first real piece Of change yes

his writings" said the Manicure Lady.
He used TO come home with a five
dollar check once in a while that he
got from the editor Of the Flour and
Feed Gazette or the Monitor. but yes
terday he came home and flashed a
hundred-dollar note that he had just
got for song Of which he wrote the
words Of Even father warmed Up to
the poor boy when he seen the yellow
c in Wilfred's trembling mitt., and YOU

WAS it a ragtime song?" asked the
Head Barber 1T must be. though.
That's the only kind Of songs that are
getting the dough now"
mo, t amt a ragtime song" replied
the Manicure Lady. It's a sad ballad.
George I was sure that it was going
to be liked the minute Wilfred showed
II to me. before he showed II to any
body else. I wish he hadn't made it
quite so sad. though. Goodness knows
there is enough weeping in this world
without making up new songs with
sobs in them. still, / suppose what the
public wants nowadays is extremes in
songs. either something so comic that
fl would make a snail smoker or some
thing sad and pensive like dreary rain
falling on sweeping willows. That's the
kind Of a song Wilfred has wrote.
George and III bet you that when it
is sang with slides the folks will take
on something terrible. This is the way
IL goes. wish could remember the
tune. but II sounds something like this:
