Due to "A Popular Song.


When | first heard Meath the Trees
Where the Hammock Swung" l
thought IL was a very nice song, and |
tried to hum ii on the way home. L
couldn't get anything that sounded
right, but part of the chorus, but l
went over and over that with a great
deal Of satisfaction. The next day the
boy who shined my shoes whistled 1t
as he worked. There were two notes
wrong, and | gently corrected him,
humming IL over once or twice. 1t an
noys me to have beautiful thing like
that spoiled.
At the office Jones burst in with:
"Say, boys, have you heard the lat
est? Meath the Trees Where the
Hammock Swung It's a cOrker. 1t
goes like this:
Rum te tum tupmty tum tum,
Rum te tum the sha-ade among,
Rumpty tum tumpy tum tumy
Meath the trees where the ham,
mock swung.
/ haven't got it quite right, but It's a
peach!'
Well, it was. Jones Is miserable
singer, but he couldn't quite hide the
| beauty of that chorus.
There is a young lady in the fiat
above us who has piano, and that
| night she practiced on Meath the
| Trees Where the Hammock Swung"
| till II o'clock. and then didn't get il
right. But she was at it again while
we were eating breakfast next morn
ing.
Inside of a week l heard that song
at every hour OF the day and night un-
| til 1t began to pail on me somewhat t.
| BY the end of another week II was in
the Photographs, in the concert halls,
I'm the theaters. In the street pianos.
There was no escaping from 1t. Thin
chested young men and fat young
ladies sang it at otherwise orderly par
Tor gatherings, boys and men whistled
1t over and over in varying pitches and
| discords, and hand organs ground Ii
out with endless quavers, while my
poor jangling nerves kept time.
Last night | met a man in the lonely
street who stopped and asked me for a
match. lit it for him, and something
in his face prompted me to ask with a
sudden irresistible curiosity who he
was.
"Sir," said he, drawing himself up
and smiling complacently, 81 am the
author of Meath the Trees Where the
Hammock Swung"
Then | killed him. This, gentlemen,

Factories without Cbimneys.

To horseless carriages and smokeless
powder add chimneyless factories as
the newest in nomenclature. Hereto
fore II has been necessary In order TO
secure plenty OF draft for a furnace
90 build an immensely tall chimney.
Now IL is found that instead of pulling
the draft by chimney you can push
1t from below with fan. A plant run
ming three boilers of 260-horse power
tried this experiment with a fan whose
wheel had a diameter Of 81 inches
The draft was so much bettered that
the firm saved nearly $1,000 year by
using a cheaper grade OF coal.

VAN WICK NOTACANDlCATE
Lays Aside Ambition TO Fight With
q United Party.


The announcement which comes
from Judge Augustus Van Wyck that
he will under no circumstances permit
his name to be used In any part Of the
country rs a presidential candidate
will not surprise anybody who knows
the man. Judge Van Wyck is a mar of
eminent good sense and a stanch Dem
ocrat. and ever if it were true that he
at one time had presidential aSpira-
tons, his present announcement would
be n natural step, says the Atlarta
Constitution. We cannot agree With
the explanation which attributes his act
to Mr.. Crokcr's influence. Rather is it,
like the Bryan statement of the Tam
many leader. simply a recognition Of
the trend of events toward full Demo-
cratic unity through a better under
standing of Mr.. Bryan and all he
stands for.
Judge Van Wyck is one of those New
York Democrats. who. like his brother,
the mayor of Greater New York, gave
the Democratic ticket loyal support in
the campaign Of 1896: and that he lays
aside any ambitions he may have had in
that line means that he. like Mr.. Gro
kcr. recognizes that Mr.. Bryan is the
man of the hour for Democracy, and
that the way TO win is to lay aside per
sonal ambitions. smooth @ fractional
differences and present a solid front to
the enemy. which is exactly what the
Democratic party Is preparing to do
There are going to be no differences
Ovcr the candidate or the platform. Tho
next national convention will find the
party united and aggressive. aud witt,
1t in that shape there IS an excellent
chance for victory in the campaign
which will follow.
