CAMPAIGN SONGS.

After all Of the stern realities con
hected With presidential elections,
Ethere is some mirth, some laughter
and some song in them. We nav,
campaign slogans and campaign
songs. We have the same fellow who
does the part of the jester in the
light opera and we have the heavy
man in our presidential bouts, just
as We DO in Faust" and Richard
the Third" However, one of the most
charming accomplishments to the av-
erage presidential campaign is the
song book" Of the two great parties,
that comes along each four years and
adds touch of human nature and a
snatch of song to the humdrum prog
ress of the campaign.
This custom was originated in the
memorable campaign of 1910, when
that old war horse, William Henry
Harrison was elected to the presi-
dency, after a very bitter fight. The
contest was known as the Hard cider
and tho famous refrain
rippecanoe and Tyler, Too" still re.
mains in the mind of the people as a
souvenir Of this momentous period in
the making of American presidents.
The democrats have scored first
this year with their song book and a
copy of it found its way to The News
office yesterday! The author is Fred
T. Loftin, warm admirer of w. ].
Bryan, who chances to live in Indian
apolis, the home of John w. Kern, the
vice presidential candidate on the
democratic ticket The verses are
bright and scintillate with catchy
thought, incident TO the many ques-
TONS Of the economics, now before
the American people. They are all
set to the music of some popular tune
and in reading them one finds himself
involuntariiy humming Rufus, Ras-
tus, Johnson Brown" Honey Boy"
Dixie America etc. One of the
brightest in the lot is song entitled
Foraker Joe, Set to the air of "Old
Black joe Its lines are as follows:
Gone am the days when my heart was
young and gay;
Gone am the troops from Brownsville
far away.
The big stick came down and the boys
were all dismissed.
On Uncle Sam they cannot now at all
- .subsist..- -. ..a
CHORUS.
We're coming we're coming;
But not for William Taft,
For when he heard the case, It's said,
| he only laughed
We're coming, we're coming, but not
for @. o, P.
For from the Bin Taft bosses now the
colored mans free
Soon, once again, will the politicians
| come
Telling the darkies the G. o. P. is
their home.
Foraker stood by the cause, but he
! was slow;
The roller went right over, smashing
| Poor Old joe"

The Scene Painters Retort.

The late Theodore Thomas was re-
hearsing the Chicago orchestra on the
stage Of the Auditorium theater. He
was disturbed by the whistling Of AL
bert Burridge, the well-known scene
painter, who was at work in the loft
above the stage. A few minutes later
Mr.. Thomas librarian appeared on the
bridge" where Mr.. Burridge, merrily
whistling, was at work. Mr. Thorn
as compliments" said the librarian.
and he requests me to state that II
Mr.. Burridge wishes to whistle he will
be glad to discontinue his rehearsal" :"
To which Mr.. Burridge replied,
suavely: "Mr. Burridge's compli-
ments to Mr.. Thomas; and please in
form Mr.. Thomas that, II Mr.. Burridge
cannot whistle with the orchestra, he
won't whistle at all."-The Argonaut.

LIVED INTO SECOND CENTURY
Many Gases on Record Of Truly Re-
markabIe Longevity.

For the deaths of three British CEN
tenarians to be chronicled on the same
day must surely be an almost unique
occurrence. The names and ages of
these veterans are: Mrs. Margaret
Pagan, 104; Samuel Goldstein, 1O6, and
Mrs. Honor Coleman, who died from
the effects Of fall at the reputed age
Of 107 years, thus recalling the similar
fate Of the famous Catherine, countess
Of Desmond, whose life of 14O years
was brought to tragic close by a fall
from cherry tree.
But the records prove conclusively
that Sir Moses Montefiore and Ad-
miral Provo Wallis lived into their Sec
ond century; that M. Conerbe, a
French farmer. survived his one hun
dred and twelfth birthday; that NJ
Soule, another Frenchman, died at 115;
that Rumanian, one Pascal Vicarn
lived 120 years, and that an Armenian
nun entered convent at Jerusalem at
II and never passed its threshold to
the day of her death, 9S years later.

OLD ROMAN WALL DIsFIGURED.
Relic Of Antiquity Sacrificed to Com
fort of Suburbanites.

A correspondent in Rome has taken
the first opportunity of looking into,
or rather through, the breach made
under municipal authority in the Aure-
lian wall. 1t has been made quite
frankly and candidly for the sake of
the new Roman suburbs. See what
1t is to set up suburbs to a walled
city! Rome is only partially walled,
of course, but this piece of rather late
antiquity-but still antiquity-the
great brown range Of brick was, for
a great space of the Pincian Hill, COM
plete. The three gates piercing 1t
were sufficient for the carts on their
way to and from the outer world OF
the Campagna- And one might have
thought that the few hundred yards
that the suburbanites had to walk or
drive in order to get in at one of those
historic gates were not too great a
tax to pay to history and archaeology.
But 1t was deemed too great, and the
wall is broken, not by a new gate, but
by mere cutting, which disfigures
as well as destroys.

Flrs. to Ascend the Mississippi.

1t was not until August, 1917, that
the General Pike" the first steamer
ever to ascend the Mississippi river
above the mouth Of the Ohio reached
st. Louis. No pictures and but scant
descriptions Of this pioneer craft are
obtainable at the present time. But
from old letters 1t is learned that she
was built on the model of a barge,
with her cabin situated on the lower
deck, SO that its top scarcely showed
above the bulwarks. She had a low
pressure engine which often was not
sufficient to stem the current; in such
a predicament the crew got out their
shoulder poles and pushed painfully
up stream. At night she tied up to
the nearest bank. Only one other
steamer reached St Louis during this
same year.

MADE LIVING FROM FEATHERS.
Maine Widow Evidently Endowed with
Good Business Instinct.

A clergyman's widow up in Maine
has supported herself and three chill
dren, sending two boys to college, by
converting feather beds into pillows.
Hunger and pride drove her to do
ing something, her great need arising
about the time the spring and mat
tress superseded the classic feather
bed. Maine, 1t appears, is. or was,
full of feather beds, the possession Of
a number Of them having once gauged
a family's social standing. And every
fluffy particle in those fat ticks was
plucked by hand from the breast of
a living goose, then washed in am
monia and soapsuds and dried in the
sunshine In muslin bags fiuttering in
the wind.
This woman has bought as many as
IL Of these fine pre-revolutionary beds
In one house, paying one dollar a
pound, having. of course, first tested
them. The beds weigh from 10 to Is
pounds. She sells the pillows for FIVE
dollars pair and has proved herself
very live business woman by MAX
ing from $40 to $50 week at times.

Fear Of Age.

Why do 30 many women regard age

CLOCK MADE FROM BICYCLES.
Really Remarkable TImepieee Put To-
gether by Partisan Mechanic.

Alphonse Duhamel Of Paris has con-
structed timepiece, standing IL feet
high, which is composed entirely of
bicycles or their component parts
The framework is a huge bicycle
wheel, around which are arranged 12
ordinary sized wheels, all fitted with
pneumatic tires. A rim within the
large wheel bears the figures for the
hours, the figures themselves being
constructed of crank-rods. The hands
are made of steel tubing, which is
used for the framework OF bicycles.
The minute strokes on the dial are
small nickelplated spokes. The top
Of the clock is an arrangement of 10
handle bars. The clock strikes the
hours and the quarters. bicycle bells,
Of course, making the chimes. The
pendulum Is made OF various parts Of
a bicycle frame. 1t is said that the
clock, besides being curiosity, is an
excellent timepiece. 1t adorns one Of
