this incident of the stirring scenes
of that memorable day
ALT Moore's talk was made from
a room in the jail adjoining the
room occupied by Rawlings and his
sons. Going from the window back
down stairs to the gallows, he had
to pass by the door leading to the
boys cell, and it was open at the
time. The boys were sobbing as
he passed and the negro stopped and
waved his hand to them. Fare
well, boys" he said.

TRUTH" cried out both Milton and

Elder Rawlings Said to Aft Moore After the Two Con
derned Men Stood on the Platform of the Galows

Jesse, both of them seeming to feel
that the negro's continued accusa-
ton had frightened the chances
against them.
After reaching the platform lead
ing to the scaffold, Rawlings kept
his eyes on the negro as though he
were expecting him to confess the
crime When the negro shook hands
with him and began to declare again
that he told the truth, Rawlings
said:
Look me in the eye, niger, when
you talk to me-" evidently expecting
the negro to change his story.
But the negro died with the story
as he had told it, while Rawlings
stood by him and called Heaven to
witness his statement that the ne
gro was lying.

1.-The chosen leaf of bard and chief
Old Eden native Shamrock.

Old Eden native shamrock.
This dear little plant around which
cluster the memories and the hopes
of a valiant race will contribute it's
aid to the interest that will center
in the Jamestown Ten-Centennial Ex-
position.
The late Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore
was wont to boast that the best proof
that the race to which he belonged
was a musical people is to be found
in the fact that the harry, that most
exquisite of stringed instruments,
was their emblem. The genial band
master might have pressed his argu-
ment further by claiming for them
discreet taste in botany.
But the Shamrock, like the sons
and daughters of Erin, has taken
root in other soil than that to which
it was Indigenous. On the goth of
October of the present year a gen.
tleman of Norfolk, on the way to
his place of business, espied sprout
of Erin's plant growing along the
foot-walk. He plucked it and
carried it into a newspaper office
where it caused a genuine surprise
to the botanist.
1t is a real species of the three
leafed shamrock, the same instru
ment by which tradition asserts, st.
Patrick proved to the Ardrigh of
Erin the compatibility with reason
of the Most Holy Trinity.
The genus clover is common to
the world, but the three-leafed
species is a rarity, and it is quite
certain that some ardent son of Erin
planted the seed in Norfolk. Would
it be unreasonable to suppose that
Tom Moore, who wrote a beautiful
poem on the Shamrock, from which
the quotation at the head of this
article is taken, was the man who
planted the seed?
THE poet of all circles and the
idol of his own" was twice in Nor
folk during the years 1904. He
wrote some of his best poetry il. that
city, particularly "A Ballad on the
Lake of the Dismal Swamp"
When these were made the fate
of his friends, Lord Edward Fitzger-
aid and Robert Emmett was keenIv
fresh in his memory. He subsequent
ly immortalized both these heroes,
the one in poesy, the other in biog-
raphy. 1t is quite probable, there
fore, that Moore, on leaving ireland
for his American tour, brought the
seed of the cherished plant along

Mr. Rogers:

These two men are closer to John
