irish Linen MAKERS
Demand A SQUARE deal
Protest Against the English Passing
Of Their Linens as of Irish
Make.

Dublin, May 24.-Determined
effort is being made by the Irish
Department Of Agriculture and
Technical Education to protect
Irish traders, farmers and manu-
facturers from the unfair compe-
tition of INSCRIPTIONS English
traders who falsely represent
goods made in England or Ger
many as Irish, and thus rob Irish
men of the trade and profit that
belong to them.
a most important prosecution
has been undertaken in London
against a large firm Of traders with
hundreds Of shops all over Eng
land, who have described them
selves as the "Irish Linen Com
pany" The earl Of Carrick, who
conducted the investigation, tes-
tilted that he and his agents
bought handkerchiefs and poplin
ties in its shops which were speci-
fically described by the salespeo-
| pie as Irish, but which turned out
on investigation to have been
made in Germany and to be only
inferior limitations of Irish goods.
The members of the firm have
been committed for trial at the
sessions for fraud under the mer-
chandise marks act,
Another prosecution has also
been undertaken in England
against a large provision house
which sold Canadian bacon as
Irish, and an investigation is be-
ing made of the practices of a
number Of traders who sell fresh
eggs and butter from Ireland
which are the product of Danish
and Russian hens and COWS. 4
The butter question is one that
has given rise to some difficulty,
as a practice has arisen of sending
foreign butter to one or two large
Irish creameries to be worked up,
and it is claimed that it can then
be sold safely as Irish butter. The
department has appointed a com
mittee of experts to investigate the
question and to fix a standard def
milton of IRISH creamery butter
which will be accepted by the
courts.

HAS A Charmed LIFE;
auto and Police PROOF
Broken-Backed Man Tossed 20 Feet
BY an Auto Gets Up and Walks
Away.

New York, May "a Joshua
Peters Of Mount Vernon, who has
"a broken neck, believes he has a
charmed life.
While he was crossing the
tracks of the New Haven railroad
at Mount Vernon, he was struck
by an electric motor.
The motor tossed him 20 feet to
another track, and when the train
was stopped and the train hands
ran back, expecting to find a man
gled body, they were surprised to
see Peters walking.
Policemen came with an ambu-
lance and wanted to take Peters
to the Mount Vernon hospital, but
he said to the officers:
"Oh, 60 on and leave me alone.
| amt hurt; | was just jolted a
bit; that's ALL"
A crowd gathered around the
man, and then he told how, while
performing on trapeze, he fell
40 feet and broke his neck.
His neck and back are now
held in position by iron braces.

CLAUS A. sPRECKELs' WILL.

San Francisco, Cal, May "a
The. first step was taken today in
what will probably prove to be
one Of the greatest will contests
ever known in CALIFORNIA; his
tory
Rudolph and Claus A. Spreck-
els petitioned the Probate Court
for a partial distribution Of the
estate Of their father, the late
Claus Spreckels. This was OPP
posed by John d. and Adolph B.
Spreckels, their brothers, who
filed q demurrer, and the matter
went over for one week.
Mr.. Spreckels, whose estate is
valued at between $20,000,000
and $40,000,000, left it in trust
to his widow, to be divided be-
tween certain named children at
her death. John D. and Adolph
B. Spreckels were bequeathed
nothing, the testator declaring
that they had been amply provid-
ed for during his lifetime.

WHAT DOROTHY THOUGHT.

Little Dorothy, aged two and
one-half years, was very fond Of a
certain kind ofAdried meat which
her mamma had for tea,
One day she paid a visit to a
farm and was much delighted to
run around and feed the chickens.
Being asked, when she came
home, about them, she replied,
sob, they looked so funny with
all that dried beef on their
heads"

PUSSY WAS PUZZLED
But She WORKED IT OUT
Rung the Changes on Topsy Till She
Worked Overtime.

While it may have been an ac-
cident, Topsy inclines to the be-
lief that some one was playing a
trick upon her, for she had GER
tainly never seen it snow and
clear to sunshine and back to
snow again twenty TIMES in an
hour before.
Everybody knows that various
fire engine and truck companies
have pedigreed Dalmatians to
trail at their wheels, but Fire Pa
troll No. 8 has Topsy, the only fire
cat in Manhattan Topsy not only
rides to fires on the patrol, but has
been known to enter burning
buildings, and on one occasion
saved helpless kitten from a
smoke filled room.
One Of Topsy's accomplish
ments has to do with a little red
blanket which she uses on winter
nights. She has learned to fold
it up and place it neatly on a low
shelf when the weather is warm
and the straw in the stall is ac-
ceptable as bed. Sergeant Am
mermuller has taught her, more
over, to get out her blanket at the
first sign Of snow.
During the warm days of the
early part of the week Topsy be-
came convinced that spring had
arrived, so she put away her blan-
ket. Friday morning she was sur
prised to see a storm of snowhakes
driving in blizzard fashion
through the street. Instantly she
jumped to her shelf, dragged
down her blanket and began to
make her bed.
Ten minutes later Sergeant
Ammermuller opened the door to
a balmy, sunshiny outdoors.
There was no snow on the pave
ments. Topsy felt there must be
some mistake, and, folding her
blanket with great care, returned
it to the shelf. She had scarcely
completed this maneuver when
the sky darkened suddenly and
down came the snow again. Faith
full to her training Topsy set to
work once more on her blanket.
She continued the operations
most Of the afternoon. OF course
the men laughed at her and Top
sy finally came to the conclusion
that they we're playing some kind
of a game in which she was "it.'
In the end she had the best Of il
after all. She left the blanket
still folded, half on and half of
the shelf and then sat down, like
a sensible cat, to await the final
humor Of the thermometer fol
the night.
"Cheer up, Topsy," said the
sergeant, "this is April Foe
weather"

We'd like to write little rhyme

nor ever try to shirk in order to be
great There are some fellows who
will try to do their business tricks

DURING the last fiscal year more
- fish and fish eggs were distributed
by the bureau of fisheries of the De-
partment of Commerce and Labor in
Washington than ever before in its
history. For the first time the total
Of fish and eggs distributed passed
the three billion mark. The exact
number was 3,117 ,525.
Last year the total amount of the
distribution was 2,S71, 456,2S0, and al
though Commissioner George NJ
Bowers suggested early in the year
that he hoped to pass the three BIZ
lion mark, small hope was entertained
that he would be able to do it.
In addition to the increased distribu-
ton, a careful estimate has shown
that'the cost of distribution has been
reduced to about 1852 million of fish
and eggs distributed, which is a lower
average cost than has ever before
been attained. The cost during the
previous fiscal year was $16025. In
1907 it was $172.2S, 1906 $216S0.
When the bureau was established
in 1904, the cost of distribution was
$4O3.51 a million, while in 1897, the
year before Commissioner Bowers
took charge of the work, the annual

hand lightly on his shoulder and
peered over at the sheaf of half-writ-
ten sheets on his desk
What are you working on now,

'On Mary's mittens," he answered
pleasantly, but without looking up.
Mrs. Quilluser studied a moment, as
if planning. Dearest, Willie needs a

them to the poor boy. Hadn't you bet
