Hi say boys. We're gettin' the woist
of this bloody, bloomin war hin South
Hafrica. Hi say, lads, caunt we hor-
ganize han hexped1tion for the relief
hof Lady Smith? Hain't she ha real
Hinglish beauty? Chivalry hain't dead
hin this bloomin' world. Caunt we go
to the rescue?"
AIRY, the Englishman, was in dead
earnest when he dropped the silver dol
lar on the round table at Tim SulliVan's
Sign, of the Silver Mug, and the con-
gress Of nations came into session, like
soldiers coming to attention.
Nae aleeiance for me-" said Donald,
the Scotchman. Anne a Hielander
Whan I cam frae the Hollands to Wor-
cester, twas WI nae idee O. jeenin' wi
the queen"
"Nein," said Hans, the Dutchman.
Ivy will We yoin nit Grade Briddan? Wy
giant der peoples uf dis goondry do some
bizness py dimselVes nit lonesomeness?
Wy guddent dey ven dere is sometimes
onwee hangin' heavy on dere hands,

emperor uf Yermany, all days nit no

Wen l COON from Stockholm bay da
Baltic" said Sven, the Swede, 81 say
look here Sven. You leave da old coun-
try ia get some freedom. Oar battar
ban no leeance Wy should ct ban, l
don't know, quickly"
AN alloiance bechune me an the
grandmother coontry, so-calIed. Why
should oi?" said Terrence, the Irish
man. What is the occasion av an al
loiance? Twill be the sorra day fer
this coontry whin we jine isyous. Oh
came here loike the rist av We. Whin
oppression bore down on me back an
OF filt OF was carryin' more than the
Whoite mans burthen, OF fit me indig-
nation worrukin' widdin me.
Dim loike yersilf, Swim, as far as the
country is concerned. OF came here
fer liberthy but did OF foind it? Faith,
to till We the thruth, OF think thot tits
the foine coenthry fer wimmin, dogs an
canary birruds, but the divviPs DON
country fer min an horses. What OF
name to intimidate, byes, is thot we've
got to wor-ruk fer all We get in the
coonthry. Still, fer all thot, OF do not
loike the lice av an .alloiance Ohm fer
the oopen door, not only in China, but
on hollydays in Worcesther.
Now OF think tthot Harry is taIkin'
through his hat. Ye see. Harry, there's
the bit av the Johnnie Bull left widdin
We fer all the fact thot OF was one av
the witnesses thOt stood besoide We an
swore thot We was ellyjaybel to become
an Amerycan cittyZin. Ye swore be all
thot was holy, be the niimry av yer
ancient ancestors, an be the recollection
av the fact thot whin the Inglish came
DOVER to this coonthry they were wal
Hoped to a standsthill, we wud support
the constystution av the United Sthates
an subscribe fer the Orish Wor-ruld. )"
Hi know hall habout that, Terry. Hi
know that this his a bloomin fine
country. Twas the .crydle hof liberty
hin the dies you speak habout. Wash
ington took the sword hof Cornwall
lis. han ha new government was hes
tablished 'Tis no reason 'owever, why
we cannot be hailed Blood his thicker
than water. Hi say, Terry, listen to rea-
son. Let hus join together
Tile an wather won't mix said Ter
srence, who Is q bit of a scientist. "Pot-
ash will make thin mix, but what the
Oirish call blarney is not alloied to
potash. Diplomacy is the first coozin
to barney, but We walk blarney an d.
ploomacy to the ind av the block, an
yen sthill fond Uncle Som, doutin
Thomas"
Now, byes, look here. Fer me DON
par-rut OF think thot there is too much
loicense in this coonthry in the way av
immigration. Oh don't behave in the
promiscous dhroppin in here av the
forryner. OF think thot we Amery-
cans should asser-rut Ourselves. We
should for-rum a Chinese wall about
the sthates an see to it thot none but
good Oirishmin an payple av the priv
yleged foreign nationalities come in
through the hooles in fince an share
in the blissins av a goovernmint be the
payple, av the payple an for the pay
pie, so help We, st. Pathrick an Robert
limit.
"Oi see be the cables an be last mail
from the war office, thot there's a
roomer thot the Unoited Sthates an
highland is alloied. Don't we behave
wor-rud av it, byes. They're not al
loied. Faith, if they were, ord dissert
me coonthry an go an jine the Bores
av Sout Africa in their strugglin's fer
indypindince from an oppressive for
eign power. Ye see, fer wan thing, We
could not make an alloiance bechune
this coonthry an highland widdout the
consint av the Sinnate. Now, OF don't
think thot sinnate wud vote fer the
annexation av Great Britain an the
Upoited Sthates. Oh think Sinitor Hoar
is too much av a STATESMAN. He's a
great frind av Oireland an OF don't
think thot he wud disappint his ould
frind Tirrance be jining isyous wild the
innymy.
'Tirrence,' says a sinnator to me
wan day, says he, 'Tirrance, this is the
land av the fray an the hoom av the
brave. OF think thot it is the land
av the fray all roit, fer l was in al
fray mesilf last MOTT
did yo put fallar ia sleep?" drawled
out Sven.
Yah. Derry" said Hans, "didded you
give der man some snooZings, ven in
der nose you did some dumpings, al
retty nit VIOLENCE? Ddded he do
some blinkings nit his eyesight, und
ged Inconsistencies, forgetful uf der
reason he vos pud owit?''
We'll" said Terrence, as he dropped
the price of another round of musty
on the round table, and Tim meandered
in with the tray. "Oi gave him all
