death Of her husband, MRS. Moylan
went TO Canada to reside, but before
leaving found in the cellar of her
home $10.1S7 in a tin box. The
money was badly damaged and would
have TO be redeemed before being of
any use.
The question now confronting the
court is where the remainder OF the
estate, which was supposed to be
worth between $4,000 and $4,000, is
located

Who can set bounds TO the soaring
Imagination Of the Celt? An enthusi-
astic New Yorker recently watching n
game of hurling-which resembles Ia
crosse-between stalwart teams, was
moved TO ask President Conway of the
Irish Athletic association how far a
good man could drive the ball.
We'll, I'll tell you,' responded Mr..
Conway, with twinkle in his eye that
contradicted his serious speech. IN
the good old days when Cuchuillin was
champion of Ireland, the king and all
the nobility were assembled at the
great games of Tailtin. Cuchuillin
struck up hurley bali into the sky,
and then walked of TO his pavilion and
took n drink of potheen. and strolled
back TO the spot in good time TO catch
the ball on his hurley.
