crucified by the Jews

at tree that stood near and began new

his excessive fury and exer;ion the golden

out and he died.
From Kenmare to Killarney.
Occasionally we see stone cabin in the
far distance from which a pale stream
of smoke is arising but until MONDAY.
when we dropped down into the valley
and approached the little village of Ken
mare, there was scarcely a human habi-
tation.
At Kenmare is an attractive hotel. at
which a bountiful lunch is served for TWO
shillings. and a little time is given the
passengers to rest Those who wish to 90
run over to Killarney In three-quarters
of an hour but they will lose the most
attractive part Of the ride and some OF
the sublimest scenry In Ireland.
The stage commences to climb shortly
after we leave Kenmare and crawls along
the mountain sides between the rocks and
the heather all the afternoon. This coun-
try was fought over again and again ages
ago. The mountain range was sort OF
barrier between the warlike clans OF
MacCarthy and OSullivan. who met upon
it's rocky slopes and slew each other for
any pretext. less for reason than for the
| love of fighting.
War Cries Of the Clans.
The war cries Of all the clans OF south
ern Ireland however, have been heard
upon these rocks. "Shannied-aboo'' was
the cry of the Earls of Desmond; "Crom
Aboo" was the cry of the Geraldines and
the Duke of Leinster has it for the motto
upon his coat-of-arms. The word "aboo
is the gaelic equivalent to our "hurrah:
Dearg-A (hurrah for the red hand.
which was the crest of the O'Neills.) The
| O'Brien cry was "Lamh-Laider-Aboo
(hurrah for the strong hand) The Burkes
EnRlishman3 the Fitzpatrick Gear
Laider-Aboo'' (hurrah for the strong and
| the sharp.)
In the tenth year of the reign of Henry
| VII an act passed by parliament pro-
hibited the use of these war cries in the
| following quaint terms:
A Law Of Henry Seventies Time.
Item: Prayer the commons in this
present parliament assembled that for as
much as there has been great variances.

means of divers idle and ill-disposed per-

same authority: That no person nor per-

The above is a sample of British iegis-
lation at the period that act was passed.

The Lakes Of Killarney.
The first glimpse of the Lakes OF Kill
larney Is obtained as the coaoh comes
around the point of mountain. and
great green amphitheater with body OF
glimmering water at the bottom suddenly
is spread out before the passengers. The
outlines are fringed with forests. and the
lakes are studded with tiny islands OF
different sizes and shapes. but all aglow
with a vivid color that Is not iouno any

vision until the stage plunges into tun-

near the ancient ruins OF Muckross AID.

made of high stone walls and overhanglng
bouehs until the village of Killarney Is
reached.
Legend Of the Giants.
Long long ago there were two giants.
the giant of Glengarin and the giant OF
Killarney. and they were very jealous of
each other They kept up continual
controversy, each Boosting of his own
strength and valor and daring the
other to cross the mountains Finally,
after everybody got tired of these threats
and challenges. just as people do nova
days about the talking matches of pugi-
lists, the giant of Killarney decided to 60
over to Glengarin and see what sort of
person his foe might be. Disgusting him
self as a monk he crossed the divide came
down into the village and was shown the
way to his enemy's cabin. The giant OF
Glengariff having heard OF the approach
OF his rival became very much frighten-
ed He hastily made cradle big enough
down In II ordered his wife to tuck him
up with q blanket. And there he lay. pre-
tending to be asleep. when the giant OF
II Killarney approached the door and polite
" offered the compliments Of the season
