to do, but it made the tiny three-leaved
plant popular as it never was before.
In spite of all ingenious attempts to
discredit the beautiful story which
represents the patron saint of the EN-
erald Isle as using the shamrock for
an illustration Of the Holy Trinity, in
spite of the learned debates and AGA,
demic differences of such scholars as
Bentham and Britten, Colgan and
Cook, your true Irishman the world
over will ever cling to the chosen leaf
which grows in the moss, the moor
and the mireland" of his old home,
and the public Endorsement of a queen
surely did not weaken that affection.
Dear Shamrock Of Erin, so sacred and
green,
Though ages of sorrow thy past years
have seen;
From childhood's bright morning to man.
hoods decline
Thy leaflet we wear DER our hearts ever
thine.
In Moore's poem on the shamrock
he tells of the triple grass" which
Shoots up, with dewdrops streaming.
AS softly green as emerald seen,
Through purest crystal cleaning.
o, the Shamrock, the green immortal
Shamrock!
Chosen leaf Of bard and chief
Old Erfn's native Shamrock!
The mere student Of folklore little
guesses the feelings of the son of
Erin who bears the shamrock in his
cap or wears it on his breast. To him
it embodies all the religious and ro-
mantle, mythical and national ideas
which ever have stirred in the souls of
his forefathers. The great love for
the plant inspired the famous ballad
'The Wearin' O. the Green" which
tells that They're hangin' men and
women for the wearin' O. the green"
This did not mean, of course, that
people were being hanged for that,
but it was poetical exaggeration i'm.
plying their willingness to die, If nee
essary, rather than give up wearing it.
For the last half dozen years, under
the inspiring influence of the Sham
rock league, happily instituted and
even more happily carried on by the
Countess of Limerick, there has been
an unprecedented demand for the Irish
national emblem. Thousands upon
thousands Of little green boxes filled
with tiny punches of the trefoil have
annually been packed by that great
hearted woman and her friends and
sold the world over, the proceeds
going to aid disabled Irish soldiers and
the destitute relatives Of those Irish
men who have fallen in battle.
And where does all the shamrock
come from? It grows wild in every
county Of Ireland Along the noun
tains, in the old hill-pastures and in
the venerable meadows, it may be
picked in small quantities as early in
the year as February Is, and fort
night later in luxurious abundance.
There are national emblems that
may be eaten. Not so the shamrock.
A man may eat leek and enjoy it, q
Scot might even try a thistle, but an
Irishman must drown his shamrock.
That is as sure as is March II itself.

wHlskEY FOR RHEUMATISM.

The increased use of whiskey for
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. It is an almost infallible cure
when mixed with certain other ingre.
dents and taken properly. The fol-
lowing formula is very effective: ITO
one half pint of good whiskey add one
ounce Of Toris Root compound and one
ounce Of Syrup of sarsaparilla Com

before each meal and before retiring"
Toris Root Compound is product of
the laboratories Of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Dayton, o.
A prominent druggist states he fills
this prescription often and has seen
it's good results. It is surely worth
trying by anyone who may be afflicted.

HOG CHOLERA.

The Palouse Republic states that
for the first time in the history OF the
Palouse country the people are feel
ing the ravages of this serious dis
ease. and it is claimed that more
than 100 hogs have died in that neigh
borhood DR.. S. B. Nelson, of the
Washington State College, state vet
terinarian, was called and pronounced
the disease the regular hog cholera.
1t started on the farm of John Skeen,
who had lost 70 out of So hogs, and
figures his loss at above $1,000. A
number of farmers have given as
their opinion that the malt from the
brewery, which has been fed to the
hogs recently, is responsible for the
disease.
The st. Louis Journal of Agricul-
ture, published in a state where hog
cholera is prevalent, says:
Hog cholera is caused by germs
which enter the body through the food
and drink, through sores and wounds
and through the air. They live in any
place where there is filth, whether it
be in the wallow, the feeding floor,
the bed or drinking trough. They
are very vigorous and may survive
a freeze for months. They may live
in the soil for three or four months
and even longer. They will live or re-
main dormant in a pile of dried rub
bish for months, and as soon as prop
err conditions arise they will multiply.
All this shows that the very first
step to be taken after giving variety
of feed is to clean up every particle
of filth in the yard. Make the pen as
clean as your front yard. Burn all
the accumulated cobs and rubbish, fill
up all the wallows, clean out all the
throughs, clean the beds and burn
the litter Scrub the floors, troughs
and sleeping floors and disinfect with
carbolic acid and air-slacked lime.
Make as thorough war on filth as you
would upon the same article in and
around your house. You cannot get
things too clean. 1t will do no harm
to whitewash all the fences and fill
every crack and depression in the pen
with air-slacked lime.
Next step is to remove all the runts
and weaklings in the herd. These are
generally kept at a loss, and if the
disease breaks out in the herd, nine
times in ten it is in these that it first
attacks.

Livestock interests were taken to
task rather severely in an address de-
livered before National Wool Growers
Association by /. d. O'Donnell of Bill
lings. The theme was Alfalfa" and
he made the broad assertion that one
section of land devoted to the raising
of that crop would yield food equiv
alent to twenty sections of range. He
said that the money lost last winter
in Eastern Montana and North Dako-
ia through lack of food for sheep and
cattle, if spent in reclaiming land and
seeding it in alfalfa, would raise
enough feed to have fed every hoof
of stock in the state six months, and
further that the land so improved
would be a source of revenue after
wards, with good prospect that it
would more than double in value.

VALUE OF MULES.

About 400 mules were sent from Sc
attic to the Philippines by the trans
port Dix for use in the U. S. army
The mule has several characteristics
that commend him for such service.
One very important item is that he is
generally free from unsoundness and
diseases. He is less liable to strains
and injuries than the horse. His care
and feed are less expensive than those
required for horses.
George Washington introduced the
mule into this country in 1887, having
received present of jack from the
king of Spain that sired the first mules
raised in the Southern States. More
than half of the nearly 100000 mules
in the country are raised in the south
central states, where they are essential
factors in the production of crops.

Greenwich. CT. Especially -Conyers
Manor. the 1900 acre estate Of E.
G. Converse. a wealthy New Yorker
and a director of the United States
Steel Corporation. was the scene OF
thrilling pistol duel between three
burglars and the night watchman on
the estate. The men were driven
off after a number of shots had been
fired and just as Mr.. Converse, him
self heavily armed. rushed from the
house and went to the watchman's
assistance. The watchman declares
that one Of the would-be robbers
was struck by a bullet, but he prob
ably was not dangerously hurt, as
he picked himself up and made his
escape with his companions. 1t is
believed the three men had an auto
mobile in waiting outside the
grounds, as a moment after the
shooting a car carrying three men
was seen racing away toward Bed
ford, n. Y.
The presence of the burglars in
the grounds was made known by
Mr.. Converse's pet collie, who dash
ed out of the house, barking loudly.
and ran to a hedge near the watch
mans cottage. The watchman went
down to make an investigation. AS
he approached the hedge three men
sprang upon him, pinioned his arms,
and then one of the trio pointed a
revolver at his head and directed
him to make no outcry. In the
meantime the collie's barking had
aroused the household, and when
lights began TO flash in the windows
the robbers became frightened and,
releasing their prisoner. ran down
beside the hedge toward the street.
The moment he was released the
watchman opened fire with two re-
volvers which he carried, and the
fleeing desperadoes, turning as they
ran, sent back shot for shot. Just
as the three men were about to turn
through an opening in the hedge
leading to the road, the watchman
says one of them threw up his arms,
sprang into the air and fell to the
ground in a heap. A moment later,
however. he was on his feet and
running after his companions. All
three succeeded in getting away just
as Mr.. Converse, with a revolver in
either hand. rushed across the lawn
to take a hand in the battle.
The Converse estate is one Of the
finest of many beautiful summer
places maintained by wealthy New
Workers in this vicinity. 1t is situ-
ated about eight miles from the cen
ter of the village proper.

SALIENT POINTS IN TAFT'S
SPEECH ACCEPTING RE-
PUBLICAN NOMINATION

The chief function of the next
Administration is to complete and
perfect the machinery by which
these (RoOsevelt'S) standards
may be maintained.
The practical constructive
work of those who follow Mr..
Roosevelt is to devise the ways
and means by which the high
level of business integrity and
obedience to law 3. may
be maintained and departure from
1t restrained without undue inter
ference with legitimate business.
Mr.. Roosevelt has favored
regulation of the business in
which evils have grown up so as
TO stamp out the evils and per-
nit the business to continue. The
tendency of Mr.. Bryan's proposals
has generally been destructive of
the business with respect to which
he is demanding reform.
Unlawful trusts should be re-
strained with all the efficiency of
injunctive process, and the per-
sons engaged in maintaining them
should be punished with all the
severity of criminal prosecution,
in order that the methods pur-
sued in the operation of their
business shall be brought within
the law. To destroy them and to
eliminate the wealth they repre-
sent from the producing capital
of the country would entail enOr-
nous loss and would throw out
OF employment myriads of work
ing men, and working women.
A revision Of the tariff under
taken upon this principle
(making 1t approximately equal
to the difference between cost of
production at home and abroad)
began promptly on the
incoming of the new Administra-
tion, and considered at a special
session with the preliminary in
vestigatiOns already begun by the
appropriate committees of the
House and Senate, will make the
disturbance of business incident
to such a change as little as pos
sible.
This provision Cor
jury trial in prosecutions for con-
tempt Of Federal injunctions)
in the (Democratic) plat
form of 1896 was regarded then
as a most dangerous attack upon
the power of the courts to en-
force their orders and DEGREES,
and it was one of the chief rea-
sons for the defeat of the Demo-
cratic party in that contest. as it
ought to have been. The extend
ed operation of such a provision
to weaken the power of the court
in the enforcement of it's lawful
orders can hardly be overstated.
The Republican platform adopt
ed at Chicago explicitly demands
Justice for all men without regard
to race or color, and Just as ex-
plicitly declares for the enforce
ment, and without reservation,
letter and spirit of the Thirteenth.
Fourteenth and Fifteenth amend
ments TO the Constitution. 1t is
needless to state that 1 stand with
my party sQuarely on that plank
of the platform.
We must be prudent, and not
be lulled into a sense of security
which would possibly expose us
to national humiliation.
