ORIGIN CT RAG TIME.
One Zen Aarney Said to Have Invented
IL and Its Nam 1t LouisviIle,


1t and Its Name 1T Lonisviile.
The approaching end OF rag time
suggests the true story of the origin OF
the name" said a music publisher. 1t
has never been printed. About ten
years ago a young fellow named Ben
Harvey Went to party given by color
ed folks In suburb Of Louisville
While he was there two darkies, who
were experts on the banjo, began play
Ing.
While they were playing Harvey no
ticed that the rhythm produced by the
two banjos was peculiar, but very
catchy. So after a while, when called
upon to play something, Harvey ran
his fingers carelessly over the keys Of
the piano and tried 10 initiate the time
made by the two banjos.
AT first he failed, but before the
night had passed he had acquired the
time and kept the crowd entertained
with snatches from popular songs play
ed In this fashion. One of the darkies
who had performed on the banjo be-
came suddenly interested In Harney's
playing. Approaching Harvey he in
Quired:
"'Marsa Ben. wha' am yo' playin'
dar? Dat am de funniest kin Oh tune
Use ebber heerd.'
81 don't know what IL Is myself"
replied Harvey. In an offhand way. I
suppose IL had a dress suit on. like
some of these actors at the show, |
might give 1t nice. fashionable name.
But as 1t is can't think Of any name
In these rags and you Will have to let
1t 60 at that
1.-THE darkey sized Harvey from head
to foot. Harney's clothes were neat
and fitted him well. The negro
thought the argument poor one and
said:
whats the diffrunce wha' kim oh
rags yo' plays in. Marsa Ben! YO' kin
allus git er name TO it. Use tells yer
Marsa Ben, dat All ain very much In
lobe wild dat tune"
About week later there was an
other party in the neghborhood. Har-
ney was present and had to play. The
two banjo players were also there and
they thumped away together playing
all sorts Of tunes. The same darkey
who a week previous wanted to know
the name of the measure Ben was play
ing abruptly arose and. turning to the
guests with merry laugh. said:
Ladies an ge'man. Marsa Ben
Harvey has got some OBJ de most pc
culiarist kim Oh music dat eber heerd
afO'. All Use begs yo' kin diligence
To- t hyar it, Use don know de name
OBJ de tune, but it am de lObliest Use
ebber heerd.'
Ben thought the remark very funny
and replied: What do you mean, Jas
per? That music l played in those
rags last week.?
ayes returned Jasper enthusiastic
ally, dat "rag-time' music
"Well, after that rag-time became the
real thing in the town, and when Har-
ney came east he introduced it in New
York, and 1t soon was the rage all over
the country And the name rag-time
has chung to it ever since York
Sun.
