Our Billions Of Ancestors.

Has anybody ever stopped to think
how many male and female ancestors
it took TO iring US into the world?
First, Of course it was necessary to
have father and mother, and our
father and mother must have had q
father and mother, and so on back
through Sc generations to tn. time Of
Christ.
a careful calculation Of all these
ancestors shows that there must have
been 139,235,o17.4s9,534,97s births to
bring one Of us into the world. And
this is only from the time OF Christ,
and not from the beginning Of the
world.
According to one authority, if from.
a, single couple for 5000 years each
husband and wifi. had married at the
age of q, AMI there had been no
deaths, the population Of the earti,
would be 2,1ss.s15, followed by IA
ciphers. To hold such population
1t would take several worlds the size
Of ours.

A Letter from Her Son.

Among the truly remarkable feat.
performed by the postoffice employees
in the, way of deciphering addresses
and discovering the persons to whom
letters are addressed, the following
incident, which took place in New
York not long ago, is one of the most
interesting. and is related by the
Youths Companion. A letter was re.
ceived at the general Office adj
dressed. simply, MY Mother, New
York, America The chirography
was. somewhat difficult, but even
with this finally mastered and the de-
ciphering Of its Irish postmark, the
fact that there was more than one
mother in Manhattan with q son in
Ireland made the postoffice people
despair of ever discovering the right
full owner.
l. A day or two after the receipt of
this mysterious lnissive CHEEKY
looking Irislwonan elbowed her way
to the general inquiry window. "Ye
haven't q letter from me by, have
ye?" she queried. eagerly.
AS most Of the employees on that
floor had had Il laugh over the adj
dress Of the letter to my Mother"
the thoughts of it returned to the mind
Of the inquiry clerk at mention Of
me BY" 1t was quite possible that
such questioner might be the moth
err Of such writer.
The home OF the "b'y' was found
to be the same as the postmark on
the letter, and after a few more pre-
cautionary inquiries, the missive was
handed over to MY Mother" on con-
dtion that she o!en it on the spot and
verify her claim. This was done. and
"My Mother" was actually identified
among the three million and a. half
recipients Of mail matter in the great
city.

but q wee garsun
hardened many IL runic rhyme and
many a faery tune;
They sang them in the wires o'erhead
tits plain to you and me;
The singing wires from Sliav-na-mon
were white roads of the Sidhe.
Oh! dawn and dark the fairies passed,
when winds were keen and
high
You'd hear the little VIC sheeogs give
out bitter cry:
And often at the dead o night prayed
my angel near.
To shield the weeshy people on their
journey without fear.
On the Bridge Of Ballytarsney, when
the neishbors gathered there
They patted me upon the cheek and
smoothed MY tousled hair,
How kind their looks and pleasant
words that soro miss today,
The eXile's pain my portion in a cold
land far away.
On the Bridge OF Ballytarsney, when
viewed the hills around
And all the winding, sunny roads that
wandered past all bound,
L often wished were man and not
a lanniv quito.
I'd seek the streams Of Tir-na-n-os,
beyond Moondhcsa's height.
On the Bridge of Ballytnrsney, when
the evening shadows fell
And the dim groves and fields were
hushed just like faery spell,
A. sudden awe came DER me, and /
hurried down the hill
All lonesome for my mothers voice.

BY the truth that they loved and lived
for,
BY the work they meant to share,
They knew they were friends forever:
They had met, soul with soul, in q
prayer.
They said in that low God bless YOU"
Whatever one spirit could say
To another, as each departed
On a separate, untried way.
But because the way is eternal,
And because no spirit in vain
Can breathe on another Gods bless
ing,
Those pilgrims will meet again.

Whore the shamrocks Grow

Who're the Shamrocks Grow.
There's a pretty little island
Lying in Northern sea,
Whose hist'ry and traditions
Live in sweetest memory;
While I love my native country
And no better land I know,
Still l can't forget old Erin
Where the shamrocks grow.
Proud, indeed, we are Of Ireland,
The birthplace of my sire
Her virtues and her grandeur
Every Irish heart inspire.
There the dells, the hills and mountains
Where the crystal rivers flow
Through, the beauteo,,s wales of Erin,
Where the stamrocks grow.
True. her sons have left the hearth
stone,
Some were banished in exile:
Their undying love of freedom
Babe them leave the emerald isle.
Yet they bring her pride and honor
In the nations where they 90,
While their hearts remain with Erin =
Where the sfainrocks grow.

But few Of US. my masters.
Are troubled much that way.
We think if we are able
The smallest words to spell
And keep out of the foolish house
We're doing pretty well.
We have been told; that wisdom
Is crying in the street
She must be cold and hungry
And shy OF things to eat,
For meanwhile folly dances
Around the festive board
And feeds upon the very best
The market can afford.
You'll own it,; touchy business
TO know too much sometimes
About the boss's feelings
And possibly his crimes.
The way to keep him happy
And give you peace of mind
Is to be dull and innocent
And deaf and dumb and blind.
There may be satisfaction
For little Johnny Wise
To know his dates and tables
And carry off the prize,
But is he quite as happy
AS those who llonors miss
And show by their demeanor
That ignorance is bliss?

IS An EEL A FISH Or A SNAKE,

At little social gathering a few nights
ago. one of the party suddenly asked: us
an.eel fish or a snake?" The query i'm
mediately precipitated discussion which
threatened to become violent. As mat
ter of fact, while the query sounded like
puzzle problem, there is, in the Ian
guage of to-day, nothing in il" An et !
is not a snake, aud has. none OF the char
acseristics OF snake. Even his form is
not more than similar to that OF snake.
He has scales-minute, of course, but
none the less scales-and his habits are
those of the fish, even to taking bait. If
any better authority is needed, he is de-
scribed as an apodal fish without ventral
fins, etc, in the latest encyclopedia au-
thority. As fish he is most closely re-
lated to the catfish, which has the same
skin covering and resembles the eel in
flavor. In some parts Of the country
there is great prejudice against both eel
and catfish; in the one case, because OF
the suggestion OF snake, and in the other,
because of the suggestion OF the domestic
feline. As matter Of fact, both eel and
catfish meat are deliciously sweet and pal
atable, and in the south both msats are
highly priced. As to catfish this is espec-
tally true along the Mississippi river,
where they are caught as large as small
tarpon.

clared to be officially dead. Davies had

The tale of the disappearance of the man
left to go to the Colorado gold fields was
told in court. For one year after his de.
parture his wife heard from him regularly
then the letters suddenly stopped and
since that time not line has been heard
from the man. Efforts we're made to To-
cate him or his body, but all proved fu-

was held in trust by the Farmers Bank

FREE COUNTRY

Don't forget that your neigh.
bor though he differs from you
politically may be just as honest
in his convictions as you, that
this is free country where
freedom of opinion is one of the
biggest of the broad foundation
stones of our government, and
there would be and en- of that
form of government without it.
Be tolerant, therefore, or rather
not tolerant but rational, patriotic
and good natured. Stand by
your convictions and let your
neighbor stand by his if so
disposed. Keep cool. Argue
politics if you will, but do 50 calm
~ and reasonably and bear this
fact always in mind, that just as
you have made up your mind un-
alterably as to the way in which
you vote, ninety mine hundredths
of the population has done the
same thing.
