THE O'GORMAN MAHON.
He staggered on TO Death as lie
Had staggered Through Life.

The O'Gorman Mahon was about
eighty years OF age when I met him
for the first time. one could still see
what lion OF a man he had been. lie
was over six feet high lie had still
an immense name OF snow white hair.
and he had long. white beard. The
face was long and horse shaped. the
eyes were still bright and fierce and
defiant, and the voice had a deep note

and there was story OF his fighting
some three duels all In a morning.
IL was curious that he stuck 10 the
old ducling gospel TO the end. never
saw n man SO Disguised as he was
when he found that Mr.. Parnell would
not send n challenge TO Sir William
Harcourt for some insulting language
which Sir william had used 10 the
Irish chief. l can still recall the scene
1t took place at one OF the tables in
the tearoom Of the house OF commons.
The old warrior turned up at the con-
sultation. looking almost radiant. He
shifted the duellng ground from afar.
Some two or three OF the then Young
colleagues OF Parnell were present.
and this idea Of challenge appeared
TO their modern minds. OF course, rs
something grotesQue. But The O'GOr-
man MahOn had come I'm perfect faith
that a duel was a certainty. and his

was both strong and cheap. He could
tell very strange tales OF the old days
in Ireland and In many other parts OF
the world too. He had fought in some
OF the many civil wars OF the southern
hemisphere and had many marvels to
relate OF earthquakes. revolutions and

A FEW
WORDS ABOUT
J0BPRIN7INC

1t used to be that the quality of
Job Printing did not amount 10
much, SO far as success in business
was concerned. Any business man
or woman could get along fairly well
without it. But We live in another
and altogether different era.
Today it is necessary for business
people to have neat stationery if they
intend to occupy a prominent place
among their competitors.
When you see a piece of job print
ing crowded and the type jammed
too close together, with dirty-looking
ink and finger marks smeared over
It, on low grade of paper. it doesn't
speak we'll for the firm which uses it.
In fact, you don't have the same
opinion Of that place as you have of
the man whose stationery is clearly
printed with good ink on the bes,
grade of paper.
The quality Of stationery reflects
the standing Of ones business. Itis
therefore a duty YOU owe to yourseli
to have good printing.
