80 yards, and but for this one play
would not have scored. The attendance
was not large, but those who We're
present had the satisfaction of seeing
an interesting game.
The game started with Cony taking
the south goal and Waterville kicking
off to the 2-yard line Stevens receiving
the ball. Stewart then made five yards
but on the next play Mcdonald lost
two, after which Cony punted to the

Fahnan could negotiate only a yard
and a half, after which Waterville lost
the ball on the 15-yard line.
Stewart made seven yards, after
which Watervile held the home team
for downs, but lost it on tumble, af-
ter which Cony did the same thing on
the 20-yard line. Waterville then
made four yards but on the next play

however, gave the ball to Watorville.
On the next play Waterville failed to
gain and the play following netted a
loss of five yards and was obliged to

there was no sign of score by either
side though there was some good play

Dorsey also made some good gains.
During the second half neither side

American eyes. OF course, upon that
occasion appropriate ceremonies are
conducted in the churches with becom-
ing reverence, but to Irishmen as a
whole the anniversary of the old saints
nativity is looked forward to as day
for participating in all the pomp and
pageantry of the street parade, In
which the green flag with the harp
and shamrock shares the honors of the
day with the Star and Stripes OF the

Those who have long made a study of
the weather and it's vagaries can tes-
tify that the 18th of March as it APP
pears each year is, as rule, charac-
terized by storms of either rain or
snow, or gales of wind. The few eX-
ceptions to this phenomenon only prove
the rule. The boisterous department
of the elements on that day, however,
are easily accounted for by the fact
that the Vernal equinox is then near
at hand, when elemental and atmos
pheric disturbances are liable to occur.

the royal family came running up
thinking it was conspiracy to do
them harm, but the emperor sent them
away, and we all sat down on the
grass.
The prince introduced me as an
American boy whose father was king
of an African tribe, and the emperor
looked at me and finally said: III I

living at palace beat anything, be-
cause had servants to do everything
for me but breathe. l had to do my
own breathing.
We nearly broke up the whole FAM
lily the first day. The emperor has a
lot of black dachshunds, these long
dogs that are built as though they
were grown under bureau and pulled
out by the tail and stretched. Two Of
them were trained to roll over on the
floor when told to do so.
Before breakfast one morning the
prince and l were playing with the
dogs, and I told him if could get
length of small stove pipe I would
show them a trick, so he got the
stove pipe and we put one dog in one
end of the pipe with his hind quarters
sticking out with his tail wagging, and
in the other end of the pipe we put
the other dog, with his head and fore
feet out, so it looked like one dog six
feet long.
We had the thing framed up when
the emperor and empress came down
to breakfast, arm in arm. The dog
whose head was sticking out of the
pipe barked morning welcome, and
the dog at the other end of the pipe
wagged his tail, and the royal family
got sight of the largest dog in cap
tivity, and the emperor stopped with
frown on his face, and said: Got
in himmel, vot vos der matter fronde
hundt," and the empress held up her
hands and said: "Och, gott," and just
then the prince who was at the head
of the dog said, roll over" and then
there was trouble.
The princes dog at the front of the
stove pipe rolled over one way, and
the dog at my end rolled over the
other way, and there they lay on their
backs in the stove pipe, the front
legs of one paving the air, and the
hind legs of the other kicking, and
we had to pull them out of the pipe,
and when the two dogs began to
caper around the emperor and empress
the emperor said, in the slang the
prince had taught him: well, wouldn't
that skin me-" and the empress said:
you bed my life already" and then
we went into breakfast.
We had sausage for breakfast and /
whistled and the prince barked, and
the emperor wanted to know what we
meant, and the prince told him that
in America bad men made sausage
from dogs, and the only way you could
tell if sausage was made of dog was
to whistle, and if it was pork sausage
it would lie still, but if it was dog it
would wag itself. They took it all
serious, and when the emperor was
served with sausage he snapped his
fingers and said, charge down." and
the empress held piece of cracker
to the head of her sausage and said,
speak" There was nothing doing,
and we ate the sausage without q

The emperor thinks of sending the

to the date and place of Patrick's
birth. The most reliable historians,
however, concur in the belief that he
was born about the year 1896 in the
British-Roman province Of Valentia, at
a place near the Clyde, not far from
the modern Dumbarton, called from
him Fitzpatrick.
About the year 1872 he began his
