Fillmore Bennett of Elkhorn, Wis., mid Its birth In a country store. Mr. Dennett told the story, which Is given In Wisconsin In Three Centuries, as follows: "It was about time for closing bus Iness In the evening when J. P. Web ster. whose melodies have made Wis consin famous, came into the store feeling somewhat depressed. "I said to Webster: 'What is the matter now?' "He replied: 'It Is no matter; It will be all right by and by.' "The Idea of the hymn came to me like a flash of sunshine, and I replied: The sweet by and by. Why would not that make a good hymn?' " 'Maybe It would,' he said, Indif ferently. "I turned to my desk and penned the hymn as fast as 1 could write. I handed It to Mr. Webster. As he read It his eyes kindled and his whole de meanor chanced. Stepping to his desk, he began writing the notes in- sutntly. "In a few moments he requested Mr. Bright to hand him his violin, and ho played with little hesitation the beau tiful melody from the notes. A few moments later he jotted down the notes for the different parts and the MARCH AND APRIL. It Is expected that 20,000 people will tome to Oreiton during the months of March and April. This means the adding of another county about the size of Union from a popu lation standpoint. Union county could easily absorb this entire 20,000 and the 40,000 would be more pros perous than our present 20,000. While it is not practical nor possible for any one county to secure all, it depends very much upon the Individual activ ity of uny one county in the slate to receive Its Just proportion. This Is es pecially true of the extreme eastern portion of the state, as Portland being the terminus and the leading city In the state will be the logical destina tion and the Inland empire must make sufficient noise to atliact their atten tion or they will never know that we ore on the map. For a number of years-we East Oregoniuns were prone to call the Willamette valley counties muBsbackH, und for u time it was fit ting, but no longer. They are now as aggressive us any portion of the state, and if they made the claim to being more ho, It inlKht require considerable evident of a rebuttal nature to dis lodge them. Salem, Albany, Eugene In the Willamette valley; Itoseburg In the Umpqua. and Grant's Pass, Med ford and Ashland In Rogue Hiver val ley have live, wide-awake commercial bodies that are now preparing for an active campaign during .March and April.

"I do not think It was more than 30 minutes from the time I took my pen up to write the words before the hymn and the notes had all been completed and four of us were singing It exactly as It appeared In the Signet Ring a few days later, and as It has been sung the world over ever since." Se lected. IDLE SEASON. This Is the season of the year when the charitable Institutions of the large cities are taxed. The committee of the Central Federated I'nlon reports ) that there are at present. 180, 000 Idle i men In New York city. This does not mean that all or even a small portion of this number are recipients of char ity, but It does mean there Is little opportunity for those without means and a homo to secure employment whereby they can support themselves. We do not have to go so far away from home. Portland, Seattle. San Francisco and Los Anelcs have prob lems of their own. A free soup house was established In the last named city a few days ago. Spring work In many . sections of the country ulll scon open, Which will .iff -r relief. Chain Gang at Walla Walla, For the first time In the history of the city, a chain gang graces the streets, making some effort to reim burse the city for their keep. The gang sent out this morning was In charge of Floyd Havlland and con sisted of three able-bodied men who are laying out time In Jail, says the Walla Walla Statesman. Heretofore It has been the custom to allow prisoners to serve out their time In the county Jail, a dead loss to the city, which was forced to dig up for their keep. As a consequence. Hotel Havlland, ns the county hostelry Is termed, has In time past, particu larly In cold weather, become a favor ite lounging place for those too lazy to work. Hut under the new system, It is thought that the desire for cheap board and lodging will lessen consid erably and that the hotel keeper will be a much less worked Individual. In fact, the news that the chain gang was going to be sent out has had a most decided Influence for the good, there not having been a single arrest from Friday night up to this noon.
