There are at the present moment
seven full regiments of Irishmen in
the British army-the Inniskilling
Fusileers, the Connaught Rangers, the
ROYAL Dublin Fusileers, the Royal
Irish Regiment and the Royal Irish
Rifles. And these Irish regiments
are freer from any admixtnre of for
eign or non. Irish blood than probably
any other seven regiments in Her
Majesty's army.
Not only are these Irish regiments
composed of Irishmen, but the mis-
ture of Irishmen in the English and
Scottish regiments is very material.
OF the POP, 900 troops in the British
ar y last year, 15e, $50 were OF Eng
lish, 2f,370 of Irish and 1914 of
Scottish birth.

cepted Turkish suzerainty, having de

Tripoli containing written recogni
ton of Turkish suzerainty, signed by
his own hand.

newspapers that the Sultan is being

Gan Old Man Speaks.)
Istand, at last, upon the lonesome hight
The purple-tinted peak that was my
goal;
Tho prize used to dream Of In the night
The lofty end ON which set my soul
Is mine to-day, and all the toll
And all the schemes are done;
But Gliding voices echo round
The hight that have won!
All, futile toll and unrewarded schemes!
The hope that lured me on has fed away;
I've gained the hight, but lost the sweet
old dreams,
Aci 70 warm hands clasp my cold hand
to-day,
For on the toilsome steep that l
Have managed to ascend
Each step is but the form OF one
Who hailed me as friend!

Captain Harry Clark, inspector of
rural delivery routes, returned last

be an every-other-day service and a
mail carrier and a substitute will be
appointed at once.
The route as designated by Captain
Clark will be from Laramie down the
ditch to Pops, thence across the Le-
Roy bridge and down the river to
Bush's place, thence over to Sand

the establishment and the bond to be
furnished by the mail carrier. These
will be all ready in a few days and
but a little time will elapse till the PEG.
pie living in the country district will
be almost as well provided with mail
facilities as those living in town. The
route will be much appreciated, es,
pecially when winter sets in and the
news of it's immediate establishment
will be received with delight by the
seventy-five families interested.
