Last fall the wife of a farmer
near here had n sister come from
Chicago to make a visit, says the
Fulton Gazette. One day the
threshers came, and the guest
insisted on doing the work and
sent her sister away to rest. When
p threshers filed in to supper that
night they found a sandwich tied
with a ribbon, N chicken croquet,
one cheese ball the size OF a marble
and a button hole bouquet at each
plate. Nothing more. The men
refused to come back for breakfast.

Some Coed Advice.

There are plenty Of women who
would stretch out and die before they
would steal hairpin or postage
stamp, and yet these same women
would not hesitate a moment to steal
another woman's good name. There is
always this consolation to one who has
been misrepresented and slandered, the
slanderers are invariably those who do
not know you. A woman with busy
tongue is never so actively engaged as
when harping about the shortcomings
and petty sins Of some victim whom
she has never met. 1t is the way Of
our unkind womanhood. But, praise
be, we aren't all of that kind. Some
Of us have lived sorrowfully enough to
understand that we ourselves are not
always without fault, and thus can we
be lenient with those who also have
faults. We are all here on this great
big beautiful world each one playing
n silly or noble part, according to
our make up. And the play so quick
ly ends. What a waste Of sweet mo-
ments to make others unhappy.

of age, whose life had run in dark
and tragic lines, one who had been a
slave to the mines and one in whom it
would seem that all JOY had been
stifed for ever. Yet as soon as this
old Irish miner appeared before the
prosperous and scholarly committee it
was not ten minutes before his humor
irradiated the dry proceedings and set
the table in a roar.
How fragrant and perennial is that
flower of Irish humor! eXclams a COM
mentatOr on this incident. How like
a star it is, too, shedding it's kindly
beams through the darkest night! In
deed it is both star and flower, diverse
as they may be; for could anything be
more delightfully."- wayward, delicious
ly perverse and serenely inconsistent
than this same Irish humor! Being
ever the twin sister Of pathos, one will
find it blooming in melancholy sweet
ness by the new made grave upon the
wind-swept hill. But if we may be
pardoned the Irishism, it is also the
twin sister of joy, and SO may be
found frolicking where the sunshine
of life falls brightest.

IronwOod, Mich, March 21.-'The
members of Div. No. of this city
celebrated as usual the national festi-
val of the order, with the exception
thta this year it was confined entirely
to local talent, bringing it within the
scope of the "Shiu Fcin Shin Feiu"
description, but at the same time
making it very enjoyable to the mem
bcrs and their friends. At 10 a. m.
the entire division, preceded by the
Third Regiment band and the Ladies'
Auxiliary, attended solemn high mass
at St. Ambrose church. At 2 p. III. a
grand parade was formed, with the
Ladies' Auxiliary in carriages, and the
line Of march extended through the
principal streets of this city and
Hurley, Wis. headed, of course, by
the same band, which discoursctl
some very beautiful airs. After the
parade the ranks were broken at the
hall to partake Of bountiful supper

cling of Irish jigs, reels and clogs was
a special feature, but owing to a lack

Donovan and will probably not be

County President Shea came forward

Irish Hunor.

Irish humor" seems to be as eter-
nally green as the Irish shore. Moth
ing III the way of misfortune or
trouble can wholly destroy it. A few
days ago typical son Of the Emerald
Isle, although he had found a hard
lifework, far from his native land, was
summoned to appear and give evil
dence before the anthracite coal COM
mission. Before many minutes had
been taken up in examining him the
chance came for which he waited, as
naturally as duck waits for the rain.
He testified that he had been half Kill
led in the mines twice. The judge
remarked that he must be dead then.
"But no, one side got well before the
other side was killed." quickly replied
the Irishman.
In a minute the commission of staid
and dignified men, and the judges and
the lawyers were all smiling; like the
flash Of sunbeam the mirth went
from countenance to countenance, thar
had all been serious with the weighty
problem Of existence, that had cas-
a gloom over all gave away befor.
the irresistible humor of the old Irish
man.
Twice in his life, as he testified, tn,
old fellow had been half killed. Fo
thirty years he had lived in the under
world, always in debt to the company
and only once in seventeen years hat
he received his wages in actual mon
ey. Here was man over GO year.

"The main point-and the one vital
points that the regeneration is com
ing at last. England is weary Of her
miserable failure in Ireland, and is
determined to have a new order of
things. She is sick and tired of the
rcproach of maintaining in Ireland a
system that would be disgrace to the
most tyrannical government III the
world-a middle ages autocracy plant
ed in the very midst of the great
modern British democracy.
'It may interest you to know that
in Ireland to-day there are no factions.
Such friends Of the people as William
O'Brien, 7. P. O'Connor and Il. w.
Russell are standing side by side.
Catholic and Protestant are working
side by side like brothers. They have
at last learned what we in America
were so fortunate as to learn long ago
that there is no ritual, no creed up
on the altar of country.
"The north Of Ireland is now sub
stantially united with the south and
the west for this programme:
81. The land for the people.
"2. Home rule-an Irish nation
within the empire, a government of
Ireland for the Irish, by the Irish.
Gall Ireland to-day is athrob with
hope. The good signs in the skies are
seen from the cottier's hut and are
talked over by the side of the peat
fire. Everyone saw in Ireland, high
OF humble, bade me carry message
of love and of hope to their friends on
this side of the sea-to you who have
been staunch and true, to you who

the cause, to you who have never wav-

A Coed Gard Trick.

Lay down three spot cards separate
ly, face up. Counting the spots on
the three cards as units, lay on as
many more cards as will make each
pile count 10.
For example, you lay down four
spot, a five cspOt and six-spOt; on
the first you put six cards, on the
second you put five cards, and on the
third you put four cards, thus max
ing each pile count 10. .....
Now shuttle the cards thoroughly
and hand them to the performer of
the trick, who has not, OF course,
seen what you have been doing, and
he will look them over and tell you
the sum Of the spots on the cards you
laid down at first. Or he can tell you
this if you tell him how many cards
there are in the three piles; it is not
necessary for him to handle them.
DO you see the reason? The cards
you hand him count cightccn-thc
three YOU first laid down and the six
the five and the four you added
Now, each Of the three piles is sup,
posed to count 10, making thirty cards
in all, and he has 1S in his hand. But
he must deduct three Of these for tho
cards you first laid down, because
they are represented by certain
number of spots, and do not count as
individual cards. He has, then, Il
cards in his hand, and as it takes II
more to make 30, the sum of the
spots on those first laid down must
be Is.

If there is one thing more than another
that the average Washington woman has

any desire to be inhospitable. but because
the sights of her home city are familiar

Pennsylvania came to Washington to
