Very few of the big publishing houses along the row, accept manuscripts from outsiders. Indeed, they don't want them.

They have men under contract to write all their jingles and the verses that go with them. And the publishers are now dreading that the "yaps," which in the vernacular means the would-be artists, will unload their talent upon them. To be sure, it all can be sent back. "But," one man remarked, plaintively. "I'm spending $10 a week on postage stamps for those cheerful idiots, already, and if they don't have some outlet for their work-well, itSIl be up to me to file a petition in bankruptcy." At the well-known houses where the songs that one hears whistled on the street are manufactured, very few stranger contributions are even considered.

The publishers do not wish to take advantage of the enthusiasm of misguided folks, and the kindest thing to do is to put the aspirants out of suspense by the first return mail. "It beats me how such people get it Into their heads that they can write music," one publisher said. "You would think it was something that could be knocked off in spare moments without thinking. Well, if you've got that idea, get rid of it You ought to see some of the specimens we get in here. Honest now.

I haven't got any delusions about my business. I don't claim to be artistic, and anything goes that will go. But say, when a feller sends me a song about Mamey Mahoney, You're My Money, and You'll do for I have a great and ccnsuming desire to get him by the slack of his trousers and give him a swift kick. "The other day a chap came in here with some- verses and music he'd just written, he said. I felt like telling him if he could put it onto some one else's shoulders he'd be doing himself a kindness.

Of course, he assured me it would be the hit of the year. Said nothing just like it had ever been written before. I believed him. It started off with the rag-gedest rag-time, and gradually worked into the oh-take-me-back-to-old-Ken-tucky-mother-dearest-are-you-waiting sort of tune, winding up with some hymn music that was irreverent that is the only way to describe it He had "the lining of the little clouds that sunset turns to green' all mixed up with 'the beauty of your hair and eyes no mortal's ever seen. Gee! it was nothing but common decency and lack of time that kept me from warning him that I'd commence an action if he ever did it again.

"I'd rather have the letters, though, than personal visits. If I have many more like the pair that came in last week, I'll send over to the Tenderloin and hire a bouncer. An old clergyman feller, with long, gray whiskers, and a prim, little woman in stiff, rusty black walked in about two o'clock, while some professional ladies and gents were tryin' over a few pieces outside. 'Good afternoon, he said, very solemn. "How de do," I says, politely, though inside my heart was sinking all the time.

Save Money for Bards of the Rural Regions. a few days ago denizens of that mys-Vutloua thoughfare which runs from an io known liroadway to swv nuus, in comnfon parlance as West Twenty-e'ghth street, but which, in the ranks of "perfesh." goes by the names of "Tin Pan Alley" or "Harmony Row, aroused by a visit paid by certain of the United States Postoffice Department, says the New York Evening Post. Simultaneously, several small music publishing houses closed their floors and" hardworking clerks at the -postoff ice were being kept busy returning letters to diversified rural addresses. Respectable dwellers in "Tin Pan Al-. ley" merely shrugged its shoulders and paid, I tOld yOU SO.

Xliai leiuun was bound to queer itself some day." For these same small music publishing houses liad been living solely on the money they could wring out of the ignorant sort of folk who imagine that it is as easy to scribble a "song-poem" or a march as it is to write verse for the Honeyville lianner. The "lemon game" was worked in this wise: Advertisements were inserted in publications apt to be read in the country districts. These set forth, In engaging terms, the advantages which could be derived from publishing one's stray inspirations. "We are waiting for the American said the printed bait "Who knows? Oil may be him or her. "Who knows? Bend us your poems and music, with ten dollars, and we will arrange the verses to music or provide lyrics for your score es the case may be.

If you approve the result, send us fifteen dollars more and we will publish it for you. We place all cur songs with the leading actors and actresses of the country. We will sell hundreds of thousands of copies. Immense royalties will accure. You will be MANY NIBBLE AT THE BAIT.

These alluring words worked like the proverbial charm. As one music publisher said, in discussing the matter today: "'It's surprising how many hardheaded people can make fools of themselves when they get to thinking about art That's what they call it Art! Hell, there ain't no art in writing popular music. It's all luck and knowing." But, in the course of time, the Fed-ei-ai authorities heard of the use to which the malls were being put by these 'fraudulent houses, and Investigations were made, resulting in speedy action. 7 Primarily, the movement which resulted An their suppression, was started by an unidentified man, who related in a magazine how he had been cheated out of all ItU -I i Tiui3 uy one vl mese iirms. ine i magazines concerned had been in the habit of printing the advertisements of these music "publishers," but it now or-v dered the paragraphs cut out, and served notice on their readers that the concerns uwere not reputable.

The prescription Is simple, and can be made up by anyone at home.

The ingredients can be had at any good prescription pharmacy and all that is necessary is to shake them well in a bottle. Here It is: Fluid extract dandelion, one-half ounce; compound Kargon, one ounce; compound syrup sarsaparllla, three ounces. Take a teaspoonful after each meal and at bedtime. A few doses is said to relieve almost any case of bladder trouble, frequent pain and scalding, weakness and backache, pain above the kidneys, etc. It is now claimed to be the method of curing chronic rheumatism, because of its direct and positive action upon the elim-inative tissues- of the kidneys.

It cleanses these sponge-like organs and gives them life and power to sift and strain the poisonous waste matter and uric acid from the blood relieving the worst forms of Rheumatism and kidney and bladder troubles. The extract dandelion acts upon the stomach and liver and Is used also extensively for relieving constipation and indigestion. Compound sarsaparllla cleans and enriches the blood.

There ain't no use. I can't describe it to you. I managed to get my breath and tell 'em I had a number of professional men writing for me under contract, and really wasn't able to handle any more manuscripts, no matter how valuable. If I'd had an enemy in the Alley, I'd have referred them to him. I was real kind to them, but they seemed to take it quite to heart.

The litle old lady stuck her nose up in the air and rustled her skirts down the hall, and the man shook his head at me, and told me I was missing a great chance. 'Allow me to say, a very great chance, sir the chance of introducing a premier artiste to the country. That was all I could stand. I grabbed my hat, and run into the stockroom and closed the door." A STREET OP MANY NOISES. "Tin Pan Alley" is a street of many noises.

As one walks along it, from a window across the street the voices of a male quartet roar out a comic song, while opposite a woman's soprano cuts in with some pathetic words about, "The dear old farmhouse by the silver brook. The cosy fire that warms the inglenook, A mother's care that make's the homestead dear, and many voices raised in childish cheers." Just as the soprano reached. the most pathetic part, a tinkling piano accompanied by a near-tenor recited, in a lilting "coon song," troubles of a certain ilr. Hiram 'Rastus Washington Jones, who had "spent all his money, and gives up his bones" whatever that might mean. "Sure thing," said a second publisher, affably, "we do have all kinds of freaks coming in here.

I'd be mighty glad to shoo em away, but of course, we have to be polite and make believe consider their stuff. It don't go, though. Not that we claim to be infallible in Judging material. Some of the greatest songs on the market today were turned down on every side, and finally sold for a song. Take 'My for instance.

The lad who wrote the verses for that offered 'em to me for $3, and finally got $15. I could mention any number of others. 'Love Me and the World Is Mine' lay in the publisher's safe for five years because he didn't think it would go. I've got a song on the market today that was turned down on every side. I expect it will run to several hundred thousand copies.

"It's really an art to write good lyrics, let alone music. One of the big firms along here has two men under a $20,000 yearly contract to write verses. The ordinary lyric writer has to have his product rearanged to suit the melody. It's the man with the 'talent for the work who can string you off verses that will fit the tune at the first crack. "Another fault we have to find with the amateur writers is that they make their verses too long.

If you will analyze them you will find that the songs by the more famous writers are always short and snappy that the chorus is longer than the verses in the majority of cases. Amateurs are likely to give us a four line chorus, which is long enough. Then there must be only so many words and syllables to a line. An amateur never gets that Just right. "As a matter of fact, the men who have really written the most popular songs are probably never heard of.

They are hacks, who sell all the rights to their words or music to some publisher, who puts them on the market as the work of a well-known author or singer Its a general secret in the trade that the most popular singing actors who claim to write their own music actually have the greater number of their songs written for them. Altogether the rural geniuses, and. for that matter, the would-be geniuses right here in this city. too. could spend their time better chopping wood than writing song-poems.
