Long Ways From Home

All the old, dear hills and streams
Feller's sorter lost away
Long ways from home!
Sadder world by night an day
Long ways from home!
Birds, they never sing as sweet
In each violet retreat;
Colder hearts and hands we meet
Long ways from home!
Even a daisy in the dew
Long ways from home!
Seems a mystery to you
Long ways from home!
AM that rose, in light an gloom,
Where the sweetest of 'em bloom
Droops, as if it dreamed Of doom,
Long ways from home.
Yet the sun shines just the same
Long ways from home!
Still the red stars fade and flame
Long ways from home!
Same old sorrows-same old signs
Same old questions an replies:
But the rain is round your eyes
Long ways from home!
An we dream forever1nore
Long ways from home!
OF the loved, unopening door,
Long ways from home!
All the old, dear hills and streams
Twilight understanding beams
May God take us there in dreams,
Long ways from home!

Christmas Morn in Ireland,

Ills Christmas morn in Ireland; the
shadows ghostly dim
Fall before the glory Of the Galtee's
FURNISHED rim,
Where rhine is on the hedges,
And frost-bejeweled sedges
Flash as the famed Cleev Selfish fash
ed, when Wars red star rose
grim!
All silent sleeps the notified thrush
deep in the hazel void,
And hidden yet the linnets head with
in his pinion's fold.
Not long the fairy gnomes
Have sought their magic homes,
Where meath the Rath their palaces
are built Of wroughten gold.
The spell at length is broken and a
sound salutes mine ear
Like melody Of angels, blown on silver
trumpets clear.
Hark! tits the chapel bell,
Its joyous clamors tell
The newborn Child in Juda reigns a
King without compeer!
X
Oh! wild rose of the thorny brake
my Banba of the Streams!-
Mo Roisin Dubh! tits yours the face
that haunts my waking dreams.
BE strong and have no fear;
Your God is very near.
He will dry your eyes of sorrow when
His Christmas glory CLEANS!

Peg Mage.
Her brow THAN SNOW is whittier
And her deep blue eye is brighter
Than the diamonds in the ocean
Or the planets in the Sky,
And her tresses rumping blindly
Down her rosy cheek SO kindly
When the night clods scamper by.
You may tramp from Cork and Kerry,
All the way to Down and Derry,
And from Dublin OH the Liffey
On to Galway by the sea,
But you'll never see a creature
More bewitching, boys, or neater,
Than the buNom, laughing colleen
Who was christcned Peg Magee.
Her coy lips carved for kisses,
For cureSses and for blisses.
Have Il glory that is crimson
In their fond and luscious hue,
While Oh her cheek simple
SApS1NuCllS nItlc 0lllplS,
Locks like a rougish Cupid
That would thrill you through and
through.
You may tramp from Cork and Kerry,
All the way to Down and Derry,
And from Dublin on the Liffey
On to Galway by the sea,
But you'll never see IL neater,
More bewitching little creature
Than the buXonl, laughing colleen
Who is known as Peg Magee.
Then to see this precious jewel,
Adding flame and adding fuel
10 the heart Of every bouchal!
From the parishes around,
AS with eye and soul a-bubbling
She would dance the Road to Dublin"
Tripping to the madcap music
With Il light, elastic bound,
Then to hear her ringing laughter,
That would shake each crazy rafter
VI the Darn where the piper and the
neighbors used to be;
You might well say there's no fairy
In the glens of Tipperary
Half so funny or diverting
AS the purity Pag Magee.
You may talk Of courtly ladies',
Dressed in toys and gowns of Cadiz,
But they could not hold Il candle,
Faith! to Peggy in her plaid.
AS she trips along serenely
In her shawl she looks more uueenly
Than an empress Cultivated"
In cashmere and brocade.
You may beat from Cork to Kerry
All the bushes up to Derry
Fish up Naiads from the river
Or the Nereids from the sea,
But you'll never find rarer
Or, Jiminy fairer
Lump of female fascination
Than the purity Peg A1agee.

At the last Mass in Mullingar, on
Dec. 18th, Most Rev. DR.. Gaffney,
Bishop Of Meath, in referring to the
new Cathedral for Mullingar and the
collection of the necessary funds for
it's erection, said he had given Father
Magee, recetly transferred by him to
Mullingar, special charge Of the COL
lection. Father Magee had had very
considerable experience of the matter;
for some years ago he had successfully
collected for the Cathedral amongst
the Irish in America, and often from
exiled sons and daughters of the
Diocese of Meath. The Bishop said he
hoped that the response from MulIingar
parish would be at least as generous
as that Of the Irish boys and girls be-
yond the ocean.

SHOOK DICE FOR A WIDOW.
Two st. Cloud Men Toss the Bones
For a Bride.

Many peculiar stories have been print
wives, but none more old than is found
in the case of st. Cloud man who won
a bride in a game of dice with his rival.
There lives in that city comedy
widow, Mrs. Margaret DRESSING for
whose hand there has been consider
able rivalry between a professional man
who is a widower, and another man who
is resident of that city who is also
"sains wife," The professional man is
DR.. William Scruby, veterinary sur
geon and his rivals name is William
Heimsath. These two Williams have
ignored Sam Weller's advice Beware of
Vidders" and both for more than three
months have been keenly seeking for the
favor of the fair woman in question.
Both of them have pressed their suits
without result the widow being appar-
emily undecided as to which she would
accept.
The middle of the week the two met
by chance in buffet operated by Mar
tin Mutschlor on Ninth avenue and as
for a month or two the two rivals had
not been on speaking terms with each
other it was confidently expected that
there would be open hostilities. Nothing
of the kind, however, resulted. After
brief conversation it was decided that
game of dice should be used in deciding
which one should cease paying atten-
ton to the widow. Mutschlor, the pro-
prietor, was selected to preside as the
referee.
1t was decided to count the spots on
the five dice with each man having five
throws. The one who tossed the largest
number of dice was the one to have the
undisputed right to WOO the widow.
Heimseth threw first and count of
his five throws showed total of sixty.
The doctor followed next and peculiar
to say tied the other fellow with the
same number. A shakeoff of the game
gave the doctor fifty eight to his oppon-
ent's ffty-two. The loser took the affair
sadly at heart but decided to make the
best of it. The winner bought round
of drinks FOR the house and shook hands
with his erstwhile rival and then went
straight out to push his suit.

magnificent view of the Blue Earth
and lie Sueur valleys.
"Some of the early settlers remember
noticing, before the land was grubbed
and cultivated, Indications of an old
excavation just at this point. The place
by actual measurement is distant from
French league, and the bed of blue or
green clay, which the Indians used for
pigment, and which lie Sueur supposed
to contain copper, is found just three
quarters of league farther up the Blue
Earth, and nowhere else.
Fright on the very top of the mound
and within few feet of where the fort
must have stood fine large spring of
running water gushes forth, which in
pioneer days never failed, summer or
winter.
at is to be further noted that Peni-
caut remembers years after the event
the dragging from the river into the
forts enclosure of the small shallOp in
which his party had come from New
Orleans as though it were an achieve
ment of some magnitude. The hauling
of such boat to the top of this mound
would be somewhat of task while the
drawing of it merely from the water
to the ordinary river bank would be
a matter hardly worth mentioning.
SIN fact, the top of this mound tai
lies exactly with every data we possess
regarding the forts location, while no
other spot tallies with any of them.
"a careful study of the foregoing
facts, with thorough personal inspec-
ton of the country, made many times
during the summer of 1904, has con-
WINGED the writer beyond a doubt that
the mound at the mouth of the lie
Sueur, on the farm now owned by j. II.
Ray ESQ.,, is the site of old Fort LIE Hull
lier, and this conclusion was fully and
unanimously concurred in by Gen. j. H.
Baker, Judge Lorin Cray and Prof. U.
o. Cox, who in September of the same
year personally investigated the sites
of both copper mine and fort"

ming that is quite painful. While walk

planks that were across the sidewalk
and fell, spraining his right wrist, and
his left leg and head. The place
is where new cement sidewalks have
been laid, but they do not come together
leaving space of about foot, that was
covered by the planks.
