Nations Lawmakers Pay Tribute -
Amsrica's Prominent Bards.
A group of senators had gathered
In the committee room. 1t had been
a hard day. in which there had been
incessant study of schedules. inter-
spersed with wrangles over technical
points, that had been wearisome. In
the midst of the silence and gloom
some one started to hum an old song,
half-forgotten by many present. Then
others began to sing or whistle famil-
lar airs, and tell incidents Of interest
and moment connected with those
songs that had been turning points in
their own lives. Finally it was agreed
among the small body of senators that,
after summary was made OF the
songs of the country, two names stood
out prominently in American music
John Howard Payne, whose remains
were brought back to Washington from
foreign soil by a grateful republic, and
Stephen c. Foster, says Joe Mitchell
Chapple in the National Magazine.
The many melodies connected with
those two names will live long in the
hearts of the people. 1t was suggest
ed that the remains of Stephen c.
Foster ought also to be brought to
Washington ond rest beside those of
John Howard Payne in Oakhill Gene
terry.
1t is singular thing that the i'm
mortal song, Home, Sweet Home,
should have been written by an Amer
lean, and yet was sung first on foreign
soil in 1923. 1t was Jenny Lind who
immortalized this song in Washington.
The lawmakers of the nation stood
there in the twilight and paid trib-
ute to these two great song writer's
which was certainly indicative of the
power of music over the human heart.
It was agreed that the songs of Ste
phen C. Foster, the Pennsylvania bal
ladist, which have been translated into
every language under heaven, and
have touched the hearts of human be-
ings of every race and cline, have i'm
mortalized their writer. The senators
agreed that this sweet minstrel of the
United States ought to have a monu-
ment such as would be worthy OF one
who had left so deep an impress upon
the worlds history.

Last year about four million boxes
OF grapefruit were consumed in this
country. although no longer than ff-
teen years ago this popular breakfast
table delicacy was without commercial
value and had no place upon the
American bill of fare. Florida and
California are the sources of a large
part of the supply, and it is also cul-
tivated to great extent in Jamaica
and the Isle of Pines. The grapefruit,
or pomelo, with other. members of the
Citrus family, was brought to Florida
by the Spaniards about four centuries
ago. 1t grows in great yellow punches
upon trees that attain height of
thirty feet.

claimed that Black Hawk and Dubu.

Third congressional district which
will show a gain in the federal cen
sus. Delaware, Buchanan, Wright,
Franklin, Hardin, Butler and Bre-
mer all run behind. This authority
says that this experience will be gen.
eral over the state, that while the cit
les and towns have gained the coun-
try districts have lost on account OF
the young farmers going to the new
sections where land is cheaper. 1t Is
claimed that Iowa will have a lost
capitalization as compared to ten
years ago, and that its representation
in congress may be affected. The
Third district will be able to show by
the census 225,000, and so will most
of the others, but it is said that the
three districts in the western part OF
the state are causing apprehension
and that the prospects are they will
have to be redistricted and even then
1t may be impossible to make the dis.
trict show so as to hold the present
number of members in congress!
