CONNEMARA -
CYCL0NE'S
REINSTATEMENT
By RICHARD BARKER SHELTON
Copyright, 1908, bu 7 c. Mcclure

His doting parents-of that far famed
poor but honest variety-had named
him Michael Ryan O'Sullivan. But an
equally doting public during the few
years he held its attention had chris
tened him the "Connemara Cyclone"
History-ring history-has it that it
was Black Nolan, the sporting as
semblyman from the Tenth, who first
gave him the name. After that great
night with Pug Bresnahan, so runs the
story, while Bresnahan's seconds were
still trying to fan the breath of life
back to him and Black Nolan close to
the ring divided his time between
watching this interesting operation and
lingering a thick, green wad in his
pudgy hand, the latter suddenly turned
to the man beside him and said
"Aisy meat was he. Tell the b'yS that
backed T. fy Bresnahan they've got
wad O thinks comm to- EN-. Ut's cy-
clone that lad is-a COnnemara cy-
clone" And the sporting fraternity,
which is ever ready to take up any
name, provided only it be neighboring
to appropriateness, sanctioned the chris
tening.
Like many another man, the Cy
clones success was bat the pathway to
his own undoing. In the two years sue
ceeding his first great victory an enter
prising manager kept him almost con-
tinually before the public. The Cyclone
made money rapidly AID spent it with
an equal avidity. Numerous easy victo-
ries over opponents unworthy of his
steel intoxicated him with success. He
neglected his training, he gambled
heavily; but, the worst of all, he dis
covered that whisky was a fine anti
dote for the poison of gambling losses.
The end came rapidly after that One
night at the Pastime club a clever
youngster brought two quick blows
through the Cyclones guard, and for
the first time in his life he lay prone in
the ring and was counted out. 1t was
a mercy the blows had been heavy
enough to render him completely un-
conscious and spare him the humilia-
ton of the jeers and hisses and cat
calls of his backers-the catastrophe
came in the second round. and they had
given odds of to on him.
The defeat had the effect of SOLDERING
him into a realization of his condition.
For a time he left whisky to its own
devices and took up training with eX-
emplary thOroughness. But his dissipa-
tion and the sting of defeat seemed to
have unnerved him. All his encounters
of the next year were calamitOus to
him and left his manager financially
involved. 1t was then they parted COM
pany in a huff and the Cyclone decid-
ed to quit the ring.
His next venture was In the theat-
rical line. The proprietor of a cheap
variety house made him an offer of q
comfortable sum per week to appear in
a twenty minute monOlogue. In this he
was successful for a time, and night
after night the house was crowded
with men who, although they knew
him as a has BEEN" remembered his
PALMER days. He went from city tC
city, appearing in faultless evening
clothes and huge paste diamonds anG
with prudence might have laid by 9

A STORY OF WHISTLER.
The Picture That Was His Even
Though 1t Had Been Sold.

Though 1t Had Been Sold.
A certain 4ady So-and-sO, who ad-
mired Whistler's genius to the extent
of purchasing one of his pictures,
never was able to obtain possession of
her property. One day she drove to
the studio in her victoria. Mr.. Whis-
tier went out to the sidewalk to greet
her.
Mr.. Whistler" she said, 1.-TWO years
ago l bought one of your pictures, a
beautiful thing, and have never been
able to hang it on my walls. 1t has
been loaned to one exhibition or an
other. Now today l have my carriage
with me- and l would like to take 1t
home with me. l am told it is in your
possession"
Dear lady" returned Whistler, you
ask the impossible l will send it TO
you when l have 1t again, but it is not
here. You have been mlsinformed.' -
And so forth, and so forth, to the same
effect, and the lady drove off without
her picture.
After she had departed Whistler

and, to the great astOnishment of a
friend who had been an involuntary
listener to the above conversation, he
brought forth a canvas.
Here it is" he said. "She was right
about one thing-it is beautiful" And
it was beautiful.
"But the impudence of these people,
he continued, who think that because
they pay few paltry hundred pounds
they own my pictures. Why, it mere
ly secures them the privilege of having
them in their houses now and then
The pictures are minew-Harper's

For the eight months ending with
August 1901, the excess value of our
exports over imports, amounted to
$500, 200, 900 the record for commerce
in this country. For the eight months
ending with August of this year the
excess was 5000, 119, 1888, quite a de-
crease from the previous period, but
still the largest ''balance of trade" for
any nation.

again. and with the gambling the whis-
XIV. and with the whisky the mono
Iogue grew rather haZy. the articula-
ton thick, the gesture vague. One
night i'm a western city the curtain was
rung down just in time, for before he
could stagger to the wings he collapsed
in a miserable heap.
II went from bad to worse after that
until Michael Ryan O'Sullivan became
a common barrOom loafer.

doors of Casey's saloon swung open

painfuIly to his feet and made his
lhrching way down the street to fall
into a convenient doorway. He drew
himself I'D as best he could on the
stone steps and soon was snoring lus
tiIy.
It was gray morning when he awoke
and got unsteadily to his feet. He
pushed out his dilapidated derby,
brushed his clothes and buttoned his
frayed coat about him. As he did so he
became aware of a bundle on the steps
beside him, a bundle swathed IN a blan'
ket, and even as he looked feeble wall

Curious Irish Marriage Custom.

A curious old marriage custom, call
ed locally "the settling" still survives
in County Donegal, Ireland. and in the
Scotch districts of Kintyre and COwal.
After the marriage has been publicly
announced the friends of the couple
meet at the house Of the brides par
ents to fix a suitable date for the mar
riage. a bottle of whisky is opened,
and as each guest drinks to their hap
piness he names a date. When each
guest has named date an average is
struck and settling" is complete.
Neither the bride nor bridegroom ever
thinks of protesting against the date
SO curiOusly chosen.

An East Indian Legend.

According to a tradition of one of
the tribes of India the sun created a
man and woman at the beginning of
time, and this couple had twelve chill
dren. When they had all come to an
age to shift for themselves the sun di-
vided them into pairs and placed food
of all kinds before them. On their
choice depended the fate of their de-
scendants. Those who took vegetables
only became the ancestors of the high
est caste of all, the Brahmans, while
the Santals, the lowest of all castles,
spring from those who chose pigs. The
KOls declare that they are descended
from those who took bullOcks' flesh.
and to the sustaining power of the food
of their choice the Larka, or fighting
KOls, attribute their strength and fine
physique. When these latter, at the
beginning of the last century, first met
English troops they were quickly i'm
pressed with the fighting powers of
the strangers, and, finding that they,
too, ate bullocks flesh, the Kols paid
them the great compliment of assigning
them the same pair of ancestors as the
KOls. But by the time eleven pairs
had chosen their share of the food pro-
vided there was nothing left for the
unfortunate twelfth couple, and they
had to beg food from the others who
had Jared better. From this unlucky
pair spring the Chassis, who do not
work, but support themselves on the
charity and leavings of others.

TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.


Never before have the wealthy peo-
pie of New York provided SO gener-
ously for their coachmen and foot
men in the way of furs. Even moder-
ately cold day is an excuse for trot-
ting out mountains of fur, made into
great peaked caps, into heavy capes
and combinatios of both. The fact
that the winter has been unusually
warm has not prevented the use Of
furs. No matter II it made the car
riage men uncomfortable. the furs
had been purchased At great cost. style
debating. and they must be worn, says
the New York Tribune.
In front of . fashionable store on
Fifth avenue the other day there stood
3 carriage with crest. On the seat
was the driver, pile Of black bear
skin, with nothing showing but his
face. At the carriage door q boy of
perhaps Is could hardly stand under
similar load.
A tattered youth, sans oyercoat and
the other requisites Of winter. came up
the street whistling. He saw the fur
clad youth and came to a theatrical
stop in the middle of the pavement.
"Hully geeI" he cried. "A bear, an
loose on de avenue! I'll just call a cop
before he eats somebody"
The boy of the furs tilted his nose a
bit higher, as became servant of the
rich.
what ZOO zoo did you get loose
from?" asked the tattered youth,
nockingly.

one in the furs.

exclaimed the other in surprise. "Jim-

"Oh, it is you. is it?"
"'Course it is. Say, what's the mat

Just then the "missus." sable clad,

HIGH TIDE OF PROSPERITY,
Kansas Bank Report Shows $500 De-
posits for Each Inhabitant.

Topeka, Kan, July 9.-Kansas Is en-
joying her greatest prosperity. There
are $6350 on deposit in the banks of the
state for each inhabitant. This is a
record breaking report.
State Bank Commissioner Albaugh
HAIRS just made a report, with the show
ing as stated. Supplementing his re-
port on state and private banks is one
from the comptroller of the currency
covering the national banks. In refer
ence to the report Mr.. Albaugh says:
"The showing made is not only graft
flying but is a surprise to those who
have watched most closely the banking
situation in the state. When the high
water mark was reached last March it
was the generally accepted opinion that
deposits would gradually fall off owing
to the demand for money to put in the
spring crops and harvest the wheat, and
that there would be no further increase
until after the wheat crop was put upon
the market.
I'm the face of these demands there
has been an actual increase In the indi-
vidual deposits of $1,310,17S.25. With
this money on deposit and with wheat
harvest in progress that will yield 100,
600, 900 bushels Kansas farmers are at
the high tide of prosperity. The re-
turns from the crops this year will in
crease the deposits to 500 for each
man, woman and child in the state
