portant plastering work in Louisville.
1t comes to them unsolicited. Every
architect and builder will tell you, if
you have a house to build: Let
Barney Campbell do the plastering.
He is honest and straightforward. He
does good work" This is compli-
ment not often paid to a contractor,
but Barney Campbell is straight
goods" as the saying goes. He is
the oldest living plasterer In Louis
VILE In 1851 he helped plaster the
Cathedral of the Assumption. No
one else that he can recollect who
worked on that great edifice is now
alive He plastered the City Hall,
the County Court House and all of
the big public buildings and his work
was all that could be desired.
A few years ago Mr. Campbell said
to the writer: Il have quite bust
ness. | leave everything now TO my
sons. l am going to take things
easy" but Barney Campbell can be
seen every morning on the streets at
Z o'clock looking after things. He
can't help it. He likes to work.
The firm of B. j. Campbell & Sons
make a famous plaster which is now
used on many public buildings. They
have factories on the river, near
First street in this city, and also in
Jacksonville, Ind. The demand for
their goods is great. 1t looks now
like Barney Campbell would be
plastering houses until he is 100 years
old and he is now only - years OF
age

RELICS OF WORTH.

Visitors to the Munster-Connacht
Exhibition in Ireland have an oppor-
tunity ov seeing the famous crozier
and mitre of Bishop O'Dea, who ruled
over the Episcopal See of Limerick,
A. d. 1881. The crozier is seven feet
in length, of massive silver, and ex-
quisitely engraved. 1t has been lent
to the exhibition by Bishop O'Dwyer,
together with the mitre of Bishop
O'Dea, which is also relic of worth
and interest. To this strilkingly pic
turesque collection has been added
the ancient reliquary of st. Mary's
Cathedral, Limerick, the chaicc used
by the Cardinal Rinuncini when sol
emnizing mass for the gathering at
the Kilkenny confederation.

O'Donovan: cit was cooked by your

THEIR CLEAR UNDERSTANDING

The best Of all stories ever told by
Sam Jones was that which brought
him to clear understanding with his
wife the morning after they were mar
ried. He told It in sermon, offhand,
and had every eye in the congregation
moist. There had been good deal Of
strife in some households, spats be-
tween husbands and wives, separations,
divorces and other troubles. Sam said:
: IN going to try to stop it. It's all
nonsense. Maybe I can't get at you
old fellows who have been nagging at
your wives for many years, and been
manhood; but I'm goin , to say some
thing for the young married folks and
those who contemplate matrimony.
You all recollect when me and Mrs.
Jones got married. Most of you vet
Grams were there that night, and ate
Of the weddin' supper. We all had
good time. We stayed up late. The
young folks danced and we looked on.
By and by the midnight hour sent you
all home, and Mrs. Jones and went to
ben. When I woke up next morning
there she was sleeping like an angel
alongside Of me. She was beautiful to
look upon-as you all know. She g
beautiful yet, God bless herl Beauti-
III LII uOA AOFO LII uuC dAO Jul SullO1
beautiful in her domesticity, beautiful
in character. To have such a wife is
the pinnacle of hope, the summit of
happiness. To think Of her is to praise
God!
II awoke her with kiss and said:
Mary, what is all that white stuff on
the rocking chair4 I never saw it here
before
q why, Sam, it's my Clothes she
replied, with lovely blush. Then I
pointed to another chair and said:
7And, Mary, what are those things9
They have a familiar look She an
swered:
Q Why, Sam, dear, those are your
breaches. Why do you ask such silly
questions7'
Because, Mary, I want to have a
plain, clear, frank understanding with
you. We have agreed to travel the
lond road Of life side by side. There
will be things for you to do and things
for me to do. Let us make up our
minds there shall be no conflicts on
the journey. There are your laces and
rickrack; there are my breeches, Mary,
I want to ask you which you intend to
wear during our married life, the laces
and rickrack, or the breeches7 She
didn T hesitate a moment, but said
- Sam, you wear the breaches; III
stick to the laces and rickrack. -
