Feb. THE nearest point to the
American continent which Ireland pos

extremely western county of Mayo, the
widest and most barren region in all
wild and barren Connaught.
AchiH is associated forever with a

In that particular.
Unfortunately, however, there are no
ruins so far discovered in Patagonia, it
being a land which so far has offered no
evidences as to an earlier civilization.
There are no traces of ruined cities, tenn
pies, acqueducts. Nothing but the skele-
tons OF prehistoric beasts and the rudeSt
and most primitive utensils of savage
man. Isolated bands of Indians, leaving
their trails, worn by the rect OF genera

life, no higher wants nor higher desires
ever lived in the breath of the wind
that for countless ages has sweeped down

Nevertheless there may be ruins there
which modern travellers have overlooked
as they have even passed the Giant

Tall, sturdy, not too stout, with the
kind of iron gray hair and mustache
people call distinguished" and with
courteous, magnetic manners, the chief
executive of Iowa has rapidly put him
self at the head of the Republican par
~ in the state. although that common
wealth has been noted for the number
of able leaders it possessed.
The gift of oratory was acquired by
Mr.. Cummins in early years, but an
experience of one of his first attempts
at public speaking is rendered much
more amusing by the lapse of time than
it was when it occurred. When he was
twenty-one years old he went back to
his old home in Pennsylvania on Wis
ii. Soon after his arrival a soldiers re-
union was held there, and his friends
asked him to make a speech. The
meeting was held at a little crossroads,
and after several of the veterans had
spoken young Cummins was called up
on.
He arose with all the dignity he could
command and began the statement
that, unfortunately for him, he was
born too late to participate in the tolls
anu UlnSerS Oh lilc anu
share in his triumphs. Just here he
became afflicted with mental paralysis.
After au instant of hesitation he no
ticed an old soldier back in a corner
lean over to n companion and whisper.
The whisper, however. was audible all
over the house, and the speaker heard
with establishment the remark, "Its a
blamed pity he was born at ALL" That
broke the spell, and, like a flash, his
scattered ideas came back to him, and
| he made a speech that won the ap-
prevail of all his hearers, even to the
whisperer in the corner.
Governor Cummins is of Scotch-Irish
ancestry. his father being Scotch-Irlsh
and his mother of Irish extraction. He
