Two Brave Irish Bows,

Devlin and Conway OF Tralee,
stand forward and let us all have a
good look at you; for, though your
gallantry was in vain, that was not
your fault, and you are both heroic
Irish lads! So writes a contributor
to an English magazine. A fire
broke out at night in their native
town. 1t did it's work quickly and
cruelty. BY and by it was whis-
pered in the crowd that. two children
were in the burning house. This
was enough for Devlin and Conway.
Forcing their way through the
front windows, in spite of flame and
smoke, they searched for the poor
BARNS, and at last brought them out.
The pity of it was that these two
plucky fellows were too late, for the
cDlldren were so badly burned that
they died of their hurts. But God
bless these two Irish boys for doing
what they could to save the children!

The Howler Is an eighteen-page paper
bound with linen thread. The lonli-

American soldiers, whose work there
Ia one of constant colorless routine,
can hardly be estimated.
Finally the idea of newspaper was
started, and the scheme was taken up
with enthusiasm, eliminating few
weeks later in the creditable effort
from which the accompanying illus
trations are taken. Over two dozen
numbers have already been issued. An
arrangement with the cable operator
for the printing of uncensored news
gave to the little paper much infor-
nation about affairs in the United
States that was very welcome. The
balance of the publication is made up
of editorials, amusing personals,
poem. Of more than ordinary merit, a

and general Philippine news.

one of the boys, who breaks out thus:
POOR MIR. SULTAN.
With seventeen buxom wives to feed.
The Sultan's sure a dandy;
And his Two Fifty Mex. per month
Can scarce supply them candy.
Then. too, consider If you please,
The kids to be provided for

And royal servants by the score.

And should be phianthropic;

Should be so microscopic
Oh. Mr.. Sultan, it's shame,
You have my deep commiseration;
If ever l have cash to spare
I'll surely send you a donation.
Among the "limericks" are the fol
lowing:

Whose rifle was constantly rustin';
And when his comrades all joked him
And playfully poked him
His language was simply dsgustin'.

HE HAD HAlF-lUCk.
Good and Bad Fortune About Balanced
With Him.


With Him.
There is. such a thing as auckland
there is such thing as half-luck,"
said a Preside philosopher. Many
men are heard to complain because
they don't have luck, but I'm fairly
well satisfied, for have had half-luck
all my days.
when | was little shaver about 8
years old my mother sent me on horse
back from our farm to the country
store at the crossroads, to exchange.
or trade as we then said, six eggs
for some brown sugar. l carefully
placed the eggs three in one jacket
pocket and three in the other. My
mother wanted me to carry them in q
little basket or bag. but l had my
own notions and wouldn't do it. Well,
in trying to make our old horse Dolly,
run at circus gait-after got out OF
sight of the house, was thrown of
and broke three of the eggs.
when reached home with a small
quantity of sugar and an egg-spattered
jacket. l received the two doughnuts
which had been promised me for going
after the sugar-also a lively switch
ins. from my mother for breaking the
eggs. That's what l mean by half
luck. had broken only half the eggs
and was both rewarded and punished.
This halfluck has presided over
my life throughout" continued the
philosopher, according to the Detroit
Free Press. i've made money and
lost some of it, good health is mine
about half the time; one of my sons
is industrious-the other is not! one
daughter married well and the other
did not. OF my two wives, one ruled
me and the other one could influence.
So it has gone-hall-luck all the way
along; but I'm not complaining; no,
indeed. I'd be afraid to complain for
fear OF worse"

Another little poem. with a real
comic opera swing about it, is "The
Bell of Sulu." 1t runs in this strain !:
There's a beautiful Sulu belle.
With shapely, queenly head.
There's a mystic spell In her eyes gazelle,
And her teeth are betel red.
Her dark. long floating tresses
Are sweet CD with oil Of coco;
l know full well its fragrant smell
VIII surely drive me loco
Her nose is gently retrousse-
And mayhap slightly fiat.
I've often thought that once 1t caught
A swinging baseball bat
Her dress is rich in color.
Tho In texture cheap and mean;
Her waists thin stun of yellow buff,
And her pants are pink and green.
The since deceased sultan seems to
