HISTORY OF THE SONG
I'm THE SWEET BYE AND BYE
By TIMOTHY BURKE


Mr.. Frank +. Carswell of Elkhorn,
Wis, was visitor at Green Bay dur
ing the past week. He was resident
of this city for many years and was a
manager of both telephone systems
during that time.
He related to me what purports to
be a true history of the origin of the
song "In the Sweet Bye and Bye"
which is sung in every land where the
English language is spoken.
The words, he states, were composed
by Sanford Fillmore Bennett in his
drug store at ElkhOrn, Wis, and that
the music was composed by Professor
j. p. Webster of the same place. This
was in the winter of 1867 and 1868,
While Mr.. Bennett and Professor Web
ster were discussing the matter two
friends of theirs, N. IL. Carswell and
S. Il. Bright, came to the drug store
and Professor Webster sung the selec-
ton to his audience of three friends.
Then all four sang the selection at the
dru gstore.
Several years ago Geo, N. Wiswell,
now deceased, a well known resident
of Wisconsin and later u. 5. Marshal
for the Eastern district of Wisconsin,
told the writer that he was one of a
choir which first sang this song in pub
lie, and that the occasion was at the
funeral of lady at Elkhorn, l had
forgotten the deceased lady'S name. |
asked Mr.. Carswell who it was, and he
stated that it was the funeral of Lou
Use Carswell, wife of n. II. Carswell,
one of the four who participated in the
singing of this selection at Benefits
drug store. Mrs. Carswcll was buried
on March %, 1868. Frank f.. Carswcll
who related this to me, is a grandson
of the lady on the occasion of whose
funeral this song was first sung in pub
lie. Mr.. Carswell thinks that George
n. Wiswell was too young to sing on a
public occasion of this kind, back in
1868, but l think he is mistaken. Mr..
Wiswell told me seevral times of the
occasion on which he participated in
the singing of "In the Sweet Bye and
Bye" at funeral at Elkhorn, and
think it was on the same occasion,
Mr.. Wiswell developed into quite a
public singer and on many occasions |
heard him sing his favorite song, odd
Shady"
Mr.. Carswell informs me that he has
an old melodeon which his grand
father n. II. Carswell and his friends,
used on many occasions during the
Civil war. During the stirring days Of
that time Mr.. Carswell and others used
to drive around through the country
carrying the musical instrument on a
sleigh, and engage in singing patriotic
songs and other selections of those
days.
This in brief is a history of the
bringing into existence the song an
the Sweet Bye and Bye" which like
"Silver Threads Among the Cold is
a Wisconsin product. They are both
"songS that will never die"

Haven't YOU seen mothers and faith
crs who will humor their children in
every little thing, and when they see
what a pass they are coming to, they
will suddenly stop and wonder why the
poor bewildercd child makes such a
fuss. | knew a mother once whose
child had very nervous tempera-
ment When the child was tiny the
mother had humored her in her fear OF
the dark As she grew up it seemed
easier to humer her than not So the
mother never made her go into a dark
room and never made her sleep alone
At last, when the girl was nearly six
teen years of age the mother suddenly
realized how foolish her tactics were
and all at once she ceased to humOr the
child. The girl, left alone in her room
at night was surrounded in her imagi-
nation by a hundred horrors, but her
mother would not listen to pleading
to relieve her distress, thinking she was
doing her duty Finally, after about a
month of severe mental suffering, the
child Contracted brain fever and
nearly lost her life. That is severe
case of course, but to the point never
theless. If YOU are humoring your
child unnecessarily it is well that you
find it out and stop, but you can't ex-
pect to bring about a change in the
child's nature over night. You must
go at such things gradually. Human
beings cannot be bent to every tickle
wind that blows through the human
Imnd.-EX.

Anent the MuIberger Law

The Wisconsin Anti-Saloon League,
Monday issued the following state
ment:
The overwhelming vote Of Wisconsin
in favor of the Mulberger law, Chap
ter $50 of the Laws of 1919, after the
decision of the United States Supreme
court had made it read that one-half
of one per cent of alcohol by volume
made a beverage Intoxicating is a
clear instruction to our senators and
representatives to uphold the Volstead
act, and an indication that they want
an effective state enforcement code in
harmony with the Volstead act.
The republican platform pledges the
amendment of the Mulberger law to
make it as drastic and effective as the
federal law, and on the face of legisla-
tive returns the drys have a bare ma
jority in each house of the state legis-
lature, If the members elect stand by
their prediction declarations, as we
are confident they will, the law will be
so amended as to bring state courts
and state officers more into use, giving
added enforcement machinery and
keeping liquor fines within the state.
Supt r, p. Hutton has gone for a
short rest. When he returns a confer
ence of the legislative committee of
the Anti-SalOon League and the W. c.
i. T., to which will be invited leaders
of the Federation of Womcn's Clubs,
district attorneys, civic bodies and
others, will be called for the purpose
of outlining the general outline of the
revisions to be suggested to the legis-
lature, and appointing a subcommittee
to draft the proposed bill.
The League regards the reelection
of Senator |. l.. Lenroot as of first i'm
portance nationally to the cause Of
prohibition.
Congressman elect A. z. Nelson,
James A. Frear, f. T.. Browne, and
j. ID. Beck have all declared for main
tanning the Volstead definition, and
while j. NJ Nelson, and II. A. Cooper
refused to make any declaration, both
voted for the Eighteenth amendment;
therefore, we expect them to take the
same stand in spite Of the wet support
which they received.

Sometimes one sees a child that is
unusually attractive and upon making
remark to that effect to the mother
she will shipper and smile and say,
eyes, but she is just spoilt to death"
She will laugh about it as if it were
something to be proud of. A spoiled
child is a very sorry little creature, be
cause she has to get that out of her
makeup or lead very sorry existence
A great many children are spoiled I'M
til they leave home and go out ION
their own" Then it is knocked out Of
them, but it is very hard for them to
get themselves adjusted to things as
they find them. Those who do not get
it knocked out of them will always be
failures, so it is pretty hard PROPOSE
ton for the child either way. Parents
should take every precaution against
spelling their children or letting others
do it, for it will only lead to their
great unhappiness later on.--Ex.

"The time to get married." said a
cynical young woman, sis when you
are young and don't know any better,
or when you are old and tired of living
with yourself" That state of mind is
one of the things that is wrong with
our American homes just at present.
The sooner it is trained out of our
young people the better And it can
only be trained out by having them
observe happy marriages--either their
own or others.

Protest of Chicks
on Hens Game wiz
Stand Up is VietU

Apparently the game between
Henryetta and ChickaSha, protested
by Manager Pettlgrew Of the Chicks
on the grounds that the umpire, fol
lowing the protest CT the Hens re.
fused to a..ow a pinch hitter in af
Ter a ball and a strike had been call
ed en- Reudy, will be thrown out.
Following Is the opinion of Chas
j. Brill sports editor of the Daily
OkMhoman and secretary of the
Western association:
There absolutely Is no ground
for preventing change Of the bat
ter at any time, whether he had
been pitched to Or not, the new man
accepting whatever the count Was
ON the man he relleged. Manager
Rogers of the IIenrys declares the
umpire did not reluse to permit The
change, but that Manager Pettigrew
permitted the Henryetta catcher to
b,uG hin, out on the argument
Waether the protest IS sustained by
President Lcteher undoubtedly will
depend upon whether the umpire re-
FUSED to permit the change to be
made or whether the Henlyetta play
ers got away with their bluff. If
the umpire refused to permit the
change, it clearly is misinterpreta-
ton Of The playing rules, which
would mem the game should be
thrown out. II TIE umpire did not
rule against Chicbasha, then there
is no ground for protest. The UNI
piro has not been heard from on
the question
Hle facts in the case are these:
Manager Pettigrew was on third
md Hayes on second Two were out.
Reudy cane to bat A strike and Il
ball wero called on him. At that
point PctIgrew signaled for Dobbins
to get in and hit Tor Reudy. Dobbins
selected his club and advanced to-
wlrds the plate. Reudy retired and
seated himself Oh the Chicks bench.
The Hens protested loudly. where
upon Umpire Perkins motioned Dob
bins away from The plate and signal
ed fer Reudy TO return the batter's
box, which he did, hitting TO short
and being thrown out at first
Tie Honiyetta catcher did not in
anyway bluff Pettigrew. The Chicks
manager accepted the decision Of
the urps and served notice that
the game would be protested.
