IRISH HERE BEFORE INDIANS
Prof Monaghan AmuSeS Fellow.
ship Club With Twist to History

Who discovered America? Chris
topher Columbus? No, the Irish dis
covered America
King Alfonso will declare war on
Ireland when he learns that the famed
Spaniard must at last be robbed of
his glory and historians will turn over
in their graves when they hear Of
their mistake
Where did the American Indian
originate? The my stery is at last
solved. He came from Ireland.
Professor j. 4. Monaghan of Notre
Dame University amused tbs Irish
Fellowship club yesterday with these
revelations. He said that "Pat"
discovered Iceland, Greenland and
America and proved that the Irish
were here first by the Indian tribe
names. The Onandagss tuoK their
name from the Irish O'Donagans; the
Tennessees from Hennessy; the Shaw
ees from Shaughnessy, the Michigans
from the Mick Egans; the Oregons
from the O'Regans; the Omahas from
the O'Mahers; the Osceolas from the
O'Scullys. 1.-THE early Irish were
riding through the woods one day in
W11consIn, said the professor,
"when they missed O'Connor, where
is O'Connor?' asked one. Oh. let
o 'Connor walk said another. and
thereupon the Wisconsin Inoians ware
named Oconomowucs.

How to Be Happy

The secret of happiness max e
others happy.
1t is simple, is IL not, easy of per
formance, accessible to all.
How are you to make others happy
By living for them, by doing what
their sane wishes demand, by sub
merging self.
1t is game you can play, robe
you can don at pIsssure, pose you
can strike and keep.
1t is life you must live, to do it
must be your pleasure not your purpose
and you do it not because you want to
but because you must.
When you give, you must give for
the other not for yourself. and when
you take, you must take for the other
and not for yourself, and when you
do, you must do for the other and not
for yourself.
The gift that admits of a return
possesses no virtue.
I Happiness is self-content 1t cannot
be buught, it must be earned. Work
ing for it is buying it: earning it, ii
doing your duty without thought OF
the result.
To strive for happiness is vain. te
seek it is folly, to force it is madness.
Like the leaves on the trees in the
spring time it COMES when condition:
are ripe.
Il the faculty inherent or cult
waited? Thoughtlessness and a desirs
to shun responsibility will answer thai
it is born in and with US. Thought
fulness and q Willingness to carry
your own burden will urge belief il
the doctrine, that it is matter O.
education.
Happiness frequently comes from
adversely, often from sorrow and pain
rarely or ever from prosperity.

Home Coming Near.

The home coming program is about
completed and many Inquiries are
coming in, regarding he arrange
ments, and Watertown is prepared
for the largest crowd it has had in
years.
If you have friend or relative
who at any time was resident of the
city, write them to come nr hand the
name to thJse in charge of the ar
rangements, and tell them that Water
town will extend the glad hand and
welcoming smile to the prodlgal sons
and daughters, who have wandered
afar, and bid them visit the scenes of
their childhood, to gather again
around the familiar scenes, to take a
reminiscence dip in the swimming
hole Some one has said that what
Watertown really needed, was a
gathering of this kind for the educa-
tion of itself, and the instruction of
its visitors, but however that may be,
the city will take couple of davs OF
from its regular pursuits, and pause
for moment, perhaps to think what
it is and what it ought to be. How
may she develop the opportunities in
which she exceIs other places, and
how to overcome the deficiencies that
she may never have realized before.
A day or two devoted to sentiment,
week devoted to looking upon herself
the eyes of a stranger, with
the sordid routine given up for d
time, may beget in a city a new
breadth of vision and the dev elopment
of public LOYALTY.

MAKES A PROM Sc
Will Equalize Rate From
Flint to Columbus.
General Manager Whysall Of C. d.
q n. Says New Tariff Sheet
will be Issued.

A promise to adjudicate the rate
between flint and Columbus We.
made to the Ohio railroad commits
sion by George Whysall. general
manager of the Columbus. Delaware
and Marion Electric Railroad com
pany.
Complaint. was made to the COM
missioners by DR.. ID. G.. Sanor that
the company was charging excess
iare betweent Flint and Clinton
Vile; that transfers were refused
in Columbus and that conductors
were tearing off more mileage thai
called for by the trips.
Some time ago the rate from
Columbus to Worthington was rails
ed to Is cents and from Columbus
to Flint to 20 cents. The rate from
Clintonville to Columbus is 5 cents.
1t appears that passengers living at
Flint or beyond have been paying
Ia 10-cent fare to Clintonville and
then paying 5-cent fare to Colum-
bus, thus saving nickel These, it
is claimed, have been refused trans
fers in Columbus.
Mr.. Whysan was out Of the city
attending al convention at Dayton
but at the ofiices OF the company
in Columbus a statement was is
sued relative to the tearing off
OF undue mileage coupons. The rate
along the road, the company Of
fetal said. changes every certain
number of miles and the passenger
has the opinion of getting off at
the stop or before it is reached +.
For this reason mileage is torn
to the end OF the stop, whether
the passenger is riding or not.
Mr.. Whysall is quoted as say
ing that he knows nothing about
the excess mileage, but that he
would issue a new tariff sheet
charging the proper rates, and that
he would Investigate the matter oI
