STORY OF A FAMOUS SONG,
A DISMAL, Rainy Day Moved Dan EN-.
met to Write "Djxje,"

= o'sma'' Rainy Day Moved Dan En-.
met to Write "Dixie,"
O14le' was written by Dan Emmett,
oo'n words and music. It was sung
TOT the first time Monday, Sept. 10,
1Soe' on the stage Of Bryant's minstrels
at az Broadway, New York. There
oas oeen much controversy over the
question of authorship and over the
music. The known history of the song
nas been carefully compiled by Gus.
tav kobbe in his Famous American
Songs" as follows:
"On Saturday night Sept IT, 1880
after the performance one of the Bry.
ants told Emmett that a new walk
around was wanted In time for re-.
hearsal on Monday. The minstrel re-.
piled that, while the time was yery
snort he would do his best. That
night after he reached home he tried
10 nit upon some tune, but the music
wouldn't come. His wife cheerily told
him to wait until morning. He should
have the room to himself 80 that he
could work undisturbed, and when he
had finished the walk around he could
play 1t for her as a sole audience, II
she liked it the Bryants would and 80
would the average listener.
Next day was rainy and dismal.
Some years before Emmett had Travelled
with circus as drummer. In winter
the warm southern circuit was a popu.
lar route with circus people, and those
who were obliged to show north would
say when the cold weather would make
them shiver, 4 wish I was In Dixie
The phrase was, in fact, a current cir
Gus expression. On that dismal Sep.
tember day, probably the beginning Of
the equinoctial, when Emmett stepped
to the window and looked out the old
longing for the pleasant south came
over him, and involuntarily he thought
to himself, I wish was In Dixie
Like flash the thought suggested
the first line for walk around, and a
little later the minstrel, fiddle in hand,
was working out the melody which,
coupled with the words, made Dixie a
genuine song Of the people almost from
the instant it was first sung"

LIST AND HIS CIGARS.
Why tho Great Musician Said He

Why Tho Great Musician Said Hs
Would Quit Smoking.
Liszt was in the habit Of smoking
one cigar day. But that one cigar
was an exceedingly choice one. When
he was starting on Journey he told
his valet how many days he would be
away, and his valet put into the valise
a corresponding number Of those Ct.
gars.
Once when Liszt was going to Italy
the chief customs officer at the frontier
post Of Chiasso asked him If he had
anything to declare. The musician,
with his thoughts centered on his mu-
sic rather than his cigars, made signs
to the effect that he had nothing. Tho
officer opened the valise without the
traveller agitating himself over the
search. Presently a number Of cigars
were brought to light. The whole lot
was confiscated, and he was ordered to
pay fine Of 500.
When List reached Milan he told his
agent Of his unpleasant adventure RI
cordi laughed at the whole affair. took
a stroll to the Italian treasury and re-
covered the cigars and the fine On
