Phelim McCaul was not in partlcu-
larry good humor as he STROBE along
the rough moutain path whistling a
faction tune between his teeth, and
cutting sayagely at the wayside
brambles, that shivered in the sharp
east wind, which, appropriately
enough. was heralding the Lenten sea-
son down the famous Gap of Dunloe.
Judged from Mr. MeCaurs stand

one. Here he was man of thirty-four.
with tidy bit put by, snug farm
and no remembrance whatever, actu-
ally unmarried this blessed Ash
Wednesday eve, and likely to remain
10 during the coming twelve months,
all owing TO the unreasonableness OF
one Thady 0'Rafferty, whose daughter
Mollie Phelim sought in marriage, the
negotiations having been broken off
that very evening for positively the
last time.
Had Phelim been a trifie older. or n
trlfie more philosophic. he would
have probably told himself the disap-
pointment was simply a blessing in

at the broken match and heartily
cursed Mr.. 0'Rafferty as he went.
Absorbed in bitter reflections. he did
not hear the approaching rattle of gig
wheels behind, and ii was not until
friendly voice had thrice shouted mis-
name from lungs rendered stentorian
by moutain air. that Phelim knew he
had fellow traveller on the road.
Thus challenged he faced around, and,
recognizing his interlocutor as an ac-
quaintanee named Lanigan, who
rented farm a mile or so from his
own place, came to a halt
-Yerrah. Phelim, boy whore are We
goin' at that rate this hour o. night?"
asked the newcomer. accommodating
his horses pace TO that of the young
man as they moved forward together.

That's all of now" replied Phelim.

observation. but too true an Irishman

A Promoter OF Temperance.

STATISTICS show that the increasing gen
eral consumption of beer is followed by o
decrease of consumption of alcoholic drinks
and that II Is, strange to say, promoter of
temperance. Beer today Is the favorite
beverage Of the American people, and 1t is
consumed not only by the thirsty public in
drinking places, but In the homes Of the peo-
pie and by the wives, mothers and daught-
ers thereof. It's wholesome, flesh-giYiag
qualities, Its inyigorating and stimulating
nature, have placed II not In the list of luxu-
ries, but Of necessities, to n people whose in
tensity OF nerve force is such, under the con-
dition OF our climate and atmosphere, as to
demand a beverage that is at once gratifying,
soothing and refreshing. This is what good
beer is and this is why beer has become the
drink Of the country. Naturally enough the
culture of beer has progressed to point
where a distinct national success has been
achieved. Always up-to-date, never asleep,
the Seattle ByeDing and Mailing Co. have kept
IN the front ranks and today are proud that
they can offer as good bottle OF beer as the
most cxacting could desire.
In order to impress upon your mind the
fact that the Seattle Bre0ing and Mailing CO.,
beers are Mild, Light, Bright and Lively, we
below give the average per cent OF alcohol in

CIVIL ARBITRATION.

An article that lately appeared
in our columns illustrated the ben
efits of arbitration by the case of
the dispute between the New Tea
land Government and the Midland
Railway Company. This great
controversy was settled in short
order by Edward Blake, an able
chancery lawyer of Great Britain,
who was selected as arbitrator by
the parties. Had it gone to the
law courts, the case would probab-
ly have taken years to settle, be-
sides involving enormous expense.
In one or more provinces of Can
ada the courts are allowed, with
consent of the parties, to refer
civil disputes to arbitration,
and the practice used to
work we'll. Juries are fire.
quently waived In the nlsl
prius courts of Hawaii, but the
time may come, with increasing
litigation, when jury waived cases
may Unfortunately crowd the bust
ness at chambers in recess. A
remedy for such an eventuality,
if not called for by present condi-
tions, might be found in provi-
sion to dispose of some cases by
arbitration. 1t may be mentioned
that the BULLETIN has received
appreciation, from a quarter COM
handing respect, for its recent
designation of the difficulties aris-
ing from the growth of litigation.
