redcoat yolley was poured into the ad-
vancing body of green coated police
men. And for o moment it was not
unlike real battle, for the policemen,
enraged by the deaths and wounds of
that volley, responded unerringly with
Royal Irish green coated shower of
bullets.
The result of the affair was uneven
the royal Irish constabnlary are much
better shots than the military. Icannot
tell with any accuracy how many were
killed on both sides, but do know that
there were mlny more on each side than
the entire n1.nber Of Fenians, whose
blood they We're looking for" But the
most tragic part of this episode has yet
to come. Against the advice of his COM
panions, Peter O'Neill Crowley said,
"Tis no use trying to escape; but I'll
pink few redcoats before they get me
dead or alive" And just when the
sun was breaking in the heavens and
the clouds had rolled away, he rushed
down the woody slope and into the
stream.
Armed with two reyolyers, he waded
up the stream, and as he waded dis

Peter O'Neill Crowley had given his
life doing battle for Ireland.
His was the last life that was given in
battle for Ireland. Today, close to the
spot where he died, there stands Celtic
cross, and generations Of Irishmen 'yet

DEAN SWIFT OUTWITTED.
His Servant Was All Irish and the Des
nj Half

His Servant Was All Irish and the Dean
Only Half.
The famous Dean Swift, though of
English blood, had absorbed good deal
of the Irish nature-especially in the
line of wit and humor Many are the
anecdotes of his talks with his Irish
servant. Tricky as the young fellow
was, the dean found he was honest and
dependable. so lie took him into his
service
Once, when they were setting out on
a journey, the dean saw that his boots
were not polished, and he spoke of it.
oh" says the servant, "what 'ud be
the use of polishing? They would be as
spattered as ever before night" "Oh
very we'll" They were after riding
seven or eight miles and were passing a
house of entertainment. Master" says
the boy, "don't you think it time to get
breakfast!' Zach, what use would it
be? We'd be as hungry as ever before
sunset" There the boy was circum-
vented anyway. He said nothing, but
kept riding after his master, dismal
enough. The dean, to vex him the more,
took out book and began to read, jog
ging on easy.
By and by gentleman met them
He touched his hat to the dean, and
when he came near the boy asked him
the name of the clergyman. "Musha,
an don't you know, sir? That it is the
great Dane Swift! Did you never see
him before?' mo, indeed; but often
hear tell of him. And pray where are
you going? "To heaven, straight. "
"Well, | think you're astray." "Not a
bit astray or mistaken, sir. My masters
praying and I'm fasting" The boy did
not speak so low but that the dean
might hear him. He did hear him, and
the next inn they passed he ordered a
good breakfast for both.

Father Molyneux. who was now unable

"Well, sir" continued Leblanc, IF

"Thank your reverencer said Ned,
who in All elysium of expectancy,
whipped up the old horse, and they soon
arrived at the chapel door.
Before the mass began Father Molly

many chubby little son and daughter
of Erin delightedly handed "Fader

blessed those little children and spoke

But he was looking for Minnie, and

prostrated, and his mother declared tC
more than one neighbor that she feared
his brain was affected
SO matters went on until st. Patrick
morning Then strange ray OF hope
came into Ned's heart. and it was
the more strange because it was the
day that Pratt had fixed for Minnie to
sign her promise to marry him. But
the strategy of an Irish lover is pro.
verbal, and Ned OWNED a peculiarly
original plan to win his love at the very
altar
AS Father Molyneuxs home was several
miles from Glengarriffe, and he was toe
poor to enjoy the luxury of horse and
car, Ned drove over for him every Sun
day and holiday morning. And it was
during this drive that, on the Patrick's
morning in question, Ned unfolded tc
him his love for Minnie and his plan tc
win her from the agent.
And why didn't you speak to her be-
fore?" asked the priest
"Begor, your reverence. hadn't the
courage"
Father Molyneuz laughed and said:
"And how do you propose to win he1
from Pratt, Ned? If the girl likes him,
it isn't likely she'd give him up for your
"But know she doesn't like him, sir ,
How do you know?'
"Wisha, can't tell ye, your rever
ence; but as sure as the ould mare is il
front of us believe she hates him.
"And | dare say, from the same rea
soning. you believe she loves YOURSELF"
"Begor. ye have it, sir. That's just it.
This amused the priest intensely, but
he was very much attached to both Min
ME and Ned, so he inquired again:
"Wel, what do you propose to do?"
81 was thinkin, sir, that whin your
reverence would ask the question, that
could answer it instead of Pratt"

One thousand years ago, and more,
The Irish flag waved high;
And not alone on Erins shore
Or meath an Irish sky,
But where the Alps like giants tower,

The Oft Told Snake Story,

1t was first set down in writing by
Joceline, long after Saint Patrick's death,
that he collected all the reptiles of poi
sonous species at Cruagh Patricia
mountain a few miles south of West
port, Mayo county, Ireland-and drove
them into the ocean. The exemption of
Ireland from snakes and toads was noted
long before the arrival Of Saint Patrick
Solinus, who wrote a hundred years be-
fore, mentions the fact, so do Bede and
Isidore. Donatus, bishop of Fesula,
near Florence, in Latin poem describ-
ing Ireland, his native country, has this
passage:
Her waving burrows float with bearded corn,
And arms and arts her envied sons adorn;
No savage bear with careless fury roves.
Nor ravenous lion through her peaceful groves;
No poison there infects; no scaly snakes
Creep through the grass, nor frogs annoy the
lakes,
An island worthy of her pious race,
In war triumphant and unmatched in peace.

She Is rich and rare land;
Oh, she's fresh and fair land
She is dear and rare land
This native land of mine.
No men than hers are braver-
Her women's hearts ne'er wayer;
I'd freely die to save her
And think my lot divine.
She's not dull or cold land
No! she's warm and bold land:
Oh, she's true and old land
This native land of mine.
Could beauty ever guard her.
And virtue still reward her,
No foe could cross her border.
No friend within it pine.
Oh, she's fresh and fair landl
Oh, she's true and rare landi
Yes she's a rare and fair land

tho most terrible war instrument ever
produced. Experiments made at the
Interbogk ranges deeply impressed the
experts, the Kaiser being present. The
first shot, fired at a target placed fifty
PAGES from wood, missed the target,
but ploughed its way through the wood
1,5OO feet. The splinters of a shell burst
by the new powder over a circle of 900
feet. A shell fired at an enormous tar
get, constructed by the Emperor's orders
covered it with tens Of thousands of
holes. A battery Of the new artillery
would, it is assured, annihilate an entire
division, once the range was found.
