The Real shiII.Iah.

The shlllalah, accounted Ireland's ma
tional weapon of defense, was original
ly common blackthorn stick, but in
modern times 1t has been replaced by
the more wiry ash sapling. The real
shillalah is young shoot Of the sloe
shrub or blackthorn pulled by the root
from the crevice of some rock. After
being trimmed it is placed in the smoke
of turf peat, which softens the hard
fiber, and when it has reached a con-
dition as plant as rubber it is straight
ened. When cooled in the air 1t be-
comes as strong and firm as iron. The
trimming process is then continued.
and when II is desired to make a par
ticularly handsome weapon the spus,
SO effective in a melee or faction fight
are ornamented with small brass nails.

King AIfOnsO's Bet,

When the king of Spain was at Here's
he greatly admired horse belonging
to Senior Rivero, one of the notables Of
the town, who at once presented him
with the animal. The king refused the
gift, but the other day at the pigeon
shooting at the Casa de Campo, near
Madrid, a match was arranged be-
tween the king and Senior Rivero. The
stakes were, on the kings side, gold
piece of 100 pesetas, and on Senior RI
vero's a souvenir of Heres.
Like a skillful courtier Senior Rivero
lost and sent the king the horse which
he had so much admired as a souvenir
of Here's. The king could not refuse
to accept, but he at once sent the senior
one of the best horses in the royal
stable In exchange Sketch.

POOR TROMBETTI!
The Sad Tale of the Professor and
the Journalist.

the JOURNALIST
Professor Trombetti, whose praises
were so much sung in the foreign press
as knowing the greatest number of
languages of any one ever born, relates
an anecdote Of himself which occurred
Just after he was discovered" In
Rome he was so pestered by Journal
lists that his patience at last gave way,
and when cornered by the gentlemen
of the press his language became dis.
tinctly lurld
One day as he was coming out Of the
central postofice frank looking
young man stepped up to him, and,
holding out his hand, said: II am so
glad to make your acquaintance;
have been trying to find you for days"
"And may inquire with whom am
speaking?" Why, am y! Not a
near relation to be sure, but near
enough to offer you congratulations"
etc. Professor Trombetti, reassured,
and glad to get hold of some one to
unburtlen himself to, took the stran-
gers arm, and, as they went down the
street, gave in emphatic terms, a
description of his sufferings, his opin-
ion of journalists, and, incidentally,
much information about himself which
the papers had been valnly signing for.
Finally they parted with an engage
ment for dinner the next evening.
That night the professor was sitting

seen to spring to his feet with smoth-

about for an explanation, but he could
only sit down weakly and point to his
newspaper, the Giornale dItalia.
There, in large print, were his impru-
dent revelations of the afternoon. He
had been "done" by journalist-Pall

THE ~" AND THE a."
Why They are Dotted and How the
Practice Originated.

Practice Originated.
The dot over the 81" originated In an
accent which was put over the letter
when doubled or placed next a "u," a
practice traced back to the eleventh
century. In the twelfth century the
accent occurs in the combination of
'T' with other letters and In the four
teenth century the accent was changed
to dot-arst instance In MSS. 1927
which became universal when printing
made 1t inconvenient to retain both
FORMS
Originally Il" and -" were modified
forms of the same letter In the if
teenth century the q" at the beginning
Of word was heightened and orna-
mentally turned to the left, while in
the middle of a word it was unaltered.
Both forms were dotted, and after the
initial 'f' became s." a separate let
ter and a consonant, 1t still retained
its dot. This Is limited usually to the
small g." but abroad 1t may be seen
also over the capital letter.-London
Telegraph.

An irascible old colonel who used to
play golf at Sandwich, which is on the
river Stour, had habit, common with
many, of blaming everybody but him
self for his bad strokes. Finally one
day, becoming badly bunkered, he first
took mighty vengeance on the turf
with his club; then, glaring around in
expectation of the usually friendly
comments and nobody saying anything,
he blurted out, How can you expect a
man to play decent golf on these cursed
links with ships passing up and down
the channel P'-London Mail.

Why Gang Quit Work on Road.

Says the Weiser World: E. M.
Barton, who has just returned from
a trip to the Marshall Lake section,
brings the news of the suspension
of work on the wagon road at Pay
cite Lakes by Mr.. Whitelaw, one
of the contractors. From what Mr..
Barton could learn of the affair, it
appears that two crews have been
working on the road, one at Payette
Lakes, the other at Elk summit;
that Mr.. Agnew, who is bookkeeper
and timekeeper, and the represen-
tative of the contractors, objected
SO this arrangement, as it necessi-
tated more trouble in keeping the
time and other matters for the
gangs when they were separated.
He therefore wrote Mr.. Whitelaw
who went to Payette Lakes and
discharged all the men and teams
and l.. G.. Wilkerson, who was in
charge of the work.
The road is completed from the
Werdenhoff mine to this side of Elk
summit, and, with the exception of
the work at Payette Lakes, leaves
about Is miles uncompleted.
Timbers are being taken out for
the bridge over the South Fork of
the Salmon, and the work is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The work be-
ing doneis first class in every respect.
1t is to be deplored that the work
at Payette Lakes was not completed,
as it will leave gap in the road at
a bad point, and one that cannot
be completed until the snow goes off
next summer and the water has
run down. Mr.. Barton says that
two weeks more of work would have
completed the work at the Lakes.

been set for the hearing, but died
before he could do SO, his death
occurring on Christmas day of that
year. Previous to that, in 1899,
he began to grow feeble, and ar
ranged with James F. Walton to
take care of him the remainder of
his days, making will by which
he devised the land to Walton.
Walton made application to make

Contests were filed by Charles
Sailor and others, alleging failure
to comply with the homestead laws,
but the decision was as above stated.
