HOW llCOMPOHK.S A SONO.
When asked by a World eoreMismd
lilt nlkollt lit I ; Ull.d of COIIIkosllloll,
he repllisl: "lis" are weeks at a
time when I do not tom u a piano or
think of cotu!oHtig. I play by car
mly and do nut know a single not.
My arranger, Mr, Joseph Clander,
who U, In my estimation, on of the
boat arranger lu tbe country today,
U tlm lender of th orchestra at Da
vidson' theatre. Whenever I bave
a song to take down I send for blm.
I piny It off by ear to blm and bo jut
It down. Then be play It over In
tlm right key. aud If there are auy
mistake I correct them.
"llu thou lettve with tha manuscript
ami return lu about a week with It
all ready for tho pre. My pnsf
rnilcr carefully rends tit manuscript
after It ha lsn-n played, and If the
arrangement Is found to bo all right
It la sent aero tb street to my print
er, who makes the plate of tho song.
I then uncinate the title page, lou
will find that tho tlilo page of each of
tny song la different from tho oth
er. I am also very particular about
the paper, Ink and tyjic used.
"I do not wrlto vulgar song. My
nng are found In every home In the
United State which Im a piano or
parlor organ. I writ for tho peo
ple: and tny aubjiet are taken from
Ufa. I receive hnndred of letter
lally from all clnsse of peflpln, from
Ikisitlilack to society belle, who de-
slro mo to put music to their poem.
I linvo tried it several times, but have
always found It an utter Impomlhlllty.
"I wrlto both words and mimic at
tlio aamo time, and If you pick up
any of my song you will find that
tho word and mualo harmonlxo close
ly. In composing a song a man must
Imvn musical ability, and must also
be something of a poet"
"Whero do you obtain yonr Idea
for descriptive ballads?"
"Well, ordinarily a man gives no
thought to bis surrounding, liut
with mo It I different I notice ninny
llUIn thing on the street, lu tho cars.
or In a theatre, which most pwple
wouldn't bother thomrtelve about. 1
linpMied to bo lu Chicago about two
years ngo. I waa waiting for my
train, and by my aide stood a litind-
sonni man with a beautirui goiden
lialred child." The tnUn from Milwau-
oo drew In nud a beautiful, stylish-
ly-dressed kuly atepm-d from a car
and wn punning through the gates
iv lien alio spied the child. Tho child
it 1 1 Ki amiia inoini iit gave a scream of
Icllght and was rushing to her out
stretched arms, when the gentleman
pilckly drew tho child away and
prang Into the car.
It aoeinwl that they wero parted,
and I found out from th conductor
afterward that she had left her hus
band, who was a prominent Insurance
man, for nn actor. From tlmt scone
was originated 'Fallen by tho W'ny
Hlde,' which I ono of the bit on my
atitloguo."
STORY OF "AFTER THE HALL."
Will you tell tbe readers of The
World how you enmo to write 'After
tlm Hall?' "
"I attended a ball In Chicago given
by ono of tho prominent clubs the'"
and stood talking to a handsome b....
Inos num. I noticed that his eye con
stantly followed a certain young lady
In the ballroom, I found out subse
(juon.tly that they bad leeii engaged,
but hud parted through some lover'
quarrel. Whllo bo was dancing with
othr girls she would auxlomdy wntch
htm. I knew by the expression of
their face tlmt tlmlr hourts were
aching.
"On my return homo 1 was In my
office completely tired out, when a
member of tho Wheelmen's club came
and asked mo to comiHxte a song for
an entertainment to be given by the
club, I told hint I was too tired after
tho ball, but If ho would leave me
nlimo I could perhaps compose some
thing for him tn time for tho enter
tainment. Tho words "'after the ball'
kept ringing In my cars, nnd I could
not rest I sat down at the plnno,
and at that moment 1 had tho entire
Idea, music, subject and nil. lu nu
hour tin song was tlnlnlied.
"It was sung at tho Wlieeluion'g
olub. The singer forgot tho third
verso and tho song fell Hat. I put the
manuscript awny In disgust and for
got all about It One day I received
an order from Chicago for ten copies
of the song. I wrote back that Ihe

printer and had a thousand copies

I bad just published, mainly 'KlM

"FIFTY YEARS AOO."
"Whore did you get tin Idea of tho
on, 'Fifty Year Ago? "
"II came about lu this way. I at
tended a golden wedding In thl city,
wln.r the coupl staiidlog aid by
Ida, gray-balrod and tsit, were mar
ried over again. Fifty year had
passod slno Uiey stood 1n tho same
poaiuon. After the ceremony had
bmm performed I Usikod at th eouide
landing there so happy, and thought
of bow they bad paused through tbe
am scene fifty years ago. What a
bountiful subject for a song! 1 ar
ranged the character to th l)et of
my ability, but, Instead of having
thmn married, J parted them for that
length of time, a you will tun by the
song, which I think is on of tbe pret-
Uei i have ever wrltb-n."
"How do you publish a ongf"
"Titer are all kind of way of pub-

Woman claims her own. Her field widens constantly.
Every day brightens her prospects. Her progress fore

Prophetic of final victory were her achievements at the

The lesson taught at the "Woman's Building" will last "till
