THE OLD SONGS AND THE NEW,
Stephen Foster and Rsstime Music.

The modern ragtime music, so-call- ed, may be considered but temporary alteration. A few years ago the popular airs were taken from the light comic operas, or from the sketchy music of the vaudeville ar tist These have given way to vari- ations on the plaintive negro airs of the old south and will in turn lead to something else that happens to catch the popular fancy.
 But the simple songs of our fath- CTS, the beautiful music and the heart stirring words will again come into their own. And when they do the great American balladist, Stephen Eos ter, will be recognized as one, who perhaps more than any other, caught the spirit of his time and rendered it into music and words that vera sung by millions of his countrymen and women.
 Foster was born in Pittsburg, Pa, July 1, 1926, and received his educa- tion in the public schools. When only 16 years of age he wrote his first song, while clerking in a little store in Cincinnati. It was called Open the Lattice, Love-" and was soon fol lowed by Uncle Ned" which at once caught the popular ear and was sung all over the country.
 Then came 70, Susanna" popular with the minstrel troupes, and for which he received hundred dollars His "Old Folks at Home" was pub, lished in 1850, and brought him five 1 hundred dollars from the then famous 1 Christy minstrels. For copyrights oi this song he received, first and last nearly s15,0O0
 During his life Foster composed the words and music to about one hundred and thirty ballads, many oi which were translated and sung il foreign countries, and, which proved him to be by far the m0st popular o American song composers. He dieC in New York City in 1864, after ar 1 eventful career.

Canadian Pacific was one OF the
stronges, stocks on the list Al POS the
price was up ~ points from the low
last Saturday. That may not be much
OF a performance for Csnad an, but the
manner in which the advance occurred IL
worth noting. II was no spectacular move
such as IL often seen VIII temporar!
scarcity OF stock forces the price up by
wide fluctuations. The advance was con
Quoted gradually and quietly Quite a
little stock was taken on the advance,
about 800 shares changing hands late
yesterday at 20sN. bef IRE the ton was
made. Canadian Pacific has shown
great deal OF resistance around these
levels On three occasions. separated b,
intervals OF months. the stock has sol
down to a level around 20t and stopped
there This Is interesting perhaps because
the stock II decidedly unpopular In
speculative sense. Spectators who are
generally optimistic see nothing Illogical
In the position OF being long OF the genera
market and short OF Canadian at the same
time
