American competition England, the
great shipbuilding nation Don't you
know that Ireland has bigger brew
cry than all England? Don't you know
that the shipbuilders of Ireland can

land and Scotland? Don't you know
that the 'canny Scot who is supposed
by American journalists to like his
own harsh liquor, patronizes Irish
products in preference to his own? .
ireland has the largest brewing and
shipbuilding concerns in the world.
Ireland supplies half the British en-
pire with handkerchiefs, collars, table
cloths and shirts and puts on British
tables the choicest breakfast bacon
and butter. The English usually con-
ceal the identity of the two last named
under the brand of Wiltshire and
Dorset but it is Irish andsshe treas
ury officials can testify to it. Neither
the Tyne nor the Clyde nor the Mersey
show anything equal to the shipbuild-
ing concern of Harland & Wolff at Bel
fast. Yet there is nothing the English
and Scots are so proud of as their ship
building. For years this firm has held
the highest place in the world so far
as tonnage launched is concerned.

thing for America, as well as Ireland,
that many native merchants sell the
poorer grades of American butter as
'Irish,' and pure Irish butter is sold
as Dorset or Danish Scotland-the
canny Scots, who like none but their
own liquor-drink 100000 gallons of
Irish whisky every year. Look up the

Thought 1t Was Young Again.

Everybody has heard of the old war

shifts the battle from afar whenever
it hears bugle call. Well, at Yelling
ton the other day, young lady was
driving the old family nag. In its
youth the family nag had been racer
with many winning races to it's credit.
AS the young lady drove down the
street a bunch of ponies driven by a
man whirled on the run from a side
street, and attempted to pass. But
with tail up and nostrils distended the
family nag renewed its youth, Joined

was to guar, against just such a ca
lamity as had here befallen the presi-
dent and the nation. The third was
bystander. negro who had only
an instant previously grasped in his
dusky palm the hand of the presi-
dent. AS one man they hurled them
selves upon the presidents assailant.
In twinkling he was borne to the
ground, his weapon was wrested
from his grasp and strong arms pin
toned him down.
Goodness of the President.
But of the multitude which wit
messed or bore part in the scene of
turmoil and turbulence there was but
one mind which seemed to retain it's
equilibrium, one hand which remained
steady, one eye which gaZed with un-
flinching calmness and one voice which
retained its even tenor and faltered
not at the most critical juncture. They
were the mind and hand and the eye
and the voice of President Mckinley.
After the first shock of the assassin's
shot he retreated a step; then, as the
detectives leaped upon his assailant,
he turned, walked steadily to a chair
and seated himself, at the same time
removing his hat and bowling his head
in his hands.
Urged All to BE Calm.
In an instant Secretary Cortelyou
and President Milburn were at his
side. His waistcoat was hurriedly
opened, the president meanwhile adj
monishing those about him to remain
calm and telling them not to be
alarmed.
"But you are wounded" cried his
secretary; ''let me examine"
"No. think not" answered the
president 81 am not badly hurt, as
sure you"
Nevertheless his outer garments
were hastily loosened, and when a
trickling stream of crimson was seen
to wind its way down his breast,
spreading it's telltale stain over the
white surface of the linen, their worst
fears were confirmed.
Asks Mercy for Assailant.
Moved by a paroXysm he writhed
to the left and then his eyes fell on
the PROSTATE form of the would-be
assassin. Czolgosz, lying on the floor
bloody and helpless beneath the
blows of the guard.
The president raised his right hand,
red with his own blood. and placed it
on the shoulder of his secretary.
'Let no one hurt him." he gasped,
and sank back in the chair, while the
guards carried Czolgosz out of his
sight.
