sion of her last visit to that city she
invited Mr.. Winner to hold reception
with her after concert she had given.
Those who remember having seen
the name of Alice Hawthorne given as
the author of the song on its title page
will perhaps wonder why this name
was given as the author if it was writ
ten by Mr.. Winner. The explanation is
that Mr.. Winner wrote a great many
of his songs over the pen name of Alice
Hawthorne, and sent Listen to the
Mocking Bird" into the world over that
name. Another pen name of his is
MARK Mason" Indeed, most of his
songs have been written over names
other than his own, which is proof of
the fact that modesty is one of Mr.. Win
ner's most marked characteristics.
Soldier boys of the civil war will re-
member another song of Septimus
Winners that was the sensation of the
day when it was first put into circula-
ton. and that was sung around many n
camp fire. This once famous old war
song was Give Us Back Our Old Com
mander." 1t was inspired by the re-
moval of Gen. Mcclellan from the COM
mand of the army of the Potomac. The
failures of his successors created much
criticism and discomfort, and this fact
suggested the song to Mr.. Winner. 1t
voiced the sentiment of the thousands
OF soldier boys who loved Mcclellan.
and the song made such an impression
that it attracted the attention of the
IaxN Dt.t, /
preston the song had made may be
had from the fact that the department
of war felt called upon to suppress il,
and an order went forth forbidding the
sale of the song. Mr.. Winner was noti-
fled by the war department that he
would be imprisoned in Fort Lafayette
If he continued to sell the song. and
public singer, Julia Mortimer, who was
singing tremendous effect on the
stage was informed that she would be
imprisoned If she continued singing It.
More than $4,000 copies Of the song
were sold in Washington alone, and
its author became one of the most
tallIed-of men of the day. One may be
sure that the soldiers did not take kind
ly to the order forbidding them to sing
the song, and the feeling against Gen.
burnside, who had succeeded Gen. Me-
Clellan, was stronger than ii had been
before
Mr. Winner is also the author of that
old-time favorite, "What Is Home With
out Mother?" He wrote also "Whis-
pering Hope" and many other favor
ties. Indeed, he is the author of several
hundred songs and of great many
books on musical topics, while his mu-
steal arrangements for the piano and
violin reach into the thousands.

He shut the lid and added: Where. I
wonder, does the human soul come from?
The father cannot give his, or a portion
of his, to the child, nor can the mother,
for that might involve the forfeiture OF
their title to immortality. The great poet
must be right; the soul which informs a
child, which spiritualizes it in the womb
and at its birth must come to God, who
is its Home. What a wonderful thought!
what revelation it has been to me!
What an assurance and promise!"

Mr.. Bryan is doing" the Pacific
northwest states. He is making many
speeches but is getting small attention.
The reason is that he is not thinker.
His speech is chaff. Nothing he is say
ing or ever has said will be remember
ed. His speeches will have no place in
the history of our literature or states
manship. Who will be quoting Mr.
Bryan fifty years hence, or who except
the special student of our politics will
know that he ever existed? He is con-
tributing nothing to the sum OF human
knowledge. All that he says is merely
superficial, and only darkens counsel.
He has ready and easy speech, but
never goes to the bottom of anything,
and what he says is not propagation of
truth that lives to perish never" but
is uttered merely for the temporary in
terests or purposes of personal and
party politics. Men OF sound thought
and rational purpose are not with him.
He presents nothing that appeals to
them. They see nothing In him but
multifarious superficiality. This IL the
country's estimate Of Mr.. Bryan
