THE SUBURBAN

There is now a strong current away

central zation OF population has not yet
reached It's maximum stiil there Is
a quite apparent drift from the urban

attracting attention. The census shows
that the farm is continually enriehing
the city and is not receiving from the
city In return. hut is receiving It's tillers
from foreign lands. While the native is
leaving agriculture for manufacture and
trade. the foreigner is becoming the
lreat producer on our broad acres.
Yet there is bread suburban field
between the city and the farm, and into
chat Is now setting drift that carries
large and growing population, that
takes urban life into a suburban envi-
ronment This population is OF the city.
but not In 1t. II has home In the
country and business in towy with the
advantages OF both and the ability 10
escape the dlscomforts of each.
This condition has been brought
about by the multiplicity of railways,
with rapid suburban service: by a net
work of trolley lines that Is interlacing
the land by the perfection OF the auto
mobile and the extension OF the tele-
phone These things have drawn stone-
covered and brick enclosed streets near
to broad roads in setting OF verdure,
Ehey have made II but a step from city
to country: they have united the metro

and made It possible to couple the
pleasures OF the city with the delights
Of the country.
They have brought condition that
Is drawing thousands into country
homes, and among them many who are
able to maintain two abiding places
enc on the avenue. another In the fields
For these fortunate ones the town sea-
son Is growing shorter and shorter. A
little while ago they went from the
country to their home In the city imhle'

greatest fascination 1t Is the country

This Is clearly the tendency OF the

ORIGIN or "Shoo Fly"
lBishop wrote a great variety of songs.
ne could be comic, sentimental. patri-
ctic. heroic. 'tShoo Fly" one OF his
greatest hits, was written during the
war. He was assigned to command
company of eolored soldiers. and did
not altogether relish the JOB. One day
he heard a colored soldier ask part
ner how he felt. The latter said, Use
feelin' like mo'ning star" The other
said, We'll feel like frog that's lost
It's ma" colored listener overheard
the remarks and said somewhat dis
gustedly: All, shoe fly; don't bother
me-"
Bishop caught at the exclamation as
if it were an inspiration. Then he
wrote the song about the members Of
the despised company G. He taught 1t
to his soldiers. and ii went like wild
fire. In a short while his command
was the most popular in the regiment,
and every night the soldiers would
crowd around his tent to hear his dark
les sing. His audiences grew so large

entertainment was given $4,000 soldiers.

the chorus. The song was pirated, and
Bishop profted very little from its
sale.
IN those times songs were not pub
lished as readily as they are to-day. and
were often sung by the ministries for
months. and sometimes years, before
they appeared in print. Thus 1t fire.
quently occurred that songs We're sold
by singers who had learned them, they
posing as the authors, and thus de-
frauding the real creators.

years Then Bishop sold it to f. =.

their instruments to the tune Of Sweet

Found An Honest Man.
Bishop found the poem. Kitty
Wells" in an old newspaper. II was
written by Charles Slade. Bishop set
the poem to music and sang it through
out the country. He then learned that
il was published with another melody.
and ceased using the version. Ten
wears later he learned that 3 T. Cor

that his was the melody the public

Liver Pills and Tonic Pellets for
years, and cannot say enough for
them for the good they have done
in my family. l wish 10 tell you
specially what they did for my
youngest son. We thought he
was too little to take pills, but
when he saw the rest of us taking
our usual Tonic Pellets at night
he would cry for one also. So we
commenced giving them to him
regularly, and from a pale, delicate
child he improved immediately,
and lately he is as robust a lad as
ever breathed mountain air, rosy

as any big fat Irishman you evel
