Some years ago determined attempt
was made by the health authorities Ia
stop adulteration, and twenty of the lead

Where True Hearts Beat.

In the lobby of the House two mem
bers of Parliament We're discussing tho
honor being paid to Ireland and Irish
troops.
One was Scotchman, the other an
Irshman.
The man from Scotland said, conde-
scendingly;
It's a very wecl to praise the Irish
soldiers, and he proceeded to explain
that while he was glad they were to
wear the shamrock ON st. Patricli's day,
it must not be forgotten that the High
landers had been fighting bravely, too;
they expect no special mark of favor for
their services, they We're always ready TO
brave death for their Queen, and their
loyalty was beyond repr0ach."
The Irshman interrupted Indignantly:
Il would have ye know. sorr" he cried.
there's as thrue a heart beats under an
Irish soldiers tunic as beneath any High
lander'S kilt

ENGLISH BEER SCARE.
Things Resulting from the Recent
Widespread POISONING,

The beer panic is having marked eff
feet on the brewing industry. and the
public, which insists on alcohol in some
form or other, appears to be taking to
whisky as the safer and more agreeable
poison. In many respects this panic re

the oyster fisheries. Indeed. the oyster

MONUMENT FOR BRAVE GIRL.
Jennie Wade, Who Carried Water to
Soldiers at Gettysburg.

The members of the Iowa relief corps.
the auxiliaries of the Grand Army of the
Republic, have undertaken to raise $500
with which to erect a monument to the
memory of Jennie Wade, the young WON
an killed at the battle Of Gettysburg, and
one of the few women killed during the
Civil war. The reason why the Iowa
women have undertaken this task is be-
cause Mrs. George Wade Mcclellan,
sister of the dead girl, lives mt Denison
Ia, and is a leader in the work of the
relief corps. The society in Iowa now
numbers 5000 members and the commit
tee having the work in charge asks that
each society send in a sum equal to 10
cents member. 1t is considered doubt
full whether this sum can be realized
from so small Il subscription, and it is
proposed to ask the Grand Army posts
to make up whatever deficit there may
be. 1t Is intended to secure the money
in time to dedicate the monument next
July on the occasion of the celebration
Of the thirty eighth anniversary Of the
battle.
The story of Jennie Wade is an inter
esting one She lived with her parents
on the battlefield of Gettysburg and
when it was fought she mas yet in her
teens. The Wade home stood back a
short distance from the Union lines.
When the battle began Jennie drew wa
ter from well with a windlass and car
ried it to the thirsty and wounded sol
dierS on the firing line This she kept up
till the firing ceased at night The next
morning even before light she was at her
work and continued all day. On the
morning of the third day party of sol
dlerS came to the house and asked for
something to eat. Mrs Wade made a
fire and Jennie began preparations TO
bake some biscuits When busy with
her work in the kitchen musket ball
crashed through the door and striking the
girl, killed her instantly. The following
day she was buried in coffin made by a
Confederate officer who had been taken
prisoner The brick house occupied then
by the Wades still stands and the hole
made by the bullet in the door before it
ended the life of Jennie Wade is snll
seen.

1t will Follow "A Kentucky Model,

Thomas w Lawson, the Boston mil
lionaire and latest aspirant for yachting
honors, has begun surveying land in
Scituate that is intended for his great
stoekfarm. For many weeks Lawson 5
agents have been buyin5 farms near
Egypt Station. The sale of five farms
was conducted 50 quietly that no one in
Scituate and few in Boston knew what
was going on. nor who the real puy-
chaser was and what his plans were.
y few months ago Lawson attended
the races at Lexington, Ky. His great
stallion Boralma won Il 5000 stake that
subsequently gladdened the hearts Of
many homeless babies of Boston. But
the thing that appealed more forcihly
than anything else to the copper kings
mind were the Stockfarms i'll the Blue
Grass belt Of Kentucky. The question
of making farm in Massachusetts like
the farms of Kentucky he had decided
before he got back to Boston. Two
months ago he fixed the location at ScItu-
ate.
The farms will be cleared of everything
except shade trees and Il forty-aCrc for
