MILES SISTER DIES OF JOY.
Generals Visit After Long Separa-
ton Proves Too Much for Her.

LEOMINSTER, Mass, August %
Overcome by the excitement of meeting
her brother. Gen. Nelson A. Miles. whom
she had not seen FOR many years. Mrs.
Mary Jane Merriam, seventy-seven years
old, died yesterday of heart disease at
her home in Winter street.
She had been suffering from heart dis
ease for about five weeks, but was in
usual condition early last night, when
she received visit from her brothers,
Gen. Miles and Daniel G. Miles. 1t is
though that the joy and excitement of
seeing her brothers was too much for
her, for soon after they had left she was
taken suddenly i'll. Gen. Miles was the
guest of honor at the old folks picnic At

Wore Distinctive Dress.

Formerly the Claddagh people wore a
distinctive dress, resembling that Of the
fisher folks of Holland. a red skirt. a blue
waist. an elaborate head dress and bare
feet and legs, but this costume has been
discarded by the younger women and is
only worn by their grandmothers now. All
the women go barefoot however. They
never wear shoes or stockings,
The men are engaged exclusively in fish
ing. although they do all of their own
masonry. carpentering and boat building.
They pack their fish In the village but
carry a portion Of each catch across the
river to the fish market OF Galway.
There is an attractive resort nearby for
city people on the Bay of Galway. with
long promenade. several hotels and a
number of comfortable villas.

The foreign appearance of Galway is
accounted for by the fact that many
Frenchmen, Spaniards and Dutchmen
were in business here in early times. The
town was named from the Gauls and for
centuries an extensive trade was carried
ON with the continent by foreign mer-
chants and foreign fleets. Richard de
Burgo, founder of the Burke family. was
given the country of COnnauSht by the
king. and having, in 1872 crushed the
O'Connors who were formerly kings here.
he enlarged the Castle OF Galway and
made it his residence, calling around him a
tiourishing colony: Blu, the tribes
tiyes. would not submit to him and kept
up a guerrilla warfare that was very
annoying. The English took all the meas
ures they could to protect themselves and
in 1918 a law was passed forbidding the
people of the town Ito receive into their

view. 1t is impossible for us to read
from book and learn the truth as
thoroughly as we. can from reading the
life actions of man as we come in con-
tact with him daily. = = :,
Mans general make up Is one Of
love and hate. He is angel and demon
combined. He can sing words Of love,
truth and justice, or he can hiss the
vile oaths Of hatred. He is an angel
at birth, born of purity and love; but
in his after life his love is turned to
hate; he cares not for the rights of
others; he scorns at their miseries: he
mocks them when they plead for JUS
tice; he inflicts pain at every oppor-
tunity: he grinds into an unshapen
mass the tender lives of the buds Of
childhood that are pluncked from the
tender vines Of love sent unto us from
! the haven of bliss to gladden. our feeble
and aged lives, and at the time when
| weighted down with the cares of a.
useful life.
T. AS we see man the brute treat the
little children: as we watch him in
flict pain upon our women, as we OBJ
wards Gods anointed we are forced to
hiss at him Brute! Is this brute still
man? No! he only retains the form
Of man in body; the mind OF man is
removed to some place Of which we
know nothing today. It has left it's
feeble tenement of clay to play with
it's counterpart on the Golden Shore.
The history of man will L. again be
written in laws that will be easily
read by mankind; the force Of events
through educational advancement will
compel man to stop in his mad strug-
gle for gold; it will compel him to Con-
slider the rights of others in order that
he may protect his own.
Man! Oh man! Where art thou,
that thou hast deserted thy kind :?
What excuse hast thou to give for
wearing the cloak of hypocrite? What
will thy answer to the command left
to all men to observe, . "Suffer little
children to come unto me, for of such
is the Kingdom of Heaven?"-
With the sweetest words ever spoken
by man, I leave you in your sorrow
and grief, for it is to you am speak

The Man % Versus the Brute

::, .:sss III III am -. -. =
From w lleice ] &callass man has agi-
tated the: mind Of mankind for CEN
turtles past. Much thought has been
given the question and much has been
written on it.; yet there are few who
will accept the findings of the men
who have given the greater portion Of
their lives to the study Of the ques-
ton. It makes very little difference to
US today to know from whence came
man; if that were as far as our OBJ
servation would; carry us into a study
of the history Of our past. 81.
1t may still suit the fancy of some
of us to believe that man was. a special
creation, moulded into form after the
image of God, and that the same God
after making the. feeble tenement of
clay, breathed into it the breath of life.
Or we can believe man to have been
an evolution. We learn today that the
body of man is an evolution, it having
evolved from a very, minute. particle of
one cell to it's present form Of a body
composed Of 100000 cells or mole

hope that what shall say will not
be considered by any to be an insult to
the human family; or that it may be
the cause of some not giving the ques-
ton as much consideration as they
may. But upon the other hand if what
Is said is an offence to some, why be
1t so, for ourlearning comes directly
from the wise and learned men of to-
day and those Of the past, and the
truth should cause none to blush with
shame mo matter what our parents
may have been.
Man has evolved from some lower
animal. We are the progeny of the
little animal whose actions we like to
observe His antics and gestures as
he moves about within his prison walls
Interest us. But What of it? If we
are the progeny Of some hairy mon
ster that roved wild in the forests and
upon the plains what matters it? Has
the man Of today outgrown to any
great extent the. parent man of the
past? -,

buried in past that we can never
konw to certainty, but let us deal
with the man of today. Let us try

DRINKING HABIT Or
THE LEADING NATIONS
Statistics Disclose Many Surprises
and Seeming Contra
dictions.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-As< we in
vestigate the drinking habits of diff
ferent nations, we meet many sur
prises and seeming contradictions; as
for instance, England is cursed with
much drunkenness, while France
(omitting absinthe fiends) is rather
modest in her production of abnormal
drinkers; yet the French consume an
nually per capita 2.45 gallons of wine,
6.5 of beer, anu 2.08 of spirits; while
the English use only 0.50 gallons of
wine, 100 spirits and 32.10 gallons Of
beer and ale; the total alcohol con-
stunned by France per capita is 3.75
gallons, while Great Britain shows
only 2.20. >>.
The explanation is simple: the
French use wine daily, but seldom to
excess, while the British have an army
of excessive drinkers in spirits. and
their beers are very strong.
In the United States the actual
! amount consumed Of spirits OF ali
grades, reduced to alcohol, is only 1.20
gallons, whereas Belgium, with little
drunkenness, consumes 800 The Bel
Eians use almost exclusively, the lipht
fermented beverages. while the Aneri-
can is partial to spirits. ,,''s.<

The Merry MatronS

The Merry Matrons met at the
home of Mrs. James Ball on last
Thursday evening and most en-
joyable occasion it was. Being
st. Valentines eve, Mrs. Ball In
her own original manner had pre-
pared an evening of "hearts". So
uniquely had she arranged it, that
before they had finished the
"heart" contest they had forgotten
they were but girls again. Tnen
she provided each with a sheet Of
paper and passed box of pictures
hearts, cupids mittens etc. and
bade them make an original val-
entine, writing an original poem
upon it. They had not dreamed
Of the postical talent that lay
smouldering within their oiscle
but Mrs. McCanne came out with
the lauIels. This feature of the
evening created q great deal Of
amusement after which Mrs. Ball
served q delicious two course
luncheon and it was much enjoyed
By each member.
