A Necessary Pracaufian.

A couple of fishermen went out from
Ell Dorado, Kan. They had jug of
pretty good whisky and a six-shooter,
with which they intended to shoot at
mark in case the fish might not bite.
They left their equipment on the bank
of the creek while they went away to
hunt boat. When they returned
they found this note pinned to the grub
basket: Dear Gents-We have taken
your Jug and pistol. We didn't want
the pistol, but thought ycl might be
thirsty enough to follow US up and
sAook for the drinks"

T. DARCY MCGEE.
POET, EDITOR AND STATESMAN
OF LONG AGO,
whose Tragic Death Is Recall I'D BY the
Finding In Ottawa of the Stone Dyed
with His Blood When He Fell Under
an AssassIn's Bullet.

The recent finding in Ottawa, Can.,
of the stone which originally marked
the scene of the assassination OF
Thomas Darcy MCGEE serves to recall
the story of that gifted Irishman ana
of one of the most noted political
crimes in the history Of the Dominion.
MCGEE was in many respects not
ed man. Poet, editor, historian, Or
ator and statesman, he contributed
freely to every department OF lltera-
ture, adorning like Goldsmith what
ever he touched. AS statesman MS
work endures in the present system Oh
Canadian confederation, for there was
no more enthusiastic confederatlonlst
than he and he framed the draft OF
the plan of union.
Thomas Darcy MCGEE was born in
county Louth, Ireland, in 1928, and
was a descendant on both sides OF pa
triotic Irish families. He was pre-
cocious from infancy and was an insa-
table reader of poetry and of the MS
tory of his own unhappy land. In lS42
this young Irishman, fresh from an
ordinary day school-and schools in
Ireland were not the best in the world
SO years ago, no more than now-came
to the United States and filled and
ably filled the editorial chair of the
Boston Pilot, founded by the late Pat
rick Donahoe.
Back in Ireland.
The fame of young McGee soon
crossed the Atlantic and he was in
vited to become an editor on the Dub
lin Freeman's Journal. He soon Joined
the staff of the Dublin Nation, the or
gan of the Young Ireland party-a
party that looked to physical force to
right the grievances of Ireland. With
Davis, Duffy, Mitchell and other cul-
tured men MCGEE helped to make the
Nation one of the most remarkable
journals in the world. He was secre-
tary of the Irish Confederation, but in
1S48 was forced to flee from Ireland
owing to his share in the Young Ire
land movement.
In October, 1S4S, he became editor of
the New York Nation, and subse-
quently, in Boston. of the American
Celt.
In 1857 he removed to Montreal and
the same year was elected to the Pro-

BREACH OF THE CONTRACT.

How a Man Got the Best of a subscrip-
tion Book Scheme.
A citizen of Buffalo has just won
his case from subscription book con-
Germ. He subscribed for a set of Bal
zac's works with the understanding
that the edition was to be limited to
1000 sets. He thought he was to be
just one of thousand out of seventy
odd millions in the United States to
be envied the possession of the Balzac
sets. He learned afterward that there
were two other limited editions" of
the same work, that all three editions
were printed from the same plates
on the same quality of pa
per and differed only in the
illustrations and the color of
the binding The Buffalo purchaser
contended that the publishers had vio-
lated their contract with him and re-
fused to complete his payments for the
set. Whereupon the publishers brought
suit to recover. The case has just
been tried in the municipal court in
Buffalo and has been won by the de-
fendant, the court holding that mere
color of the binding did not constitute
a new edition, and that the defendant
was the victim of breach of contract
This was good law and a correct re-
suit. The tricks of the subscription
book publishers and their agents are
many. When man finds he has been
cheated he should resist. The courts
will protect him.-Utica Observer.

His End Was Tragic.

On April 7, 1868, he was returning to
his boarding house from a night ses-
sion of parliament, when an assassin
named Whelan shot him down at the
door of his lodgings. Thus perished
in the Add year of his age the most
gifted Irishman in America and one
of the richest and most splendid intel
lects of the 18th century.
AS the murdered man fell under the
assassin's bullet his life blood spat-
tered a large stone in the wall, and
shortly afterward the stone was en-
graved with record of the crime A
few years later the building was
burned down and the stone was lost
