RELIABILITY
is a quality some newspapers have lost sight of these
days of “yellow” journalism. They care little for truth
l’\ * and a great deal for temporary sensation.
It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD.
The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability.
jp,. it prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth
about it.
* , It is the only American newspaper outside New York city
I that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its
* own staff correspondents and artists at the front in both
b - hemispheres.
, It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world.
Its war news service is unapproachably the best
Says the Urbana (111.) Daily Courier:

ice how much of it is true.”

The mural tablet which is to

chiseled state flag and a painted

The torpedo boat Winslow
which suffered so severely in the
Cardenas fight, had a parrot for a
mascot. It was in a cage ♦ hat hung
in the conning tower. When the
little fighting craft was in the
thickest of the storm of shot and
shell from the Spanish batteries,
the conning tower was hit haid
enough to make it shiver. The
cage rattled against the si 'e. Then
there came a screech from the par
rot:
“H—l, but they are coming
hot!”
Although the death-dealing
missiles were in the air all around
them, some of the crew cracked a
joke back at the parrot. Soon the
conning tower was struck again.
“H—l. but they are coming
hot,”screehed the parrot a second
time.

uloded that killed Ensign Bagley
and his companions. The parrot

The Chicago Times-Herald con
tributes the following to the cur
rent history of the farncus air Dixie
so dear to the southerner. By the
way, this reminds the writer of a
remark made by one of the mu
sicians of one of the volunteer
bands from one of the northern
regiments, recently encamped at
Chicamauga, on occasion while
they were playing in the city. The
beys had played a number of pop*
ular airs, bi t didn’t seem to catch
the crowd. Finally this musician
said: “Cap’n, let's play D>xie and
hear the d—fools holler.” The
Times-Herald says:
It was on a Saturday night in
1859. when Dan Emmett was a
member of Bryant’ ministrels that
Dan Bryant of the famous Bryant
combination went to him and
said:
000
“Emmett, can’t you get up
something new for a walk-around?
I want something lively and catchy
for Monday night, a new tune full
of ‘go.’ ”
000
“I’ll try.” responded Emmett,
and he went to work, but could
not please himself until he hit 0.1
the first two bars of “Dixie,” and
then he was pleased enough to
finish it. but it was Sunday after*
noon before he had the-words, “I
wish I was in Dixie.” This col*
loquial phrase was not, as people
suppose, a southern expression. It
did not originate in the south as
is popularly believed but was in
use in northern circuses that had
traveled in the south and enjoyed
southern warmth and hospitality,
When the cold winds of the north
ern states blew through the circus
tents the boys would shiver and
say, “I wish I was in Dixie,”
Dixie being the diminutive for
Dixon —south of Mason and Dix
on’s line.

The air took like wildfire, and
half the audience went Lome hum
ming it, There was do hint of war
then, but the music stirred th®
blood, as only war music can. The
song became the rage, and other
minstrel companies paid Dan
Emmett $5 for its use at their per
formances. Pond, of New York,
paid Emmett S6OO for the copy
right, and Will S. Hayes cairned
the song as his own by publishing
it in a collection under his name.
Finally these questions of poses
sion were settled by law and the
authorship adjudged to Emmett.
THE EXCELLENCE OF SYBUP OF FNS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity gt the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it i®
manufaetured by scientific proc«a®«r
known to the California Fig SyhiF

all the importance of purchasing ths
true and original remedy. As th®
