AUTHOR OF "THE MocklNe BIRD"
Septimus Winner Composed Many Fa-
mIlar and Popular Dittes.
From the Philadelphia press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
| Few song writer's have achieved the
success and the fame which Septimus
Winners compositions brought him. But,
aside from songs, he won distinction as
a composer of 200 books on the technical
treaties of musical instruments. He is
also the author of 1000 arrangements for
the violin and piano.
A few days ago he completed a poetic
work on 1.-The Cogitations of a Crank"
When Edgar Allan Poe was author of
Graham's Magazine Mr. Winner contrib
uted a number of poems to that publica-
ton.
Many of the ditties that have lulled
children to sleep for the last two genera
tons were composed by him. Among his
creations in lighter vein are Ten Lit
tie Injuns' and 1.-THE Deutchers Dog"
Some of his serious compositions are

whispering Hope" and Give Us Back
Our Old Commander" This song was
written few days after General Burn
side had superseded Mcclellan in COM
mand CT the Army of the Potomac. In
spiration for the song sprang from the
wave of indignation which swept over
the country, and particularly among the
soldiers of the Army of the Potomac, in
opposition to the removal of Mcclellan.
Within a few hours after the song ap-
peared $4,000 copies were sold in Wash
ington. Later, when General Lee admin
istered a crushing defeat to Burnside, 1t
was sung by a mighty chorus of 100000
soldiers as they marched along the Rap
pahannock to Fredericksburg. The gov
eminent ordered the publication of the
song stopped. 1t threatened to disrupt
the military forces. Soldiers who persist
ed in singing 1t were court-martialed.
Although Mr.. Winner lived from the
royalties of his songs, his best compost
lions brought him In the least profit. He
sold 1.-THE Mocking Bird" for $35. Years
afterward the publishers who had helped
to handle it admitted that they had made
So, 900, 900 out of it. But 1t was this song.
however, that extended Mr.. Winner 8
fame to other lands.
Born in Philadelphia, young Septimus
Winner imbibed his musical inclinations
from old-time minstrels and actors In the
little theater then managed by his father
at Third and Green streets.
1T was here while a mere boy that the
inspiration for the mocking bird came to
him In the form of a whistle, uttered by
a small boy up in the pnurky gallery.
HE whistles like a hooking bird" ex-
claimed the comedian on the stage.
Fifty-six years ago Mr.. Winner was
married to Miss Hannah J Guyer. He
founded the Musical Fund society, and
all his life he was identified with local
musical organizations.

BULLS AND BEARS

Bulls and bearsl What does 1t mean?
Everything! Directly or indirectly it af-

humiliation. Let the smallest merchant
depreeiate or enhance the value of any
product or commodity, and he becomes
either knowingly or unoonsciously, a bull

THE INFINITE"

Go out beyond the farthest rim OF space
Look back across the limitless expanse,
And then-go back to times beginning

And, starting there. unto the end ad-
vance
When you have comprised space and
measured time,
When through all cons. through all
lengths have trod-
Reached lowest depths and heights the
most sublime
You have known God.
Go, find the atom that untrammelled
flies
Through boundless space, or find the
hidden one
That in some clod in quiet silence lies;
Then measure that. and when this task
is done,
Go measure MATERIAL from star to star.
And measure space from rim to rim,
When you In wisdom's ways have gone
thus far
You have known Him.
Go find the force that wakens men to
llfe
That changes atoms into leaf and
bloom,
That stirs the tempest into raging strife
jOr forms the breeze oerladen with
perfume
When you have found the Force that
moves the world,
That clothed it with its trees and
bloom and sod
That formed all spheres that into space
were hurled
You have found God.
Go, find the secret springs of life and

You have found him.

g., exchange floor, know no neutral ground,
and should you fall victim to their
| wiley play, their advantage is pressed TO
the utmost.
In the practical workings of the large
exchanges there are two departments.
First, the dealing or immediate delivery
second, the Immediate delivery Of the ar
ticle traded in at some specified time In
the future. Actual delivery of the stun
Sold Is the basis of the transaction In
each case. In regard to the second, which
is commonly designated dealing IN Iu-
lures" the seller enters into contract
with the buyer to deliver a certain guam
| tity of cotton, grain or provisions OF
standard grade, at some specified time;
say, one or twelve months IN the future.
| This delivery must be made according to
the terms of the contract, and the only
way in which the seller can be relieved
| from delivering. or the buyer from re-
ceiving the article, Is to transfer to some
one else his contract. In this case he
makes or loses according to whether or
not the transfer is made at figures which
show a profit or a loss on the original
deal
The man who buys is called bull,
and is supposed to make the purchase on
the idea that the article he buys will In
crease in value before the time arrives
when he has contracted to take 1t, and he
Will either take 1t then and sell II al a
profit or he will in the meantime, take
advantage of the advance in the market
and sell his contract at a profit
The man who sells is bear" He be-
lievess that prices are going lower. and
that by the day on which he has con-
tracted to make delivery, he can buy the
article at a lower price than he has sold
1t, and so deliver 1t to the buyer at a
profit. He can, should prices decline, sell
to small advantage.
The buyer is called long on the mar
ket while the seller is called short on
the market.
A "call' is where one agrees, for con-
sideration, to deliver certain article at
some fixed price and time, permitting the
buyer to cali on him for 1t. A"put' Is the
exact opposite of call" The seller Of
the put" agrees to pay so much for the
article at the buyers option.
