palmy days that anybody could ever
sing OF Sally so charmingly as Tom Dixon
used to do; "Cast Iron Tom" his associ-
ate actors called him. He had been
over many lands and seas, and he had
faced perils enough to justify the nick
name. At IA he was a drummer boy in
the Union army. When the war ended
he went to Australia to dig gold. Coming
home he was shipwrecked, and for four
months he lived on an island with
savages as his only companions. Then
he got into minstrelsy, and sang the
song that supported him to the end of
his days. The ballad will survive him,
though. 1t has lived nearly 200 years,
and still it is admired for its simplicity
and its quaint melody. Henry Carey, a
London musician, composed both words
and music. He lived early in the last
century, and in fit of desperation COM
mitted suicide in 1743.
