IRISH AMERICAN HEROES.
 Third Prize.

Among the histories of America and her greatest men none have stood out in the limelight more prominently than the Irish Americans. The foliowiYis- men were especially distinguished: Andrew Jackson was born March IS. 1767, on the border between North and South Carolina. His father had enli- grated from. Ireland two years before. Andrew was educated in South Caro- lima, but this education did moi amount to much. He never learned how to write the English language cor rectly although he spoke most elo- duently. His work as a fighter began early and his hatred was bitter towards s the British and gave unction to the tremendous blow which he dealt them at New Orleans. He was married in 1791 to Mrs. Richards. Tn the war of 1872 he distinguished himself at the battle of New Orleans, when he defeat ed the British under Pakenham. In 1928 he was elected president of the United States. He vetoed the bill which was to give the United States bank charter.
 Although not fn the public light like Jackson, Thomas Plunkett, corporal in the civil war, possessed heroisn to a marked degree. In the great battle of fredericksburg when the eoIors of his regiment were falling. and the color bearer was killed. he snatched the dear banner and held 1t until both his arms were shot on-za<zd Hssa he seizsd It

CURED BRONCHITIS
Mrs. Hopkins Says Her Life Was saved-choked and casped
 For Breath.

Some five years ago was taken with a bad attack of bronchitis. I was affected with a bronchial cough and cold, the cough was generally much more apparent at night. and l would wake up choking and gasping for breath, and there seemed to be a terri ble stoppage in my throat and tubes. My throat was tender and irritable, and had an aching sensation, which was especially bad at times I doc tored and used several remedies, but received no permanent relief until I used Hyomei. This remedy is cer- tainly infallible, and it saved .my life, and accord it the credit which it de- serves. There is nothing too strong for me to say regarding Hyomei."- Mrs. Ada Hopkins, Cutter Ave, Coldwater, Mich, August 22. 1908
 The Lee & Osgood Go. sells Hyomei (pronounced High-o-me) and guaran- tees it to cure bronchitis, catarrh. asthma, cgoup, hay fever, coughs and colds, or money back.

between his teeth He received special honor from congress fn 1866. In one of the vases in the Hall of Flags at the state house stands a silent me- :nAnto of his heroism-the flag which is stained with the blood that tells the story till this day He died in 1887, and although this Irish immigrant was almost unknown in life, the country honors him in death
 But men of the Irish race may still be proud of the heroism displayed by those of their blood who came from east to west ito rally around the flag and maintain inviolate the integrity of the union. The memories of Shields and Kearney, of Corcoran and Sheri- dan should never be forgotten by those who know bravery and esteem fidelity to duty Whether under Mcclellan on the Peninsula or with Grant from the Wilderness to ,Appomattox, the Irish American soldiers of the republic well maintained the reputation which in other days the men of their race had won. And If the Starry Flag needed defenders tomorrow the Irish-Ameri- cans would be as prompt to obey the call of duty and would still continue to show trat the old spirit of the Irish race is still as vigorous as ever and its devotion as much to be relied upon.

INFLUENCE OF IRISH RAGE IN AMERICAN HISTORY.
 Second Prlxe.

Throughout the range of American history the influence of the Irish peo- pie has been deep. lasting and elevat- l ing. This is largely due to their racial
 characteristics and to their religion, Their intelligence, courage, energy and l self-respect have made them a power among men. It follows that this pow
 CT must be for good, since most of the Irish in America are Catholics, and by upholding the teachings of the Catholic church they stand for what is noblest and best.
 In colonial times fearless Irishmen,
 understanding the evils of oppression bent all their efforts in the fierce strug- gle for independence.
 John Barry is known to us as 'fThe Father of the American Navy" Mont gomery, second only to Washington in our hearts, lost his life at the storming of Quebec; Patrick Henry will live for ever fin his memorable words. "give me liberty or give me death; and we must | always associate the heroic deeds of | General Stark with the Battle of
 Bunker HILL
 i The first naval battle of the Revo- lution was won by Maurice O'Brien, who with his five sons and a handful of men captured the British ship Mar | garetta off the Maine coast On land. too, it is an Irlshrnan, John l Sullivan, who stands forth as the hero of the first open act of resistance from the colonists-the capture Of Fort Will liam and Mary.
 We honor many Irish whose names are not so well known but who in rank and
 file were none the less helpful in the | fight for liberty. They served in the Irish Brigade, among the Friendly 1 Sons of St. Patrick. the daring Mary
 land Artillery and the fearless riflemen
 who under Morgan accompanied Ar mold in his dangerous march through the wilderness.
 It is undenisble that the United States gained its independence largely through the efforts Of lrishnlcn. Their
 descendants have been equally import ant in maintaining the'life of the new
 republic.
 Captain William Butler bore arms for his country first in the war of 1872 | and later in the Mexican war, suc.sed-
 ing General Scott as commander-in- chief of the army of the United States.
 General Meade. the hero of Gettys- burg, grandson of 8 founder of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick was only one of the Irishmen who defended the
 union during the civil war. Irishmen ir America have been statesmen as well as warriors. Carroll, Hancock Paine, Thornton. Whipple,-signers Of the Declaration of Independence, were Irish, either by birth and descent.
 James Sullivan, congressman and attorney-g general, was governor of Massachusetts.
 Thomas Johnson, Maryland's first
 governor afterwards justice of the United States supreme court was a
 grandson of an 1rishman.
 Delawares first governor. John Me Kirley, was ar Irishman.
 The influence of the Irish race in America has grown, until today its
 desoeudantJ are still among those who
 are making American history. There
 is no field, either political, social or
 educational in which they are not to
 the front. Their success and influence
 are largely due to their united action
 in such societies as the Ancient Order
 of Hibernians.

cause it was the oppressor of their own dear land wno was about to crush their adopted home. America In the struggle they furnished many of the best generals as the brave John Sulli- van, the valiant and victorious leader of the battle with the Indians, and Moylan. Washington's favorite aid-de- camp, and the organizer of the famous Moylan Dragons; and hundreds of thousands of tho bravest fighters came from Irish American homes as the regimental records show. Washington, at the head of the excited colonies found in times of need as at Valley Forge his stanchest friends in the Friendly Sons of st. Patrick and his wisest counsellor In Colonel Fitzgerald. and in the end, with their invaluable aid, the standard of freedom was planted so firmly in our nation that no human power can uproot it.
 Since that war the American navy cherishes the name of a Wexford boy, the brilliant and dashing Jack Barry. the Father of Our Navy" and the first one to unfurl our glorious flag at sea.
 In the war of 1872 and the Mexican and civil wars which followed. their energy and courage showed no de- crease. Andrew Jackson, who heads the list of Irish-American presidents, d1St1nEulSleu 01InSel III the war or 1872, and Shields. an Irishman, was the first one to plant the Stars and Stripes on the walls of Mexico; while in the civil war Phil Sheridan, whose "twenty-mile ride" Is made famous in prose and poetry and Rosecranz. Meade, and hundreds of others worked heroicaliy. Their readiness to help others to freedom has lately been shown by their support of the Cubans in the Spanish-American war.
 Fighting is not the only way that Irishmen have aided AmeFica They have advanced 1t in science and fin art, many like Robert Fulton and Clinton, have shown admirable genius for inven- tion. They have built many schools and engraved upon the pages of lit- erature we find the names of Bishop Spalding and Maurice F. Eagan. John Rutledge and Robert Fancy have graced the supreme court bench, and Robert Turney. the great advocate of temperance. has accomplished much for that cause.
 Let us hope that some day, Ameri- cans realizing all this will demand justice for Ireland, and let us ask God to hasten the day of Ireland's blessed boon of republican government which Washington, aided by so many of her sons, secured for America.

birth by the relentless oppressor, Irisnmen found sure protection beneath the generous folds of our starry flag. For Americas protection and oppor- tunities they have expressed their gratitude very materially. They have learned to love and revere their adopt ed flag almost as they do their own; in its defense they have fought, bled, and died on every battlefield from Lexington to San Juan.
 From the very youth oR our repub- lie to the present day, they have faithfully eo-operated in all its labors and struggles.
