NEED FEAR But ONE ENEMY.
Turtles Can Defy All Living Crea-
lures Except the Hum0n Race.

lures Except the Human Race.
From Leslies Monthly.
Almost alone among Gods creatures,
the turtle has but a single enemy
man. It does not seem TO matter to
the turtle whether he stays beneath
the surface for an hour or a week,
nor does il trouble him to spend an
equal time on land if the need arises.
He is neither fish, flesh nor fowl, yet
his flesh partakes of the characters
tics of all three. Eating seems a mere
superhuty with him, since for weeks
at time he may be headed up in a
barrel (with the bung OUT and emerge
after his long fast apparently none
the worse for his enforced abstinence
from food, from light and almost from
air. And, finally, it may be truly said
that Of all the higher, warm blooded
organisms, there is none so. tenacious
of life as the turtle.
l. can truly say that 1 have seen the
flesh cleared out of turtles shell and
hung up on a tree, where for hours
the quivering, conVulsive movements
of the muscles went on. Not only so,
but on one occasion only the head and
tail were left attached to the shell.
Some time had elapsed since the meat
had been cut out of the carapace, and
no one could have imagined that any
life remained in the extremities. But
young Dane, noticing that the down.
hanging head had it's mouth wide open,
very foolishly inserted two fingers be-
tween those horny mandibles. They
closed, and our Shipmate was two fin
gers short; the edges of the turtles
jaw had taken them off clean with
only the. muscular power remaining in
the head. Signor Redi once cut a tur-
ties head off and noted that it lived
for twenty-three days without a head,
and another, whose brain he removed,
lived for six months, apparently un-
conscious that it had suffered any
loss.

hard hitting, closely contested game.
Errors abounded also, and it fell to
the lot of the locals to get the worst
of the dumping.
The score was tied in the tenth in

and assisted by costly errors on the
part of Persons in right field, and Rub

looked like a hopeless contest to win
after that, but Kelly's men got to-
gether and soon had the bases full, and
finally sent three men across the rub
Der, falling one short in tying the
score again.
Both pitchers were hit hard, and the
fielding on both teams was ragged. A

Owner Boyer has finally succeeded in
landing an infielder, that from all ac-

The new man comes from Washing

headed the hitting averages in the

melodies has the title of The Harp
that Once Through Tara's Halls. but
whether there is a harp in existence
known as The harp of Tara cannot
say. Tara ceased to be the residence
of the kings of Ireland about the be-
ginning of the sixth century, 1 think.
Brian Boru. the King of Ireland,
who defeated the Danes at the battle
of CIontarf in 1014. and there lost his
own life, was a harper. His harp IS
still in existence and is preserved in
Trinity College, Dublin. Whether that
harp descended to him from his pre-
decessors of Tara. and is also known
as the harp of Tara I cannot say"
Col. Michael prepared the following
memorandum:
''Tara's Hall was on Tara Hill,
small conical hill, 507 feet high, in the
Province of Leinster. Ireland. seven
miles southeast from Nevan. The le-
gend is that the kings of Ireland re-
sided at Tara $50 A. D., and that for
many centuries the biennial councils
of Ireland held their councils there.

the palace (Tara's HalD can be seen

Washington, April Ex-senator Kean
of New Jersey and several representa-

respondence with the President and
the Secretary of State in regard to a
proposition to exhibit in St. Louis the
ancient harp of Taras halls"
Mr.. Boyd. secretary of the Jersey
City branch of the United Irish League
of America, asked Senator Kean in the
name of that organization to aid Jus
in the achievement of the laudable en-
terprise. The ancient harp is dear to
the Irish race the world over. and as
fresh in their memory as when it
sounded the last note in old Tara 8

questing President Roosevelt to use his
good offices with the custodians or
other proper authorities of Ireland,s
ancient harp used in the days of King
Brian Boru, now in the museum Of
Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland for
permission to have the harp exhibited
at the St. Louis Fair.

and authorized the employment of Mr..
McGrath, an umpire there who has
good resord as a fair and competent
official, until McNamaras place could
be filled Offers were made to William
McDermott of Columbus, o., and to
King Bailey, recently with the South
ern League, but so far no terms have
been arranged for the employment of
either. McGrath will continue to Off
ciate at Augusta until a new man is
secured.
The chief complaint against McNa-
mara was that he was too hasty and
severe. He did not seem to have the
proper control of players, and always
resorted to expulsion. which was Bit
terly resented in several instances.

SOME FAN FOOD

The Columbia State has the following
comment on Jimmy Kennedy, the bath
finders new third baseman: Savan-
nah has a splendid infielder in Jimmy
Kennedy, the third baseman. He is
graceful and fast and throws beauti-
fully. He is the best man in the posi-
ton that has been here this year. al
though Spratt of Augusta is a good
one. Yesterday Kennedy climbed after
a high one and started it to first base
before his feet touched the ground
again. The rest of the infield is not
above mediocre.
