Clarke Luby 1nd Charles Kickham as
editors Of che Irish People, the Fenian
organ of the eos. This paper, which
boldly advocated physical force as the
only effective method of righting Ire
lands wrongs, then more numerous
than now, was suppressed in 1865 by
the government. O'Leary was arrest
ed, tried and convicted and was SEN
fenced to 20 years penal servitude
Five of these years he spent in jail. In
1870 he was released, but for Is years
was obliged to live in France. being
denied admittance to his own land.
After 20 years of exile he returned to
the country Of his birth and devotion
and spent the balance of his DAYS in
Dublin, surrounded by a company of
young nationalist litterateurs, some of
whom have won distinction in the re-
public of letters.
O'Leary was born in Tipperary in
1880 and received his education In
Cork, Dublin and Paris. AS z boy he
Joined the Young Ireland movement
and had to fee the country because
of futile attempt to rescue two of the
revolutionists of '4S, who were execut-
ed at Clonmel. In Paris, where he
settled for a time. he studied medi-
cine and with his diploma returned to
Dublin to practice his profession. He
was then drawn into the Fenian move
ment, with its sequel to him of prison
stripes and suffering.
O'Leary was a deep student of his
tory and literature and was an able
and forceful writer. All through his
life the call of Kathleen nj Houlihan
was ever in his ears and he died as
he lived a devoted lover of his coun-
try While the movement with which
he was so intimately connected in the
eos failed in It's specific purpose, it
awakened English statesmen to real
izing sense that there were radical
wrongs In Ireland which should be cor
rected and we have the authority of
Gladstone for IL that the Fenian move
ment led to the disestabllshment of the
Church of England in Ireland and to
more critical study of the many sided
Irish question.
To-day the present Liberal admins
tration stands committed to a home
rule policy for Ireland. with an En-
glish king sanctioning the settlement
of the questions which have so long
kept Ireland and England at swords
point, and no fair student of Anglo
Irish history can deny that this situa-
ton Is in large measure due to men of
the O'Leary stamp, who compelled =
study of Irelands wrongs and forced
consideration of her case at the bar
of English public opinion.

the engineers have designs on those
which are yet untouched by ties and
tracks.
OF course, the presence of the rail-
road does not interfere with those who
desire to climb to the top OF a noun
tain, but the experience Is robbed of
its charm when one is compelled to
cross and recross railroad tracks con-
stantly and the trip is robbed of the
element of danger, excitement and
thrill by the knowledge that the anna
teur climber may stop and wait for a
car when he has tired of the climb.
The latest engineering scheme of this
kind is that which Is proposed to the
top Of the Matterhorn 1t was thought
because of its precipitous slopes and
Jagged structure that this peak would
be free from rails for all time. but two
engineers have made application to
build line to it's top. The view from
the top Of this mountain Is so grand
that there is a constant stream of Wis
itors during the season notwlthstand-
ing the difficulties and the cost of the
climb.
The only opposition which has devel-
oped to the scheme is from the Alpin-
lists who reap quite a harvest acting
as ambitious mountain climbers
guides for tourists, but this is hardly
of sufficient Importance to prevail in
the face of the pressure which is be-
ing brought to bear by the projectors
The line will extend from Zermatt
to the top Of the Matterhorn and the
company will erect all the necessary
buildings for the accommodation of
guests at the summit. 1t will be oper-
ated electrically and will cost $1,000
900. Four years time will be re-
quired in its construction. The trip
now requires at least twenty-four
hours and costs about $40 for guides
and other expenses. With the new
railroad in operation the time of the
trip will be reduced to two hours and
will cost $40.

The extreme effective range of the
new field piece with which the Ameri-
can army is being equipped Is about
four and a half miles, in which we
have a tri6sng advantage over the Jap
anese. and target practice has shown
that the degree OF accuracy obtainable
is nothing less than marvellous In
the initial trials forty-fve shots were
fired at targets set at 1000 and $500
yards the first fifteen at the shorter
ustanle, the second fifteen at the
longer, and back to the shorter range
for the last fifteen. The average time
of the shots was four seconds apart.
and the percentage Of hits was 7G-odd.
Experience has proved that the Ameri-

Caustic.

Recently a wearied looking little
mother, carrying small baby, boarded
a street car and took seat next to
two men who were earnestly engaged
in conversation Neither of the men
was very handsome, and it must have
required considerable nerve on their
part to hand out their photographs
among their friends unless the pictures
had been previously retouched with
sandpaper. In a few minutes the baby
began to cry with reliable yelp that
could be heard above the din of the
street babble for half block, and with
a greachy glance at the youngster, one
of the men arose and peeyishly re-
marked to his pal
Il think we had better sit over here,
jim"
This ungallant act plainly embar-
raised the little mother, but she was
equal to the occasion
1T won't do bit of good to change
your seats, gentlemen" said she in a
finely sarcastic voice. 1.-THE baby can
see you quite as plainly over there as
he could here"

lie had other tastes which were inhar-
monious, and so extravagant and eccen-
trio were his ideas that. after having
partly constructed a temple to Claudius

Constructive Activity Ends.
With the death of Constantine, A. d.

but interest In building seems to have
terminated, although under Theodore
an attempt at revival in building was
made.
The C@sars were no more. the East
ern capital became the seat of the en-
pire, wars had impoverished the coun-
try and the recognition Of Christianity
as the state religion naturally caused
the pagan temples to fall into dsuse.
From this time the ruin of the ancient
city may be dated. 1t is true that upon
the authority Of Proeopius we are told
that IL the sixth century many of the
monuments were uninjured. In the

MAPS HELP A MAN SLEEP.

Mental Geography the Best Soporffic
According to n Drug Clerk.
A haggard-looking man strolled into
a downtown drug store the other day
and asked the druggist for help. He
said he had trouble in getting sleep
when he retired. No matter low sleepy
he might be during the day or how
much sleep he might have lost, the mo-
ment his head touched the pillow he
was wide awake and lay thus for sew
eral hours. Once asleep, he was hard
to waken, but he had to be up at a
certain hour, and in consequence of his
peculiar affection he was losing more
sleep than he could stand.
The drug clerk regarded him quiz
zically a few moments and then re-
piled: my dear man, you don't want
medicine. What you want is some
thing to change the trend of your
thoughts. Do as a friend of mine did
He was troubled the same way and
found that the old folks plan of imag-
ing sheep passing barrier and count
ing them was out of date. So he began
trying to name all the States in the
Union. He soon got them so he could
classify them alphabetically Then
when they no longer interested him he
started on the counties of this State.
"He now has them at his tongues
end, classified up to the fourth letter.
Now he is starting on state eanitaIs
and their locations; then he will take
UP county seats. A moments glance
at an atlas during the day shows him

the plan Is that he rarely has to think
