in til County of Limerick a century and
a half ago. On the tomb of John Croker,
ment in 17O9, and who is buried in the
ohurohyard Of the ruined cathedral of
that town, the following epitaph is still
to be found:
"What, run away? Mol MOI I'll try
IF Death shews hissvery. face I'll meet BIN
here"
The same oouplet is also to be seen on
the tombs of the Crokers in the graveyard
Of Fethard and Limerick City.

Hard to Beat n Boy.

A cigar dealer in the west end said
to a reporter for the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune: at takes a mighty
sharp man to get ahead of boy. for a
fact. One of them came in here not
long ago, and he was old enough to buy
cigarettes and wanted package. I sold
them and got the money. In minute
q neighbor came in and wanted to know
what the boy bought. told him.
"'Well,' said he, that beats the
devil! Do you know what that boy did?
He was in my store about five minutes
ago and asked me to buy pamphlet
that is issued by the Anticigarette
league, whatever that is. He told me
that the boys in the public schools were
trying to sell them everywhere to do
away with the bad habit Of cigarette
smoking among the schoolboys. l
thought it was good thing, and 1
bought one from him. He sold some
others in the same neighborhood. Now
that little rascal comes in here and
spends my money for cigarettes, and
I'll bet a dollar that you'll find him
around here somewhere near smoking
for all that's out. I'm going to look
him up.
1.-THE next day asked him if he had
caught the kid. and he said:
al did. He and some chums were
having good time of it, and, more
than that, all Of them were in the same
business. They thought it was a good
joke, and suppose it was-on me-but
if they como around my store again
they ii get booted out.
But" said the cigar dealer, "they
are too sharp to get caught. They only
work one man at time, and none of
the gang ever goes back again. They keep
list, and I expect an examination will
show that they have been to every store
in that whole neighborhood. Where
they get the pamphlets ] do not know,
but ! imagine some of the good people
of the league had them printed for gra-
tuitous circulation, and the boys con.
cluded to sell them. They re pretty
slick "

THORNS TO SIT UPON.

Many people gather thorns by failing to
heed the warning sent out by diseased kid
neys-coated tongue-parched skin-fever-
ishness-dull dragging pain--general feel
ing Of weariness-is sure evidence OF kid
ney and bladder trouble. Take Utah Kid
ney Beans at once-they will cure you

that he suffered for years with horrible
pains in the back, kidneys and bladder

says, completely cured him. He gladly
recommends them TO all sufferers.

Fertility Of Hybrids.

One Of the most remarkable Of expe.
riences is the fact Of so many leaders Of
scientific thought teaching that hybrids
are infertile, in spite of the everyday
experience which horticulturists place
before them, that such doctrine is
wholly untenable. Every one of our
several species Of sarracenia, or pitcher
plants, has been made to bybridize to-
gether, and from these hybrids numer-
GUS other varieties are being raised

Slang.

The use Of slang has become so COM
mon as to cease to cause comment
among large class. Of people, both old
aud young. tits habit to be condemn
ed, and one which girls and boys should
be induced to break. 1t is senseless,
degrading, and one which leads to a
much worse habit-the use of profanity
and obscenity. We think it would be
well to organize an antislang society.
Boys readily learn class Of low, vul-
gar words and expressions which are
never heard in respectable circles or
around the freside. Some seem to think
these smart or remarkably funny, and
sometimes girl SO far forgets her self
respect and maidenly purity as to be
guilty Of the same thing. We cannot
imagine a decent girl using words or
expressions that she would not use be-
fore her mother and father.
Many Of the slang phrases in com.
mon use are next to swearing, yet not
quite SO wicked, but they lead to worse
Language and fill the mind with evil
thoughts. "A distinguished author says.
II resolved when 1 was a child never to
use word which l could not pronounce

a pure minded father, noble and honor

pure heart will make men and women
whose pure lives will shine amid the
surrounding sin and darkness of life
