TROUBLES OF COMPOSERS.
"Honey Boy" Evans Hawked "Good
Old Summer Time" on Streets.

From the louisville Courier-Journal.
The writer of popular songs occupies
pretty much the same position as the
writer of dramatic or musical plays, says
George Evans. He is just as much at the
mercy of the song publisher as the latter
is at the mercy of the producing man
ager. Many big selling song has gone
begging among the publishers just as the
play which has been refused by half a
hundred managers at last finds one who
is willing to produce 1t.
The song publishers are wise and learn
ed gentlemen, but sometimes they make
mistakes. I took 1.-THE Good Old Sum-
mer Time to three publishers who re-
fused 1t. Then l found one willing to
take chances, and 1t became great sue
cess. "Oh, WELL" said the first three.
the song is all right enough, but that
isn't what the public wants just now"
and then they would give their ideas of
what the public really did want.
And the funny thing about 1t Is when
somebody does bring out a song that
pleases the public fancy all the others
look for songs just like it. All this learn
ed talk about analysing the public taste
doesn't amount to a row of pins. The
public wants what II wants, and you can
never tell what 1t wants until you try.
The song itself-that's what counts One
class of songs may include a few that
the public wants; then some people say
that that class is the only class, but a
good song of different class will come
along and upset all calculations The
idea is that each song is popular on its
own account. whether 1t belongs to class
or not.
A writer of popular songs gets his ideas
BY accident, not because he looks for
them and then other ideas come along,
just like work, sleep, breakfast and train
time, and after awhile the song Is I'm
ished. I've told the story SO often of

with the lamp on 1t, and his senses
slowly returned the awakened sleeper
remembered that the glass jar also had
fallen to the floor and the snake must
now be loose.
Obviously the best thing to do was to
jump on the bed and shout for help and
light. But the hut was empty, and no
help came. He could not spend the night
standing on a bed roaring for help, so,
as there was only a space of about s
feet between him and the other door he
jumped down from the bed, resolved to
make a rush for 1t. He had taken his
boots off at an early part of the evening,
and. as he jumped he felt a sharp, vi
cious nip in the heel of his right foot.
He was @ person with plenty of cool
presence of mind. A servant entered the
hut at tho moment; he summoned him.

became apparent. The snake was curled
up In a far corner of the room. swaying
and kissing angrfly. The collector had
jumped off the bed onto u piece of the
broken glass with which the floor OF his
room was strewn.
