FANNY CROSBY.

March 10 is the birthday anniver-
sary Of the hymn writer, Mrs. F. j.
Van Alstyne, Familiarity known as
Fanny Crosby. She was blind nearly
all her life, having lost her sight at
the age of six. Her education was
a thorough one and was completed at
the New York Institution for the
Blind, where she afterward taught
for some years. She married a blind
man who had also been a student
there, and he wrote the music for
some of her hymns.
From a child, hymns made a deep
impression on her. She used to won
der who made them and if she could
ever write such as could be sung
She had a wonderful dream at one
time of being taken almost to heav-
en-. When she asked her guide if she
might not go on, he answered: mot
now Fanny. You must return to the
earth to do your work there before
you enter these sacred bounds, but
ere you go l will have the gates open
ed a little SO you can hear one burst
of eternal music" The very recol-
lection Of those chords of music, be-
yond anything she ever heard on
earth, thrilled her always, and in
spired her in the writing of her
hymns.
She was forty-four years old when
she composed her first hymn, but
became, in the remaining years Of
her life, a most prolific writer, hav-
ing more than five thousand hymns
to her credit. Rescue the Perish
ing" is perhaps one of the best known
Of her compositions. She wrote it
after attending a meeting at which
prodigals were present. Later, when
the author was present at another
such gathering where this hymn was
sung, young man arose and told
the story of his wanderings. He said
that when hungry and penniless he
had strayed into a mission service
where he caught the words of this
song. Il was just ready to perish, !"
he said. "but by the grace Of God
that hymn saved me-"
."Safe in the Arms of Jesus" was
written at therequest ofW H. Doane,
who had composed the melody and
had no words for it. She intended
it for children's hymn, but it has
become a favorite at funerals. The
tune, being in slow time, is often
used by brass bands as appropriate
for marching in military funerals. 1t
was played at the funeral of ex-Presi-
dent Grant, and also when the re-
mains of President Garfield were car
died from the Capitol at Washing
ton.
Fanny Crosby and Frances Ridley
Havergal were warm friends and
their hymns are similar. Mrs. Van
Alstyne's own favorite was, Saviour,
More Than Life to Me-" Though
most of her compositions were sa-
cred, there are a few well-known
songs of a secular nature from her
pen. Resale, the Prairie Flower y
Hazel DELL" Music in the Air, y
| and Never Forget the Dear Ones, y
are the best known.
Will Carleton, in whose Brooklyn
home she was living on her eightieth
birthday, wrote a poem concerning
her. Two stanzas are as follows:
| But when at last the King
| Shall bid thy friends above to cease thei
| waiting.
| The angel choirs will sing
To welcome thee, some hymn Of thy ere
| ating.
| And Christ will be thy guide.

UNsELFISH PATRIOTS.


The second annual banquet of stht
Dallas Commercial club last Tuesday
night was an enjoyable affair, ant
highly pleasing to those who attended
and while there was good attend
ance, it was far short iof what il
might have been. There is no reason
why any citizen of Dallas -shouldsnoi
make it point to be present on oc-
casions of this kind, and there is nc
just excuse which should keep him
away unless it be some unavoidable
circumstance. But there is more be-
hind this lack of attendancelthan APP
pears onsthe surface, we fear; and it
is. not creditable to those who are re-
sponsible for it. The committee that
had charge of the affair exerted them
selevs to dispose Of the tickets. They
generally were met by prompts re-
sponses, but there were those whom
they interviewed who appeared to
have sort of repugnance for the club
and refused to patronize the banquet.
This banquet was entirely an indiyid-
ual affair so. fan as the club was con-
cerned. Neither the club; nor sim
gle member; made cent, or expected
4 to make cent out of the affair, and
when the committee gave their time
and their energies to dispose of the
tickets they did so merely. because
they wanted to see the affair sue
cess-that IS all.
1T is said that some individuals who
were asked to purchase tickets, re-
fused point blank and referred to the
club as ga hot air organization" and
they would. have nothing to do with
it. The authors ofathat charge dem
frustrated their narrow-mindednessI
and utter lack of public spirit, when
they made it. The Dallas Commercial
club may not be all that some people
would wish; in fact, it may not en-
compass all the virtuesAthat its men,
bers desire, yet the fault, if fault
there be, must be charged rather to
the brains than to the hearts of its
membership. The time has long since
passed when the commercial club is
looked upon as an experiment. In
this day of progress every live and
progressive community has a com
mercial organization of some kind,
and it is fact that thesmore. wide
awake and active the club, the more
progressive is the community which
itsrepresents. It is easy for people TO
find fault with any organization and
try to beliftle its efforts and ascribe
to the members, unjust motives. Yet
when they take this course, refusing
to affiliate with it because Of some
fancied personal grievance against
some of the members, or for any
other personal reason, they are doing
vastly more to hinder the growth Of
the community than the open knocker.
The primary object Of a commercial
is to promote the
growth of the community. To induce

This safe is girt on every side with
a lining Of chrome steel. In the corri-

FEARS Ago Prevents Appropriations

Madison. Forest reserve plans re-
ceived a body blow when an opinion
from Attorney General w. C. Owen
put stop to further progress along
that line for the present There is
a prospect that water power legis-
lation will be affected. There was
first fear that highway legislation
.would suffer but the attorney gen
aral held that aid of higgways was
not interferred with.
The opinion was given III answer
to request from Senator Scott,
chairman OF the finance committee,
when the committee was considering
a Joint resolution introduced by Sen
ator Husting. providing for the APP
preparation of moneys for water
powers and forest reserve. The reso-
luton provided that no amount ex-
ceeding two-tenths of a mill of the
taxable property OF the state should
be appropriated in any one year.
The attorney general held that the
failure of the legislature Of 1909 to
take a vote by yeas and nays vitiated
the whole proceedings by which the
amendment permitting appropria-
tons for acquiring and preserving
water powers and forests was
adopted.
Believing the amendment has been
properly passed, the legislature of
1911 appropriated $50, 900 year for
five years for the purchase Of forest
reserve lands. This appropriation
will be tied up. The attorney general
in his opinion suggests that no
moneys should be appropriated, au-
dited or paid under the attempted
amendment A copy of the opinion
was sent to State Treasurer Henry
Johnson.
