Some assert that the old reserve clause in
a players contract was illegal. Without entering
into an elaborate argument this subject, l

that without it the game cannot flourish. l hold,

happen to be fortunate to hit upon the
name that fits so perfectly with the rhythm of
the verse and with the sentiment of the music?
One day Foster entered his brother Morrison's
office in Pittsburgh He told him he had
song and wanted the name of Southern river
with two syllables to in it. His brother
suggested several names of Southern rivers with
two syllabes, but of them appealed to
Foster. Morrison then took down atlas from
a shelf and they both looked over a map of the
United States together. At last Morrisons fin
ger stopped at little river in Florida Foster
was delighted with his brothers discovery and
he hastily jotted down the piece of
paper he had in his hand, and read to his brother
the lines beginning sway down upon the Swanee
Ribber," which produced the melodious, flowing
effect that Foster seeking. The song has
surrounded with halo of sentiment the Swanee
River, with the result that most people who
it are disappointed, and the Swanee is best viewed
through the delicate mist of song.

FEW songs appeal as directly to the heart as
"Old Folks at Home" Its pathos brings
to vision of home and mother. The
potency of its appeal has made it that thing,
a popular song that survives.
Stephen Collins Foster wrote and composed
"Old Folks at Home" and other songs in all
about hundred and sixty. Many of them
have become genuine songs of the people, and
the most popular, "Old Folks at Home" has
been translated into nearly all European and
several Asiatic languages. Even during Fosters
lifetime his music thousands, perhaps
millions, of lips, and has since been re-echoed in
millions of hearts, but the people who sang his
songs, and especially this beautiful air, which is
justly given such high esteem passed the man
BY II has been said with justice that during the
last years of his life, which passed in New
York, the most familiar sounds he heard around
him we've strains of his own music, the least
familiar sight was a friends face. Now after
the way of the world and too late for it to
prosper him, he is recognized having pos
sessed positive genius for the invention of simple
yet tender and refined melody which has not
been without its influence in shaping the develop
ment of musical taste in this country The re-
finement and tenderness of Fosters melodc in
vention important factors, for sometimes
popular air is the starting point of the formation
of musical taste.
When Foster wrote "Old Folks at Home" he
penned it from the depths of longing heart, and,
while his songs not remarkable as poetry,
yet the words echo and the music re-echoes
timents that are at once touching and universal,
such as love of home, of mother, of wife, of
sweetheart, sentiments that appeal instantly to
the popular heart. All his songs melodious
and easy flowing. Probably not one person out of
thousand, if so many, had heard of the "Swanee
River" before Fosters "Old Folks at Home" was
published, and but for that song the stream would
doubtless be threading its way to the Gulf of
Mexico in obscurity. How did the composer

A Sweet Singer of Folk-Song

Obi take to my kind old mudder
Dere let me live and die
One little hut among de bushes
One dat love-
Still sadly to my mem'ry rushes,
No matter where l
When will I see de bees a-humming
All round de comb?
When will 1 hear de banjo cumming
Down in my good old home?
At about the time this song was written,
Christy, the famous negro minstrel, appearing
with his company in New York. requested that
Foster send him song with the right to
sing it before it was published. Foster consulted
his brother with reference to this request and
the latter drew up an agreement whereby the
minstrel undertook to pay FIVE hundred dollars
for the privileges he sought and dispatched it to
Christy, who Immediately returned it duly signed.
This explains why Christy's name appears on the
title page of the first edition of "Old Folks at
Home"
This song and the soul of it together make
simple direct appeal to the most universal senti-
ments in the human breast, and together with
Home, Sweet Home" probably the most
widely known songs in the English language
1t is a singular coincidence that both have long
ing for home their underlying sentiment
Stephen Collins Foster came of good family,
but, notwithstanding the bright prospects in
youth his life was full of vicisstudes His father
William Barclay Foster was general merchant
in Pittsburgh, from where he dispatched goods
on 1atboats down the Ohio and Mississippi
Rivers to New Orleans. About twice year he
made the trip himself, sometimes returning over
land, sometimes by vessel to New York. On
one of these voyages he was captured by pirates
off the coast of Cuba, but was liberated by
Spanish man-of-war. William Barclay Foster
was married in Chambersburg, Pa, in 1907 to
Eliza Clayland Tominson. The newly welded

PROPERTY LOSS AT FIRE

When a fire occurs in town, peo-
pie should try to remember that the
organized fire department has pre-
cedence over citizens and that no
one should go into adjoining build
ings to take out anything unless
called upon by the fire chief.
In the Handy fire, property was
wantonly destroyed by those who
evidently thought they were doing
the right thing and were helping,
But tearing out lighting plants,
water competitions, bath tubs, deors,
closets and windows ancompIishes
nothing but serious damage to the
homes adjoining burning building
What one should do at a fire
is to keep a cool head and help when
called on. The fire department is
fully competent to handle fire and
can call on others to help, if needed.
Fire lines must not be broken.
