Irish Turns and Twists.

THE AUTHOR OF ''lrish Lie and Character
says truly that ono has only to mix with
an Irish crowd to hear many a laughable cX-
preston, quite innoccntly uttered As the Duke
and Duchess of York were leaving Dublin in 1897
amid enthusiastic cheering an old woman lc'
marked
"Ah! Isn't it the fine reception they're gcttin',
goin' away"
In 1892 Dublin university celebrated its ter.
centenary and crowds Of visitors were attracted
to the city Two laborer rejoced al the gen.
cral prosperity. thus expressed their feelings;
'Well, Tim." said ono 'thCm tarcintlnalics
docs a dale for the thrade OF Dublin, an no
mistake"
"Oh, faix they do" said the other "And
whin, with the blcsin' of God, we set home
rule, sure we can have as many OF thin as
we pldse."
An old woman, seeing a man pulling young
calf roughly along the road. exclaimed:
"Oh, YOU bla'guard! That's no way TO tmatc
a fellow cnther"
"sure," said ldborcr to a young lady who
was urging him to send his children TO school,
I'D do anything Tor such a sweet gcntlcmcnly
lady Us YOURSELF
Again, the laborcls on large estate decided
that II would be more convenient for thcu IL
they could be paid every week instead OF every
fortnight. One of their number was sent Ia
place their proposition before the land agent,
and this was his statement:
III you plasc, sir, it's me desre and il is
also every other mans desire, that We receive

ernment. The best license law, other
things being equal, is the one which
raises the most revenue. Ex-Sherir
Robnson's figures show that unless the
legislature can be persuaded TO pass
the Vaughan bill this weeA, its pur-
pose being to reduce the license Zee
in second class cities from SllOO, as
now fixed. TO the $3.50 which It was
when Scranton was in the third class,
the total revenue derived from liquor
licenses issued in the city would de-
crease in the neighborhood of 20 per
cent. the first year and more in sub
sequent years. The transition or
Scranton from the third to the sec
ond class of cities was marked by
no change in business conditions cal
culated to encourage the applicant for
liquor license in doubling his invest
ment. The doubling of the fee would
more than balvc the number of license
holders and add irresistibly to Illicit
selling, with all that that implies.
For this reason we believe there VIII
be a general concurrence in the de-
mand for the swift enactment of the
Vaughan bill. All licenses granted at
the recent license court must be taken
out and paid for before March 20,
| otherwise they will be void. If the fee
is to be restored to the revenue basis,
the Legislature must act this week.
The measure prohibiting the impor-
tation of American meats seems to he
popular with all Germans save those
who expect to eat the flesh.

HER EASTER HAT.

For The Tribune
"Oh isn't it a deaTy' the maiden cried,
When a stu ming Easter hat she spicd;
~ dream, a poem, but oh my!
Then she hcayed double sigh,
When she saw the price on that
Grand and bewitching Easter hat.
The flowers and ribbon so new and fresh,
That rose from the dainty costly mesh
OF chiffon aud "modern lace"
Would enhance cen a homey face
So thought the iHaiden us she sat
Aud gazed at the lovely Easter hat.
Then from her dainty purse she took
4 Leaf from fond papa's check kbook,
She gazed at the check, then decided TO buy
The spring creation that came so high,
Her dad would scold, but what of that
When she had a stunning Easter hat:
The wshedfor morn dawned bright and cledT
And the maiden wore the hat so dear;
Everyone stared as she passed by,
But you'll not wonder when ] tell YOU why
While proud and solemn in church she sat,
The tag hung from her Easter hat
