maps also with executive ability and
desire to uplift his people, that his influ-
ence is most directly discernible.
These qualities have all had their effect
in raising the Irish Monthly, which is
edited by Father Russell, to a high stand
ard among the best periodical literature of
Great Britain and Ireland-a standard
which is recognized in the literary circles
of London. Farther away from home,
where different ideals may obtain in re-
gard to current literature, the Irish
Monthly receives its full share of admira-
ton. 1t is a significant sign that even
here in San Francisco this magazine finds
constant subscribers among educated
men from the "green little island"
Unlike the influence of the new school
of Irish writers in London there is a
wholesomeness in the direction given by
Father RusselPs taste which leads to the
higher ideals. 1t is refreshing to find
literature nowadays that does not seek a
market price nor strive to be odd and alto
gether unlike what one has read and such
indeed is found in the Irish Monthly.
The effect Of this beacon light on the read
ing public may easily be imagined; it
may be felt in intellectual circles in Dub
lin or wherever the magazine is read, and
it is through this that the name of Father
Matthew Russell will long be remembered.
Father Russell was born in Marry, Ire
land, in 1884. He studied in Maynooth
College for the priesthood, where his uncle,
the late Very Rev. Charles W. Russell,

with lightning-like rapidity, continuing
his firing, and in this way shoots far
faster than could be done by simply pull
ing the trigger.
"Most men can't see how he shoots
straight, but Ware knows how. He is the
coolest man that ever faced an enemy, and
is as modest as a child. He never talks
about the many fearful chances he has
run. AS l said, l don't suppose he'll
thank me, either, for saying anything.
BASS killed many innocent men, who
never in any way molested him. He did
it out OF pure devilishness. He also killed
many officers, and altogether led such a
life that he was the terror of Texas.
Oftentimes be would ride into place and
hold up the whole town. 1t was not till
Ware appeared on the scene, after years of
crime, that Bass bit the dust, and his band
was entirely broken up. Mr.. Ware is a
public benefactor.'
