The girl who marries for money may deserve a divorce without alimony. The popularity of "Sweet Ma rie" is well within the memory o" the present generation. It is one of the few songs within the past twenty years that swept the coun try like wild-lire. Fifteen year ago every one was sinking and whiMiing "Sweet Marie." the binds and orchestra-, were playing it, ii was ground out on the merry-go-rounds and the street pianos, and there was an epidemic of parents naming their children lor the heroine ol the song. There wa ; a ru-di lo have the name copy righted for all sorts of commercial purposes, and hardly a Mary in the country in tli.it day but began to sign her name Marie. Nothing like its wide vogue had been ex perienced in very many years. The author of this song, Cy Warmaii, i-. still living, as well as the singer, Kayman Moore, to whose fine voice, more than any thing else, is attributed the popu larity of the song. Mr. Warman himself tells the story of how the song came to his mind as follows: i The sun had just gone down be hind the hoary hills, flooding the J tine twilight with its gold and glory, j Having finished my dinner 1 had j strolled out to take a turn beneath the maple trees that line the walk about the court house. Honey laden, homeward hound, belated bees dropped in the trees, and all the world seemed filled with the sound and scent of summer. "Here I would walk and watch out the dying day, and breathe the pure air fresh from the snow fields of the north. Here, loo, 1 hoped to win a good-night smile, for down this way she was to pass to the theater -with another man. 1 was turning the corner when she came. Face to face we met, and such a smile! there was a world of tenderness in it, and, with a man's conceit, I fancied there was some thing back of it. "I wondered, too, if she had guessed my scret, and while the sound of her carriage wheels were stili in my ears 1 said, half aloud: "I've a secret in my heart. Sweet Marie, A tale 1 would imparl. Love to thee. "And then, as a man has been ' drunk with wine imagines that ev erybody knows it, 1 felt that my secret was out, and I had gone less than a doen yards when I finished the half stana: "F.very daisy in the dell Knows my secret- knows it well And yet I dare not tell, Sweet Marie. "Then the whole song came rushing upon me like a mountain stream after a cloud burst. Like a gleam of glory in a gob of gloom it came fast and Hooded my soul and filled me with joy. On I walk edsang my new song and gloried jn it as a happy mother glories iin ' the first faint smile of a new born babe. "When more people and the ! stars came out, and there was no longer room for the wide wings of my muse, I boarded a cable car and went out to the very shadows of the hiils. Then the white moon ' came up from the. plains, making one of those matchless moonlit nights thai invariably tollow a per fect day in Denver. The tired lawn mower that had struggled all day against a vigorous brass band at last laid down and the mellow notes of the tuba came faint and far away. "Far into the night 1 sat there saying ii o'er and o'er, til! the line was fixed in my memory. "1 gave the manuscript to Mr. Fdward S.

"I repeated and remembered the notes he sang and when a year later Will T.

"It happened that about the firsi faint echoes of the song reach ed the Rocky Mountains we start ed Fast and listened with eager ears to hear it sung. "The black boy on the Burling ton dusked bis pillows and hum med that tune. At Chicago we heard it often. At Cleveland a man pounded the wheels with a hard hammer and sang softly, as to himself. "As we sat at dinner in the Im perial in New York the orchestra played it and where we shopped 1 the shop girls sang it, and even as we exchanged congratulatory! smiles a wild-toned street piano i played "Sweet Marie" in the street. "At Manhattan Beach we had . the great joy of hearing Sousa's band play it; heard Kayman sing it in a theater in town; then Mr. Moure and I went over to see the Manhattan Publishing Company. From there we went to No. S Broad Street, where each received a cheek for more money, we thought, than there was in the tiorld "Hov. 'll you have ii r" asked a cheery voice, as we faced the tell i r in a Nassau Street Siivct bark. "Big pieces," said I. "And you." "Two one thousand, two rive hundred and the rest in ones," said Kayman. And as the money man began to slide out the notes he said, "I've a secret in my heart." But that was as far as he got, for we both laughed -no! at him, of course, but it was time to laugh."
