Willie Redmond,a Ret.

The pathetic appeal made by suf-
fragist to John Redmond to allow his
brother Willie TO lead the 'fVotes for
Women" party recalls en- almost for
gotten incident in the house when the
same Willie gave surprising display
of histrionic talent. He was talking
loquaciously of the injustice done to
women by Withholding the franchise,
when he suddenly went off at a tan
gent and recited carefully from begin
ming to end lines well known in SCOTS
"Marmion," beginning ooh, woman, in
an hour of ease" and ending "a minis.
tering angel, thou" He had made q
bet that he would recite these lines
during his speech without making a
single mistake, and he Won.-Tdeas.

unlaue Celebration.

The inhabitants of Groden, In the
Tyrol, recently celebrated the ad
yancement of their town to the grade
of market place." The streets were
deliberately decorated, and in place OF
statuary, says a correspondent in the
Welt spiegel, great images were made
of snow, of which there was great
quantity. A gigantic statue Of St.
Ulrich and busts of heroic size, on
artistic pedestals, of former burger
meisters and of the Emperor Francis
were produced, and The unique street
decorations showed that the little
place contained much artistic talent

The New Ace,

When navies are forgotten
And fleets are useless things,
When the dove shall warm her bosom
Beneath the eagles wings,
When memory of battles,
At last is strange and old,
When nations have one banner
And creeds have found one Sold,
When the hand that sprinkles midnight
With it's powdered drift of suns
Has hushed this tiny tumult
OF sects and swords and guns;
Then Hates last note of discord ~
In all Gods world shall cease,
In the conquest which is service,
In the victory which is peace!

Is the second year in succession in
which Mr. Guthrie has won the prize
for the greatest amount of the vege-
table delivered,and he had much pride
in his record for the seasons work.
The frost this fall cut down the
vines when they were burdened with
rapidly maturing tomatoes. Had
the freeze been delayed two weeks
longer the factory would have had
more of the vegetables than they
could have cared for. This might
have made change in the prize win
ners. The greater number of the
growers were satisfied with the re-
suits of the seasons work and the
competition for the prizes next season
will be more spirited than during any
previous season. ...a.f .te
