MY CHARMING LITTLE HOUSE
KEEPER.

She dusts the Sevres and bric-a-brac
With just the daintlest little knack,
And always puts my papers back
My charming little housekeeper.
Rare jellies makes-merinpue and creams
More fair than ever poets dreams
Like driited snow, your frosting CLEANS
My charming little housekeeper.
Nor doth the prose Of cooking slight.
Her bread is sweet, and white and light,
Her biscuits are a goodly sight
(Ah, charming little housckeeper.)
She reads with me the magazines,
Although to one she always leans;
She makes the most artistic screens
Ny charming little housekeeper.
She sings to me with dulcet voice
(Fair PATHS notes are not so chOice),
She doth my classic soul rejoice
My charming little hOusekeeper.
What wonder that love her-then-
As muoh-and even more-than when
Last May, the church beside the glen

Received bright and joyous throng,
Rich voices swelled marriage song,
To me you promised to belong

When Will England Learn to be Just and
Wise in Time III Her Dealings With
"Poor Unfortunate Old Ireland"

That an Irish measure Of vital inn
portance should, on it's first presenta-
tion, be defeated by large majority in
the English Parliament, is not a matter
greatly to be wondered at. This has
ever been the case in the past. The
misfortune in the relations between
England and Ireland is that England
has never known how to be wise and
Just in time. A bitter contest has taken
place over every Irish demand, and
concession has finally been made only
when greater difficulties have been ap-
pretended by holding out than by sur
rendering. 1t is extraordinary that
Engiishmen, while fully admitting the
errors Of the policy of delay, still deal
with the great Irish question at the
present as their ancestors dealt with
the great Irish questions Of the past,
How humiliating it must be now for
Englishmen to read the history of Irish
agitation for the past eighty-six years!
How unwise to learn nothing by its
study. In 1906 the question of Catholic

GLADST0NE's OFFER OF PEACE.
The Tories Can Rest Assured that the
Lovers of Freedom Will be Free
at any Cost.

What will be the policy of the Sails
bury administration towards ireland
yet remains a matter that only the fu-
ture can determine. The idea prevails
to an alarming extent that the Tory
leader will endeavor to force the Irish
people into humiliating submission,
and that he will pursue an exceedingly
harsh system of coercion towards that
downtrodden race. The spirit that has
remained unbroken through centuries
of cruel treatment will again be tor
tured in the fruitless endeavor to crush
out the remaining spark.
Others believe that Salisbury will
offer Ireland some kind Of a modifica-
tion Of the present system Of country
government, but the Irish people have
demanded a Parliament Of their own,
and they will accept nothing short of
that. Depend upon it that the lovers
of freedom will be free.

hazard anything approaching to cen

Liberal sympathizers behind the Irish
members, would be preposterous.

slipped away from him, itmust be re-

very slight. He won it last autumn by

expected. They have held On to the
seat they won last year in England. as
well as to 93of their IS Irish seats, and,
in addition: they have carried a con-

autumn. They come back to Parlia-

What Gan the Tories Do.

1t would be an evil day for England
if the power of the Tories were equal to
their spite. But, as it is, the eructa-
tions of their malignity are nothing but
wind. Their threats and rawlings give
the measure of their appetite, not of
their capacity. How can they gag Mr..
Parneu with Mr.. Gladstone at his
back? How can they root out the Ma
tional Land and Labor League when
nearly three hundred members of Par
lament are it's agents or its beneficial
ries. Irishmen cannot be goaded into
forfeiting the solid ground already won.

the mother country, and, far from a
scheme of ruling by discord and coer-
cion, TO reconcile them to each other.
Gladstone offered to the electors of
Great Britain and Ireland scheme
that, had it been accepted, would have
undoubtedly inspired confidence IL the
minds of the suffering Irish people TO-
wards the governing power of the Brit
ish empire, and his proposition bas
been refused.
On the other hand what are we led to
believe the Tories will offer? Ireland,
they admit, is a noble object-it is an
object we'll worth fighting for and it
certainly is. But will fighting have
the effect OF forcing the people into
peaceful submission for any extended
length Of time. Those who understand
the military art will, Of course, have
some predilection for it. Those who
WELD the thunder of the state may have
great confidence in the efficiency of
arms. But people who take a reason
able and honorable view of the matter
are much more in favor of prudent
management than force, considering
force not only as an odious but a feeble
instrument for preserving a people so
numerous, so active, SO growing. so
spirited as the Irish, in a profitable and
peaceful connection with the British
empire.
Che Illustration on this page depicts
truthfully the result OF the two policies
--conciliation and coercion. One repre-
sents that peace and prosperity which
would be the outcome of Gladstone's
policy and the poverty and defiant de-
spair which will follow coercion.

WHAT WUUy

liaments of the past that have tyran-
nized over Ireland, one assertion re-
mains incontrovertible, that under
them that unfortunate country has
been kept in continual state of agita-
tion. Everything administered as a
remedy to the complaint under which
they were suffering, if it did not pro-
duce has at least been followed by a
beightening OF the distemper, until by
variety Of experiments Ireland has
been brought into her present situa~
tion-a situation so dreadful that even a
mind capable of corceiying the most
demoniacal horrors cannot exaggerate.
Mr.. Gladstone offered proposition
which would have fully conciliated the
Irish people. That proposition was
peace. Not the peace brought about by
war; not peace to be hunted through
the labyrinth of intricate and endless
negotiations not peace to arise out Of
universal discord, fomented from pr;n-
ciple, in all parts Of the empire not
peace to depend on the jlridicial deter
mination Of perplexing questions, or
the precise marking the shadowy boun-
daries of a complex government. 1t
was simple peace sought in it's natu-
raj course and its ordinary haunts. It
was a peace sought in the spirit of
peace by those who were delegated by
the Irish people to champion her cause,
and laid in principles purely pacific. It
was a peace similar to that which the
great Edmund Burke proposed to ex-
tend to the American colonies in nov
ing his resolutions for conciliation with
America in the British House of Com
mons on the 22nd day Of March, l775.

olics to Parliament, and cOnsenting to

of 28l to 12e. It was on thai occasion

In 1909, Grattan brought forward the
question again, and was again defeated
by 2l3 to 100 votes. Lord Castlereagh
said upon this occasion, that he did not
:smean to force the Protestant mind -
and accordingly did not support the
Irish leader. In 1911 Grattan once
more was up aud doing; but he was
again defeated by majority Of 146 to

claims of the Catholics into considera-
ton. was rejected in the Commons by

Speaker (Abbott) moved an amend

every privilege except that Of sitting

amendment was carried by 25l to 247

From the oId-tIIne standard OF one gallon

boast OF getting even five gallons or whis-
