Government, however, they will have to pay
for the removal of the village, which now
stands on its site, and this will, it is sup

At Delphi was the great oracle of the
Grecian cult of Apollo, and it was here that
some of the greatest of the Grecian games
were celebrated. The Grecian oracles and
their temples had great treasures, and the
Temple of Apollo had, in tb time of Plinv,
5000 statues. When Sulla .sieged Athens
'86 he paid his troops out of the treasures
of Delphi, and it NAV be that under this
village there are pecks of gold cups and gold
vases, to say nothing of historical relics and
works of fine art.
PROUD OF THEIR HISTORY.
The modern Greeks are asmuch interested
IN these excavations as are the scientists of
Europe and America. They are proud of
their history and there are several gangs of
men now at work on the Acropolis. As
drove up to the Parthenon yesterday saw
halt dozen men digging out the dirt from
the side of the hill and carrying it away in
great baskets upon their heads. Just ont
side the Parthenon other excavators were at
WORK, and the museum of the Acropolis con-
ta1ns number of new discoveries. Athens

swelling buds, no thunder peals to tel

when spring unfolds her leafy banners

the work of nature flows noiselessly on

Goo who works thus silently in ma

have been the product Of secret causes
working unnoticed and unknown and
bringing to pass the most wonderful
events imaginable.
Let US take courage then If we be
called to work in silence unnoticed and

in ultimate results than the works Of

shall abide the burning ordeal, and
shall ensure to him great reward.

He wants us to come to Milwaukee
To attend the Encampment show.
You know, Matilda, Oh Tom and me
Fought side by side in the battle,
And he was al ways asmilln'
When the bullets began to rattle.
We both fit side by side
Thro' the long and bloody war,
And now we're goin' to meet again
With the loyal G.. A. r.
Thar's one thing certain, Matilda,
You know I've always said
If old Tom and me ever met
We'd paint Milwaukee red.
Well give her coat of vermlllion,
TITS color I've long admired,
And we'll whoop her up for the Amer

Till we both get awfully tired.

No More Irish-Amer1cans Need Apply

Not many weeks ago an Irish-Ameri-
CAP Republican journal announced with
a great parade Of trumpets that E.
ON. Condor would be sent to Rome by
this administration as consul. Another
man, however, and he not an Irish
American, was recently appointed to
that post, and it begins to look as if the
report was true that the administration
had hung out sligo to the effect that
no Irish Americans need apply to it for
favors. This looks bad for FinertY.

a Word of announcement.

DEAR II. L. C. FRIENDs-From the depths
Of the interest l still feel for the club and the
sympathy for the cause | send you warm
greeting. 1t would have given me great pleas
ure to make one of your number, but as that
is impossible will allow this letter TO represent
me there. Ii was very painful to me to have to
believe the II. L. c. dead, as 1t has been
spoken OF. But now, that there Is
TO be resurrection, shall not member
of the club look forward with intense anxi-
ETY. to the results of that day? The II. l.. c. is
based upon grand and noble principles, and if
it will only build upon them. it will yet rear a
structure that will be a guiding star to many
and many a wayfarer in the journey OF llie
And could we possibly do greater work than
this? No mercenary pursuits can ever equal
those of doing good TO our fellow beings. In
view of these things let US hope that all con-
troverses may be dropped that are
not conducive to the best interests OF the
club, and that its members will all work to-
gether earnestly and tremendously, letting
these side-winds pass by in silence on our part,
and they viii soon cease to blow at all. But
trust that right will prove to be might in the
case OF the III. /. c. 1t sometimes takes dlsap-
Pointment and persecution to purify and mt us
for some great undertaking. Are not the OBJ
jects of the II. L. &. really great?
Dear brothers and sisters, am sure we Will
feel so, one and all, if we will but be true to
them. Such work as the principles of the
club suggest is needed everywhere. Let us not
be slow IN espousing it with our whole hearts
And now far the ii. J.. {. is willing TO
abide by its first principles. give 1t my hand
and heart wishing the club with its high aims
a hearty God-speed. Yours ever for the right,
MARY OF CHAMPAIGN.

Farm Nntes.

Digup the dahlia roots before frost and store
them in the cellar in boxes, the roots covered
with dry sand.
Farmers should bear in mind that any night
may bring a frost at this season of the year,
and they should be fully prepared for the dan
ger.
Young pear trees that have blighted will
sometimes send out shoots low down near the
roots Such shoots may grow and give the en-
couragement of start, but it is better to
dig the trees up and put something else in their
place.
The "nose-fy" damages the sheep at this
season, the maggOt finding lodgment in the
upper part of the nostril, frequently causing
death. The best preventive is to smear wood
tar on the nOstrils, the odor of which prevents
the fly from attacking the sheep.
1t is claimed by strawberry growers that a
mulch will regulate the season of strawberry
fruiting. Ii the mulch is kept on during the
winter and removed early, and double guam
tity put on others, the bearing season can be
better prolonged than by using late or early
varieties.
On very soft, sandy soils the recent storm
saturated the earth, and the force of the winds
caused heayy-tOp peach trees to loosen and
bend over so as to nearly touch the ground
This was not the case, however, where the grass
was thick around the trunk, only those trees
that were we'll cultivated being forced over.
Root crops should be well dried before being
stored Mounds outside should be made water
tight, but wisp of straw should be inserted to
permit of ventilation. Roots are seldom in
jured by cold if properly protected, but two
much warmth will Immediately damage them.
When a mound is frozen on the surface there is
then but little danger of injury if the roots are
well covered
