Many writer's have declared that an
Irish gentleman's hospitality is unlim-
tied, but this is a slight eXaggeration,
as is shown by story borrowed from
a book of Irish memories.
Jerry McCartie was often the guest
of friends who on account of his pleas
ant ways extended 10 him that sort of
old Irish hospitality which enabled a
visitor in my own family who came
for a fortnight TO stay for six years.
In McCartie's case the visit stretched
to nearly double that time. After
eight or nine years, however, his kif1s-
mar got little tired OF. his guest and
let him know of his old lnansion's pro-
posed renovation and that lie had sign

mules in to see what the bottom was
like. On nearing the opposite bank
the mule began to be submerged. This
showed very deep place but it was
not wide so it was decided to make
the attempt to cross. 1t was critical

double wagons entered this deep water
and began to swim. The driver and
sat in a spring seat while the wagon
was drawn along by those faithful
swimming mules. We were both silent
as we anxiouslv watched our team
struggling to gain the opposite shore.
But the other freighter became fright
ened and began to yell and to beat the
poor team which was also swimming
and hauling him in his wagon This
angered my companion who shortly
told him things.
Having reached land in safety we
soon came to the terminal station, Dur

Bunny" an AlI.Year Prey

Many local sportsmen are perhaps
not aware that rabbits are no longer
protected at my time of the year in
some parts of the state. "In the coun-
ties of Chippewa, Rusk, Eau Claire.
Pierce, st. Croix, Portage, Wauuaca
and Ws0shara, " reads law passed at
the last session of the legislature. 'ft
shall be unlawful to take, catch, kill.
hunt or pursue any rabbit, between the
first day Of February and the 10th day
of September next succeeding; but In
the counties of Grant Crawford, Iowa,
Kenosha, Lafayette, Richland, Sank
and Vernon, there shall be no closed
season for the hunting OF rabbits. =
This law was most probably passed il
the interests of the fruit growers oi
the state, as the rabbit has been con.
demned by them for several years as a
worthless nuisance.

weekly review of trade tomorrow will
say:
With bank clearings outside of New
York 1b.9 per cent better than last year
and 24.5 per cent better than in 1906,
and in New York PAL per cent larger
than in 1906: with railroad earnings for
than in 1906: it'll railroad earnings for
the month OF April showing a gain OF
1873 per cent over 1908. and only 1913
per cent decrease as compared with
the banner year OF 1907; with immigra-
ton 2l2,0O0 larger than last year; with
imports much greater than in 1908, and
nearly equal to 1907; with distinct
gain in the iron and steel trade in
both orders and prices; with a hard
ening tendency in copper; with works
of new construction going rapidly for
ward. the trade situation seems to at
ford ample grounds for the prevailing
belief that as soon as the tariff revi-
sion is out of the way the last obstacle
to full restoration of normal indus
trial and mercantile activity will be
removed.
Notable, indeed. is the better feeling
in iron and steel. Favorable develop
ments in nearly all divisions are re-
ported.
Tie primary dry goods market con-
tinues quiet, prices remaining at their
present level. In the export division
some inquiry is reported, but little
business has been placed.
In the wooden goods the volume of
duplicate business from buyers Of
mems wear lines increases gradual
lly.
The leather market is stronger all
around in sympathy with the hide sit
!uation. prices advancing. steadily.
While the footwear market has not as
vet felt the active and advancing
movement in hides, trades with east

facturers are gradually increasing.
