The Light of Other Days" is said to
have been the most popular song OF
its time in England and it was great
favorite In America. Alfred Bum. the
author, was born In 1890 and spent his
life in London. where for several years
he was manager of Drury Lane Theater.
"The light Of other DAYS is faded
And all their tender glory past,
For grief with heavy wing hath shaded
The hopes that were too bright to last
In its power to kindle the emotions
and arouse men to action. Thomas
Hoods Song of the Shirt" counted for
more than all else he ever wrote, and
probably no other song. not patriotic or
religious, ever had a more marvellous
career.
Everyone who was born and reared on
the farm. and who recalls the sunlit
days of childhood in the country, knows
something of the heart experience that

Another forgotten song. sung by Jenny

yaac:
Ny yopth's bright dream and hope has come
again;
renew in thy fond vision my hearts dear
pain
Ny hopes and thy derision. Florence yane-"
The melodies sung by the negro min
strels of the days gone by were full Of
sentiment and beauty. The songs Of
Foster (5orn in Pittsburg. Pa. July 4,
1925 were regarded as worthy to be
sung BY the most eminent vocalists. and
are still sung by the best singers, 'Old
Folks at Home" being held as a classic
among songs Just as the Blue Danube
waltzes was classic among waltzes. |
Foster was inbued from the cradle with
the pathos. power. and genius Of music.
and every instrument in turn gave up |
its sweetness to his touch.
The song was sold to Christy, the min

be published under his name. 1t won

TEW monuments in Congressional
r. Cemetery are more deserving
L of attention than that to Push
ma-ta-ha, the Choctaw chief.
Push ma -ta-ha died in this city
on the 21st day OF December,
1924, while he was here looking after
the interests of his people. The monu-
ment is in the northwestern section of
the cemetery. in an elevated position,
and is in one of the rows of cenotaphs
erected to Congressman. 1t is of the
same sandstone used in the cenotaphs,
and Il was erected by the brother chiefs
who were visiting Washington at the

Among his last words were the following:
when Am Gone, Let the
Big Guns Be Fired Over Me-"
The chiefs wishes were carried out,
for, when he was laid to rest. Secretary
OF War John c. Calhoun, who knew and
esteemed him, had the cannon fire sa-
lutes. Push-ma- -ha had many friends
among the officials of the Government,
for re had always shown himself loyal
10 the "palefaces." He boarded at Pc
ter Marr's hotel. at the corner Of Thir-
teenth Street and Pennsylvania Avenue.
Mr.. Mari the proprietor of the hotel,
was gardener at the White House, and,
having taken great interest in Push-ma-
ta-ha. found a way TO bring him TO the
notice of President Monroe, who, in
turn, soon learned TO appreciate the
qualities of the chief.
Push -ma-ta-ha was the great oppo-
nent Of Tecumsoh. When the latter, in
1911, made visit through the South
ern tribes, urging a coalition to exter-
inmate the whites, in which mad en-
deavor he was aided by the agents Of
England and Spain, Push -ma-tS-na,
with other Choctaw chiefs, opposed his
measures and kept the Choctaws true to
their traditional friendship for the
whites.
Several bloody massacres resulted
from Tecumseh's efforts. and the whites
in the territory now occupied by the
Gull states were in imminent peril they
were far from American help and en-

'It is due to the Vice President and
