A Bit of Irish wit.

Some time ago while | was trading
In avillage store one of the clerks came
to tho Junior partner, who was waiting
on mo, and said:
PLEASE step to the desk. Pat Flynn
wants 70 settle his account and wants
receipt.
The merchant was evidently annoyed.
why, what does he want Of re-
ceipt?' he said. 1--WE never give one.
Simply cross his account off the book.
That is receipt enough.
$50 / told him, answered the clerk,
but he is not satisfied. You had bet
ter see him.
So the proprietor stepped to the desk,
and, after greeting Pat with Good
morning, said:
"You want to settle your bill, do
you?'
Pat replied III the affirmative
well. " said the merchant, there Is
no need Of my giving you a receipt,
See, will cross your account off the
book, and, suiting the action to the
word, he drew his pencil diagonally
across the account That is a good re-
ceipt "
And do you name that that settles
it," exclaimed Pat.
THAT settles it, said the merchant.
"And you're sure you'll never be
askin me for it again
Wen never ask you for it again,
said the merchant decidedly.
Faith. thin, said Pat I'll be after
kspin me money in me pocket, for |

"oh. well, / ,an RIB that out :

English cl0vcrS are Irish shamrock
Perhaps no greater myth exists than that
relating tn the shamrock. St. Patrick
would find clover i'll almost all parts Of
Ireland, as he would i'll England, and
it was fitting emblem of the Trinity
Consequently there is little doubt that
he used it rs an illustration How the
little fiction that it is IA distinct plant
and will grow only in Ireland has been
maintained SO long seems incompre
hensiblc unless it is due to the pCcul-
iarity of Englishmcn when regarding
most things Irish. 1t is almost MS alb.
surd rs regarding Levers characters as
typical of the lrishman of today, prob
ably of any day, as he appears to have
had rs great genius i'll inventing char
acters rs III inventing stories. Ireland
largely owes its clovers and shamrocks
to its limestone. Around Dublin, where
limestone is not very prevalent, the in
ferior type of clover, the yellow trefoil,
is commonly employed as u badge, its
convenient shape, owing to its top root,
rendering it convenient as n buttonholo
flower,
In limestone districts the white clio
yer is moro commonly used, though
there is no definite rule, as is shown by
the specimens collected by natives in
all parts Of Ireland now tc be- seen III the
Dublin museum. These specimens were
allowed To 80 to flower. and four dis
tinct varieties of clover are represented,
each frequently. Even the large rcd
clover is included There is no other
plant shown, because there is no other
shamrock, The myth Is destroyed, but
the clovers remain, and il is due to
their presence that the Irish pastures are
So rich .aG SO valuable for grazing

The Democrat is fully convinced
that the country is entering upon u
new era Of business prosperity. Elec-
tion is over, and the hoped for revival
has set in. The expectation of better
times il based not only upon the fact
that there is an increasing foreign de
mand for our farm products, caused
by Il scarcity In other countries, but
upon the further fact that confidence
in regard to our monetary affairs has
been restored. History shows that
periods of depression always follow pc
RODS of prosperity. We believe that
there has been altogether too much
talk about hard times. II Is true that
the demand for articles of manufac-
ture has not kept pace with the
creased and increasing facilities
for their production, and that
in consequence mills and factories of
various kinds have been compelled to
shut down, throwing thousands of
men temporarily out Of employment.
In such cases, and for such men, times
have indeed been hard But let us be
thankful that everything points IN
mistakahly to n trade revival, and do
what we can to make times better.
Manufacturers stock are generally
low, and mills and factories are again
starting up, II the period Of drpres-
sion through which we have passed
has taught rs needed lessons Of pru-
dence and economy, Lei Us not soon
forget the lessons thus learned II
we would talk less about hard times

Mexico Swapping Her Oranges For On

Mexico Swapping Her Oranges For Our
Corn.
The shortage i'll tho crop of American
oranges this year has opened up an OPP
portunity to the orange growers of Mex
leo, who will send us supplies Of that
fruit.
The shortage in tho corn crop of Mex
leo this year has been met by the corn
raiscrs of this country, who have al
ready shipped large quantities of that
grain to tho republic which lies next to
ours.
In these exchanges there is beauti-
full illustration of the operation Of n
principle advantageous to both coun-
tries. The yield of oranges i'll Florida,
Louisiana and California has been in
adequate, and so Mexico offers us hun
drcds of carloads of them. The yield Of
corn in the Mexican states of Guiana
juato, Aguas Calientes and Vera Cruz
has been inadequate, and so the United
States stands ready to furnish them as
much of it as they need. Load the ships
with American corn for the McXicans!
Load the railroad cars with Mexican
oranges for the Americans! 1t is IA pleas
ing spectacle.
On "Wednesday we copied from the
New Orleans Times Democrat an inter
view with Mr.. Joseph Ball, u New Or
leans orange dealer, who said: Mex
leo will furnish about $50 carloads Of
oranges, 800 boxes III each car, nearly
it's entire surplus crop They are juicy
and good oranges" All right; wo need
them.
Tho expectation of American corn
from Mobile and other southern ports
to Tampico and Vera Cruz began about
month ago, and since that time moro
than :, 600, 600 bushels have been ship
ped from Mobile alone. The Mexican
government had temporarily RENTED
the customs duty upon corn importa-
tions and had made provisions for tho
sale of the grain at very cheap price.
