How q Pack o. Card, Saved Many Lives.

How . Pack o. Cards Saved Many Lives
The "Knave of Clubs" was long
known as Ireland's friend, and the
saying had its origin in very inter-
esting incident. In the year 1857
Queen Mary, at the instance of DIR.
Cole, issued commission ordering i'm
mediate prosecution of the Protestants
Of Ireland. The commission, duly
signed by the Queen, was to be car
ried by DR.. Cole himself; and over
joyed at his trust-for he was re-
lentless prosecutor, hated by Catholics
and Protestants alike-he set off on
Dec. 10, 1857, promising "a merry
Christmas to Irish heretics." On the
way he had to stop one night at Ches-
ter, where he found lodgings in the
house of Mrs. Edmonds. AS Queens
messenger and a churchman of dis
tinction, he was visited by the mayor
Of the city, to whom he boastingly
said: Here is commission that shall
lash the heretics," at the same time
drawing box out of his cloak bag and
displaying the small square ps-cel the
commission formed. Now it char c1d
that the landlady heard what was
said, and, as she was Protestant and
had brother in Dublin, she was much
alarmed and upset. Not long before
she had been rating her son for gamb-
ling, and had taken from him pack
80 ho CT ~ nor ly0t
duced to the mayor by DR.. Cole was
exactly that of pack of cards, and
when the mayor left and DIR. Cole,
with great ceremony, attended him
down stairs to the door, she quickly
seized the box, opened it, took out
the commission, slipped off the oil
skin coverings and put them over the
pack of cards, which she placed in
the box, while she put the commission
in her pocket. When the doctor ar
rived In Dublin, and, having notified
his arrival at the castle, the Lord Dep
uty Fitz-Walters summoned the Privy
Council to hear DR.. Coles mission. The
doctor made long speech, in which he
explained the object of his coming,and
then presented the leather box with its
contents to the Lord Deputy. When the
Deputy opened it for the secretary to
read his commission, his surprise may
be imagined when nothing appeared
but a pack of cards with the knaye of
clubs face uppermost. The doctor as
sured the Lord Deputy and the Coun-
ell that he had commission, but knew
not how or where 1t could be gone.
Then" said Fitz-Walters. you go
back for another commission, and we
will shuttle the cards in the mean
while" The doctor withdrew in great
trouble of mind, and eventually made
LIS way back to England. Here he
was soundly rated and abused. and not
till October 1858, did he get the fresh
commission. With this, however, he
dallied some time before starting, and
lust as he was about to sail Mary's
death rendered it null and void. The
woman whose ingenuity baked the
plans of the prosecutor was rewarded
by xueen Elizabeth with pension o.
fifty pounds year.

The HOrselcss Wagon.

It is now two years by the clocl
since the first automobile sailed up
Fifth Avenue. We were witnesses OF
the alarm with which horses viewed
it's approach. The alarm was natural.
That solitary automobile was the her.
aid of their doom. It was something
else besides. We should like to be
pictorial and say that we regarded it
as phantom of the future, but we
prefer to be truthful and say that we
saw in it guarantee of clean streets.
The latter are not here yet, but, to use
Hegelism, they are in process of be.
coming. The sale of the last line OF
omnibuses of which the city boasts
and the declared intention of the pur.
chasers to put automobiles in their
stead is good deal more than q step
in that direction. The organization
of company to do the trucking OF
the town automatically is a good
deal more than another.-Collier's

Pottawatomie county has started in to
