"The Big Wind" in Ireland.

Last night, January 6, was the sixty
first anniversary of the big wind in
Ireland" There have been other big
winds, but there never was one that
equaled the first one. Births, mar
rlages and deaths are fixed before and
after this particular big wind, and
there never was a true bern Irishman
who has not heard of the might of the
big wind" Many tales have been told
about this hurricane. According to the
REALTORS it came up about 8 o'clock at
night. 1t came like a summer breeze
but in very short time it became
furious. Some Of the simple people OF
Ireland said 1t was the work of the
fairies, who had become displeased at
the people. So they crawled under the
bed and lowered themselves in wells to
escape the fury of the elements. The
next morning they came out to see
what the fairies" had done. They said
they found that every haycock in Ire
land had blown down. They found
that straw had been driven through
oak boards as clean as carpenter
would drive nail, and there are some
who declare that a stone as big as q
freight car had been blown seven miles
from its resting place. They found
that the waters had been lashed into
such terrible state that huge whales
were lying on the shores of the lakes
and that sharks and small fish were
found in the forests miles from theii
home in the ocean. The tale is told OIL
the sailors who became shlpwrecked
and landed on the back OF a whale
supposed to be an island, and the WIND
carried the whale and sailors to a place
of safety. Every clock on the public
steeples was stopped, and the wind
blew the whistles on the boats anchor.
ed at the wharves without an ounce oi
steam showing on the gauge. The
people who remember this terrible
wind tell how it carried the swords ot
the Knights and Lords from the scab-
bards, and left the powdered hair oi
the Queen as natural as the day she
was born, and they say that the paint
was removed from the barns, leaving
the boards as bare as the day they
came from the forest, ana rocks were
carried from Mt. Chevalier to the town
seven miles away Others say the bells
in the churches and school houses
clattered as they never clattered before
and chickens were found the next
morning without a feather in lhelr
tails.
Leaves were found driven into the
trunks of the trees, and corn was found
cleaned from the cob ON the stalk
Other terrible things happened 81
years ago on the might of the big
wind"

Said to Improve Horseradish

Some people care for nothing but
lemon. on raw oysters, but there are
others who desire horseradlsh. Usu-
ally such folks regard the strongest
horseradish as the best, but an eXper-
fenced vender of the condiment, Peter
O'Neill, of Castle Valley, poohpcchs
this point of view. "Why should the
strong horseradish be considered
good?" says he. at brings tears TO
your eyes and lifts The top of your
head off and makes you want to sneeze
1t has no taste whatever The mild
horseradish, that which has stood
awhile, is the best and pleasantest
always. There is nothing so foolish
as to think that the strong, b.ting
kind is the fresh-that is the reason
why 1T is preferred to the mild sort
for the very stalest, weakest horserad-
ish can be made in 20 minutes strong
enough to blow your head off All
you need to do is to add salt to it.
Try this some time. Just take any old
hcrsenadlsh, dump in a spoonful of salt
and then notice the difference. | don't

erful effect on the stuff, but no doubt

7 ak Of Re -districting.

There has been considerable talk
about the present legislature re-dis-
trlcting the state for congressional
purposes. but there appears 10 be no
foundation for the talk. The federal
census will be taken during the com
ing summer, and redistricting will
be necessary after that has been done
IL would be necessary to convene the
general assembly in special session
after the census has been taken, and
there is no disposition at this time TO
do that The work of redistricting
will probably fall TO the next legisla-
ture, that will also elect a United
States senator 10 succeed Hon. ]. B.

that body will be one OF the hottest in

Withdrawal from the contest. Judge
Church had many influential friends
and was assured of the solid support of
his Judicial district, but he has never

The people of this part of Iowa are of
