A MEMORY OF IRELAND.
Incidents of Travel That Tourist
Pleasantly Recalls.

1t was very early one morning this sum-
mer that a certain Indianapolis girl stood
in the yet deserted portico of the little white
stone hotel known as Roche's, in Glengariff,
Ireland. She looked out over very lovely
bit of Irish scenery. The lawn ran gently
down and lost itself in wild wood, among
which cleaned the sun-lit waters of the
lake and beyond the lake stretched chain
after chain of low, gray mountains. The
air, fresh and sweet with the smell of
earth and flowers, had, too, the sharp tang
of the sea.
The wood and the lake and the sound of
distant waterfall allured like a call; the
girl went down the dewy pathway, through
the barred gate at its foot, into groves of
darkly-shining holly and laurel and oats.
A little stream, half-hidden in trailing
grass. rushed and chartered, tumbling over
it's rock bed and from deep in the wood
came the muffied roar of the waterfall
Through brambles and bushes, over boul-
ders and boys. alive to the beauty OF air
and wood and distant sound, laughing at
stumbles and jumps, she pushed on. follow
ing the winding course Of the riotous little
stream, until suddenly, with all the joy of a
discoverer, she came upon the bright water
flashing in it's fall over the dark cliff. There
in the silent wood it was like a visible trill
of joyous laughter.
A holly tree stretching out a broad. fiat
limb, crooked like a swing, invited rest. AS
the girl sat perched the holly tree
Dough, the tip of one foot cautiously
touching the ground, her face raised to
catch the spray from the waterfall, sud-
denly she heard steps. Some one was COM
ing up the road that led past the falls to
the lake below. For a moment she held
her breath and then gave a sigh of relief.
No one could look the broad. honest
face of the picturesque young fellow who
was coming swinging along with oars
ashoulder and not feel treasured His
smile and his rich brogue he asked if her
party had engaged a boat for the day,
made her truly regretful as she told him
that they had already spoken to Patrick
O'Flynn. This reply elected astonishing in
formation. "Sure, mum, if Patrick's your
man, I'm belavin' that your folks is LAWN

from the way she boxed his ears and
shrugged her shoulders at him, and turned
her back on him, it was evident that Mag

for Jerry. When the goats milk was pro-
posed, the girls FASTENED to say that they
believed they didn't care for any, but Jerry
would hear TO refusal and interrupted
every attempt with, "Och, mum, only a
ha' penny a glass and you're welcome
While they slipped the warm, strong milk
and tried to look pleased over it, there
came terrific deep, trembling noise from
the next room. Looking toward the parti-
ton between the two rooms, the girl from
Indianapolis saw little square window and
framed in it a donkey's head To her
amazed How did it get in there?' Jerry
said: "Shure, that's where it and the
chickens and goats slape, num-" Then she
set down the cup and said very decidedly,

supposed to be touring. So bidding fare
well to Maggie, and leaving Jerry goodly

pocket with Daisy she mounted the coach
and was soon rolling away to Glengarif.

THE POPE'S RECREATION.
The Pope works from eight to ten hours
daily, according TO the business on hand
but his evenings are devoted to recreation
exclusively. Three times every week he has
his good old sisters for supper, and more
often than not they bring some of their
mutual friends along. The cook must pro-
vide each individual guest with his favorite
dishes, and all have a merry time in ami
mated conversation touching on every topic
under the sun save that of politics.
KIND, BUT A REAL MASTER.
With all his good nature. kindness of
manners and personal charm Pope Plus
means not only to reign. but to govern as
well. With his secretaries he is now spend
ing an hour daily redividing the Holy City
into parishes. The parishes of Rome are
unique as to variegated size. There are some
numbering 10000 souls. and others having
less than 1900. To make matters worse.
, more than 800 Roman parishes are without
administered by monks, who recognize the
authority of their general. prior or abbot
only. The titular parishes of the various
| cardinals, too, are Independent of the vicar
general.
Plus became acquainted with this state Of
| things before his elevation to the papacy,
and soon after mounting the throne ordered
elaborate statistics and memoranda drawn
up. From these he learned that, owing to
the prevailing disorder in many parishes,
religious instruction is neglected to shame
full extent. The vicar general promised to
mend matters but Plus reminded him that.

that he considered it his duty to look after
the Roman flock in person, as far as posi-
BILE, at least.
In the course of Investigations it was dis
covered that the damask draperies, used in
the Lateran Church on holidays, were in
rags. There is something wrong about
that wrote Plus on the margin of the re-
port. for 1 remember that my highly es-

Church only a few years ago. The treasury

put himself thus on record by the frequency
with which he was asked for wholesale

kinds of merchandise. In single day no
less than three wagonloads of such things

To Love Means Increase of Physical
Beauty.
Beauty.

Spiritual development, material
success and the general upliftment
constitute no mean bounty. But low
ing has other rewards. One of these
is beauty. Not alone beauty of char
acter and purpose and gentility of
nature; but actual physical beauty,
of contour, expression and grace.
Hatred and pessimism take but a
short time to wreck the most won
drous beauty. They set mean lines
by the mouth; they contract and har-
den the eyes, fixing little wrinkles
there to emphasize their stamp; they
square the shape of the jaws; detract-
ing from the beauty of it's oval; and
they give to the countenance whereon
they sit a downward tilt that hollows
the cheeks and dispels every vestige
of beauty.
And love? Love is the natural
beautifer. 1t begins with the founda-
tions. It makes young the heart, in
stalling it as a veritable fountain of
perpetual youth, to pump gladness
and enthusiasm through every vein.
1t imparts physical poise as well as
mental. As every impulse is filed
with tenderness, so does every act
become gentle and the bearing that
of genuine culture. As every thought
is pure and unselfsh, so does it leave
it's imprint on the face. AS optim-
ism becomes a habit, so do the corn
ers of the mouth go up, and wrinkles
keep away. As faith and gladness
are ever present, so do the eyes fash
wide, and the creases of contraction
are avoided. People who are plain
and uninteresting have grown 1asci-
mating under the influence of loving,
Women who are undoubtedly homely
have changed till by common consent
they were called beautiful. Men
who were graceless have found a
charm. For it is true that thought
will alter not only the expression, but
also the lines and contour of the
features.-The April Cosmopolitan.

great pictures or written books of

the countless tasks that fall to wife
and mother or daughter in modest
households. Such women-and they

State Attorney Williams can find an easier way to prevent mob rule and violence than by trying to pass unne- cessary laws. Let him put flea in the ears of the corporations that are making big dividends of. the workman who are not given fair wages Take the case of the present strikers in this city as an instance Had the men been given the pay that the. men ill Proyi- dence, for instance, are getting, there would have been no strike, and there would have been no mob violence in Waterbury. Surely the local company should be able to pay as much wages as the Rhode Island concern. Let us get at the root of the evil and not pass laws to oppress those that are already overburdened.

There are many promising elements in the future, i'm parting q spirit of hopefulness which might readily give rise to undesirable speculative activity were it not for the very conservative policy adopted by those who control stock market and money market mov This spir- it of conservatiyeness, disappointing as it may be to oxerzealous operators, is one of the most satisfactory features in the situation. Under present mon etary conditions. and with the known large supply of securities awaiting buyers, any rapid and extended rise might easily invite disastrous conse quences; and, until larger share of the capital temporarily locked up in fixed forms, has been released, there will be no room for an excessive bull market. At the same time there IS no reason for doubting that gradual rise in prices accompanied by moder ate reactions is possible, and if kept within reasonable bounds will bring the stock market into a stronger and more satisfactory condition.

He did not like the performance, ac- cording to the policeman who arrested him, and hissed so loudly as to disturb the persons on the stage.

This is a common sense decision, says an exchange. Expression of approval by applauding, if permissible, implies the right to express disapproval. The be- spattering of the stage with the ancient products of the hennery or the pefting of performers with overripe fruit could be construced into an assault aud bat tery, and as such would fall within the ban of the law. It would be well, therefore. if those who have deter mined to drive off the stage the beastly caricatures of our race would employ lawful methods in accomplishing their purpose. Kissing and grooming, lf kept, up in a vigorous fashion, will be an effective means of getting rid of the stage Irishman, who must go.
