BIG RUNS OF POPULAR SONGS.

An Author and Publisher Tells How
Some Catchy Melodies Have Sold
In the year 1868 ! was yachting in
Long Island sound with a young friend
of mine named Smith We were lying
OF New Haven becalmed. and although
I did not know it then, have since re
allied that this period was a turning
point in my career. The doctors had
told me that if | did not stop dancing
l would become a cripple. was some
thing at a loss what to turn my atten-
ton TO, as at that time | knew of moth
ing except dancing. Smith at that
time was a clerk in the music publish
ing house Of Oliver Ditson & Co. in
Boston.
| said to Smith: Il believe | can
write the songs to make a concern
rich. Let us form a company aud start
publishing music" We managed TO
scrape together a small sun of money
and started in business. At the end OF
the first two years we were nearly bank
rupt The cause of this failure found
10 be that we had been selling other
publications and not our own. All the
money | could raise was realized out OF
the remainder of my capital, which con-
sisted Of an old schooner, which sold.
realizing $500.
The first hit we made was with the
old and well known melody, 'Shoo
Fly" did not write this. but it was
an original composition, and we sold
30. 600 copies of the song and l25,OOO OF
the galop My first real strike as a
song writer was made with Put Ne in
My Little Bed"
This was suggested to me by seeing
a picture of the prophet Samuel in the
window Of a Boston shop "a ! was go
ing home one evening. Samuel was
kneeling by a bedside with his hands
clasped in prayer. | turned to my son
and said. THAT win be a popular
song"
| wrote the melody and the first
verse in fifteen minutes. The popular
fty Of this song was immense. The
second Of my successes was Come,
Birdie The idea of this song came &c
me while / was lying in a hammock
under a tree. A beautiful woOdpeckeI
was tapping at the bark Of the tree,
and lifting my hand p~layfully toward
the bird | said: Come, Birdie, Come.
This was a success from the start, il
sales outnumbering that of Put Me II
, NV Little Bed" by many thousands.
The next of my successes was entitled
P Moonlight on the Lake" This was

AFRICAN EXPLORERS.

The Continent Has Been Crossed Sixteen
Times by White Men. !
Africa has been crossed by explorers
sixteen times. The first journey, from
Angola to Yete, was made in 1S02-1S11
by Honorato da Costa, Portuguese
Francesca +. Coimbra went from Mozam-
bique to Benguela in 1s3s-4S. and Silva
Porta from Benguela to the mouth of the
Rovumay in 1886. Livingstone left
San Paulo de Loando in 1854 and reached
Quilimane in 1856. The fifth crossing
was accomplished by Gerhard Rolfe,
who in 1865 and 1866 travelled from
Tripoli to the Gulf of Guinea, near the
mouth of the Niger. Lieutenant Cam
eron, twenty years after Livingstone,
did the sixth trip, between Bagamoyo
and Benguela- Then came Stanley

of the Congo; Serpa Pinto 0s77-79), from
Benguela to Port Natal; the Italians,
Matteuci and Massari (1SS0-S2), from
Suakim to the mouth of the Niger. Be-
tween 1882 and 1884 Wissmann went
from San Paulo de Loanda to Sadaani.
on the Zanzibar coast, and Arnat, a
Scotch missionary, went from Port Natal
to Benguela. The twelfth crossing was
made ino1ss4-S5 by Capello and Ivaus,
Portuguese; the thirteenth in 1855 by
the Swedish Lieutenant, Gleerup, who
passed but six months in reaching Baga-
moyo from Stanley's Falls, on the Lower
Congo. The Austrian, Oscar LEM, went
from the mouth of the Congo to Quill
name in 1SS5-S7. The fifteenth crossing
was Stanley's last one. The sixteenth
was done by the French Captain Trivier,
who took two years to go from Angola
to Mozambique. Besides these sixteen
successful crossings, there are on record
many trips of exploration that were cut
short on the Dark Continent by the
tremendous natural difficulties. It is
remarkable that in the last ten years
more crossings have been made than in
the preceding eighty, and that while
long ago ten years were required for
the undertaking, one year or even six
months may now be sutsacient IN. Y,

sHAwHAN's SUPERB STABLE.

The Folly of q Wealthy San Franciscan
Who Flew Too High.
About fifteen years ago, in San Fran
cisco, a speculator in mining stocks
''struck it rich" and began the erection
of a costly stable on the very summit of
fashionable Mob hill, intending to build
a splendid house when he '.struck it, a
little richer" The lot was one of the
largest and best on the hill. and all
about were the homes of the suddenly
made rich, who were irreverently called
''nobs," and thus the Locality came to
be christened by its suggestive name.
The SPECTATORS hame was Shawhan,
and he meant to outshine every other
mob on the hill. He is said to have
spent on his stable over 100000 and it
looked like a splendid house. There
was in it great marble drinking trough
into which the water ran from the
mouth of a marble lion that had been
-sculptured in Italy expressly for Shaw
han. In front of the trough was plate
glass mirror as large as the side of q
small house. The floor of the hay-loft
was of inlaid wood and plastered all
OfCi tlC nutCIlOi w lio VI tiiC DullulukS
were shields and armorial bearings.
Shawhan was from Kentucky and with
characteristic pride traced his ancestry
back to enough great people in England
and America to make biographical
dictionary an indispensable article in
the household of every acquaintance.
After the stable was finished Shaw
hans speculations were not so profita-
BILE rs he had hoped, and. pending rise
in the market, he and his family livee
in a rented house near the costly stable.
His ventures all proved unsuccessful
and within a comparatively short period
he had lost his last dollar in the stock
market. The lot and stable on Mob
hill went with the rest of his suddenly
acquired fortune, and for long time
after people who were ignorant of the
history of the stable would audibly
wonder in passing by it, eWhy doesn't
somebody live in that splendid house?"
