AT that time there lived in Balti-
more the famous Cary girls, relatives
OF General Lee. They. too, were ar
dent southerners. One evening they
were giving party, and wishing to
spring a new song on their guests
they discovered that the words of this
poem, Maryland, My Maryland"
which every one was reading and re-
citing at that time, could be perfectly
adapted 10 the old college song, "Lau-
riger Horatius." So one of them sang
it at the party and it made a tremend-
Gus hit.
Some time later she and her sisters
asked permission to E-ake a visit to
relatives in Virginia. 1t was granted
and they made the journey in an old
wagon. which was loaded to the top
with trunks and boxes, supposedly
containing their wardrobe. AS soon
as they had crossed the line it was
discovered that they were all filled
with clothing, bandages and other
comforts for the Confederate soldiers,
and they were not permitted to return
10 Baltimore, as a punishment. While
they were living there in Virginia. in
exile. as it were. General Beauregard

TO get nucleus of an idea, a phrase
that the members of the troupe had
used SO often on their tour through
the North that winter popped into his
head, Il wish l was in Dixie" With
these words as an inspiration he
wrote the famous song. In 1861 a
chorus of girls sang it in a theater in
New Orleans! The Washington Artill-
cry heard it, made it a part of their
rcpertory, and it has been sung ever
since.
John Browns Body" was an old
negro spiritual. camp-meeting song
The old words were used until Julia
Ward Howe wrote her famous Battle
Hymn" for it.
The favorite song of the Spanish war
was "A Hot Time in the Old Town To-
night" 1t was a popular street song
when the war started and the soldiers
simply took it for their own. They
sang it so much that some of the for
eign correspondents wrote home to
their papers that America entered Gu
ba singing their two national anthems,
THE Star Spangled Banner" and "a

invited them to make visit TO camp
One evening while they were there the
famous Washington Artillery serenad-
cd them. They asked if there wasn't
something they could do for them in
return, and some soldier shouted. Let
us hear woman's voice!" The Cary
girl who sang Immediately stepped
cut beneath the stars and sang Mary
land. My Maryland" This was the
birth of the song as a war song. The
soldiers went wild over it. They sang
1t far into the night, and in a few
weeks it was known by every regi-
ment in the South.
Dixie" strange TO say, was written
py northerner. famous old min
strel man. Dan Emmett. In those days
every minstrel show ended with what
was called "walk-around," a repre-
sentation of plantation life, and old
Dan was very successful in writing
these "walk-arounds" for his COM
pany. One night, three or four years
before the Civil War, Dan was told
that he would have to have a new one
ready for the next rehearsal. 1t was
a cold and dreary day. and as he was

THE origin of some of those old
time war songs of our grand
fathers day that the Yanks
carried "over here" with them, and
sang with as much fervor as those that
were written for them, are most in
teresting.
There was Maryland. My Mary
land" for example. which was called
the Marseillaise of the Confederacy.
It was written by young man named
James Ryder Randall. He was a Bal
timorean, but when the war broke out
he was on a paper in New Orleans.
He was not strong enough to enlist,
but being an ardent southerner he felt
1t very keenly when his native state
hung back and refused to join the
Confederacy. When he heard that the
Baltimore people had at last fired on
northern troops he was overjoyed. and
that night he got up out of his bed at
midnight and wrote the poem. MARY
land, My Maryland" The entire
poem." he said later. was dashed off
In a very few minutes" 1t was pub
lished in his own paper first. and was
later copied in every paper in the
South.

young miss of Is who has been in the

dragging down her ninety bucks a

their name, for the great day when
some beau managed to hold out
enough from his mother, his tailor, his
barber, the poolroom, the cigarette
store and the baseball game to take
her as far as the corner and buy her
a glass of soda?
How would the boys like to rock
on the porch until it seemed that the
whole world was rocking, too, until
their souls rocked within them, un-
til chaos seemed present, evening aft
er evening, week after week. year aft
er year?
II have two brothers older than me.
They made anywhere from S35 to $50
a month before the war. They paid
board-sometimes- mother felt
strong enough to drag the money
away from them, which was not often.
They never gave anyone in the family
dime. Once in blue moon mother'd
make one of them take me out. Be-
lieve me, it would be some battle. l
often begged mother not to kill herself
battling with the boys to take me
out, though, the world can bet I'd
have given an eye to get to picture

was battle and the last word could
be, Well, she pays her own car fare

they had to be with me. After one or
two trials l gave it up. Never again
