A SMOKER.

It is being demonstrated from all
points of view that the subordinate
lodges of Nashville Knights of Py-
thias are growing with exceeding
rapidity.. 1t seems that each member
from the oldest TO the youngest here
located is striving within themselves
to make a showing morally, financial
ly and numerically to the entire
world that will establish history ever
lasting. A few weeks ago one of the
youngest lodges, Stonewall No. los,
gave a free lunch to their invited
guests, which he's caused many to
join their ranks, and only Monday
night, December II, another young
lodge, Friendship 70, gave a smoker
of a similar nature, which was un-
told success from all points of view.
Too much can not be said of Friend
ship No. Y, for if there was ever a
lodge in the jurisdiction that is max
ing progress It's this number. Many
made interesting talks, after the c. g.,

nary talk. All left at late hour

The Price of Vanity.

1t is estimated that to supply the
plumage for ladies' hats and other
decorations demands the sacrifice
yearly of 100000 birds. Paris milli-
ners receive annually about 10000 sea
gulls. Last year London house sup
piled $4,000 humming birds and 10000
sea birds of various species Nothing
need be said as to the loss to agri-
culture by the indiscriminate destruc-
ton of birds, and in some countries
certain species have ceased to exist.
Among them are included the Labra-
dor duck. the Reunion startling, the
bullfnch at the Azores. For some
reason, possibly to preserve the beau
ty Of the feathers, they are frequently
plucked from live birds.
The Irish standard. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn. ;) 1886-1920, 1910-04-02

these were never taken, but the Off
cials had often gone to great trouble
to find out where l was in order to
forward them.
Nobody in Ireland seems to lock
doors. 1t never seems to enter their
heads that there may be burglars
about. l once asked an Irishman If
there were any burglars in the neigh
borhood and he said, laughingly, ooh,
no! There is none of the family plate
left" This was only humorous way
of expressing it,; for he himself had
nice house. And on the other hand
there are in london men who would
brain you for nickel.
1t may be said these are only cursory
citations and random observations.
That is true; but l have something
more in reserve, i. e., figures. An ap-
peal to statistics should be the last
resort, for they make dull reading. At
the same time they are really full OF
information. will not give them in
detail, but I may state that every
thing shall now mention is obtained
from parliamentary reports, such as
Judicial Statistics (CriminaD. Ire
land" and Police Counties and Bur-
oughs, England and Wales)."
England and Wales have a popula-
tion of about 35,0OO,OOO; Ireland just
about one-eighth. The police force
in England and Wales is only four
times as great as that of Ireland. Ire
land is thus burdened with double
dose of police, and people seem to
argue that Ireland must be possessed
of what Gladstone called double dose
of original sin. But if we turn to in
dictable offenses -we find that the pro-
portion in Ireland is considerably less
than it would be If taken at the same
rate in England-being on the aver
age about 80 per cent as compared to
England and Wales.
Even this proportion for Ireland
would be greatly reduced If only Of
fensea were regarded which indicated
real criminality, but the list has been
somewhat increased by offenses-as, for
instance, malicious injury to property
or violence to- pe4saus originating II
political quarrels. But the enemy o
Ireland may say "Ah, there is the
cloven hoof!' d..

Marshal MacMahon.

Marshal MacMahon Duke of Magen-
ed in Autun, the district of his birth,
in which his family have lived for
generations, was the descendent Of
Patrick MacMahon, who having fought
bravely in the siege of Limerick, went,
after the signing Of the Violated Tre-
atty, into exile in France, where he
lived for the remainder of his life. His
son, John MacMahon of Autun, mar
ried an heiress, and was created Count
d'Equilly. In September, 1749, the
count, who was the grandfather of the
famous marshal, applied to the Irish
government of the day, accompanying
his application with the necessary fees
for the officers of the Ulster King of
Arms, to have his genealogy, with the
records of his family duly authenticat-
ed, collected and recorded with all
necessary verification, in order that his
children and their posterity in France
might haye aaaaasafactent proof of the
proud fact that they were Irish. This
was accordingly done, az HAY be seen
in the castle archives, countersigned
by the lord lieutenant of the day and
the various other necessary signatories.
In these records he is described as of
the noble family paternity of MacMahon
Of Clonderala, County Clare, and ma
van Beare.

clear, powerful voice for which he was
SO remarkable. Every word, every syl-
liable, could be distinctly heard AS
the last amen died away the stiffness
became positively oppressive; you
could hear your heart beat. Suddenly
the roar of artillery was heard from
the Castle of San Angelo; twenty mil
itary bands burst forth in strains of
exultant harmony; all the bells of the
city began pealing; and the climax was
reached when one hundred and fifty
thousand voices gave vent to their
feelings in prolonged shouts of "Viva
Pho Nono"-long live the Pope-that
made the earth tremble, and pierced
the sky as though they would burst
through the gates of heaven itself.
Every nation and cline and tongue
was represented in that vast assem-
blage; yet it is safe to say all were
devout Catholics at that very instant,
carried away by the strange irresist-
ible enthusiasm of the moment. So
sublime a spectacle can be witnessed
nowhere else in the world. 1t was
possible only in Pontifical Rome.

Riddles for Old and Young.

. Young people are particularly fond of
riddles. Here are few they will en-
joy:
/ What is that which I'VE all see every
day and God never has seen? His
equal.
What is the longest word in the
English language? Smiles, because
there is mile between the first and
the last letter ....
Which is the strongest day in the
week? Sunday, because the rest are all
week (weak) days.
What is the largest room in the
world? The room for improvement.
What is that which never asks any
questions and yet requires many an
swers? The door bell.
Why does railway conductor cut a
hole in your ticket? TO let you
through. .... ....
Why is the north pole like place
where whisky is illegally made? Be-
cause 1t is a secret St1ll
Why do pianos bear the noblest char
acters? Because they are grand, up
right and square.
What magazine would be likely to
give the best report Of a fire? A pow
der magazine.
Why is an Astounding bank cashier
like an air gun? Because he goes off
loaded and makes no report.
When is a Scotchman like donkey
When he strols along his banks and
braes.
WHY should sailor be the best au-
thority as to what is going on in the
moon? Because he has been to sea
(see).

Bachelor Girl Wisdom.

A wise woman will take a loYer at
his word-because that is probably all
she will ever get from him.
In a love affair, it is the first kiss
which embarrasses a woman, the last
which embarrasses a man.
It's funny how a "soul mate" never
seems to happen around until after
you are married to somebody else.
Why won't man understand that
woman doesn't necessarily carry a
lorgnette for the sake of her eyes
but for the sake of other peoples
eyes?
Marriage is the sentimental dope
with which we stimulate ourselves
but which eventually always stops the
action of the heart and irritates the
nerves.
Being in love means merely spending
half your time doing foolish things
which you are perfectly aware that
you will spend the other half regret
ting.
A mans idea of a chivalrous exit
from Irritation is to make a woman
believe that the reason he is going tc
stop making love to her is because he
cloves her TOO much"
The size of a girls shoe and the
brand of her sachet seems to be much
more important to man in his selec.
tion of wife than the size of hel
brain and the brand Of her character

A Test Of Confidence.

Do not be surprised, but above all
things do nSt be dispirited, If God
leaves you a long time praying for one
favor He is trying your confidence
by your perseverance. If you do not
persevere you are not confident, and
If you are not confident you are doubt
ing His word and you do not deserve
to be heard by Him. Urge your pc
titions with confidence, and persevere
in urging them. Reminding your God
that in praying you are doing what He
bid you do, and that you will not leave
Him until He besses you

Musical Ireland.

The famous Italian tenor, Signor
Enrico Caruso, in an address delivered
at the Corinthian club, Dublin, recent
ly said that the greatest achievements
in English music usually had an Irish
ancestry unless it happened to be
Wesler Scotch. He added that this
was not surprising, considering the
wealth of Irish traditional music Ca
russo had recently seen a collection Of
800 Irish airs published by the Irish
Royal Antiquary society. He declared
that he was completely fascinated by
the charm of the melodies, and that
nation which produced such treas
ures of song must be musical in a
wonderful degree.

How to 1.-Two CheapIy.

Substitute comfort for show. Put
convenience in the place Of fashion.
Study simplicity Refuse to be be-
guiled into a style of living above
what is required by your position in
society and is justified by your re-
sources. Set fashion of simplicity,
neatness, prudence and inexpensive
ness which others will be glad to fol-
low and thank you for introducing.
Teach yourself to do without a thou
sand and one pretty and snowy things
which wealthy people purchase, and
pride yourself on being just as happy
without them as your rich neighbors
are with them. Put so much dignity,
sincerity kindness, virtue and love
into your simple and inexpensive
home that it's members will never
miss the costly flippers and snowy
adornments of fashion, and be happier
in the cozy and comfortable apart
ments than most of our wealthy
neighbors are in their splendid apart
ments.
