7 JULY SONGS-By Fra,,k C. Carpenter

this day The music and words of Ana cTeon" were current in England during the revolutionary war, and the song it. self was published in number of Amer ican music books along about the first of the last century and thereafter, so that it was commonly known in our country. The music of "Anacreon'' was adapted to different popular songs, and it can be traced through a dozen or mora. beginning with 1797 and ending with 1913. The form and meter is practically the same as that of '"rhe Star Spangled Banner" I give the first verse: ITO Anacreon in heaven, where he sat in
 full glee,
 few sons of Harmony sent a petition That he their inspirer and patron
 would be.
 When this answer arrived from the
 jolly old Grecian;
 'Voice. fiddle and flute No longer be mute,
 I'll lend ye my name. and inspire ye to
 boot: rsN And, besides, I'll instruct you, like me. to
 entwine
 The myrtle of Venus with Bacchus'
 vine. ~
 The song was published as a broad side in September. 1874, and it appeared after that in many song books, although 1t was not generally looked upon as . national air for some years thereafter.

weeks Harris followed him Harris was red of face and rather frightened when, after being in Pierson's office a few minutes, he put on his hat and coat and departed. Croweli did not last long either. Then Peters was discharged Lamar was the last of the lot to go Pierson was sorry to see him leave. for Lamar, of the entire old outfit, was the only one who showed real capacity and an earnest desire to work for the best interests of the company, but Pierson had reason to believe Lamar was too close to some of the old crowd to be faithful to him.
 Pierson had done wonders In the six months since he had assumed absolute control. From a deficit of about s1S0O a month he had come around to an even sheet, He was not making any money, but he was not losing any He had man. aged to pay mortgage interest on the fac tory, clear up some small obligations, such as notes Dover had outstanding. and gradually was getting around him men of the class and kind he needed It prob ably would be a long. hard fight, but he had made progress. In making progress, however he had made a lot of enemies. Under the old order of things Lempitt, Harris, Crowell. Peters and Lamar were jealous of each other or formed little clques. All were bitter against Dover because had had their money, and they had little chance of recovering It. Now that all of them were out-bounced by the usurper Pierson-they forgot their feeling against Dover and against each other and made common cause against Pierson. According to their view P1ersonj had wronged them cruelty. The fact that he had found them useless and dismissed them added to the injury. Nothing they could do to hurt him therefore was con sidered unjust.
 Pierson was not long in ignorance of the methods they were employing. By a bank CT to whom he applied for short term loan he was asked the blunt question as to whether the company was not bank rupt. Pierson told him the facts and then learned that his former associates had spread the idea of impending bank rrptcy and had made it appear as If the condition was due to- Persons conduct. AS Pierson was a newcomer compara- lively, and the others residents of longer standing this would have hurt had their regulations been of the highest, but bankers have a faculty for getting a gauge on men and some of them knew little regarding Harris and Lempite that was not wholly to their credit. Pier son got his loan and a few days later was summoned to the bank again. This time he had long interview with the banker and seemed happier and more chipper when he was leaving than he had been for many months.
 It was not long after the visit to the bankers that Lempitt visited Pierson' s office The call was official. He desired to see the books of the Dover-Harrls Speciality company. MT. Pierson said he was pleased to have Mir. Lemptt call, but Mir Lempitt could not see the books.

est. he had gone to a business investiga
 tor, a sort of Pinkerton, who makes
 speciality of business cases, and engaged several detectives, one of whom, rather
 aged and of fine appearance, posed as
 a capitalist from the east. The capi-
 talist had been thinking of investing in the Dover arris company, MT. Pier
 son having urged the thing on him. but
 some one had informed the man from the east that it would be well for him
 first to consult MT. Lempitt and the
 other gentlemen. They knew a lot about the company.
 From the report of the capitalist from the east and the reports of other de- tectives who talked with the others II appeared that MT. I.empitt and his asso- ciates in their eagerness to not let the S100. 900 the gentleman from the east

Harris and Carroll had tried to practice deception. Somehow the others felt mora soreness against these two than against Pierson and the detectives. AS to their stock in the company, it was like so much waste paper.
 Lamar was not one of the lot to 70 away whipped and beaten. He had known something of what the others planned. but refused to have anything to do with them He assured Pierson of this fact, and Pierson shaking his hand, told him he knew the statement was correct, for it was in consonance with the reports of the investigators.
 It was a week after this meeting that Pierson sent for Lamar and laid propo- stion before him.
 I'm willing" said he "to buy the shares of those men. If you can get them at 20 cents on the dollar I'll take them and pay you literally for your time''
 Lamar took the commission, and in due season managed to get every share. The men were willing enough to sell
 One thing that puzzled Lamar was where Pierson got the money to pay cash for the shares he bought. so he , asked
 ''I tell you." said Pierson. You know Dover hypothecated all his stock When the banker found Dover was cneat and the company was ruin he charged the loan to profit and loss and tried to forget the affair But he could not One day he sent for me and asked me if l thought I could get the company on it's feet if had a good working cap ital I told him there was no doub- of it.

Perfectly true" MT. Pierson replied, but you cannot see them'
 why not?" asked Lempitt.
 "Because," said Pierson, "I will not let you.'
 Lempitt had expected no such answer and, losing his temper. announced he in tended to apply for a receivership in- stantly as Pierson was trying to make away with the companys assets.
 Pierson assured I,empitt that if the re- mark insinuatins a dishonest motive to him was repeated Lempitt would be thrown down stairs. Then he told Lem pitt there would be no, receivership in stantly or later, because persons like I.empitt, who take lot and threaten a lot, do not act. They are like barking dogs. The quiet ones bite.
 Lempitt went away fuming, and the next day Pierson got a letter from law yer representing Lempitt announcing he had been retained and setting forth de- mand on his clients part to see the books, as was his legal right, etc.
 Pierson forwarded the letter to his law yer with a request to answer it in such way as to keep the matter open and then to drag out the correspondence for 8. month. never quite agreeing and never quite disagreeing with the other side.
 At the end of the month Lempitts law yer was requested to have his client call at the office of the Dover-Harrfs Special ty company. MT. Harris, MT. Croweli, MT Peters, Mir. Lamar and MT. Dover also were asked to attend All were on hand except MT. Dover. It was under stood by all that MT. Pierson had come 10 the end of his resources and his qulb- bling and was going to submit to an ex- animation of the books rather than have bankruptcy forced on him.
 MT. Pierson opened with resume of the story of how he was brought into the company, how he had been bunkoed by Dover, how he had laid the whole case before his associates, how they had been cast out for incompetency and how they now threatened to destroy the company.
 MT Lempitt says he wants to see the books" said Pierson. 'I refuse to permit. I refuse to permit any of you. although you are stockholders. I make one excep- tion I will permit Mir. Lamar Tor tlIs-k he Is an honest man.
