A Sad Death.

This morning Hal Peerv, son of h. G.
Peery, Esq, died at the residence of
his father in the west end of town, after
q lingering illness of several months
He was taken sick while with a camp
ing party on Wolf Greek in Bland coun-
ty some time in August. About six
weeks ago he was brought home from
Wolf Creek, and for a time hopes were
entertained that he would recover. But
about ten days ago he became worse,
and his condition grew steadily more
serious until the end came this morning.
The deceased was twenty-one wears
old and was a worthy Christian young
man. Last year he was a student al
Vanderbilt University, at Nashville,
Tenn, and would have returned to that
institution this year but for the sickness
which prevented.
The attending physicians pronounced
his ailment as Appendicitis. Much sym-
patty is felt for the bereaved family.

w NTERING the living room. Bud
r. found Echo surrounded by sew
eral girls from Florence and the
"a ne4ghbor1ng ranches, who were
driving her almost distracted with
their adniring attentions, for she was
greatly disturbed about her lovers in.5
expiicable absence. Had she been free
from the duties Of hospitality she
would have leaped on her horse and
gone iii search of him. s95 81.

the circumstances, for the couple In

She was dressed in an olive green
riding habit which she had brought
from the east. The skirt was divided
and reached just below the knees. Her
blouse, of light material and brown in
color, was loose, allowing free play for
her arms and shoulders. High riding

Bud pulled himself together with an
effort. He realized that If he did not
show more interest in the girl and
the wedding he might be suspected Of
connection with the murder.
He trumped up an explanation Of his
moodfness 's !. :

Plans Homegoing of Irishmen in 1910

The plan is to induce the Irish people
from all over the United States to re-
turn to their native land during the
months of July, August and Septem-
Der. 1t is proposed that the various
Irish organizations, notably the A. o.
H. and the Gaelic league shall take
up the movement and carry It
through. Kilkenny does not claim
personal originality for the idea but
he gave it initial impetus and has ia
ken Upon himself the burden Of inter
esting Irish societies in the plan.
More than a sentimental purpose
animates those who have undertaken
this ambitious task While the pros
pect of visit to the old country, at
reduced transportation rates, and in
the glory of midsummer, will form a
leading incentive, the real purpose OF
the movement is to stimulate Irish
industry Kilkenny has made several
visits TO, his old home in Ireland and
each time has been impressed with
the Industrial possibilities of the coun-
try and the apparent hopelessness of
improving conditions without organ
lied effort He takes the position that
the industrial and agricultural re-
sources of Ireland have not been de-
veloped to one-tenth of their capac-
ity. Capital is needed to develop
them and Kilkenny believes that it
will be forthcoming if the Irish people
in this country are given an opportun-
ity to see with their own eyes that
profitable investments can be made.

Old General Got No Aid from His Aide

and higher grew the mound Of enc
mics slain by his sword. More and
more numerous became the bullets,
thrusts and slashes sustained by him
self At the end he always appealed
to the grizzled aid; and in silence
the aid nodded confirmation. n
The general one night gave large
dinner party. The wine was no less
abundant than superb, and at dessert
the old warrior let himself out upon
the charge as he had never heretofore
done. -Four horses were killed under
him. Three Iances passed through his
right arm, five through, his left, Nine
sabres crashed down upon his
head simultaneously The bodies OF
his slain formed wall wellnigh i'm
passable about him. And it seemed
that there was hardly a muscle in his
person wherein a bullet failed to i'm
bed itself.d}a d dfia v4a.154C

A PunctuaI Pensioner.

A gentleman one day noticed hun
gry-looking dog prowling round his
yard, and struck by the poor brute's
famished appearance, he fetched a
large bone and by no means bare
one, which he threw to the four-footed
vagabond. 1t was eaxctly twelve
O'Clock when the bone was given and
carried off.
The giver thought no more of the
matter, but evidently the dog did, for
on the Following day at the same hour
he made his appearance, with an ex-
pectant look about him which told
that he hoped for a further. contribu-
ton.
Amused at the effort to establish
himself as an outpensioner, and de-
sirous of finding out whether the dogs
arrival at this particular time was
mere chance, the gentleman gave him
a second supply of food g PIG ~
Punctual to time, the dog presented
himself on the third, looking even
more confident than before. He was
duly fed, and for a great length of
time this self-elected pensioner made
his--daily- appearance at his patrons
door with notable punctuality.
One is led to wonder whether the
dog may have regulated his own move
nents by observing those OF, some in
diyidual in going, to. and from his
work, and whether when the four
footed animal was few minutes late
1t might be because the biped was un-
punctual or his clock slow.

VEY ASdINGTON.-Sir John Courts,
w Bart, X. G. M. c., K. o. c., G. B.,
who. as plain James c. Courts serves
the United States government in the
resi- onsible position of clerk of the
House committee on appropriations,
has his troubles just like other folks.
People are all the time Fostering him
to death to know if it was his grand
father or his great-grandfather or his
great-great.grandfat who used to
own about 10000 acres in Maryland
and who presided over the feudal glo-
ries of Clean Drinking Manor. And
every time he gets through with one
of these historic bugs and settles
down to work a delegation of home
folks from Tennessee drops in on him
and demands to know why he accept
ed from the Emperor of Korea-be-
fore that eminent parsonage was sat
upon by the Japanese-the military
order of the Setting Moon, third class
and wears the undress button that
goes with it all the time.
But even these annoying things pale
into insignificance beside an incident
that happened just the other day. Mr..
Courts has his nose in a chaotic appro-
priation bill and was debating to four
