NELSON KNEAs AND BEN BOLT.
What the Musician Did to Popular
ize the Poem.

From the st. Louis Globe.Dcmocrat.
The death of Thomas Dunn English,
the author of Pen Bolt" recalls the
fact that\ the composer of the music,
Nelson Kneass, who died many yeare
ago, is buried at Chillicoth, Mo. The
poem, with its tender sentiment and
outline of character, was the ground
work of the famous song, and the crea-
tive genius of English is undisputed.
The fact remains, however, that the
poem was but a beautiful waif, drift
ing here and there in print, when
Kneas, IA professional musician, found
it, and, without knowing the author,
set 1t to music. Kneas had more talent
than thrift, and, after many vicissi-
tudes and travels, died comparatively
young in little Missouri city. The
divided authorship of the words and
music resulted in controversies that
were frequent annoyance to English.
With a vigorous pen, he gave the pub
lie the facts and they will stand as ac-
cepted history.
But it is unlikely that the poem
would ever have become world-famous
without the music, which Is so sweetly
infused with the feeling and imagery
of the poet. In Du Maurier's treat
ment of the song, it is the music that
hypnotizes, and yet ii is true that the
melody is but reflex of the words.
This form of authorship is nothing
new. The basis of the "Marseillaise"
is an old German religious compost
ton, and the melody of the "Star-
Spangled Banner was openly bor-
rowed. The air of america" is that
of the English and German national
anthems, and its origin is lost in his
tory. Kneass was contemporary of
Stephen C. Foster and produced many
negro melodies, but Foster was then.
and Is now, in a class of his own In
writing what may be typically called
American ballads. Kneass was of
British birth, but took kindly to
American ways. His memory deserves
a word in connection with ben Bolt"
