old warrior is asked if he has saved
any money he says: "Me no save any

not live with any of them, preferring a

WOULDN'T STAY BURIED.
Amusing Adventure of the Man Who
Was Dissatisfied With His Coffin.

A few weeks ago an Armenian,
while walking in the bazaar of Adana,
in Asia Minor, fell on the pavement in
fit. The people in his vicinity, find
ing him unconscious, sent for the mu-
nicipal physician, who examined him
and certified that he was dead.
He was recognized as being an Ar
menian, SO his body was handed over
to the authorities of a neighboring
Armenian church There was not
enough money in his pockets to pay
for the expense of his burial, so the
authorities postponed the funeral to
the next day, by which time they
hoped to collect enough money from
charitable Armenians. The body was
put in coffin and left in a corner of
the church.
At night, however, the man returned
to his senses, and finding himself in a
coffin, the narrowest' Of all prisons, be-
gan to shrek wildly His voice and
the gathering of the coffin awoke the
priest and attendants, who were sleep
ing in an adjacent building. They
were terrified, but eventually entered
the church, and perceiving whence the
cries came rescued the man.
Early next morning the latter went
into a coffin shop, where, by a strange
coincidence, the first person he met
was the man who had nailed up his
coffin the night before The latter
took him for a ghost and fed precipi-
lately, shouting for help the while.
The Armenian rushed upon him, and
Selling him demanded pecuniary salts
faction for the damage done to his
clothes in the process of putting him
in the coffin.
The undertaken tool. courage on
finding that the Armenian was not
a ghost at all, and retorted by demand
ing payment for the coffin and his
trouble the night before. The dispute
was adjudicated by the other peo-
pie in the coffin shop, apparently not
to the Armenian's satisfaction, for
having come to the conclusion that
Adana is hardly healthy spot for
him, he has removed to another town.

A Meeting for ireland.

The United Irish League held a
meeting last Sunday evening at Co

many prominent Irisnmen in the city.
who all have deep and abiding inter-
est in the home of their birth, or in
the little isle so green" where their
ancestors We're bern, says the Minneap-
oils Times
The purpose of the organization is
one that is far-reacling, and in Il
measure shows the great interest
which the lrish-Americans in this
country have for the oppressed in Ire
land.
The main purpose is to raise funds
with which to assist the Irish people
in securing for themselves the land OF
Ireland and taking it out of the hands
of British landlords.
On the other hand, the British land
lords in Ireland have formed an Or
ganization with which they will at
tempt to maintain the hold they have
at the present time on nearly all the
land in that country, and either force
the people to leave or occupy the land
as tenants.
The land is to be purchased at Il
fair price, and all that will be asked
is that reasonable time be given for
the purchasers to make their pay
ments.
On Oct. 20 there is to be held in
Fanuiel hall, Boston, 1.-The Cradle Of
Liberty" national convention of the
United Irish League, at which will be
present such noted Irish leaders as
Redmond, Dillon and Davitt, and per-
haps Generals De Wet, Botha and De-
larey, the great Boer leaders. where
the matter will be fully discussed and
arrangements made to carry forward
the present plans of the league.
Speeches were made at Sunday
nights meeting and the present condi-
ton of the people in Ireland was de-
tailed and the system Of British op-
preston most eloquently denounced.
1t was stated that at the present
time there are seventeen counties in
Ireland under martial law. This
means that in these counties no one
can be out after sunset, without being
accosted by the constabulary, who are
minions of the British government
There are at the present time 1902

and protect those interests even at til
cost of human life.
The league has been advised that af-
ter the meeting in Boston, Mr.. Dillon
is coming to Minneapolis, where he is
to address meeting of the friends OF
Ireland.
