Some of Our Most Famous
Ballads Found Their Being
Under Most Humble and
Obscure Circumstances.

IA the July issue OF Everybody's
magazine, is an article by Brander
Matthews on war songs. He says
mat war has a blighting influenza on
the arts because it destroys the pros
perity of the people and deprives
them of the leisure and calm in which
srt best thriyes. To this he attri-
butes the fact that almost none of
the war songs have any merit in a
literary way, the words are cheap and
the tunes are borrowed in almost ev-
ery case. "They are tinkling trivial
ties, inferior both in words and in
music, that they live is due to the
time Of their appearance and because
IN way they become a part Of the
history OF the war. Yankee Doodle
Is our only legacy of the revolution
ery war The tune was borrowed
from the 'Beggars Opera" and had
long been popular in Great Britain
The Star Spangled Banner was the
song of the war of 1912 and its tune
also was borrowed from England.
In the four long years of the civil
war many songs came into existance
which are still sung and loved here
m America. Among them, When
Johnny Comes Marching Home,
ramp, Tramp, Tramp, the Boys are
Xrching and Marching Through
Georgia, the latter "the most ringing
md swinging song of the civil war"
Brander Matthews says the might
lest of all our war songs is John
Browns Body and Julia Ward Howe's
Battle Hymn of the Republic.
The origin Of "John Browns Body"
Is obscure. 1t is more like a negro
spiritual or like the folk song of

primitive people than ANYTHING else.
It's tune has been traced back to an
lmprov1sed camp meeting tune, which
was ntted In 1860 to campaign song
dur1ng the period before Lincoln 8
election as president. When the war
broke out it appeared in a Massachu-
sets regiment and from that spread
rapidly over the union This song
was invariably sung by the soldiers
at the moment of victory after hard
battle. Carl Schurz recalls its being
sung wierdly over the bloody field at
Gettysburg. In the armies Of the
south the soldiers sang Lorena, love
song, much more than they did
Dixie or Maryland, My Maryland. 1t
had dismal, doleful strain but they
loved 1t for some reason or another
all their own.
We think, however, OF Dixie as the
typical confederate war song. 1t was
improvised in 1850 by Dan Emmett
as a walk around" to end the first
part Of minstrel show. When the
war broke out it became popular and
continued to be used throughout the
war When the union soldiers cap
tured Richmond after four years Of
hard fighting, Lincoln ordered the
bands to play Dixie. Today it always
gets a strong hand clap in the north
as well as in the south.
The Girl I Left Behind Me. which
was sung in both the north and south
is a song used for years in England
and is said to have been one of the
greatest aids in recruiting soldiers for
the British empire. No one will ever
be able to understand why "Thereu
be a Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" should have been the song OF
tie brief Spanish American war, it
is irrelevent to everything connected
with the war. "Tipperary' is the
cheapest kind of clap trap but it will
remain a memory of the present
world war. Whether the boys on the
Mexican border will evolve a song re-
mains to be seen. No song character
lied the former war with Mexico. :.

Go forward to the fray.
Let every ship be manned at once,

And yet with all your warlike stunts.
Why don't you go enlist?

Are drilled and primed to go,

Fear not your lives to give,
No soldier is afraid to die"
Altho' you seem to live.
Don't tell us you have home affairs,
From which you would be missed,
Nor plead that urgent business cares
Are why you don't enlist;
Don't say that you're a. bit too old,
Too heavy or too light.
The trouble is-your feet Get cold
When there's a scrap in sight.
You never fail to boast and brag
OF deeds your dads have done,
And you can cheer and wave your

But can you fire a gun?

Is sure to come-you bet,

officers had the glory OF staggering
up the stairs and into the school room
with their trusty swords buckled on.
These were usually removed with a
great clatter and clank of metal and
laid on chair at the front OF the
room near the teachers desk.
For time drills were conducted
In the school yard only. Those were
the days when high board fences sep
arated the boys yard from the girls
and the feminine side Of that border
was usually quite we'll populated dur
ing drill. For even at ten and twelve,
the uniform proved quite as attractive
as at sixteen and twenty. Frequently

tain one of the fair sex hanging there
over the fence, spurred one on 10

place of the regular Company A then

creed by the powers that be that the
drill at recess could consist OF jour
ney around the block outside or the
school yards. And then 1t was sure

War and Then Peace.
Just before Memorial day someone
conceived the idea of having the
school troops march in the procession
and some one else initiated contest
for three flags to be given to the
school which was the best drilled.
This incentive allowed several after
noon drills in Rand park and then
came the eventful day when as es.
corts to the old soldiers, the school
troops made their way to the GENE
terry.
A night or two after that the flags
were presented and turned over to
the school by the company the next
morning. School days were then
+, drawing to a close and swords were
displaced by kitchen knives and the
energies which had been expended
previously in asaulting well In
trenched Spanish positions, were ex.
pended in digging dandelions and
plantains out of the yard. BY fall
peace had been restored and like all
good soldiers we turned our atten-
ton to more peaceful pursuits such
as singing patriotic songs and being
a part of q star or a stripe in the lfv-
ing flag which was given In the old
