An Undertaker'S Dilemma.

Il have had many queer experiences
in my business" said a pawnbroker
whose three gilt balls hang in the vi
cinity of Twelfth street and Columbia
avenue, but l ran up against some
thing the other day that simply took
my breath away. A man very shah
billy dressed in black, and looking like
a broken down minister, came into the
private office and asked TO see the pro-
prietor. 1 went out to him. I'm an
undertaken said he, and I want you
to help me out of a difficulty. You can
do it without any risk to yourself if
you want to. l may as well confess to
you that business is pretty bad with
me, but I've got case now which will
pay me well, if 1 can only carry it
through. I just need a little money
to do so. You see, I've failed in my
business several times, and it's pretty
hard for me to get credit, but -
Well, well, hurry up, 1 interrupted,
what do you want me to do?' I'm
coming to that now said he; L was
going to say that 1 managed to prevail
on the vabinet-maker to give me a cas-
ket on time, and so I've got that all
right. But the relatives of the de-
ceased refuse to advance me any mon
ey until I've supplied the shroud. I
haven't any money, and the funeral is
fixed for to-day. Now, l want you to
take the casket with it's silver trim
mings as pledge, and give me enough
money on it to buy a shroud. Then.
you see, can get enough from the be-
reaved family to redeem the casket in
time for the funeral. What do you
say? l told him, after 1 had recovered
my breath, that L couldn't think of
such a thing, and he went away very
respondent. l don't know how he got
out of his difficulty, or whether the de-
ceased has been buried yet."-Philadel-

THE TAVERN OF CASTLE CRAG

The Tavern of Castle Crag was built
in the heart of the Sierras, almost at
the foot of Mount Shasta. and amid
the most picturesque mountain scenery
accessible to the tourist The eligible
ity of the place selected was due to a
rare combination of flowing water, in
spring mountain scenery and inviting
forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with it's
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek
sumemr resort for health, recreation,
outdoor sports, sympathy with nature
and informal sociability. To empha-
size this intention and signify the kind
Of invitation extended, the name TAV-
ERN of Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of So
cial Journalism, and to realize this orig
lnal conception, the management has
| decided to make the Tavern of Castle
Crag distinctively a family resort and
especially attractive to those to whom
health. recreation and sympathy with
nature are paramount considerations.
To this end rooms on the first and sec
ond floors of this splendid taxeTn with
beard will be furnished at a monthly
rate of 500 a person; and rooms on the
| third floor with board at a monthly
rate of $50 person.
| The accommodations OF the Tavern
are first class in every particular. Its
parlors and halls are elegant and spac-
| ious. Its verandas are cool and invit-
| ing, placing the guest always in the
presence of the most attractive noun
tain scenery to be enjoyed from the
balcony Of any tavern in the world.
| The opportunity for outdoor sports
EN- braces hunting, fishing, riding. BIZ
cycling, walking OH mountain paths
and driving on picturesque roads. The
! Tavern is located immediately On the
main trunk line of the California &,
| Oregon Railroad, and is fourteen hours
ride from San Francisco, twelve hours
! from Stockton ten hours from Sacra-
mento, thirty hours from Los Angeles
and tWenty-three hours from Portland
The Tavern of Castle Crag is reached
from San Francisco and Sacramento
without loss of time. The train leaves
San Francisco at ) o'clock D. M. arriv-
| ing early the following morning for
breakfast which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning, the
train time affords equal accommoda-
ton. Thus both in going and in COM
| ing the comforts of the passenger and
the economy of his time have been
studied In brief the Tavern of Castle
Crag realizes to its guests the perfect
I ideal of that spring-tim in the high al
titudes of the Sierras which never be-
comes high summer, and is the COM
| Portable home of pleasing recreation
and restful repose.

Irish Industries.

Had Ireland been permitted to carry
on her national manufactures, which
were in such grand swing at the time
of the Commonwealth; had the nefari-
Gus Navigation Act Of Charles H., re-
stricting and ultimately destroying
Irish export trade with the Colonies,
been withheld; and had the final blow,
feveled at the wooden industry in the
reign of the Third William been avert
ed, Ireland would now be numbered
amongst the opulent nations But Eng
lish jealousy and tyranny triumphed !;
the looms of Munster were stilled, while
the Earl of Stratford's planters carried
on in undisturbed security, their linen
factories in the North. In consequence
of such enactments the people of Ire
land, stricken with poverty, and obliged
to subsist almost exclusively on agri-
cultural produce, fell victims to fam
inc when the crops failed. Hence,
when the wet summer of 1915 brought
about the potato disease, the events
which followed gave to history one OF
her most lamentable and heart-rending
pages; while the population Of the
country, between famine, the pesti-
lence which succeeded, and emigration
was speedily reduced by 100000 Ever
since, owing to the unfruitfulness OF
the soil, the cry of distress has not
| ceased to come. year after year, from
the congested districts.
Among the different industries pur-

dle-work of various kinds was actively
promoted in Ireland during the years
of the great famine as a means of pre-

NIKE SCRIP CASE.
Decision I'm Favor of the Preseni
Holders of the Land.

HOtderH OF the bnh".
Washington, May 81. - Mr.. Binger
Hermann. commissioner of the general
land Office, announced his decision in
the Chicago lake front case, reversing
the decision of Commissioners Lamo-
reaux and denying and rejecting the
application of Harvey NJ. Lafollette and
Matthias Bonner to locate Mckee scrip
on the lands. This allows the patent
rendered to Robert A. Kinzie in 1921 TO
stand for the benefit of the grantees.
The decision involves many millions
of dollars worth of property along the
shore front OF Chicago. and is the most
stubbornly contested case that has
been before the department for years.
1t will be appealed Immediately TO the
secretary of the interior, which de-
cision. however. in any event. will not
be final. as the case will be carried
through the courts. IL already having
been begun in the courts in Illinois.
