Not much, certainly. RhOda was sure

that none of her fathers papers had
been destroyed. There was a whole

had sealed up the trunk. In other

But had she said that it was in the

home with her and helping in the
search for the paper she wanted. Had

Modernization in Terms

That there is a vast field in mod
ernization for use of building mate
rails and equipment and for employ
ment of construction labor, which has
hardly been scratched, is coming to
the knowledge of those in the indus
try in many cities.
Analysis of permits issued in sew
eral hundred cities of the United
States shows that bringing the home
up to date and making the old COM
mercial building ard even the factory
modern has become quite popular and
accounts for large volume of work.
There is enormous waste each year
in the abandonment of the older
homes for the newer models and 1t
cannot be said to be in the same class
with buying the latest model motor
car or radio. since the home, with
some care at intervals. never does

this country homes still are being use'l

Keeping Step With Progress.

old automobile advertised as machine

pleases the eye and eases the body
while it takes you considerably farther
and faster and brings you back even
more certainly than its predecessor
ever did. Today progress is beginning
to change the roads. Bridges. among
the first highway links to feel the
change, have become structures Of
real beauty. The new bridges at Hair
risburg and Columbia are examples
of this development. The elaborate
system of viaducts on the express high
way system through Elizabeth and
Newark, N. j., is another example, and
the beautiful bridge at Bethlehem,

Two Freakish Forms of
South Atlantic Birds

Penguins are strange birds. They
use their wings for swimming in
stead of for flying. They are found
in the seas Of the southern hemi-
sphere, and range in size from the
emperor penguin. who stands four
feet high, to little fellows hardly
larger than an ordinary duck. The
legs Of the penguin are set very far
back. and on land they waddle and
shuttle about in the most mirth-prO-
voking manner, holding their bodies
upright. The king penguin, which
comes from the South Atlantic is
lands, stands over two feet in height,
and has a long bill and bright or
ange chest. Another strange bird SIM
liar in many ways to the penguin is
the steamer duck. He gets his funny
name from his rapid and splashy
way of swimming, just like an old
fashioned paddle steamer.

Right Care Of Property
Obligation of Owner

A house receiving proper care will
last much longer than the one that
is neglected, is the trite reminder adj
dressed to home owners by the Nation
al Association of Real Estate Boards
in one of its series of articles on
Looking Into Real Estate"
.In the year 1907, in the twenty
fourth chapter of the English statutes
of Marlbridge, it was provided that a
tenant damaging or wasting his prop
erty be fined and deprived of his hold
ings," the association writes. "All land
then was owned under the feudal sys-
TEN and being a life tenant was as
near to property ownership as most
people could get. But this ancient
statute shows that even in those far
off times people were conscious of the
possibilities of depreciation and did
what they could, through such regula-
ton, to conserve real property.
Scare of the home and property
means keeping an eye out for many
things. 1t may look like lot of work
but, spread over the year. 1t really
isn't so much. Furthermore, such work
is building up an equity, figured from
the point of view of the continuing
endurance of your domicile, and you
are willing to work for equity in other
things. If your house lasts longeE you
will have your investment longer, and
enjoy your home more"

AS walked down by st. James hospi-
st. James hospital. SO early one day.
ETC., etc.
II had often amused myself by try
ing to write verse and one dull winter
day in camp, to while away the time.
l began writing a poem which could
be sung to the tune of The Dying
Girls Lament. made it a dying
ranger or cowboy instead of dying
girl and had the scene in Tom Sher-
mans barroom instead of a hospital.
"Tom Sherman was noted char
acter in the old cattle trail days, big
strapping fellow six feet six or six
feet seven. tall, who first ran dance
hall and saloon in Great Bend in 1873
and then moved to Dodge City where
he ran the same sort of place until
some time in the SOS. All of the cow
boys who came up from Texas knew
Tom Sherman.
"After had finished the new words
I sang it to the boys in our outfit.
They liked it and began singing it. 1t
became popular with the boys in other
outfits who heard it after we had
taken our herd to market in Wichita
the next spring and from that time on
l heard it sung everywhere on the
range and trail.' M
So 1.-THE Cowboys Lament is an
other example of favorite cowboy
song which was an adaptation of an
earlier ballad Mr.. Maynard's version,
written in 1876 and thus antedating
other versions by five and possibly
ten years, had for its first verse the
following: U.s. Z
AS I rode down by Tom Sherman's
barroom

There / espied a handsome young
All wrapped in white linen, as cold as

CHORUS: v
Then muffle the drums and play the
dead march;
Play the dead march as I'm carried
along;
Take me to the churchyard and lay
ha cad 0'nr
I'm a young ranger and know I've
done wrong.
The version of this song, as given
in Lomax's collection and as it is often
reprinted starts out:
AS I walked out in the streets of
Laredo,
AS 1 walked out in Laredo one day,
1 spied a poor cowboy wrapped up in
white linen,
Wrapped up in white linen as cold as
the clay.
20, beat the, drum slowly and play

For I'm young cowboy and 1 know

see by your outfit that you are a
cowboy"
These words he did say as boldly
stepped by.
'cone sit down beside me ana hear
my sad story;
1 was shot in the breast and know
must die"
From which it will be seen that in
the years in which the fame of this
poor cowboy who done wrong has
spread the scene of his untimely de-
mise has been changed to Laredo,
Texas. But before it is too late. |

cowboy songs are nothing more than
adaptations of sentimental ballads OF
an earlier day. This is true OF one
of the most famous of them ala
song variously known as "The Dying
Cowboy" "The Cowboys Lament" and
1.-THE Lone Prairie" song OF in
Vulnerable verses and Of many varia-
lions both as to the wording OF the
different stanzas and the chorus which
follows each stanza. In practically all
versions the first stanZa is the same:
"Oh. bury me not on the lone prairie.
These words came low and mournfully
From the pallid lips of youth who
lay
On his dying bed at the close Of day.
. BY making allowance for much focal
color" it is easy to see how "The Lone
Prairie" song was adapted from the
song. "The Ocean Burial" words by
w. H. Saunders, music by G. N. Allen,
which appears in "The Nightingale"
a book of songs for Juvenile Glasses,
Public Schools and Summaries" COM
piled by w. o. and H. S. Perkins and
published by Ditson in 1860. The first
verse of 1.-THE Ocean Burial" tells how:
20, bury me not in the deep, deep sea-"
The words came low and mournfully
From the pallid lips of youth who
lay
On his cabin couch at close of day.
and its other numerous verses de-
scribe the deathbed scene infinitely
and with a wealth of detail, only, of
course, the scenes are laid on the
deep, deep sea- instead of the "lone
prairie-e-e."
Nearly as famous cowboy song
as 'The Lone Prairie" Is another also
variously called "The Cowboys La
ment" and "The Dying Cowboy" which
has this chorus:
"Oh. beat the drum slowly and play
the fife lowly,
Play the Dead March as you carry
me along;
Take me to the churchyard and lay
the sod DER me
For I'm a young cowboy, know I've
done wrong"
Different authorities on cowboy
songs and other native American bal
lads credit the authorship of this. song
to various persons and the usual state
ment is that sit appeared on the
ranges in the early eighties" Although
it is difficult to determine the author
ship of ballad, since such song
usually represents the contribution
OF, succession of amateur bards
rather than the work Of single poet,
it is my belief that, as nearly as the
authorship of '"The Cowboys Lament"
can be determined, credit for it be-
longs to the late f. Fl. Maynard of
Colorado Springs, Colo, an old-time
cowboy. Here is his story as he told
it to me several years ago:
During the winter of 1876 I was
working for Grimes outfit which had
started north with trail herd from
Matagorda Bay, Texas. We were win
tering the herd on the Salt Fork of
the Arkansas river on the border of
Kansas and Indian territory, waiting
for the spring market to- open at
Wichita.
"One of the favorite songs Of the
cowboys in those days was called
The Dying Girls Lament the story
of a girl who had been betrayed by
her lover and who lay dying in a hos
pital. don't remember all of the
song but it began something like this:
