INSPIRATION FOR SONGS

AX IXTEItnSTIXCJ CHAT WITH HARRY VOX TILZER, UAL I AD WHITER.

He Tell. w ur Cniue to AVrlte I'd Leavc Happy Home for You nnd Other Sng.

The man who wrote the popular song, "I'd leave My Happy Home for You." was in town last week. He is Harry Von Tilzer, one of the most successful song writers of the country. He came to the city to visit his parents, Jacob and Sarah Gumbinsky, who keep a millinery store at No. 20.1 West Washington street. Thursday afternoon Von Tilzer left for West Paden, where he expects to do some work on an opera on which he has been engaced for some time. Von Tilzer spends the most of his time in New York. When he left Indianapolis to go into the theatrical and song-writing business he took his mother's maiden name. While he lived here he was always known as Harry Gumbinsky. He ia a slender young fellow cf about twentyseven. Von Tilzer i? the author of a number of popular songs that are being whistled and sung all over the country these days. In the cities the song entitled "I'd Leave My Happy Home for You" has become almost a byword. "A rather peculiar Incident is responsible for that song," said Von Tilzer at the Pates the other evening. "A few years ago I was traveling with The Prodigal Father' company, and while in Hartford. Conn., I met a young woman who belonged to an excellent family. I soon saw she was stagestruck, but did not take her seriously. When she asked me if 1 could not arrange to get her in the company I said I would, supposing, of course, she was only Joking. I thought no more of the Incident until Saturday night, when the company closed its engagement in Hartford. I found the girl waiting for rr.e. and she cooly handed me the check for her trunk. I asked her what she meant, and the explanation which followed disclosed the fact that the girl seriously contemplated going on the stage and had taken me seriously. She was greatly disappointed when she found there was no place In the company for her. I Invited her to walk to the railway station with me, sind I think I gave her some good advice. I pointed out to her that her people would seriously object to her taking a step of this kind anel urged her to stick by her parents. 'Stay at home and be a good

girl,' I said in half jest as I left her. 'I'll take your advice,' she faltered, and then laughingly added through her tears, 'Put I'd leave my happy home for you.' "I forgot the incident soon afterward," continued the song writer, "and never heard of the girl again. One day, about a year anel a half afterward, I sat in my room in New York thrumming the piano. I don't know what recalleel it, but the last words of that girl as I left her in the railway station in Hartford popped into my head. I immediately began working out the chorus, and through this incident originated the song. 'I'd Leave My Happy Home for You.' " Another one of Von Tilzer's songs that has had a large sale is called "A Pird in a Gilded Cage." The words for this song were originally written by Arthur Lamb, a Chicage song writer, and turned over to Von Tilzer. The latter wrote the music and then revised the words, changing the story materially. One of the prettiest airs ev?r composed by Von Tilzer is entitled "Where the Sweet Magnolias Bloom." It has been sung all over the country in the vaudeville theaters. Another of his songs Is entitled "I Ain't a-Goin" to Weep No More." The song that bids fair to have the largest sale of any that Von Tilzer has written is the ballad "When the Harvest Days are Over, Jessie Dear." Mr. Von Tilzer said the other evening that this song was written at West Baden while he was sojourning there several months ago. "I used to sit around a good deal while I was there and think about my work," he said. "Once, while in one of these day dreams, I thought out a new titlo for a new song. I do not know just what suggested it to me, but I thought that a ballad with the title 'Where the Morning Glories Twine Around the Door' might make a hit. A day or two later I was riding from West Baden to French Lick, and I became interested in some young people at work in a hay field. There was a fine, manly looking young fellow,

pitching hay on to a wagon, and a young woman and little girl were on the wagon, loading it. Itight there was where I got my inspiration for the song 'When the Harvest Days Are Over.' There was something abe)ut the quiet, peaceful scene that touched the right chord, and I wrote that song, 'When the Harvest Days Are Over, Jessie Dear, instead of 'Where the Morning Glories Twine Around the Door." " Mr. Von Tilzer says he thinks his next hit in the poplar-song line will be a ballad entitled "Down Where the Cotton Blossoms Grow." Von T'ilzer and Paul Dresser, whose latest hit la "The Blue and the Gray," are personal frienels. (UPLlt USES OF l.DlGO.

Its Relation to Lyddite Shell, Which Turn Things Yellow. Harvey Sutherland, in Ainslee's Magazine. Naturally, the next thing to consider should be indigo, because speaking of "water" and "clean" makes you think of washing, and Monday morning, und the blue bag. Also, it makes you think of the lloers by indirection, for those defenders of their institutions make one wet rag in the morning do duty for the faces and hands of pap and mother and the eleven children; and then. t'o, the British fired shells of lyddite at them, and the fumes of the explosion turned them a gaudy yellow in complexion. Now, 1 ddite is indigo on which nitric acid has been poured. It is not only a thing to be melted and loaded into shells and set off with a primer of guncotten. but it is a brilliant yellow dye. When the explosive is made in England it is called lyddite; when it is made in r'ranoj it is calle! melinite, but it will answer to either name if it is touched off in the right This may seom a queer use of indigo, but It is still queerer that all the bri?ht cilora that we call the aniline dyes, and which we know are derived from the coal tar products, are so named from Indigo's oth?r name, "anil." made in' lr.-i laboratory. So many and so wonderful are th; us-s to shich chemist? have rut the cemmon, black, ill-smelling tar. that by-product which the early manufacturers of illumlr.utins Pi fled s.-i plteously to get carted away that one hardly dares to speak of them as rjueer. They are too great. They are amazing. They are even awe-inspiring, for to see whither experimentation with the carbon compounds has brought us is to realise that there we are very near to the uot where the profoundest secrets of the iiviiv growing world lie hid. Some of the triumphs of the chemist in his domain rome so near to mortal man's having a hand in creation Itself that it almost "rare When a human b!n can make Vr.Vn'tar an indigo so good and so cheap that within the last four years, it has rbVen to be the successful rival of the ln-di-o that the good Lord causes to grow in n ant we may well pause And look back uDon the long and tortuous way we have come since lirst our ancestors began to make queer uses of common things.
