igan and Canada, than goes through
the Suez, and We don't howl about it
very much.
Well, sir. have studied Gibraltar
in my geography, and read about it
in the papers, and seen its pictures in
advertisements, but never realized
what a big thing it was. Now, who
ever thought of putting that enormous
rock right there on that prairie, but
God. l suppose the English, when they
saw that rock, thought the good Lord
had put II there for the English to
drill holes in, for guns, and when the
Lord was busy somewhere else the
English smouged the rock away from
Spain. by playing game with loaded
dice, and when England got 1t, that
country decided to arm it like a train
robber, and hold up the other nations
of the earth.
When vessel passes that rock 1t
has to hold up its hands and salute
the British flag, or get mess of hard
ware fired into its vital parts. but that
is all it amounts to, cause it couldn't
win any battle for England, and could
only sink trading vessels. The walls
Of the rock are perforated from top
to bottom, with holes big enough for
guns to squirt smoke and shells, but
il the enemy should stay away from
right in front of the holes, they might
shoot till doomsaay, and never hit
anything but fishing smacks and ped
oilers of oranges.
Gibraltar is like white elephant in
q geological garden. 1t just eats. and
keeps on flies with it's short tail. and
visitors feed it peanuts. and wonder
what it was made for. and how much
hay 1t eats. Gibraltar is like 500
gold piece that man carries in his
watch pocket for an emergency, which
he never intent.s to spend until he gets
in the highest place in his life, and
it wears out one pocket after another,
and some day drops through on the
Sidewalk, and a tramp finds it and
goes on bat and gets the worth of
his money, and has good time, II he
saves enough to buy bromo- settler
the next morning after. 1t is like the
Russian war chest, that is never to
be opened as long as they can borrow
money.
4, II Gibraltar could be put ON casters
and rolled around from one country
to another, England could whip all Eu-
rope and Asia. 1t would be a Trojan
horse on larger scale, and be a ter
ror, but. say, If it got to America,
we wouldn't do a thing to it. We
would run = standpipe up the side. and

Gibraltar, in Spain and England
My Dear Foster Uncle: 1t seems good
to get somewhere that you can hear
the English language spoken by the
Irish, and the English soldiers are
nearly all Irish. When you think OF
the way the British government treats
the Irish, and then you look on while
an orderly sergeant calls the roll of q
company, and find that nine out OF ten
answer to Irish names. and only one
out of ten has the cockney accent, you
feel that the Irish ought to rule Eng
land, and an O'Rourke or an O'Shan-
messy should take the place Of King
Edward. It makes boy who was
brought up in an Irish ward in Amer
lea feel like he was at home to mix
with British soldiers who come from
the old sod.
Dad says that there is never an
army anywhere in the world, except
the armies of Russia and Japan, that
the bravest men are not answering to
Irish names, and always on the ad-
vance in q fight, or in the rear when
there is q retreat. Dad says that
in our own army. and when the north and
south were fighting, the Irish boys
were the fellows who saved the day.
They wanted to fight nights and Sun
days, and never struck for an eight
hour day, or union wages. When the
fighting was over, and soldiers were
sick, or discouraged, and Respondent,
an Irish soldier would come along,
maybe on crutches, or with . bullet in
his innards. and tell funny stories and
make the discouraged fellows laugh in
spite of themselves, and when another
fight was on, you had to tie the wound
ed Irish soldiers to their cots in the
hospital, or put them in Jail, to keep
them from forgetting their wounds
and going to the front for one more
fight. Dad says if there was an Irish
nation, with an army and navy, the
whole world would have to combine to
whip them, and yet the nation that
has the control Of the Irish people

tenant had become engaged to .
wealthy widow.
Even this even brought little happi-
ness to Halkotf. Day and night he was
haunted by terrible fear lest the
money-lender should demand payment,
and thus bring down his ruin before
the marriage took place.
One morning. the third after his en-
gagement had been announced in the
newspapers, Halkoff received letter.
A glance at tine envelope told him from
whom 1t came. He tore 1t open, read
ing the curt contents with feverish
haste.
What did 1t mean? Why did the
money-lender congratulate him, and
then, in words full of meaning, add
that he had prepared a great surprise
for his clients wedding day? To Hal
ioff it sounded as a threat. There was
a flendish satire in the lines.
His wedding day! The thought
drove him mad. He snatched his
sword from the table, and. half rum
ming, burst into the money-lender's Of
flee.
What does this mean?" he de-
manded.
The Jew smiled and shrugged his
shoulders. Then an ungovernable fury
came over the lieutenant. He drew his
sword and dashed blindly at the bent
figure of the old usurer.
Then he fled from the Office, leaving
the old man-dead!
In q drawer in the ey-lender's
office was found letter addressed to
Lieut.. Halkoff. When opened, it re-
vealed the surprise that the old man
had intended for his clients wedding.
1t was not demand for instant pay
ment, but full acquittal of every
penny that HalkoH owed him. More
over, when the old Jews will was
opened it was discovered he had left
all he possessed to-the man that had
taken his life. For the intended bride
was the money-leDder's god-child.
The feelings of Lieut.. Halkoh when
these facts were discovered were indie
scribable. Rage. disappointment and
remorse all found place in his heart
but 1t was too late. He had wrecked
his life, and convict prison was all
that the future held for him.
