Irish Love Words.

Long years have passed since, when a
child, heard it,
The Irish tongue so full of melody;
Yet memory oft, like strains Of sweet
est music
Recalls my mothers fond "Agra ma
chree."
When pain or grief oppressed me, how
caressing
Her soft "Alanna" as she stroked
my hair;
What other tongue hath term of fond
endearment
That can with these in tenderness
compare?
Acushia! sure the hurt were past all
healing.
That was not soothed when that
fond term was heard;
ashore! the pulses of my heart, reced-
ing,
Would thrill responsive to that low
ing word.
Mavourneen! time and place and dis
lance vanish;
A child once more beside my moth
er's knee
hear her gently calling me, "Mavour-
neen!'
And in her eyes the tender love-light
What matter whether dark my hair, or
golden,
She greeted me her colleen baum"

LIFE IN THE PHILIPPINES
Visitors to the Pan-American Get Good
Ideas of II.

A~S~S Va ave
The Philippine Islands exhibit at the
Pan-American exposition excites much
curiosity. One large portion of the ex-
hibit consists of agricultural imple-
ments and products. There is the
primitive pillow and rake used in the
rice fields, knives for cutting rice
straw. rice sifters, baskets and sieves,
models of rice mills and finally the
rice itself.
Next comes the famous Manila hemp
in huge skeins, like flaXen hair, or
made up into ropes and cables. There
are sugar baskets and bales and native
sugar Of various grades, tobacco, cof-
fee, indigo, dyestuffs, cocoanut fiber
and oil, and the beautiful and wonder
fully delicate lima cloth, made from
pineapple fiber.
Most abundant of all is tie bamboo,
which the Filipino adapts to every con-
ceivable use. There are bedsteads of
bamboo, chairs, tables, brushes, milk
jars, rakes, RATS, and, strangest of all,
musical instruments. Hardly less i'm
portant is rattan, of which the native
constructs baskets, balls, mats and nu-
merous other household articles.
The palm leaf is everywhere in evil
dence, for roofs, hats, cloaks, fans, bas-
kets, etc. The collection includes all
kinds Of fishery apparatus, lines, nets,
RATS, boats, baskets, etc. The tools
of the various trades are also we'll
represented, such as a complete car.
penters' kit, carriage and harness MAX
ers' tools, masons' tools. a tinsmith's
outfit, farriers' implements, etc. WISH
tors find much to interest them in the
household utensils and appliances, not
the least curious Of which are the lit
tie earthenware stoves, Of which no
well-appointed kitchen contains less
than half a dozen.
Then there are spoons and bowls Of
cocoanut shells, knives and forks of
buffalo bone, grass brooms, bamboo
bird cages, pottery, water bottles, en-
broidered and lace handkerchiefs and
scarfs, neck laces, bracelets and other
jewelry.
Intellectual products have not been
forgotten. There are books ON all SUBJ
jects, printed in Manila, school books
and examination papers; printed mu-
sic, including all pieces dedicated to
Aguinaldo. o.,
Among the art products are she'll
horn and wood carvings.
A reminder of the Spanish govern
ment is to be found in the collection Of
postage stamps, coins and paper mon
ey, tax receipts, proclamations, etc.
There are also Spanish guns and
other weapons. Alongside Of these are
many curious native weapons captured
by our troops, armor made of buffalo
hide, spears, knives and bolos, bows
and arrows, and most singular of all,
cannon made of wood wound with
wire.
The exhibit is supplemented with
several hundred mounted photographs,
colored pictures Of flowers and plants,
and small collection of ANNALS.

Charity.

Charity.
When over the fair fame of friend or
foe
The shadow of disgrace shall fall,
instead
OF words of blame or proof Of thus +,
and so,
Let some good be said.
Forget not that no fellow-being yet
May fall so low but love may lift
his head;
Even the cheek of shame with tears is
If something good be said.
No generous heart may vainly turn
aside
In ways of sympathy; no soul so
dead
But may awaken strong and glorified
If something good be said.
And so charge ye, by the thorny
crown,
And by the cross on which the Saw
ior bled,
And by your own souls hope Of fair
renown,
Let something good be said.

A RETRosPECT.

~ z
Let us 60 back little period OF
nine short years and see what Chick
asha has done in that time, and
how the transformation has come
about.
Nine years ago the site Of the
present little bustling city Of 8 900
people OF today was a cornneld,with
scarcely q house in sight. The corn
fields we're not plenty, the great
rich valley Of the Washita being
given up TO grazing cattle. Il was
easier to drive cattle to market
than to haul corn, and the rich, nu.
tritious mesquite grass furnished
the feed upon which the herder
could CLEAN from his stock fat
becves at almost any season Of the
year. The Great Rock Island rail
road was twenty miles away, at
Minco, where 1t bad rested for two
years or more.
In April Of 81 it got to Chicka
sha, the post Office for this locality
at that time being located two mules
north OF the present site, and called
Pensee. On the arrival Of the road
the town OF Chickasha was surveyed
ard the usual rush was made for
the new city that was to spring up.
Lots were sold at big prices and all
kinds Of business was opened, the
saloon men being the most promi-
nent. Beer and whiskey were sold
in open and tie town was "widc
openv and a typical wild and woody
western town. This saloon busi-
ness IS soon suppressed by the
strong hand Of the government, and
the wine bibber had to be content
with peruna, ginger ale, and red
ink, with an occasional slip-in Of
the real ardent. But with all this
there was plenty OF drunkenness,
and yet there was no particular
crime committed. One killing oc-
CURED during the fist year, and
only one since within the bounds
OF the city.
After the first rush OF the open
Jag the town settled down into =
regular business. The country was
sparsely settled, and trade cane
from long distances. The mer-
chants prospered fairly, but other
towns sprang up and trade in Chick
asha suffered. Yet with the mer-
chants carrying good stocks and
strong competition the town held
its own ana kept ahead Of ths others
and hss always been in the lead in
business, population and thrift.
For the FIRST year the town was
practically without Law, or police
protection, a deputy marshal or two
being the sole conservators OF the
peace. To be arrested by one Of
these On his own volition meant to
be carried 20 Fort Smith, Arkansas,
Or Paris. Texas, for trial, Either
place was 200 miles away. The

be endured. In 1916 congress passec
a law dividing the territery int
court districts; the Northern Soutl
ern and central, giving a judge
marshal, clerk and attorney to each
with deputies and commissioners
and the territory had a system oI
law and better protection was af-
forded the people.
Chickasha secured the location o.
one OF the courts, and with it ih'
permanent location Of a commits
sioner. a deputy marshal, clerk
constable and jailer A ourthousa
was built, and a district court with
district court with a grand jury,
and all the legal surrounding were
ours.
Judge Kiigore was sent to the
Southern district, and came to
Chickasha and held court twice
each year. His health giving way
and his advanced age, carried him
of after he had served about three
years. Judge Kilgore was a genial
man to those he loved and a pretty
good hater to those he didn't was
an industrious worker and cndeay-
ored to mete out tjustice.
With the court system came Mr.
Lucien Stowe as U. s. marshal,
genial, social gentleman who was
every mans friend, yet withal stern
enough to do his whole duty, and
criminals had a wholesome fear Of
him Mr.. Stowe died while serv-
ing as marshal, universally mourned
by the whole district.
Coming with this court was NJ.
NJ. Beavers as United States Com
missioner, and who served for four
years giving the best Of satisfaction.
He was a lawyer Of fine learning.
and 10 his judgments he met. with
but very few reversals. and even
those who failed to win suits could
find no fault with his rulings and
decisions The judge after the ex-
piration Of his appointment con
tInued his residence here and is
still a citizen Of Chickasha.
The court system came at a time
when Chiekssha needed something
to bouy up its tagging business,
and this was one of the greatest it
every had.
The town continued to grow in
iize and population but slowly un-

4 ENEFfCENT SYSTEM.

Some criticism of the working of the has been made but c. K. Turner Presi- dent of the Board of Control of State Prisons, says that the parole has been satisfactory In 93 cases out of 100. The seven lapses are hardly worth consider ation in comparison with the 93 men restored to honest industry, at great saving of expense to the State. The Ohio, MT. Turner says, and results in all the States where the parole system An ardent advocate of the system, MT. Turner argues in favor of making the conditions of parole more lenient. While admitting that the recommendation of the prison warden Is a very popular rule in a majority of cases, he would shorten the time of detention in cert cases and give the prisoner the benefit desire to reform. He advises that the period of Imprisonment previous to pa- role be left to the discretion of the gov- ernor. A further suggested improve ment of the present system would be prearrangement with friends Of the one about to be released, to secure for him some lucrative employment so that he would immediately become self supporting and self-respecting.
 This is encouraging. There Is no doubt that the parole system has been the means of saving many from a life of crime

on the free list. Potatoes and fresh fruits also remain free of duty, while petroleum retains the present rate of duty. It is the increase of duty on wheat that hits the United States the hardest, the increase being roughly from 40 cents per 100 pounds to 75 cents per 100 pounds. The quantity of wheat imported from the United States in 1900 was 465,933 tons, against 479,92S from Argentina and 278195 from Rus sa. Rye is obtained chiefly from Rus sia, and oxen, hogs and poultry from Austria Hungary and Russia. Trea- ties negotiated with these countries will provide for their enjoyment of minimum rates.
 It is estimated that an increase of revenue of SIS, 149, S10 would result from the imposition of the proposed duties. Germany needs the money, but there will be years when she will need our wheat.

l His bill of fare is long one, and in- cudes rats and mica, squirrels, chip | hunks, rabbits, muskrats, birds, birds
 eggs, frogs, crawfish, and freshwater ! mussels He is also a confirmed poultry thief, and having marrow guage" 1 body. he can enter the penthouse by a very small hole. But, be it said to his credit, he kills for food only; not for sheer love of slaughter, like his cousin the ermine; and where the latter will kill forty or fifty chickens in night,
 one or two will usually satisfy the ann hition of a mink. Ducks both young and old, and fowls which drink from
 brooks and ponds, are particularly liable to attack; for their enemy stud ies their habits pretty closely, and the female mink often makes her nest near stream at some point frequented by poultry This nest may be among the
 rocks, in a hollow log, under the roots
 of a tree which overhang the water; in
 hole which the animal has made in the bank. or In the burroW of musk rat which has been killed or driven away by the new occupant. From such a retreat she frequently rushes out to seize a hen or duck for her little ones, of which there are generally five or six, born about the end of April or the be- ginning of May. When pursued, she plunges into the water for safety. She can run very fast on land however moving at gallop after the manner of her race. When shot In the water, she
 usually sinks, owing to the weight Of her bones. She is very much smaller
 than the male and this difference in
 size Is said to be a provision of nature,
 whereby the young are protected from
 their father, who, were he not prevent
 ed by his greaterssize from entering the
 nest of the female, would deliberately
 devour his own offspring.
 Tn trapping the mink, men have a
 double object-revenge for his depreda-
 tions in the game preserves and poul-
 try yards, and the gain to be acquired
 by the selling of valuable fur. The skins are most valuable In the autumn and early winter; after that they rap- idly decrease in value, and before spring they are practically worth noth- ing at all. There are several reasons for this. One Is that the mink has habit of pushing his way through small opening and narrow passages; by do- ing this, he rubs down the hair on his shoulders, so as to spoil its appearance and lesson its value.
 Mink skins range in price all the way from twenty-five cents to fifteen dollars apiece, according to their condi- ton, the locality in which they were taken and the popular demand for mink fur, This demand varies greatly, and skins which are worth from five to ten dollars one year may not bring more than a dollar and half the next The best pelts come from cold countries, such as Nova Scotia and Labrador, and generally speaking, the darkest skins are the most valuable. Near the root of it's tail, the mink has a pair of glands which secrete a very disagree able fetid odor, and this odor, greatly attenuated. often clings to the fur, even after the latter 5Ias been made up into garments. $AA

4 DIETER ENT SIORY.

In pleasing contrast with the terri ble stories of lynchings that are conn., ing from the South is a tribute to a negro which appears in the Houston (Texas) Daily Post. This tribute is signed by twenty-one white citizens, who took this way of expressing their respect for Alexander Terrill an aged negro who died the other day at An derson, in Grimes county. The sign CTS say. "So upright was his walk 1 through life that we deem it but right that we, some of the citizens of An-. derson, should by this means make known to the world, and more espec- ially to the negro race, what the white people, not only in this community. but in all communities, think of a man, 1 though his color be black. who bears | himself at all times as a man should" | They go on to set forth that he had stood by the white people 'in plague and war" had realized his own posi- tion in life, without attempting to de- part from it, but still had always "borne himself as a man should, and acted from principle, not fear" He is commended as an example to all of his race, one whose life, well written, is worth their while to study, He made it his duty and desire to preserve friendly feeling in his heart for the white people of this community, and we will"
 This tribute is creditable to all con cerned, and it comes at time when 1t will make q strong impression.
