RORY O'MoRE.

The words and music OF this song
are by Samuel Lover, who was born
in Dublin in 1897 and died on the ISL
and of Jersey in 1868. He was novel
list, song writer and painter Besides
numerous ballads and novels he pro-
duced Legends and Stories of Ire
land" Handy Andy" is one of his
best known novels. The popularity Of
his song Rory O'More'' was immediate
and extensive 1t was played by all the
bands in the procession to the corona
ton of Queen Victoria, and was there
after a favorite with local and military
bands. The popularity Of the song
resulted in the production Of the novel
Of the same name, which was after
ward dramatiZed. The song was pro-
duced by Lover, who declared that the
average Irish songs of his day were too
coarse, with too many "hurroos" and
Observation-Disclosures in them, and was
met with taunt, often used as argument
Can you do better?" He did, and it
has never ceased to be a favorite:
Young Rory O'More courted Kathleen
Bawn;
He was bold as the hawk, and she soft
as the dawn;
He wished in his heart pretty Kathleen
to please,
And he thought the best way to do that
was to tease.
''Now, Rory, be aisy," sweet Kathleen
would cry,
Reproof on her lip, but a smile in her
eye;
with your tricks. I don't know, in
throth, what I'm about;
Faith you've teazed till I've put on my
cloak inside out"
"Och! jewel" says Rory, that same
is the way
You've thrated my heart for this many
a day;
And t is PLACED that am, and why
not, to be sure?
For t is all for good luck" says bold
Rory O'More
Indeed, them" says Kathleen, don't
think of the like,
For half gave promise to scattering
Mike;
The ground that l walk on he loves,
I'll be bound"-
FAITH" says Rory, I'D rather love
you than the ground"
Nov, Rory, I'll cry if you don't let me
go;
Sure dream every night that I'm hat
ing you SOL"
"Och!" says Rory, "that same I'm de-
lighted to hear,
For dhrames always go by cOnthraries,
my dear.
Och! jewel, keep dhraming that same
till you die,
And bright morning will give dirty
night the black lie!
And t is PLACED that l am, and why
not, to be sure?
Since t is all for good luck" says bold
Rory O'More.
"Arrah, Kathleen, my darlint, you've
teazed me enough;
Sure, I've thrashed for your sake, Din

TRAINS NAY GO FAS-EE
No Limit to the Possible DEVELOPING,
OF Speed On Railways.

You may buy a locomotive for %3,Cf9,
that is, one that is popularity termed o
"dinkey," or should you wish one c. the
fastest, largest, latest passenger en-
gines in the world, $4,000 is the price.
While there are, now and then, stcr
les cabled from the other side of the
ocean.as to the wonderful rate Of speed
attained by this, that, or the other for
eign railroad, yet the recent new rec
ord in New Yor.L-107 miles an hour
will most likely hold the Europeans for
q time at least.
Many experienced railroad men are OF
the opinion that the maximum rate OF
speed in the passenger service has about
been reached, while an opposite view Is
held by extreme progressiveists. 1t is,
however, generally admitted that it is
more than possible to build engines
which will make better time than that
now made, but the fear obtains that it
will be impossible to secure men to
drive them, for the reason that there is
a limit to human endurance. In this
connection one Of the most prominent
locomotive engineers in the country
said:
ct matters not in the least how high
a rate of speed engine builders develop,
it will not, in my opinion, be a hard
task to employ men to drive them. With
the assurance of clear track, it is just
as easy for an engineer to run his train
at a rate of 100 miles an hour, as it
would be to cover half that distance in
the same period Of time. All that is
necessary to improve the present sys-
tenn is to keep the track as absolutely
clear as it is possible to do so. This
state of affairs does not exist at the
present time Granting that every
reasonable improvement is made in the
manner | have Undated, | see no rea~
son to fear scarcity of men to run
100 mile an hour trains.
Locomotive engineers are gradually
developed to that high point of eff
ciecy wherein they safely drive top
notch speed trains. From fireman on
q 'shifter,' they are gradually promoted
as they become experienced and dem
onStrate their qualities and reliability.
From the position of fireman the first
promotion is to be engineer Of the shift
ter and from the latter to engineer of
local freight, then to local passenger,
then an express train, and finally, after
they have thus been tried out and found
to be all there, they assume the re-
sponsibility Of driving the fastest trains
on the road. Thus it will be seen that
an engineer of limited or special
has naturally grown into the position,
and, if assured Of clear track, ninety
nine times out of a hundred, he will
safely roll his train into the station On
time"

HER REASONS FOR GAMBLING

DOG THAT WORKS THE PUMP.
When He Is Thirsty Ee Raises the
Water for Drinking.

A dog that pumps his own drinking
water is one of the curiosities OF
frankfort. This dog is a Newfound-
land, and his name is Jack.
From the beginning CT his career.
water was always given to Jack in one
way-from basin set under pump in
his masters yard. He was little more
than a puppy when his mind grasped
the fact that the movement OF the
pump handle meant water for him.
Accordingly, whenever he was thirsty
he would take the handle in his teeth
and shake it, barking vigorously.
This gave his master an ingenious
idea. The young man rugged to the
handle kind of pulley, with a cord
hanging from It, and piece of broom
handle about six inches long, fastened
to the end. To take hold of this piece
of broom handle and shake it vigorous
ly caused the rigging to move the han
die up and down and a little water to
flow.
The first time the dog saw the
dangling wood of a size SO attractive
and so suited to his mouth, he seized
it, and he shook it up and down and
from side to side. About q pint of
water flower into his basin, and he
took a drink
Ever since, whenever he has been
thirsty, Jack has pumped for himself

SAN FRANCISCO NEGLIGENCE
It May Lead to a Claim by Mexico
Against the United States.

MeXicanS assert that the bubonic
plague at Mazatlan and other Mexican
coast towns was brought from San
Francisco on the steamship Curacao,
for which reason they say a claim of
indemnity will be presented at Wash
1ngton. This appears to be new prop
oSitiOn. There have been some few
cases of plague in Chinatown" San
Francisco, and that city pursued an in
excusable course for long time in
denying that the disease existed there.
But that would not justify a demand for
indemnity from any other nation which
might have caught the plague from a
foreign steamship, as in this Mexican
case.
The Mexicans charge that the United
States did. not warn them of the plague
in San Francisco, as it was bound to
do according to the agreement made at
Vienna. How well founded that COM
plant may be is unknown, but 1t is
not improbable that no warning was
given, as even the Marine hospital SER
vice knew for long time OF the facts
and suppressed official mention of them
until comparatively recent date. That
was done at the urgent request OF the
San Francisco authorities.
MazatlaE, which is Mexico's finest
port on the Pacific, has suffered terribly
from the plague. For time the death
rate was from 80 to so persons daily.
The disease had been raging there for
some time before it was known that it
was the bubonic plague. The govern
ment finally took energetic means to
get rid Of it. But over 5000 persons
had fed into the interior, carrying
household effects and the disease with
them, before the government took
charge. AS result the disease appear
ed in nearly all of the surrounding
places. Physicians were sent from the
City of Mexico, the wharves and piers,
which cost over $2,000,000 and various
stOrehOuses, residences and other build
ings were burned to destroy the plague
germs. A Gordon of troops prevented
any one from going out or in, but still
the disease run it's course.
A bill to pay the losses would amount
to millions of dollars, and, while Mex
leo may have some fair ground of COM
plant, she can hardly have claim that
she can expect the United States to con-
slider If there had been competent
physician in the City of Mazatlan to de-
tect the disease when it first appeared
no such loss would have occurred.
