O'Connen and the Tipperary Boys.


At Tipperary, brave Tipperary, they
wanted to take the horses from O'Con-
nelrs carriage and draw him them
selves upon his way. "This will never
do" he said to his daughter-in-law.
Their intentions are excellent, but
they'll get so excited that We'll find
ourselves in the ditch presently"
Bursting open the carriage door, In a
moment he was out among these gi-
gantlc Tipperary men, just as big as
any one of them. "Now, boys, be rea-
sonable," he said. Leave the horses
under the carriage"
"But, shure, we'd rather pull you
along ourselves, SIR" was the reply as
the preparations for so doing went gal
lantly forward.
"Au right; on your own heads be it!'
cried O'Connell good humoredly, and,
throwing off his coat, he set to with
pugilistic intent, boxing them right
and left until he got them to desist.
Their amusement and delight knew no
bounds, and when, on regaining the
carriage, he doubled up his hand and
shook it at them, with a beaming smile
and twinkling eye, the air was rent
with enthusiastic shouting, and he
drove off even a greater hero than
when he had come.-Donahoe's Maya

Sun Storms.

The connection between the aurora,
sun spots and magnetic disturbances
has never been explained, but many
observations have shown that it def
initely exists. The outbreak of a cy-
clonic storm on the sun with the for
nation of spots is Immediately regis
tered in every magnetic observatory
on the earth. Sometimes the disturb
ance of terrestrial conditions is very
marked.
For example, on Feb. ID, 1892, a
great spot, accompanied by enormous
cyclonic disturbances, burst forth on
the suns surface. That night a mag
nificent aurora was visible all over the
northern half Of the United States and
in many parts of Europe. Telegraph
ing was carried on between New York
and Albany without batteries, so strong
were the earth currents. The tele-
graph system Of Sweden was COM
pletely paralyzed, and in Russia much
difficulty was experienced with the tel
egraph lines. At the Kew observatory
In England the magnetic needle swung
two degrees out of its normal position.
All this has furnished physicists and
astronomers fruitful field for study,
and vast mass of observations has
been accumulated, but so far no salts
factory explanation Of the mysterious
bond of sympathy between solar and
terrestrial influences has been forth
coming, nor does any one yet know the
true nature of the aurora.

A DAY AT ST. PAUL.
II. M. Gray and West Publishing Co

Starting on my trip west few weeks
ago L arrived in st. Paul in the morning
and spent the day in the city. In the
! forenoon / went to the West Publishing
company building and found Henry M.
Gray, formerly of this place, but now
| having position as an editor with this
company. The West Publishing COM
pany is the largest publishers of law
books and law periodicals in the United
States. Its building is nine stories high
including Easements and they employ
about 600 people. Their force is en-
ployed on their work from editing the
copy to printing, binding and mailing
their big output. The business has
grown up within comparatively short
time and is very profitable. There are
forty five editors. Mr.. Gray has a good
position and is succeeding well. Last
month in class of sixteen which had
one department of editing, he ranked
first. Each one is graded on his work.
Since | was there Mr.. Gray's family has
gone there and they are no doubt en-
ioying their new home.
Mr.. Gray and spent most of the day
looking over the city and the parks. ST.
Paul has much wealth and many costly
and beautiful residences as we'll as big
business enterprises. 1t is located on
uneven ground and can thus present
something of a picturesque appearance.
1t is built on the hills and bluffs on
either side of the Mississippi river.
Above the city the scenery is beautiful.
About half way between the twin
cities is the Soldiers Home. 1t is
located near the bluff from which a view
of the river two hundred feet below, as
t winds its way among the rugged hills
completely covered as they are with
trees and shrubs, is most inspiring
scene. To the rear of the Soldiers
Home about quarter of mile up
picturesque little canyon is the falls of
Minnehaha famed in song and legend.
Here is where Hiawatha
Paused to purchase heads of arrows
OF the ancient arrow maker,
In the land of the DacOtahS,
Where the Falls of Mnnehaha
Flash and CLEAN among the oak trees,
Laugh and leap into the valley,
There the ancient arrow maker
Made his arrow heads of sandstone
With HIM dWeIt his dark eyed daughter
Hayward as the Mnnehaha,
With her moods of shade of sunshine.
Eyes that smiled and frOwned alternate,
Feet as rapid as the river,
TreSSes flowing like the water
And as musical IA laughter;
And he named her from the river,
From the water fall he named heI,
Mmnehaha, Laughing Water.
1t is a delightful little nook half
covered with leafy boughs as well as
with poetic romance. The water in the
little Minnehaha creek which makes the
falls is nearly dry now in this dry sum-
mer IN the north.
A romantic boat ride from the Sol
ders' Home down the Mississippi about
two miles brings us to Fl Smelling with
its frowning old Notifications. Some of
its old defenses were erected in 1920 and
are in good state of preservation They
served we'll their day and age as protec-
ton against the frontier Indians, but
are useless now except as barracks for a
few companies of regular army boys.

Cameron Township.

Ed Scholtz, of Gray, was working in
this vicinity last week.
Rev. Bertch was transacting business
in this community last Tuesday.
Louis Groteluschen, of Gray, erected
windmill for T. J. Shelley one day last
week.
Miss Fuchs, of Carroll county, visited
her sister, Mrs. James Hoffman, last
Sunday.
Mrs. Joseph Johnston who has been
sick for some time past is some better
at this writing.
Harvest in this township will be al
most completed this week provided the
weather is good. Some of the barley is
in the stack now.
Mrs. Bertch was away visiting her
parents last Sunday and was unable to
fill her appointment at the Sands. After
this it is expected there will be preach
ing every Sunday after Sunday school.
While driving on the road west of the
Greenlee school house one day last week
Rev. Bertch's team became frightened
and ran away. There were no bad re-
suits except the Rev. was slightly bruis-
ed and had broken neck-yoke to pay
for.
George Pfeister sold about hundred
head of hogs at Gray last week. The
price was five cents and the weight over
three hundred pounds per hog, so the
entire lot brought over $500. OF the
seven car loads Of stock shipped from
Gray at one time last week, Cameron
furnished the larger part.
