Sinews of War Necessary.
For the least important of our political
battles in this country sinews of war are
necessary 1t must not be imagined the
great battle for Irish nationality can be
Waged without suitable ammunition. The
Irish NJ. P.'s, unlike American representa-
tiyes, receive no salary or pecuniary COM
pensation for their services. This being
the case, we should all strive to assist
this worthy movement, which has the in
dorsement of every intelligent Irishman all
over the world, and we should contribute
in accordance with our means to insure
the fund pledged from the citizens of Wash
ington. Let us remember and emulate the
example of the Irishmen of Philadelphia,
who raised a purse of $517, 500 to sustain
and encourage Washington's starving and
perishing army at Valley Forge.
ION behalf of the national officers of the
United Irish League, 1 tender our CRATE
full thanks to the press and our local sup
porters-a feeling which Is held in common
by the officials of the league toward all
those who have contributed to the ex-
tension, promotion and maintenance of our
great movement-which we confidently trust
will eventually lead to the complete eman-
cipation and prosperity of our beloved
motherland.
Here the prophecy of Cardinal Newman
can be appropriately recalled: I contem-
plate a people that has had long night
and will have an inevitable day. 1 am
turning my eyes to a hundred years to
come and dimly see the Ireland I am
gazing on become the road of passage and
of union between the two hemispheres and
the center of the world. l see its inhabi.

In vigor and Spain In enthusiasm

ftQdSOn O1 Pine Blutf, Ark, December 1, 1907. On entering the pretty home on Royall street wedding bells met every eye. decorating every conceiy- able spot, all white: ferns and brides roses gracefully resting here and there and altogether formed a scene of beauty long 10 be remembered. The reception hall and parlors Were aglow with electric lights that dispelled the clouds without Miss Brian wore q handsome gown of black net over black silk. Miss Nellie was 9Owned in white over white satin, princess,

The first table was friendship; wedding bells were arranged here beautifully hand-painted in forgetme-nots, fes- tooned in blue ribbons, with true true. On each bell was the word Friendship" the definitin on the back The pledge of friendship is still divine Though watery floods have quenehed
 it's burning wine,
 'Tis the hearts current lends the cup
 it's SOlW,
 Whatever the fountain whence the
 draught may flow.
 This formed the topic of conversa- tion at that table. The tally cards were wedding bells in friendships notices.
 Love was the next table. The defini- tion On the bells was:
 Love is a circle that doth move
 In the same sweet eternity above. Tally cards were wedding bells of love. which was the conversation at this table.
 Next was the courtship table, where the bells were in courtship, with the ] definition:
 What need of signs and glances sweet As long as faithful hearts can beat. These are all the head fountain Of woman's life, so the conversation was lively. Little Ellen Hughes was sit ting on the lap of Mrs. Brian and asked, What are those bells for?
 Mrs. Brian answered, Dear, they mean that Nell is to be married De- cember 4th to Mir. w. c. Hudson; you go to each table and anounce it. This was not arranged for, but noth ing could have been sweeter than thf announcement from baby lips. So lit ltle Ellen gracefully told the secret t' leach table, which remained no longe
 a secret.
 The guests progressed from on table to another, and then the foldln .doors between the back and front par }, lors were opened and all went to tn l.. front parlor, where two tents were al ranged and fortune tellers in then true to life read their fate in, th

Mrs. K. (. Thompson Entertains D A.

l R.
 Friday afternoon Mrs. R. C, ThOmp- son had as her guests the Daughters of the American Revolution belonging to the Pine Bluff chapter, of which she is regent. This chapter has been sion celebrated the anniversary of their first gathering, which was at the 1 home of Mrs. Thompson, who as re- gent has entertained the chapter at i all of it's meetings. Another notable reason for the gathering Friday was the presentation of the charter mag oak, and bearing the names of the 2S charter members, the names of the officers and the names of the nation al officers and is cOuntersigned by Mrs John Mcclure, the State regent.
 Mrs. Thompson. the regent, pre- sented the charter in a few well chos- ell words of commendation and en- couragement, in which she congrs.- ulated the members on the beginning they had made, and urged them 10 further future advancement Her re- marks were delivered in her usual engaging style and were enthusiast cally received by her guests.
 Accompanying the charter was 2 graceful letter from Mrs. Mcclure, II which she wished the Pine Bluff chap ter of the D. \. R. every success and prosperity.
 The charter is really a work of a.,, and was beautifully mounted oil al. eagle and draped with the national colors. It is so fine that the chapter has been urged to place it on eXhibi- ion in one of the show windo" doa ] own, and this may probably be done.
 After the short business session tIa 'r9ll of honor was read, which coG- siscs of the names and a 5rief ac- count of the deeds of the pacf,oCs -.a,3aeh whose service the men3e : .rs entitled to recognition as line :. ,ssce4daGts of the Revolutionary a=- >.Hes.

In the hall, great boughs of autumn leaves in their brilliant open fire place was filled with fresh lewn wood with rows of scarlet salvia 1 between, and the tall red cannas at the top representing flames. The effect was beautiful. The dlnlnS room was all in green with chrysanthe- nuns in palest lavender. The cen ter piece was a tree planted amid a wea'th of autumn leaves, and the lit tie tree and flower pot that was serv- ed each guest representing the an-
 cestral tree) developed into some thing good to eat. The delightful re- treatments were in the autumnal col ors, brown and yellow.
 l. Besides the regular members of the chapter on this delightful occasion there were several out of town guests These were Mrs. John Hill, Fort Smith; Mrs. Davis, Mississippi; Mrs Evans, Little Rock, and Mrs. How tell, Chattanooga.
