my OLD KENTUCKY HOME"
The stsry Of the Origin of This Ea-
meus Old song.

b.. ,llle saiaii Ny, A.G l,9at12.sy Ealasi,
was written by Stephen Collins Foster
resident Of Pennsylvania. while he
and his sister We're ON visit to Judge
Jonn Rowan. Il short distance east of
Bardstown, Ky. One beautiful morn
Ing while the slaves were ut work in
the corn field ana the sun was shining
with mighty splendor on the waving
grass, first giving it the color of a
light red, then changing ii to golden
hue, there We're seated upon bench in
front OF the Rowan homestead two
young people, brother and II sister
High up III the tree was a hooking bird
warbling its sweet notes. Over in the
hidden recess Of Il small brush the
thrush's mellow song could be heard.
A number of small negro children were
playing not far away. When Foster
had finished the first verse OF the song
his sister took it from his hand and
sang in = sweet, mellow voice:
1.-THE 81 / shines bright in the old Ken
lucky home;
IT'S summer the darlsies are gay;
The corn tops rise and the meadows In
the bloom,
While the birds make music all the day
"The young folks roll on the little cabin
hoor
All merry, all happy, all bright;
By N by hard times comes a-knockin' at
the door
Then my old Kentucky home, good
night"
On her finishing the first verse the
hooking bird descended 10 lower
branch The fcathery songster drew
his head TO one side and appeared to be
completely cnraptured at the wonder
full voice Of the young singer. When
the last sweet note died away upon the
air her fond brother sang in deep
bass voice:
weep no more. my lady; oh, weep no
more today;
Well sing one song for the old Ken
lucky home,
For our old Kentucky home far away.
"A few more days to tote the weary load.
No matter, twill never be light.
A few more days till we totter en- the
Then, my old Kentucky home, good
night"
The negroes had laid down their hoes
and rabes, the little tots had placed
themselves behind the large shetering
trees. while the old black women We're
peeping around the corner of the house,
The faithful old house dog never took
his eyes off the young singers. Every
thing was still; not even the stirring of
the leaves seemed to break the wonder
full silence. Again the brother and sis
ter took hold OF the remaining notes
and sang in sweet accents:
"They hunt no more for the possum and
the coon
On the meadow, the hill and the shore;
They sing no more by the glimmer OF the
moon,
On the bench by the old cabin door.
The day goes by like a shadow Ger the
heart
With sorrow where all was delight;
The time has come when the darkies
Then. my old Kentucky home. good
night.
The head must bow and the back will
have TO bend
Wherever the darby may go;
A few more days and trouble all will end
In the fields where the sugar cane
grow"
AS the song was finished tears flowed
down the old peoples cheeks, the chill
dren crept from their hiding place be
hind the trees. their faces wreathed in
smiles; the hooking bird and the
thrush sought their homes in the thick
ct, while the old dog still lay basking
in the SUM- Dafdstown (i<yD Record

LIVE STOCK MARKET LETTER

Special Correspondence.
Kansas City, Mo-, July l0.-The cat
tie run last week was 10000 head, a
decrease of 1000 head from the pre-
vious week. The proportion OF beer
steers continued light, and receipts
from the range country were also
small, but the run of quarantine cat
tie held up heavy. The distribution
as TO class suited the packers all
right, and the week closed with a
gain of Is to Csc on killing cattle,
and with stockers and feeders 10 to
15c higher.
The supply today is heavy, at 15,-
900 head, half of which are in the
quarantine division. The market av-
eroged about steady today, some of
the good native steers, heifers and
COWS selling strong to a little higher,
which quarantine steers sold steady
at IOc lower. Some of the fed Col
orados from around Fowler, have sold
in the last few days at $3.50 to 50
against $4.35 to $3.50 week before last
A train OF Idaho feeders sold at 1886
early last week; Panhandle stockers
and feeders at 1886 TO $3.50. Sew
eral strings of light stock from that
country today sold at $3.50 to sass
Grass COWS sell at $2.35 to SO; bulls
$2.25 to SO, and Gamers, of course
down around 81. The regular can
ming season has not opened yet, but
the packers will be prepared fol
them week after next. The liberal
supply today is taken TO indicate that
the big movement is on for the fall
months.
The sheep market keeps on gain
ing, an advance of Is to 25c being
made last week. The market i;
strong, 10 10c higher. Receipts con
sist mainly of Arizona wethers anc

tive muttons included. New records
were made today when Arizona spring
lambs sold at $3.50; Arizona shorn
grass wethers, 98-pounds, sold a
$40; S4-pound yearlings, at 1915
Receipts here are considerably heav
Ter than at this time last year, bu'
the demand was never more keeI
