From ap Exchange.
"Down went McGinty to the bottom
Of the sea-"
That's the refrain which greets your
ears now wherever you turn. 1t has

why; but it has. Everybody huns it.
The song runs as follows:
Soonday marnin' just at nine,
Dan McGinty, dressed so fine,
Shtood lpokin' up agin a high stone wall;
When his young friend, Pat Nc Jann,
Siz, "Oi'll bet you foiver Dan,
Oh KIN carry yez to the top without fall!'
So on his shoulder he took Dan,
And to climb the lad began,
AM twas very near he did to rache the
top;
When McGinty, thinking thin
That the fover he would win.
Let 60 his houli an TUX an awful drop!
CHORUS.
Down went McGinty to the bottom Of
the wall
And .ho' he won the f0ive,
Twas more dead he was than aloivo,
Wild ribs an nose an back broke from
the fall
Dressed in his best shoot av clothes!
From the hospital McGinty went
home,
When they'd fixed aich broken bone,
To find he was the father av a choild;
So to celebrate it roght
Friends he wnt out to invote.
nd soon was drinkin' whisky fast and
woild!
As he wandered down the strate,
In his Soonday shoot so nate,
Wild head d hould up proud as John the
SIfeat,
in the sidewalk was a hole,
For to rcssve tou av coal,
That Nc Ginty never saw till just too late.
CHORUS.
Down wint McGinty! to the bottom av
the hole,
And the driver Az the CART F-
Bedad ht gave the Goals = star-rt,
An, 1t took us an hour to dig McGinty
from the coal
Dressed in hest shoot av clothes
When McGinty, thin an pale,

An to his wilc--hs birdy Ann
But she had skipped the rope an tux th'

Then he gave up IN despair
And pluckci all his ripcst hair!
Then in an hour he stood by the river

An. knowin' well he cud not swim,
He did foolishly jump In,
Although water no had never TUX before!

AN HISTORIC MANSION.
Destruction by Fire Of n House Famed In
New York History,


New York History.
An interesting old mansion was de-
stroyed by fire in this town recently, a
mansion whose history dates back be-
yond the revolutionary war. To the
present generation it was known as the
watson Webb house." from the name
of its owner in the early part Of the
present century. Although the old
mansion was the scene of many a merry
making in colonial days, and saw many
a bloody ARRAY in the revolutionary war,
being on debatablo ground when the
British were trying to cut their way
through to New York from Lake Cham
plain and Saratoga, and, although Gen.
eral Lafayette was sheltered under its
roof, it is, perhaps, best remembered as
the spot where the verses were written
beginning:
Twas the night before Christmas, when oil
through the house
Not creature was stirring, not oven
mouse.
1t was in 1904 when Kiliaen Hoge.
boom left Amsterdam to take possession
of a tract of land eight miles square,
now including Claverack, three miles
from the Hudson river and to the east of
the city of Hudson. 1t was purchased
from Chancellor Livington. Kiliaen
Hogeboom's son Jacobus began building
the old mansion in 1927. 1t had gener-
Gus halls and big rooms and had front.
age of sixty-three feet, along which ran
a capacious porch. Over the porch
clambered an ivy, which, as years rolled
by, struck it's roots deeper and wider in
to the soil, and extended its shade over
portico and mansion. The interior was
finished in the highest style of Dutch
art. The fireplaces were tiles illustra-
ting scriptural subjects, and were brought
from Amsterdam. The mantels were of
wood and were quantity and curiously
carved, and mural paintings served for
a picture gallery. 1t is said that the
furniture and expensive hric-a-brac
brought from the old country made the
mansion one of the most delightful
places to be seen at that time in the
Hudson river valley, and that Dutch
hospitality made the spot famous for
good living up and down the river.
1t was during the revolutionary war
that the house was most famous for its
hospitality. The property had descended
to General Samuel Webb, an officer in the
Continental army. General Webb had
married the granddaughter OF Jacobus
Hogeboom. 1t was when Lafayette was on
visit to General Webb that LAFAYETTE
etched on a window pane with his ola
mond ring his name and the date Of his
visit.
A later generation found the old place
in the possession of Benjamin Moore,
who had married into the Hogeboom
family, and at his death it became the
joint property of his seven daughters
and two sons, and from them it descend
ed to the present owners, Henry James
and the heirs of the late Augustus
Thinning. Horatio G. Adams also has
life interest in the property, his wife
being one of Mr.. Moore's daughters. 1t
was when Clement Moore, a son of Ben
jamin Moore, was young man that he
wrote "'Twas the night before Christ

Contagious Blood Diseases.

The horror of blood diseases is the fact
that they are contagious. Eczema, Salt,
rheum, Itch, and other skin diseases may
be contracted by using the same towel, and
thus it frequently happens whole family
becomes affected with the disease some
member has contracted elsewhere. 1t is
obviously the sacred duty of any one who
suffers from blood disease to rid their sys-
tenn of the impurity. This can easily and
quickly be done by using DR.. Bulls Sarsa-
parilla, the only perfectly safe and complete
blood purifier in the world. Its virtue is
exclusively it's own, and no other medicine
can compare with it in strength or efficacy.
Any druggist will get it for you Take no
other. Observe it's size and test its virtue.
