Perhaps the most, tinuly established popular song In the world Is the air fa miliar to American as "We Won't Go Home Till Morning " The origin of the tune Is ubwuru. hut Louis Elson be lieves 'that tbe iiiuhIc was composed as a love song in the tenth century or earlier by one of tbe troubadours, tbe wandering minstrels of soutberu France. Chateaubriand, the French writer, beard It mtug by the A nibs, and be suggested that It might .have been carried to tbe orlefat by tbe French cru saders. It was certainly sung by the Prerch soldiers during the war liv whlcb tbe 8 rut Duke of Marlborough ' won bis fume. It was the lullaby of the baby son of Maiie Antoinette. It became one of the most, popular songs of tbe French revolution. Napoleon whistled and sang it throughout his life. Beetho ven used it as obe of the themes W bis "Battle Symphony." It bas been for more tban a century one of the most popular street songs In Europe. And there is probably not a ten-year-old boy or girl In America who does not know the tune. Tbe French words, beginning "Mai brook s'en vn-t-en guerre." were invent-, ed by some forgotten French soldier during tbe war of the Spanish succes sion. They describe the supposed death and funeral of tbe btike of Marlbor ough, which death. In the words of Father front "did not then take place, by some mintage." since "the subject or the pnthotlf pIpst wnx nt the MiiHMrf It coinpimlttoii.

Several sets of words have been sung to the tune in the course of its history, and it has itself undergone some modi fications. But Its Identity is clear through all the.cbangea. Probably it is familiar to a greater number of people at the present time tban any other tune In the world. Sooth's Companion. WON THE JURY. A Couple of Shrewd Queries and the Railroad Lost Its Cat. A number of years ago Benjamin F. Butler was a guest or friends in Brook lyn. During bis visit be noted the rule of the street railway companies com pelling conductors to register .fares as soon as passengers entered the . cars and before the fares were actually col lected. Two or three years afterward be represented tbe plaintiff In a dutnage' suit for $15,000 in which a Brooklyn street railway company was the de fendant. The principal witness for the company was the conductor of tbe car on which the accident occurred, and his testimony was so. strong as to make things look bud for Butler's cli ent. But Butler recalled the, unusual rule be bad remarked years before, and on cross examination be said: "Your company requires you to ring up fares as soon as passengers enter the car, doesn't It?" ( .' 1 ,' "Yes." ' '. ' ' "Suppose a passenger boards your- car and then tin da be Is on tbe wrong line. Do you state tbat fact to your superiors, and do they make allowance on your returns for that fare?" "No. ' 1 lone the nickel." "Do you mean to say the company won't take your word for 5 cents?" "No. they won't" "Yet," suld tbe shrewd veteran, turn ing to the Jury, "the company asks you to take this conductor's word for $18. 000." - ' ' , .' Butler's client received a verdict Brooklyn Eagle.

Tbe numt-er seven plays promlneat part In e vents in tbe Bible. The crea tion took six- days, and on tbe Beventb there was rest. .On tbe seventh day of the seventh month a holy observance was ordained, and the Israelites feast- . ed seven days and rested seven days. Noah bad seven days' warning of the flood, and tbe seven years of plenty were foretold in Pharaoh's dream by seven fat beasts, as were the seven lean years by seven lean beasts. We speak of the seven beavens, and the seventh son was supposed to be endowed with pre-eminent wisdom. In short there is no other number which enters into the Bible so often as seven. No doubt tbe wide popularity of the number and tbe superstitions which are connected with it came from Its wide use In tbe Bible. nt wrenrumer on tut ""nr St 'KirnmnrHf '-i -1 Zl.
