IRISH CHARACTER SKETCHES.
Well. Matt 2"

Say it was all accident, for " he
was hung for me it wud kill his poor
mother
What play actin are yez goin' on
Wud now" and a stout woman, with a
basket of turf, appears upon the scene
| Git is the housekeeper). "Ha, ha." and
a loud burst of laughter rings out. so.
that's What the young master wanted
wud the pigs blood? Get up out ov
that. wud yeh, for ye're only an ould
dishcloth after ALL"
III be stiff and cowld in wan min
ute more, an may God forgive yeh for
yer hard heart to be laughing, an me
in me last agony. and poor Matt
heaves a deep groan and shuts his eyes.
Young Master Michael plying the
deplorable condition of Matt, goes over
to where he is lying, and taking him
by the shoulder says:
Get up, Matt, you are not shot 1t
was all a joke. The gun was only filled
with a charge of powder and the shot
was pigs blood. l wanted just to
brighten you, and Scully and 1 have
succeeded"
Matt an me will forgive yeh only on
wan considerashun," says Scully, ris-
ing from his knees and Wiping his brow
with the back of his hand. an that
considerashun is that yell tell no wan,
for iv the people heard it, we might
lave the country. for our marthial
qualificashuns wud be gone"
"All right, Jim, | won't tell any
body"
Poor Matt after that eventful scene
was very crestfallen, and for months
afterwards he ceased ms singing on the
housetops, and had to bid goodbye to
my Indian hunting, for the sight even
of bow and arrow was too much for
MATHS nerves Ryan. the peeler. could
not make out Mats silence It was so
unlike the former days, when often
times in the twenty-four hours Matt
would sing his own composition for
Ryan's benefit On more than one oc-
casion Ryan accounted to a neighbor
for Mats silence in these words:
1.-THE majesty ov me presince has
frightened the rebil Muldoon.''
But like the birds that cease their
songs in the deary winter only to burst
forth again in all the freshness and joy
of their carols on the approach of
spring. Matt, after the winter of his
fright. found voice again, and it was
with the utmost CONSERVATION Ryan
heard on one springs evening the fol-
lowing lines of Boyle O'Reilly echoing
from certain housetop:
1.-The dead who died for Ireland! How
hallowed are their graves,
With all their memories fresh and
green, oh! how could we b.
slaves?
How could we patient clang the chain?
How could we fawn and bow?
How could we crouch like mongrels
meath the keepers frowning
brow?'
If Ryan heard those lines in con-
sternation and dismay, I hailed them
with delight Taking down my bow
and arrow, l ran rather than walked to
where Matt was matching, and out of
breath I shouted up at him:
Matt. will you come Indian hunting
this evening""
'Yis. avic. at half past sharp, after
me tay. please God, we'll put on our
war paint an go scalp hunting
Poor, dear Matt, a kinder or a more
noble soul never drove scollop into
the thatch of an Irish cabin.

He Knew the Symptoms.

| wondered when l saw them meet
What made each woman smile so sweet.
1t was so radiant and so bright
And so expressive of delight.
[ saw them hasten to embrace,
With rapture written on eacn fac.
With arms outstretched they quickly
ran
And kissed as only woman can.
They broke away at last and then
They Smiled and Rugged and kissed
again.
Each said, You darling" and You
pet"
Each did when each the other met.
How well you're looking dear! It's
strange
To me you never seem to change.
And, precious one, how well You seem!
That hat you have's a perfect dream"
They looked each other up and down.
And What simply lovely gown
II wanted to sec you dear!
How long it's been. Almost year."
I've thought of you so often, too,
But, oh, I've had so much to dol"
They gushed and gurgled n that way

What makes them hate each other So

The Girl Was Frank.

Uncle Joe" Cannon was discussing
Jocularly our society leaders, claim that
TOO many statesmen appear to rely on
their uncouthness-on the absence of
socks, etc.-for their fame

neither Caesar nor Alexander wore
socks, and if l attacked New York so
ciety as frankly as this person has at
tackled public life I might-but, after
all, perfect frankness is invariably a
bad thing.
You have heard. perhaps of the
young man who admired perfect frank
ness? Calling on a pretty girl. he said:
If there is one thing that / rever-

that thing

Mr.. Sartin I. J. Griffin, Philadelphia:
My Dear Brother Griffin: l thank
you sincerely for your very kind letter.
and you can feel assured that ] shall

dore Barry. because I consider it one
of the greatest names that we could
put upon school in Philadelphia. l

Small care have fools for gold an

 Little Rock, April 8 -Attor- ney General Hal l.. Norwood to- day appeared in chancery court and asked to have Judge J. H. Carmichael appointed special master to take evidence in suits filed against private car line companies in 1905 for back taxes.
 This is the first action taken in the case in three years, but it means thousands of dollars to the state if successful.
 Attorney General Norwood says he will push the case vigor- ously. Attorneys for private car lines oppose the appointment of Carmichael as special master, saving he was special counsel for the state when suits were filed.
 Arguments will be made before Chancellor Martineau next week,

Little Rock, April S.-The bill to appropriate S50,0o0 for the cree ion and $3o, 900 for the main tenance oi sanitarium in Ar- kansas for the cure of persons suffering from tuberculosis was passed oy tie senate as the last order ot business yesterday by a vote of P to 6. Prior to the vote the sGbject of the treatment of tuberculosis was discussed 1t iength b senator Kie Oldham of Pslaski, who IS really the author of the billI which was introduced by Senator Rowland at the re- quest of Senator Oldham.
 5, nator Oldham seemed to pu, his very soul in tae discussion of the bill. He urged that its pas sage through both branches of the legislature would be the best step taken by the state of Arkan- sas in 50 years. He maintained that climate has not more than ten per cent to do with the treat ment and cure of tuberculosis, aud he contcuded that the dis ease Is curable, and that there fore for the sake of Arkarsans suffering with tuberculosis they should be treated and cured in the state ia which they are living o her senators spoke for the bil !, bat Gone with the information on the subject shown by Senator Oldham. "I ought to know something about the treatment of tuberculosis" said Senator Oldham. II had the treatment on my mind. Two years ago when 1 left this senate chamber had one foot in the grave and a small pnsh would have sent me over at that time.
 At the morning session of the senate a resolution was intro duced by Senators Montgomery and Mckenzie to request the resig nation of the state capitol commissioners on the ground thaI their resignation might tend tc aid in the passage of state capi, tol legislation now pending.

10 DAYS MORE CHANCE
Penitentiary Board Votes to Give Leg islature More Time in Which to
 Provide Work for Prisoners.

The Penitentiary Board yester- day postponed the date of hiring the 200 convicts to w. l.. Reaves from April 10 to April l9, in or der to give the legislature further time to provide employment for the convicts other than the plan proposed by the board, If 1t de- sires to do so.
 The resolution making the change was offered by Attorney General Norwood, and provided that April l9 be inserted in the resolution adopted March 29, in lieu of April 10, upon which date the resolution provides that the contract with w. l.. Reaves shall be consumated, unless the legis- lature should make other provis- ions for the employment ot the convicts.
 Mir. Norwood contended that 1t was no more than right, mas much ss the legislature had taken no action in the matter, to give 1t nine days more time ln which 10 do so.
 He sta ted that it was his pur- pose to allow :he legislature ample time to pass any law they might deem wise, which would terminate the policy of hiring out the convicts; but if no change should be made in the law II would naturally be the duty of the board under the present law to make contracts for the surplus convict labor in order to main tam them.
 It was ordered that the super ,utendent of the reform scdoo' employ Dr. B. l.. Harrison, the peuitentiary physician, at a sala- ry of S25 per month to treat the nupils of the reform school, until he further orders of the board. This action was taken because ol the possibility of the removal oi the state convicts to the state farm, in which event the pen'ten,, ,iarv physic au wculd be obliged to make his headquarters at the | farm.
