A VERY ANCIENT TUNE.
1t Is Also Probably the Most Popular
One In the World.

1t Is Also Probably the host Popular
One In the World.
Perhaps the most firmly established
popular song in the world is the air ia
mi.iar TO Americans as We Won't Go
Home Til Morning" The origin of the
tune is obscure. but Louis Elson be-
lieves that the music was composed
as a love song in TIE tenth century or
earlier by one of the troubadours. the
wandering miuStreIS OF southern
France, Chateaubriand. the French
writer. heard il sung by the Arabs. and
he suggested that it might have been
carried TO the orient by the French cru
saders.
1t was certainly sung by the French
soldiers during the war in which the
first Duke of Marlborough won his
fame. 1t was the lullaby of the baby
eOH of Marie Antoinerte 1t became one
of the moSt popular songs of the
French revolution. Napoleon whistled
and sang it throughout his life. Beetho.
Battle symphony"
II has been for more than a century
one of the most popular street songs in
Europe. And there is probably not a
-ten-year-Old boy or girl in America who
does not know the tune.
The French words. beginning Mai.

ed by some forgotten French soldier
during the war of the Spanish success
sion. They describe the supposed death
and funeral OF the Duke of MarlbOr-
ough, which death. in the words OF
Father lrout. did not then take place
by some mistake since the subject OF
the pathetic e!e-y was at the time of It's
composition. both alive and kicking al

The song had nearly died ont in
France when Marie AntOinette caught

employed for her baby; thereupun i
spread rapidly. as songs do in France
BeaumarChaiS introduced it into The
Marriage Of Figaro" and it was USED
by the red republicans for iucendiary
purposes of their own.

LABOR sTRIKEs AND TRIALS.

LABOR STRIKES AND TRIALS.
In the world of labor the chief event
was the trial of more than forty union
officials at Indianapolis on dynamite
charges growing out of the Mcnamara
case. Clarence S. barrow was acquit-
ted on a charge of jury bribing in con
nectiOn with the same case. The strike
at Lawrence, Mass. resulted i'm the ar
rest of three labor leaders on a murder
charge. They We're acquitted. The an
thracite coal strike was ended by Il
compromise, and board Of arbitration
decided in favor of the engineers in
their fight with northeastern railroads.
Sporting features were the splendid

BY JAMES a. eoeERToN.

TFRE Is another year to be re.
viewed They are going by
with ever increasing frequen-
cy, like stations seen from an
express train. Why is 1t that Father
Time seems 90 sprint faster the older
we get? He should be arrested for
Overspeeding.
The chief events Of 1912 In the good
old u. S. A" were the presidential
campaign, the attempted assassination
OF Theodore Roosevelt and the Titanic
disaster. While in technical sense
the sinking OF the Titanic was more OF
a foreign than a domestic happening.
there were 80 many noted Americans
who lost their lives In the wreck that
we should have the melancholy priv
ilege OF claiming Il as our own.
The unusual features of the fight for
the presidency were the FIRST trial on
an extensive scale OF the preferential
primary. the Roosevelt candidacy. the
fierce precOnveutiou campaign in which
for the irst time I'm our history a presi-
dent OF the United States was driven
60 take the stump In his own defense.
the splitting OF the Republican party
and the orRanizatio OF the Progress
Eive party. the long and fierce fight I'm
the Democratic convention ending IN
the nomination OF Governor Woodrow
Wilson Of New Jersey. the death Of
Vice President sherman and the great
plurality given Wilson at the polls.
IL was some time after the announce
ment OF Colonel Roosevelt that my
hat is in the ring" ere the tide began
10 show In his favor. He had pre-
viously said that he would not again
be a candidate. and the denomination
Of President Taft was taken as a mat
ter Of course States having the old
convention system still continued for
Taft. but most OF the primary states
began swinging into line for Roosevelt
Illinois and Pennsylvania going with
rush that made the politicians gasp.
TAFT WINS AND LOSES.
Roosevelt was on the stump through
out this struggle. and Mr.. Taft now
followed him. The two cRmpaigned
Massachusetts. Maryland and Ohio.
MASSACHUSETTS and Maryland were
close. Taft carrying one and Roosevelt
the other. hut Ohio gave a large plural
hty to the colonel.
The Republican convention was pre-
ceded by an acrimonious struggle in
the national committee over contested
seats Roosevelt and his friends
charged fraud aud theft. and the for
mer president went 20 Chicago in per
son. In the convention Taft and Sher
man were renominated by slim ma
jority. while the coIoneI's followers re
fused 20 VOTE. Later they organized
the Progressive party aud held ma
tion.S convention I'm Chicago. which
nominated Colonel Roosevelt for pres
ident aud Governor Hiram W. John
son OF California for vice president
This launching Of the long expecteI
new party alone makes 1912 historic.

tion was almost as fierce. Champ Clarl
