All day long the sheep roam over the
grassy slopes Of Franklin Park and

carpet. At 3 o'clock in the afternoon
they are hustled together by the dogs
and driven back TO the fold.
At the present time the flock numbers

yesrlngs. Included are two yearling
rams

backs OF the sheep.
Shepherd Sweeney has worked for the
park department for twenty-five years.

with the sheep Throughout the sum-
mer it is his duty TO see that the grass
on the broad sweeps Of meadow in the
park over which the public plays golf
Is kept short and velvety. This IS the
particular business Of his lawn now

work. which TO them is undoubtedly a
labor of love.
The dogs, Prince and Clyde. play a
very important part in the care Of the
sheep; in fact. it would be almost i'm
possible to handle the flock without
them.

The Sound OF the Drum" by
Robert Burns. VIII practically be
unrecognized by the readers to-day.
for Il seems 20 have entirely passed
out OF print for q number Of years.
and yet during the early par Of the
nineteenth century IL was one Of
the most popular songs OF that
period. II was a great favorite with
Gen. washington. Alexander Ham

good singing voice, and was fire.

prominent social and political gath
erings. used invariably 20 sing The
Sound OF the Drum" and when he
would not do so OF his own accord,
he would be asked for It,
The Sound Of the Drum IS from
Burns cantata The Jolly Beggars.'
il was FIRST given 10 the world, with
other characteristic pieces. by Mr..
Stewart. Of Glasgow. in the year 1901.
Only one copy in the handwriting OF
Burns is known 10 exist and this
copy is exactly as printed above.
This song was very popular with
the ladies Of the Highland regi-
ments during the PeninsUlar and
Waterloo campaigns.
Burns composed The jolly Beg
CARS" in 1855. At that time one
Poosie Nansie kept a public house
in Mauchline. which was nightly
frequented by all the vaErant fra
tcrnity OF the town. Burns. passing
the house one night. was attracted
by the sound Of mi-,h and revel-y
from the interior, and on entering
was cordially welcomed by the mot
ley tavern crew 10 their hilarious
orgies. These he highly depicted. or
rather idealized In verse IN The
Jolly Beggars-" The songs OF his
play were az once caught up by
the people and chanted everywhere
The air 90 which the words OF the
The Drum" were adapted by the
poet was that Of an old marching
song long a favorite with the Brit

NEGRO CADDIES DOWN SOUTH
Obliging and Cheerful Helpers the
Visiting Golfer Finds Them.

From the New York Sun.
The winter resort golf player meets
a refreshing novelty in the negro caddy.
Sometimes the boy" is a grizzled Old
fellow rising fifty. who totes the bag Of
clubs about with the alacrity OF youth.
The caddies come IN all sizes from six
feet OF more with the muscular build
Of prize fighter down 10 lads Just about
able to handle the bag; but no matter
what his age or size, the negro caddy has
infinite ability TO be cheerful He doesn't
adopt the somewhat cynical manner OF
the white caddy, and his manners ara
better.
For another thing the black lad ordl-
narily has the eye Of a hawk and traces
the balls with marvellous sureness. One
caddy said he hadn't lost a ball in the
two years he had been caddying, which
is a remarkable record.
The negro caddy comes into his work
with an amiable idea that he is the part
ner Of HIS employer. The ball is ours"
Whose ball is that near the pin?" asks
the golfer. That's ours, sir" the cadGy
says
When the golfer gets of a good long
ball from the tee, the caddy does a lot OF
quiet roofing ride on. ball, ride on
he calls, much as IL he were rolling
the bones and roofing for his number
10 come up. He does his best 10 coax
the ball into the cup too. in much the
same way. but his sense Of etiquette IS
too strong to permit him 10 make any
noise while the play is actually be.ns
made.
No matter how much Of a dub he
mas for a boss at the time. he doesn't
sneer or say anything impertinent. which
Is a renef to the player from UP North,
who knows the unpleasant habits or
some Of the white caddies. The only
bad habit the boy has is to gamble
on the result of the match he's accom-
panying. II can be seen what test OF
cheerfulness it is for him when his player

hole and SO throws away the bet

sides. danced and fought 20 the
music Of these fine old songs. So
was the stirring Ballad Of the
Drum" a chosen dirty with the
rank and file of the British forces
serving under the Duke Of yelling
ton. The tune Of The Soldiers Joy"
was no doubt sung by both redcOats
and COntinentsIs upon the eve OF
the battles Monmouth. Trenton, and
Brandywine, and IN that way # was
heard by Alexander Hamilton with
in both hostile camps.
On the 18th OF July, in 1904. Gen.
Hamilton sang The Sound OF the
Drum" for the last time at the an
nual banquet Of the Society of the
Cincinnati. in New York. Upon that
memorable occasion Hamilton and
Aaron Burr met face 10 face for the
last time but one. Hamilton was
the honored president and Burr an
eminent member.
Gen. Hamilton was observed 70
be cheerful and even merry. As the
evening wore away he was pressed
20 sing his usual song. THE Sound
or the Drum" Il was noticed that
Hamilton seemed less ready than
common 10 comply with the request
Of the guests. but after some urg-
ing. he made answer. We'll. YOU
shall have IT, If you wish" He
then sang the ballad in his best
style. 10 the delight OF the old Con-
tinentals who made up The festive
company.
Col Burr. on the contrary. was
hauEhtily reserved. mingled but lit
tie with his friends. and appeared
10 shun all intercourse with the
president Of the society. II was also
remembered afterward. and has
been credibly handed down. that.
when Hamilton began 10 sing. Burr
turned directly toward him. with
one arm resting on the supper table.
and gazed intentIy at the singer. as
though buried in profound thought
or immersed In a fit Of deep abst-ac-
ton He remained thus Immovable
until the ballad was ended. Little
did those present suspect the deadly
import Of that look Hamilton paid
no attention 20 Burr's stony stare.
but rendered his song with perfect
composure and careful expression.
It would be curious 10 guess what
was passing through Burr's mind
while his familiar comrade In the
fellowship Of camp and battle was
thus employed IN contributing his
efforts TO the convivialities Of the
evening. Did the red wine in the
social glass assume a deeper dye in
the eyes Of the iron colonel and
bring before his mind the tragic
possibilities Of the even then pro-
Jected duel? And had the genial
Hamilton any premonition Of his
own impending fate?
Alexander Hamilton and Aaron
Burr met IN a duel on the rocky
heights Of the Hudson at Weehawk-
en- on July II, 1904, just one week
after this banquet. and Hamilton
was fatally wounded. shot through
the body by his antagonist.
