POPULARITY AND PROFIT.


 How profitable some songs are when they happen to strike the popular fancy Is shown by the following refer ence to a few of them in The New York World:
 now? Yet t paid sss,OOo in royalties to Charles K. Harris, and the same composer reaped richly from his Two at least $50. ooO from "on the Banks of the Wabash" and almost as much from .sJust Tell Them That You Saw Me" oSs to psuI pTy srues s SsO~Eas eooa S d Summer Time" was worth $lO.ooo to Evans and Shields, and so the list goes on.
 Not one of these songs has had what one could call lasting fame or popular ity They were topical songs, pleas ant to the ear. They caught the popu- lar fancy. which means that they were good sellers and that in turn means that they were profitable to the writ era. None of these songs is heard now GOT rarely so-unless it be from photographic record. yet they were all the so for a time. Now take this oth- CT paragraph from The World:
 Or. the other hand. septimus Winner got e35 for Listen to the Mocking Bird, which still lives. and Stephen c. Foster, with Fls "Old Folks at Home, ' "Old Kentucky Home" Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming" and other ballads undying. was at his topmost notch of prosperity at $1,500 a year. Benjamin Russel Hanby never got a cent for Nellie Gray" and did not know his cong had been published till he heard 1t in Cleveland concert hall.
 Here is a contrast indeed. Some of the songs in the latter list are among the very best of their class but they failed to catch on" and brought little or no profit. But that is not all. Some of the greatest poets of other days. men whose writings will be read and admired while civilization lasts. would have starved if they had not found some other means of livelihood. The profits of an author depend on popular favor-or popular fancy.

R.tw.sn supper and Rreakfa.t.

Many persons, says a well known
doctor, though not actually sick, keep
below par In strength and general
tone. and he is Of the opinion that
fasting during the long interval be
tween supper and breakfast, and espe-
cially the complete emptiness Of the
stomach during sleep, adds greatly to
the amount of cancellation, sleepless-
ness and general weakness we so often
meet. 1t is logical to believe that the
supply of nourishment should be some
what continuous. especially In those
who are below par, If we would coun'
teract their cancellation and lower de

else is suspended during sleep, with

vigor are the results.-London Globe.

An odd hunting adventure recently
befell a British officer In India. He
was mounted on feet mule and was
running down a wild boar, intending
to lance II, when the animal turned,
bit the mules leg and then ned again.
The mule screamed savagely, and In
minute she had deposited the officer
on the ground. Then, kicking out
vigorously Ave or ak times, as II to
see that her legs were ali right, she
started after the unfortu se pig at
lightning speed. with fury in her eyes
and vengeance In the crook OF her
ears. The race was not long, and the
Wild boar soon realized that he had
exasperated a relentless enemy. He
was soon winded, and the mule, COM
ing up with him, caught him by the
backbone with her teeth, crunched 1t
end threw him to the ground and
then, before he could rise. kicked him
so viciously that he was dead boar
in less than no time. Then the mule
returned to her master and gave utter
ance to q "heehaw" Of triumph.

The Palisades.

To see New York city from the Pail
sades is 10 witness the multiple beau
~ and wonder OF the Palisades them
selves. One OF the most astonishing
facts concerning these towering
masses Of grandeur IS that they lie so
close to the most artificial, man sub
jugated area that civilization mas
evolved, writes Philip VerriIi Mighels
In Harper's Magazine. To come upon
the Palisades from the rear at night
Is like stepping to the edge OF the
world, where the slender dark Island
lies low beyond as II 1t were only
q part OF space. its countless lights
looking like millions OF stars stretched
for miles across the sky. The illu.
sion Is dispelled when the wind flows
up with the tide to the base OF the
cliffs and lifts up the full throated
roar OF the substantial city.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT, 1908


The longest dance on record Is prob
ably that Of william Kemp. an actor
of some celebrity In the reign OF Queen
Elizabeth. He was comedian and
danced all the way from London 10
Norwich.
He was attended by O taborer, a
servant and an overseerAbnd it was
doubtless a good thing Tor him that
there were no omnibuses or police then,
for they would probably have imposed
more impediments in the way OF MS
progress than did the country people.
He started with several presents OF
groats and crooked slxpences for luck,
and. laden with these, he danced to
Stratford with out rest
Subsequently he went In for early
rising to avoid market people. and,
though suffering from a sprain OF the
hip which he received. he danced 1t
well again, to the delight Of the crowd
which accompanied him. some 200 In
number.
When he reached Norwich he h2d to
dance in and out OF the city twice,
for his overseer missed him In the
crowd and made him do the distance
over again to avoid any possibility OF
error.-London Graphic.

A Theater Dialogue.

The curtain had fallen on the first
act at Broadway theater when a
man, correctly attired and apparently
Of refinement, leaned toward a woman
occupying a seat directly In front OF
him-a woman who had naturally re.
moved her hat, but whose hair was
arranged in the extreme of fashion,
aided by "boughten" puts.
81 beg your pardon, madam" said
the man in an audible whisper, "but II
you would remove your hair and sub
stitute your hat believe l would be
able to see something more Of the
stage"
The woman didn't scream. She
didn't even faint. She merely turned
around and replied:

I'd slap your ace."-New York Globe
