She IS TEE SISTER
OF CHIMMIE rADDEA
But Miss Townsend Also Has Fame
in Her Own Right
She Has Written Successful Cam
paign Songs and Is Poet
Of Merit.

Everybody Interested in the late political
contest is familiar with the named OF Kate
Vanderpoel. who wrote the official cam
paign music for the Republican party.
Her first song, THAT Man from Ohio"
beca me thelyric watchword ofthc Mckinley
forces, and her "On 10 Victory" march
dedicated to Mark Hanna, was an inspira-
tlonal blast OF melody that caught the
hearts OF the masses with an enthusiasm
that has not been equaled since the day
of that world famous old rally chorus OF
"Tippecanoc"
on flag day Mr.. Hanna caused n copy OF
Miss Vanderpoel's famous flag song TO be
placed in each seat of the vast auditorium
at Chicago. and when the mighty cOncourse
was assembled and the band struck up the
song, tie audience. carried away by the
tumultuous excitement Of the moment, rose
as a man and wildly waved the sheets OF
music that bore each a vivid picture OF
"Old Glory"
1t seems hard that Miss NanicrpOel should
be robbed OF her musical laureis, but the
truth is, they belong by right OF creation
to Miss Cornelia Townsend, of Chicago, who
has hidden n her Identity under that attractive
nom de plume.
Miss Townsend comes fairly by her liter
airy gifts, as she is a sister of Edward W.
Townsend, ,theauthor Of C himmie f. dden,"
but il is less than four years ago since she
discovered her ability to weave her verses
The evening times., 1896-12-07

into song. Told in her own bright way 1t
makes an Interesting story. one night she
dreamed that she was singing a new song
that so plea Sed her that she repeated il over
and over again. She was awakened at last
by its melody and unable to sleep, arose and
jotted down the air and verses-and that is
the history Of her first ballard, Where
Love Is
Since then she has written in quick sue
cession cradle songs, ball ads and serenades,
each of which has yielded her its share OF
artistic and financial success. She has
no set plan for working, but simply waits
until the melodies bubble up in her breast,
when she commits them to Lines and
spaces" with no more effort than it costs a
bird to sing.
Conservative critics have declared that
her Flag song is worthy SO satisfy Amer
ica's need for a national anthem and it is
the opinion of one of the famous musicians
of the West that she has filled the niche
inthe song world made vacant by the death
of Claribel.
Personally, Miss Townsend is as pretty as
her verses and as swwet as their melody
whenset to song. At present she is guest
at the Arlington Hotel.

SANKEY'S MOST FAMOUS HYMN
The Sudden Inspiration From a
Newspaper Poem.
al.

At a great gathering recently in Denver
Mr.. Ira W. Sankey, before singing The
Ninety and Nine which perhaps of all his
compositions is the one that has brought
him the most fame, gave an account of
its birth Leaving Glasgow for Edin-
burgh with Mr.. Moody, he stopped at a news
stand and bought penny religious paper
Glancing over it as they rode on the cars,
his eye fell upon few little verses in
the corner OF the page. Turning to Mr..
Moody, he said: I've found my hymn"
But Mr.. Moody was busily engaged and
did not hear word. Mr.. Sankey did not
find time to make a tune for the verses,
so he pasted them in his music scrap book.
one day they had an unusually impressive
meeting in Edinburgh. in which DR.. Bonar
had spoken with great effect ON The
Good Shepherd
At the close Of the address Mr. Moody
beckoned TO his partner to sing something
appropriate. At first he could think OF
nothing but the Twenty-third Psalm, but
that he had sang so often; his second
thought W as to sing the verses he had found
in the newspaper; but the third thought was
how could it lie dCDe when he had no tune
for them? Then fourth thought came,
and that was to sing the verses anyway
He put the verses before him. touched the
keys of the organ, opened his mouth and
sang, not knowing where he was going TO
come out. He finished the first verse amid
profound silence. He took q long breath
and wondered if he could sing the second
the same way. He tried it and succeeded.
After that it was easy to sing it. When
he finished the hymn the meeting was
all broken down-the throngs Were crying
and the ministers were sobbing all around
him.
Mr.. Sankey says 1t was the most intense
moment OF his life. From that moment it
was a popular hymn. Mr. Moody said
st the time that he had never heard a
song like that. 1t was sung at every
The evening times., 1896-12-07

meeting and was Soon going over the
world. While travelling in the high
lands of Scotland n short time later, Mr..
Sankey received n letter from lady at
Mclrosc thanking him for singing the verses
written by her sister. That sister was
Elizabeth c. CIephaDe- He wished to call
it. ..The Lost Sheep" but Mr.. Moody in
sisted upon calling it Ninety and Nine"
whenever he announced il. Mr. Sankey
firmly believes that God inspired him to
sing that song with such effect, and the
honor should be His.

NEVER was there truer sentiment than
that expressed in the line Life is real,
life is earnest There are few people,
however, who think OF the earRestness
or reality Of this indefnable something
we call life. The majority sail along
calmly and serenely unconscious of
the serious responsibility of life, and all
which il means, entails upon us. These
look upon life as 4 grand picnic, big
