face the indications all point tothe cleo
ton of Police Justice Murphy. No one
has yet been found during the campaign

Mr.. Pagan will be reelected or Judge
Murphy elected in his stead. Shrewd

In the west of Ireland the majority
of marriages take place between Christ
mas and Lent-a great number of them
on Shrove Tuesday. In the county of
Limerick 1t Is customary on the first
Sunday in Lent for the bachelors and
spinsters who have allowed the festival
to pass without pairing to mark each
other on the back with piece of chalk
or with chalked stick. The marks OF
distinction are not rigidly confined to
eligible, parties, but are often bestowed
upon boys and girls without regard to
their original Significance.
1t is asserted that the custom pre-
walls in other agricultural districts in
Ireland, that the chalking mostly goes
on when the people are going to or
from church ana that in towns where it
is carried on to vefy great extent the
footpaths are white at night with pow
dered chalk.-Londan Telegraph.
