hoping that they will appreciate the fact that
"Just Someone" is the point of the story.
Two weeks before Will R. Anderson went on
his vacation, he notified the worthy farmer at
Narrowsburg, N. Y., where he is stopping, that
he would be there. Someone tipped the rural
gentleman that Mr. Anderson was a song writer,
so he made his preparations for the reception of
his guest accordingly. Mr. Anderson's future
landlord hied himself to the nearest town where
there was a music store and purchased several
copies of the song writer's beautiful ballad, "Just
Someone," which has reached the country sec-
tions as well as the city in its phenomenal wave
of popularity. When Mr. Anderson reached the
farm they were all singing "Just Someone," from
the father of the family to the youngest child.
Johnny, the eleven-year-old son, was particu-
larly persistent in singing the song as he went
about his work out in the summer kitchen and
pantry, which was detached from the house.
Finally, after he had sung the song all morning,
Mr. Anderson, in desperation, went out and tried
to stop him, but Johnny persisted in his vocal
efforts.
"Do you like the song so well that you cannot
stop singing it?" Mr. Anderson asked him.
"Naw!" replied the boy in disgust, "'taint the
old song, it's 'cause maw told me to sing all the
time I was out here, so that I wouldn't git in ter
her blackberry pies and eat them afore dinner.
She knows that I can't sing and eat at the
same time!"
