years beer troubled with severe hoerse-
ness and at times hard cough, which

his horse, died only about two Years
ago.
I, was during this happy period
that John Howard Payne wrote his
Immortal sous, Home Sweet
Home ard which will endure
. nd he sung hy unborn millions 50
long as there is home.
Miss Mary Harden died some
eight o. ten years ago, leaving a.!
of her property and belongings to
her dev oted friend and kinswoman.
Miss Ehe Jackson, of Athens,
Georgia.
In the trunk of the deceased was
discovered package Of loving let
ters among them the original manu-
script of Home, Sweet Home" with
erasures and interlineations, just as
the old melody was first penned.
A few days since I met a relative
of Miss Jackson-and he told me
she saerediy preserved this memen-
to of her kinswoman' first and only
love, and refused to part with it,
although large sums had been Of
fered for this valuable relic and
which certainly ought to be held
beyond price.
While residing in Athens I have
often seen Miss Mary Harden, but
at that time she was long passed
the meridian of life, and there was
nothing either romantic or attrac-
tive about her. She always wore
an old black dress, rendered asleek
with usage. But little did the
stranger know that there beat with
in the breast of this old maid a
heart as true, loving and: devoted
as ever animated e human bosom
and that she was the first aud only
love OF one OF the most gifted and
sweetest poc,s and writer's Of the
Sony South.

HOME, SWEET HOME.
The Author, Himself an sOutcast-The
Story Of His Love for Miss
Harden.

7. Larry CAN'T.
Some one said the sweetest wCrd
is the English languages "Hone. "
The sweetest song that ever ema-
mated from al American pen is
Home Sweet Home This simple
melody has been translated into
every civilized tongue, and has
thrilled the hearts Of untold mil
lions. 1t appeals to and touches
and softens tie heart Of all human
kind. The millionaire in his gilGed
palace the peasant in hiscottage,t:ie
shivering, the starving wretch il
his garret and even the homeless
outcast as he ciiliess!y waHders
through the streets Of some great
city OF tramps the highways Of his
country. There is a peculiar pa
thos in this scDg that sIirs anew &
better feeling III the breast of man,
and touches even the most ca!lo;is
and wretcfed heart.
And yet, John Howard Payne.
the author Of Home Sweet Home
was himself an outcast and wan
dered upon the face of the earth
and had never known or expert
euced the comforts and pleasures Of
a home. His early days were spent
in nomadic existence, and in his
later years he wandered from Sone
great European capital to another,
often without a penny to buys food
or place to lay his head.
It is stated that often, while John
Howard Payne was a homeless wan
derer at night through the streets
of London, he would hear floating
from some brilliantly Illuminated
mansion the sweet and touching
strains of his own Home, Sweet
Home" Blu: little did the dazzling
,----.~---~,-----
beauty sitting at the piano know
that the author Of her song was at
that moment a wanderer by her
door, and like unto the Savior of
mankind without a place to lay his
head.
After leading for many years a
>wayward and homeless life the ad-
mirers Of this gifted poet secured
him an appointment as consul at
Tangiers in Algiers. Here inssssthis
distant land far removed from kim
dred and friends, John Howard
Payne passed away, aud died as he
had lived, without a home.

Der left The Journal and the
Pioneer Press ought to oppose the adj
mission Of Canadian lumber free OF
duty? The average farmer reader of
the Gazette will certainly be inclined
to think that short home supply OF
lumber is good reason for encourag-
ing the importation Of lumber.
Nothing can be sillier than the idea
that the cities are willing to see the
Minnesota wheat fields suffer. There
would be no strong sentiment In favor
Of Canadian reciprocity in the cities II
there were anything in this idea. When
the Minnesota farmer suffers, the MINI
nesota cities suffer. The Minneapolis
millers are to-day importing millions
Of bushels Of wheat from Kansas and
Nebraska. Does that make the Min
nesota wheat fields suffer? If there
were free trade In Canadian whea,
they would probably never impor1
more Of it than they are now import
| ing of southwestern wheat, unless
Minnesota farmers should abandon
wheat raising altogether fo1
some more profitable form o
agriculture. In that case the un
limited importation Of Canadian whea
to be ground at the Minneapolis mill
would be to the pronounced interes
of our farmers in many ways.

A Sample Anti Reciprocity Argu
ment.

There is a marked difference of
opinion among the weekly papers of
REPRESENTATIVE Volstead's district as
to his attitude in opposition to reci-
procity with Canada. The following
from the Redwood Gazette is a fair
sample Of the way in which Volstead
is defended:
It is only natural for the big dailies like
The Minneapolis Journal and the Pioneer
Press to criticize Representative Volsteatl
/ for his speech on Canadian reciprocity.
lust so long as the lumber barons Of the
state. who influence these dailies so ma
| terially, had pine timber to cut In Min
nesota, these papers and the lumbermen
were in favor Of a 50 tariff on Canadian
lumber. Now that there Is very little
| lumber left in the state they wish fol-
reciprocity, and are willing to see Mime
sofa wheat fields suffer that they might
indirectly benefit therefrom.
/ This is, like most Of the statements
made in opposition to reciprocity with
/ Canada, remarkable for it's careless
ness Of facts. 1t has been a long time
| indeed, since either r h j o u r n a
