The years crop of popular songs is good deal
ike the peach crop-it is almost always failure.
j. is a failure this year. There are some songs
current just now which are recognized Ivy name
vj,eu they are mentioned. but they are few.
compared with the yield Of good year. they
are narrow N their circulation. compared with
the product of a plcntcous year, and they are
poor. compared with a good popular song OF
airy year. An exceptional crop was OF course
to be expected. and it came. when Albert
Chcvalier visited this land. by the same token
i is not fair to expect every season to produce
many such songs My Old Dutch. The
Old Kent Road" THE Future Mrs 'Awkins"
and The Little Nppcr" Ii was memorable
year for the popular collector when half
a dozen or more Of such songs those ap-
peared all together They had shade Of IL
c-,ry merit and when a song has that and is
also able to make itself genuinely popular il is
q GEM.
Such feast was not to be expected again. but
/, does seem as if all the musical farces that
have appeared since The Gaieiy Girl might
have produced somewhere among hem one more
song to approach Tommy Atkins" But they
have not done it. Just remember
on we take him from the city or the plough.
And we drill him and we dress him up so
neat;
We teach him to uphold his manly brow.
And how to walk and whore TO put his feet.
l. doesn't matter who he was before.
or what his parents fanced for his name.
Once he's pocketed the shilling ana uniform
he's filing.
We call him Tommy Atkins all the same
That song was so good that some intelligent
persons got a notion that Rudyard KiplinG wrote
1t. And compare with that such drive as

That is about the average Of literary quality
In the current song. This particular one was
decidedly popular for a period and is still heard
sometimes. Nor is IL the worst to be found By
any 1t net infrcqucntly happens that
some maker of songs stumbles on word or
combination Of words that he rightly conceives
t. be euphonious. and then writes a song around
them with the result that the song is utterly
absurd and worthless. except for the original
little combination Of words, which lies IN II as
your pearl in your foul oyster. And yet these
words may be enough to carry the song To sue

FATS VS.. LEANS.
Two Short Line Teams Will Play
Ball


! A feud has broken out in the office of
the Oregon Short Line, which will be set
tied on the field, come next Saturday. The
men who boast OF avotrdupois have de-
cided that they can worst the lean peo-
! pie in a game of baseball, and yesterday
| II. W. Human, representing the Leans,
sent challenge to II. l.. Dun, the man
| ager of the rats, asking him to pro-
duce his corpulent people on the diamond
and play.
The challenge was issued in terms indi-
eating an AFFINITY on the part of the Leans
TO scour the surface OF the earth with
! their opponents, and as a Jesuit the fat
men replied vigorously in language about
as follows:
Il beg to acknowledge receipt of your
favor OF this date. Strange events will
always mark the pathway of the life of
men. but il is strange, indeed. that any
set of lean, lank, cadaverous individuals,
such as make up the rank and file con-
nected with the oregon Short Line,
should have the audacity to challenge re
spectacle ana cultivated gentlemen to
meet them on the field of honor.
We shall, however, be grateful to you
for your communication and you may
rest assured that you will be ably COM
peted with and that ere the sun goes
down on the memorable day, victory will
fashion as TO make the heart of Dewey
ache and cause the names of Schley and
Smarter to sink into insignitcance. Yours,
III. E. DUN"
Mr.. Human Immediately Issued a
proclamation to his merry men, calling
them to arms, or to bats, in which he as
serted that the fat men are Jealous of
the graceful proportions of the slim fell
lows and the good results they accom-
pliSh with the fair sex as a result of be-
ing agile and Iissoine. The meeting is ar
ranged. not with a view of conceding the
Fats to be in any way foemen worthy of
the steel, sheepskin or bats of the Leans,
but in order to give the public a chance
to see what monkeys fat men will make
of themselves when they have chance
to do So
Mr.. Human then inserts the following:
We should all, whenever possible, try TO
lead the weak and erring into the paths
of virtue. even though a severe caStiga-
ton, administered in true Christian
spirit. is necessary to accomplish this
end, realizing full well that the end justi-
fieS the means. and that by placing a
check on their egOtism we are saving
them from greater and more humilating
defeats in the future. 1 do not think we
need to take any advantage of them by
engaging in preliminary practice. but
simply ask you all to meet me at Garfield
on Saturday, where we will give these
rail-splitters the drubbing they snerit. try
ing. of course, for our own credit. to keep
the score down to the minimum"
The Oregon Short Line has kindly con-
sented to permit the rates to remain as
they are for this event. although it had
a chance to make a great deal of money
out of the crowd which will rush to the
scene.
