The True Irish hman the Most Approachable
of Human Beings.

The True Irishman the Most Approachabl.
of Human Beings.
The diet of the Irishman in this part
of the country is. of course. potatoe;
and milk. As he himself puts it, he
has potatoes twenty-one times week
In the event of blight, such as the
historic one, the result in certain part:
of Ireland could scarcely be less disas'
trous than at any former period. L
one may Judge by the physique of it;
consumers, the diet requires no recon-
mendation of the medical faculty, for
a more stalwart race it would be diff.
cult to find. In this corner of the
country so long preserved" we
shodld expect to find the natural Irish
man, and we certainly found him. The
native Irish is almost universally
spoken. but at the same time the ma
| jOrity of the younger generation speak
English with a brOgue of the most ex-
quisite flavor. Here, also, we have the
lrishman in the typical attire to which
caricaturists have accustomed us. To
the visitor from the other island, it is a
ludicrous picture to see him in tall hat,
blue-tailed coat and knee-breeches at
work in his wretched plot, like phi
losopher out for little recreation. 1t
is not so much the style of his gar
ments, however, that makes his pictur-
esqueness; it is their positively miracu-
lous raggedness. We feel that
this raggedness has quite passed
the stage of disreputability. and has
actually become ornamentatiOn. But
it is, above all, the hat that fixes the at
tention. We have often closely in
spected it and our wonder never
ceased how, in the course OF single
life, any hat, however weather-beaten
and however brutally used, could at
tain that pre-Adamite look. 1t is the
great charm of travel in Ireland that
one can become acquainted with its
people in so short time and on such
easy terms. The Irishman is the most
approachable of human beings, and as
the very Irishman the stranger wishes
to know is in most cases his own lord
and master, intercourse is thus made
doubly easy. If in the course of q
solitary walk you should desire the
solace of little conversation, you have
but to take your seat on one of the
turf walls that form the fences in these
parts of the country. If You are a
smoker and produce your pipe, you
will present an additional inducement.
Before you are well seated you will be
saluted with: "A fine day, sir, God be
praisedr' and careless figure will be
seen approaching with spade or pick
axe over his shoulder. Sharing your
tobacco with him. it will remain with
Yourself to conclude the interview.
Before ten minutes have passed you
will have had the outlines of his family
history and his views on things in
general, not even excepting his priest
At the end of as many hours conver-
sation as you please he will speed you
on your way with a fervent ''God pre-
serve you longn' and part with you as
if you had been his lifelong friend

the correctness of G"ode's statement Ii is
not only uncOntradicted but Is fully sup
ported by all the witnesses who testified
about the same matters. He was rot
connected with any telephone company, had
no interest of any kind to be affected by
the suit, and had no knowledge of any pre-

it would doubtless have been better to have
referred the application to the Department
Of the Interior, as such had BEEN the pTac-
tice, notwithstanding he ALREADY had all
the information attaiDable. Then his fail

Referring to the Columbus suit, the re-

the otter msde by the petitioners to meet

rope, he laid the circle at the edge of
the rock. put the thong around pro-
jecting point of stone. and lowered the
end to the earth below, and then went
down to await the coming of Winona.
when he heard the death song from
the young squaw's lips, he grasped the
rope firmly. Winona wound her shawl
around her breast and then put the moose
around her body under her arms, and
was ready for the leap. A wild CRY
rang out and Little Coon, who was a
very stout young brave, held tightly
and let the little squaw down.
AT the same time he pushed with
his foot a large, round stone from its
resting place, and it went splashing in
to the waters of Lake Pepin. As soon
as Winona touched the earth she and
her Chippewa lover ran to the water
where the canoe of Little Coon was
lying. and they padded away. The
long rope was taken with them. They
swept quickly up the smooth surface
OF the pretty Pepin, and when the light
came they were hidden in a thicket
where Little Coon had left some food.
when the sun went down again
they hurried away from the big river
to the east and when light came they
hid agan. After long journey they
came to another river and when this
was crossed they were in Canada.
Here they lived with new names and
became friends of the whites and no
one knew the truth. The Dakotas
knew Winona was dead and the Chip
pewas thought Little Coon killed at the
hands of the enemies. 1 have heard
the story many times"
And did they never return to the
Mississippi" l asked.
No, they never went back to their
people and their people never knew
they lived"

The Universalist General Couven-
ton, at Akron, Ohio, wound up with
a hoax. Some waggish student sent
printed cards to about one hundred
OF the delegates, inviting them to take
dinner at the house of DIR. Cone, pres
ident of the college. At the appoint
ed hour the divines turned up, swarm
ing all over the house of the president,
much to the dismay of the good doc
tor and his wife. Some took the Joke
good-naturedly, but others let out on
the offending joker IN manner that
had no regard for the Uniwersalist
creed.

A year ago bogus dispatch was
sent from Washington saying that
Senator Pike had dropped dead in the
street on the way to his office. To
some newspaper men who called on
him that evening he said: This bo-
gus dispatch has accurately described
the manner of my taking off | shall
die just as suddenly as that person
described. | shall 90 out like flash,
without moments warning, save
what my doctor has given me-" Just
one year to day from that date,
says the Washington Post, Senator
Pike dropped dead while on his way
to his Office.

I,oSpoN, Oct. 27.--Details have
heen received of the massacre of ma
tive Christians, at Uganda, Africa, by
order of King M'Wanga. The mas
sacre began in June, and was directly
due to the refusal of Christian lad,
acting as the Kings page, to commit
an abominable crime. Many Chris
fans were tortured, mutllated and
speared, and thi:ty-two were burned
alive together. The appeals OF mis-
s;onaries for a cessation of the atroci-
ties we're unavailing. The fate OF
these unfortunates did not serve to
fripbten the candidates for baptism
and within a week after the massacre
MANY natives were baptized at their
own desire. Pamphlets containing
extracts from scripture, prayers and
songs, in the Ugunda language, are
freely bought by the people, although
their possession involves danger of
punishment. The diary of Bishop
Harrington, who was put to death by
the King, will soon be published in
London. 1t is thrilling and pathet-
ic narrative of his experiences in
Ugunda up to the day of his death.

"A certain editor of a weekly news
paper made it practice of stopping

nothing more important to announce
than dog fight. One week every
thing was as dull as Patent Office

out as follows: ave stop the press
to announce that nothing has occurred
since we went to press of sufficient
interest to induce us to stop the press

Ten pounds of earth from the re-
puted tomb of Christ and bushel of
relics from the Holy Land composed
a large portion of Father Tarat's bag
gage when he landed from the steam
ship Wisconsin in New York the 9TH

showing that he was a priest at Jer-
usalem for a number of years and a
brother of the Order of Jesuits. In
speaking of his peculiar stock of
treasures he said that the earth was
gathered by him for the purpose of
aiding him to establish mission here.
The earth was done up in small par
GELS holding about quarter of a
drachm each. These he sells for
twenty-five cents apiece. The earth
is soft and velvety, and white as the

THE AMES MEETING.

The effort to organize an Ames club
last Saturday night was partially success
FIJI, although it took an immense amount
of hard work on the part of the Veteran
Drum Corps to get hundred and fifty
people together. Some estimate the at
tendance at less than this number, but
we believe in giving the 'lOst cause
the benefit of the doubt. Ofthoso pres
ent about one-half were Republicans and
Prohibitionists.
The meeting was one of the tamest
political gatherings ever held in the
city. Ex-senator Wilkinson was inn
ported to "draw" crowd, failing i'm
which he labored hard to- create IL little
enthusiasm, but he signally failed in
this. The speaker took occasion to re-
hash the stale and thread-bare argument
against the Minneapolis millers, and the
terrible corruption of the Republican
party, but the few who listened to his
harrangue were too intelligent to take
any stock in his wild ramblngs.
