Though the land were his own and his

Well, the pigs went to rootin', bedad
it was fun
To watch the ould Druids when their
ruin begun.
Wild faces of fury and hearts full of
hate
They would curse the dear pigs, I'm
ashamed to relate.
They invoked all the planets and far
as they knew,
The fixed stars and comets, the sun
and moon, too.
Next the wraiths that inhabit the
winds and the floods,
Then they danced holy jigs in the
scantiest of buds.
But the pigs took no notice, but ate all
the more,
And the Druids saw Fate was now
hard by the door.
Then they prayed to the giants that
ravaged the isle
When ten foot of spine was the height
of the style.
There was one who from Mona oft
waded to Wales,
And one who in coughin' produced the
wild gales.

An the one who complained Devils

The priests cursed the pigs loud and

On the snakes and their eggs they
grew fatter and fatter.
oh, those were great times when the
factions forgot
What side they were of, and what side
they were not
The thousand would follow all jeerin'

WHIskEY FOR RHEUMATISM.

The increased use of whiskey foe
rheumatism is causing considerable
discussion among the medical frater-
nifty. 1t 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
pound Take in tablespoonful doses
before each meal and before retiring"
Toris Root Compound is product or
the laboratories of the Globe Pharma-
ceutical Co., Dayton, o.
A prominent druggist states he fills
this prescription often and has seen
its good results. 1t is surely worth
trying by anyone who may be afflicted.

Mullarky was then
At the side of the ditch the most

At Tara he preached to the king and
the chiefs
His Decalougues, Catalogues, Psalms
and beliefs.
Once the king says to Patrick, "The
Druids all say
That you're settin' the minds of me
Firbolgs astray.
How can one be in three, and be one

So now of the Druids he'd got the

Bethought him of blessings he'd show

To the king then says he, For the

Now the Druids held sarpints as sa-

In England they larned that, betune

They would cast up in line sometimes
