Maynooth was maybe 80 years or more
going when one summer there was
some iv the Maynooth professors was
over to see London; an as they wor on
the groun' they dhropped in to see OK
foord college. The laist honor the Ok
foord professors could do was to give a
dinner in their honor-and they did
that. A rousin' fine spread it was,
with the best an dearest of all aitables
an dhrinkables-maits an wines; an
all the most learned gentlemen in Lon
don, too, was invited to the dinner
But, when the dhrink begun to go to

gan braggin' iv OXFORD college, an
castin' up to the Maynooth professors
that they hadn't nothin' in Ireland to

them back again that there was more

All the larned men If MAMMOTH be-

felt in pickle over 1t. An the nearer
the big day dhrew, the worse they
felt. The whole think was advertised
over the three Kingdoms, an through
out France an livery other larned
country, an the whole wurrP was
waitin' to hear iv the result il the
great contest. The mornin' afore the
big day the most larned an ablest of
all the Maynooth professors got up
from the table an flung his book as

down, nursin' their knees an waitin'
for the mora.
The professor who was mostly to

So, on the mornin' iv the thrial Dan
had a private consultation with her,
an posted her on what she was to do.
When the trial was reached the coort
was filled with both people and bar
risthers-bekase it had been the whole
talk for length iv time aforehan'
about the wonderfully oliver case Dan
was goin' to win an the mighty big
fee he was goin' to earn. An when the
woman was placed in the dock an
heerd the charge read she looked very
silly entirely, an twirled her thumbs,
wan over another, an sayed out,
"Ochon! me poor calve, ye're soul, ye're
SOUL" an the judge an jury all looked
quare at her. Then when the queskin
was put till her Are we guilty or not
guilty?" she twirled her thumbs an
looked silly and sayed, "Ochon me
poor calve ye're soul, yere SOUL" An
the judge and jury looked at her quarer
still. An the judge then begun further
queskins iv wan kind an another till
her, but the sorra an answer he could
dhraw from her but "Ochoni me poor
calve, ye're soul, ye're SOUL" So UP
the judge jumps at length, an he fam

an let that poor woman go free, an
her own vans (people) look afther
her!" An down out of the dock, a
free woman, she steps; an all smilin'
to herself, steers for the coort doore.
But me brave Dan, though he was
mighty delighted with his success,
wasn't the man to forget his fee; so,
he made a sthride afther an tips her
on the shoulder-all the barristhers an

sthrainin' their necks watchin'. Me

his hand, my fee, plaise, If it's con-

look ever sat on an idiots countenance

I replied that I would be only too
glad to go to school and study hard,

at the palace and have a private tutor.

When 1 was 20 years old could fence,

there were but few better educated

GOO-GOO, THE GIANT.
He Leads an Army to Victory and
Then Retires on His Laurels.


Our arrival at the capital after the
great victory over the robbers created
such an excitement as was never known
before. For three days the people were
shouting, waving flags and firing can
non, and it was holiday for old and
young. When the people had finally
quoted down and dispersed to their
homes the King sent for me. On this
occasion he sat on his throne, with the
Queen beside him and many mobiles
present, and as 1 knelt before him he
said:
"Goo-Goo, no one could have done
better, and we thank you. Name what
you will as a reward, and it shall be
yours:
oh. King, I ask but to serve you"
replied, and at that there was a great
Clapping of hands and the King and
Queen were much pleased. His Maj
esty pinned a golden star on my breast,
and presented me with sword which
had jewels set in the handle, and
bowed myself out of his presence.
That same evening l talked with him
in his private reception room, with only
two or three other people present.
When we had talked of the battle and
the victory. and he had told me that
he should hang half the captured rob-
bers and set the other half at liberty,
he said:

There was wanst an there was poor

The leadin' butcher in Dublin was at
that very time gon' to fit up new prim
Uses an move Until them bekase his
thrade had become too great for the

vagabone, this butcher, always thryin'
to get the upper hand iv every wan he
done business with. An if they wor
poor so much the better; he could
worry them then as he wished an
laugh at them for their pains if they
tried to take the law iv him, he havin'
the long purse. could let them have
law till they cried Enough" Well,
this fella wanted, as I said, new prim-
Uses fitted up an he was just then
turnin' over in his mind all the
schaymes he could think iv for gettin'
them fitted free by fair dint iv rog-
uery SO when he sees the poor
sthrange carpenters advertisement in
the papers, he whistled till himself an
stint for him. An he made a contract
with the poor carpenter for him to
take the whole doin iv the work at
twinty poun' (Which wasn't near JUS
tice), an have it finished be sartin'
day. for a lump sum- Writins was

Well. an good, the carpenter went
to work on the premises at wanst an

early mornin' till late at night, an him
as happy as a king, thinkin' iv his high
good luck. and the fine money he was
earnin' for the wife an the weans,

employer had taken right good care to
give him more to do than he could do
