GILRERT's REToRT.

". s. Gilbert does not retain all OF
his humor for use in his librettos
In the early days of his success when
Gilbert and Sullivan were considered BIZ
managers as the sure winners in the
comic opera field. a young woman who
was member of one of the "Pinafore''
companies wrote to Gilbert telling him
Of her approaching marriage with a
young man OF good position and family.
Gilbert congratulated the young woman
and expressed the hope that her future
might be prosperous and happy.
Only a little more than month passed
and another letter from the same girl
reached him, in which she stated that the
engagement with the young man had been
broken and that she had accepted an
other sutton.
He replied that he had every conf
dence in her judgment. and again ex-
pressed his hearty wishes for her well
fare.
1t was almost two months after that
that Gilbert received third letter from
the same girl, who informed him that
young Lord - had proposed and that
she had accepted him after breaking her
engagement with No. g
GHbert's humor could no longer with
stand the temptation, and he wrote:
''I desire to congratulate you on your
approaching marriage with

ROYAL. but Couldn't Ride.

When the Grand Duke Alexis of Rus
sian visited this country with his i'm
posing suite, one of the places TO which
the Russians went was out west for a
buffalo hunt. The hunt was held in
South Dakota, and Colonel Hatch of the
army was assigned to take the party in
charge and do the honors
Russians. except the Cossacks, are
none too good when it comes to horse
manship. and this Information was con-
veyed to Colonel Hatch, with the re-
quest that some mild and gentle stecds
be procured for the visitors for the
hunt. Hatch did the best he could with
the army mounts, and the cavalcade
started from Fort Robinson.
The leaders rode slowly. It was a
long and imposing procession. Just as
Hatch was congratulating himself that
everything was going nicely, his orderly
rode UP from the rear, saluted. and
said: Beg pardon, colonel, but one of
them kings has fell off. Saturday

IRISH CHARACTER SKETCHES.

One evening Jim Scully, Phil Ma
guire, Bryan Casey and a few more old
cronies were discussing the success of
a French invasion Of Ireland if it were
made.

prudently on the palm OF the left,

Cleaninq Time.

1t is time TO clean your Office.
II Is time to clean your store
And 1t is time to scrub your windows,
And your ceiling and your floor.
Time to dust your musty bookshelIes,
And your pictures on the walls:
Time TO air your musty heirlooms,
And your dark, ancestral halls.
Open wide your doors end windows,
Let the air and sunshine in:
Never mind the wild disorder,
Never mind the crash and din.
Get the broom and buster working.
From the cellar to the roof:
So that dainty maiden summer
viii show nothing of rcproof.
And with all your springtime cleaning,
In your office, home and store
Do not let that satisfy you.
There is just one corner more.
Open up your upper story
Where the good and bad are rife:
Give your mind a good spring clean
ing
Needs it, I will bet your life.

Assizes Show Little Crime In Ireland.

Dublin, March 27-The spring assizes,
which are just being opened all over
Ireland, give the lie, as usual, to the
English journalists and other who de-
light in representing Ireland as a hot
bed Of crime and outrage. In many of
the counties there has not been a sim
gle case for the judges to try, and in
most of them the few cases which have
been brought in by the grand juries are
of a trifiing character. The judges all
congratulated the grand juries on the
freedom from crime of their counties,
and remarked on the difference between
the real conditions and those which are
alleged to exist.
1t cannot be denied, of course, that
there is much agitation in some limited
districts in the west, which, Of course,
leads to unlawful acts. But no man of
common sense will argue that driving
bullocks off farm in pursuance of a
political campaign, no matter how mis-
taken the method may be, is on a level
of criminality with theft or murder or
any of the crimes which are constantly
coming before the English assizes.
At long intervals these agitations lead
to more serious crimes, such as the
shooting a few weeks ago of q. police
man, who was guarding d boycotted
farm at Craughweli. County Galway.
This is the first case of its kind for
years, and every decent Irishman. ma
tionalists as well as unionist, desires to
see the murderer brought to justice.
may note in passing that all the
Roman Catholic bishops, in their Lent
en- pastorals, warned their fiocks
against cattle driving and boycotting as

When opals Are Feared.

The superstition that associates i'll
luck with the opal dates back for birth
two or three centuries ago. when the
stone was at the height of its popularity
in Europe and the plague was making
havoc in Venice.
Someone observed that when a plague
victim was at the point Of death his
opal, if he wore one, became brighter,
and when death occurred the stone grew
dull. This strange brilliance which
came and went was taken to imply a
malignant spirit in the stone that re-
joiced in catastrophe.
In reality, the heightened fever of the
patient about to die caused the glow,
heat having a peculiar influence upon
opals.

serious sins, and placed them on the
list of reserved offenses with which the
ordinary confeSscr may not deal.
A sample of the attitude of some of
the liberal ministers toward Irish af-
fairs is afforded by an order just issued
by Sydney Buxton. NJ. P, the post
master general, to all his heads of de-
partments whereby in future they must
not recognize or have any dealings with
the Irish Postal Clerks association.
This organization has been in existence
for years and has been recognized as
the medium for voicing the grievances
of the clerks by successive postmasterS
general. Mr.. Buxton takes exception to
the criticisms directed against some Of
the higher postal officials by the organ
of the association and he adopts this
way of Furnishing all its members.
Mr.. Buxton's attitude is all the more
remarkable because in England he
posed as the friend of trade unionism,
and allows the English postal employees
practically unlimited liberty to criticise
their superior officers. He is fond of
appearing at the meetings Of the postal
organizations and inviting the men to
come to him when they have any COM
plant to make and he has even re-
fused to interfere when the govern
ment premises were used for the prop
uganda or socialism under the-guise of
meetings of the postal associations. In
Ireland, however, to merely criticise an
alleged injustice by a superior Office is
regarded as a crime for which all the
postal clerks in the country must be
punished.
The last Of family famous in the
history of Ireland died few days ago
in the person of the Earl of Howth,
whose ancestor, Sir Amory Tristram,
came TO Ireland with Strongbow in HI
and seized the village on the hill out
side Dublin, which has since given the
family its name and title Like many
of the other Norman invaders the Bar
ons OF Howth-for the earldom is q
comparatively modern creation-be-
came patriotic Irishmen. and fought
valiantly against the English in subse-
quent attempts to ensiave Ireland
The last of the race who has just
died, was remarkably popular among
his tenants. 1t is said that he never
evicted one OF them, and it is on record
that he forgave his rents year after
year in bad times and often reduced
them-Boston Herald.
