everyone was whistling the air or
singing the words, and when |
published it there was a great de-
mand for it,"
The song was sung all over a.
merica and in many parts of Eu-
rope. Many of the most noted
public singers of the day sang it
on the stage, and one such singer
in particular, Miss Emma Nevada
has sung it in all parts of the
world. She is so fond of the song
that she sought ont the author
when she was i'll Philadelphia, and
on the occasion of her last visit tC
this city she invited Mr.. Winner
to hold a reception with her after
concert she had given.
Those who remember having
seen the name of Alice Hawthorn {
given as the author of the song or
its title page will perhaps wonder
why this name was given as the
author if it was written by Mr.
Winner. The explanation is tha
Mr.. Winner wrote great many
of his songs over the name of Al

Killed i'm Football Game.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-In a football
game at the Normal Park School
grounds today, SiXty-eight street
and Stewart avenue, Edward Gil
lette, aged II, was so seriously in
jured that he died in few hours
at his home.
According to the story told by
the boys who were playing with
him at the time, Gillette, who had
hold of the ball, slipped and fell
as he was trying to make dash
around the end.
All the players piled on him,
and the opposition endeavored TO
get the pigskin away from him.
Gillette held onto the ball and
shouted that he was injured. He
attempted to rise, but failed.
1t was found that he was su fer,
ing from internal injuries. After
reaching home he became uncOn-
scious, and died.

Changed the Name.

The Alton officials have changed
the name of Glendale station to
Sclsa. This is a famous place
just east of Kansas City, which
was the scene of so many train
robberies. Passengers were so
well posted that whenever the
brakeman shouted the name Glen
dale they We're nervously appre-
hensive until after the train had
gotten past the dangerous place,
This was the scene of the Jesse
James exploits and less than
year ago a train of the Alton was
held up there. The officials fgur-
ed that if the name was changed
to something radically different
that passengers might forget that
such place ever existed and
would not associate the lonely
spot with train robbers. Just
where they found the euphonious
name of Selsa is not known.

Boston, Mass, Nov. o" Under
any conditions involving "A with

fcnsc."
This was the reply Of Scnor Six
to Lopez, formerly II member of
the Filipino commission to the T.
nitcd States and II close associate
Of Aguinaldo, when asked today
what would be the course of his
people. He was asked;
Do you recognize Americas $
responsibilities to the world at
large since the United States have
driven ont Spain"
Yves, but those responsibilities
ought to be discharged by Amcri-
ca, and not at the expense of the
Philippine independence, These
responsibilities, in so far as the
treaty of Paris is concerned, were
undertaken by America without
consulting us.
"lf so, what guarantee can your
people offer for an orderly govern
ment that will satisfy Europe and
Justify American withdrawal"
I'VE have never undertaken to
satisfy those who would never be
satisfied, no matter what we did.
We can only say that we are ripe
for independent government, and
We believe that we shall be in as
strong position as Japan now oc-
cupies.'

GOVERNMENT ONCE "
~ SUPPRESSED HIM.

Here's about musician little
known in the world, tho his music
has been sung by thousands. He
wrote as Alice Hawthorne, and
one of his famous pieces was,
Listen to the Mocking Bird"
Following was written from Phila-
delphia, Pa:
An old man, who celebrated his
seventy-fourth birthday last May,
is busy just now correcting the
manuscript of new song. At the
same time that friends gathered
about him last spring to congratu-
late him on his birthday they also
congratulated him because it was
the forty-fourth anniversary of the
publication of the song, Listen
to the Mocking Bird
This song has gone all over the
world. The greatest of singers
have sung it, street urchins have
whistled it and the greatest of
musicians, as well as the humblest,
have played it. The name of the
author on the title page of the
music is Alice Hawthorne. This
is an assumed name. The real
name of the composer is Septimus
Winner.
Mr.. Winner has always made
his home in Philadelphia. This is
Mr.. Winners account of the cir
cumstances under which he wrote
the famous Listen to the Mock
lug Bird" as he related it recently
to a few friends:
"At the time | wrote the song
there was ~ lively, merry-heartcd
little colored boy running around

following item:
j. $. McCune, who recently as
sumcd the cashiership of Laddon-
in Bank, is making IA success of it
from the start. Mr.. McCune was
president while Mr.. Wilder was
cashier, but they simply changed
positions, which was agreeable to
all concerned. Mr.. McCune has
moved his family into Laddonia
from his farm and is comfortably
domiciled in a handsome cottage.
The business of money changing

haps, to their children, who will

is to help the weak, lift up the
fallen, cheer the downcast, and,
finally go to your long, last sleep
with the consciousness that YOU
have done what you could to make
the world brighter and better, than
it is to gain the whole world and

Preacher Trades Horses.

A good joke is told on a certain
minister of the gospel living in
Boone county, who likes to trade
horses by way of recreation. BY
some means the preacher came in
to possession of horse that would
not pull at all when he came to a
hill. The parson had no use for
that kind of a steed and determin-
ed to trade him off. He found a
purchaser who inquired particu-
larly as to the age, condition and
qualities of the parsons steed. AT
last he asked if he was a tried pull
Ter. ut would do your soul good
to see him pull" was the enthusi-
astic response. The trade was
made and in a few days the new
owner came back and claimed the
parson had misrepresented the
qualities of the animal, ri tolG
you it would do your soul good tC
see him pull, and would it no
have done soi" The purchaser saw
the point and dropped the subject
