thousands of people were driven from
the fields that their fathers before
them had cultivated and lived upon.
And those among them who did not
die by the wayside or end up in the
poorhouse managed to find an asylum
in the United States or elsewhere.
Two millions of the Irish race are
in England and Scotland whose faith
crs were victims of this terrible war.
Today you can travel over vast tracts
of Ireland, laid down now in grazing
land, where the only indications of the
former happy farms and home sites
are the occasional ruins of demol-
sted cottage.
Tenant Is tho Goat"
Grazing lands are all let out upon
what is called the eleven months .sys-
tenn. That is to say, tenant falls
short of year by single month. The
reason is that if the tenant has a
holding for an entire year he gains
uIuef the present lrlSll ldIO laws GER
tain rights which make it difficult
for the landlord to get rid of him.
Hence his tenancy is kept the eleven
months.
There grew up a revolt under the
impulse of that gigantic transfer of
the soil which has been going on in
Ireland during the last twenty years.
1t was held that so long as the graz
ing system was permitted to go on it
would be impossible to hope for that
restoration to the people of those vast
grazing tracts now called ranches-a
term. I need scarcely say borrowed
from America, and accordingly vari-
Gus attempts have been made to break
down the eleven months system.
Cattle driving was one Of the meth

Hazel Twig Is Emblem.
These grazing lands were covered
with cattle and some night number
of people, or perhaps only few. quiet
1y opened the gates of the grazing
farms and allowed the cattle to scat
ter over the country.
They were not ill treated-indeed, in
some cases they were properly fed and
watercd-but the owners and the ten
ants of the grazing lands had consid-
cradle difficulty and expense in get
ting back their cattle. This was
cattle drive.
Mr.. Grinnell became the apostle Of
this violent method of ending abrh pity
a state of things which every Irish
man thinks should come to an end,
though many were opposed to his par
ticular way of doing it.
The hazel twig was used to drive
the cattle, and thus the hazel became
the popular banner word of this move
mcnt. MIR. Grinnell addressed meet
ing after meeting in which the hazel
was proclaimed as the only true weap-
on of Ireland's liberation from the
grazing system.
Policemen followed him wherever he
went, note takers employed by the
government took down his words. and
ultimately he was sent to@jail, where
he resumed his studies and the writing
Of another book.
Local Influence Wins Out.
BY and by when the election came
there was division in his consttu-
ency and he was not adopted as a can
didate for the Irish party.
But he had strong local influence and
his courage and his sincerity appealed
to even many who did not approve of
his methods. He was therefore elect
Inf hoe Il Lo
Irish party. He sits in the house
lonely and pathetic figure: each day
he asks dozen questions of the diff
fcrent members of the cabinet and now
and then bursts into a violent epithet
when the answer is not satisfactory
to him. Speaking to nobody, being
spoken to by nobody, he pursues his
lonely way.
One day recently, he took it into
his head to place upon the order pa
per notice Of motion with regard
to the conference.
OF course there was not the least
chance of the motion being reached or
even mentioned. But when Mr. AS
Guith made his fatal announcement
that the conference was still going to
be continued, and when the question
arose that this question should be de-
bated, the notice of Mr.. Grinnell
blocked the way.
Redmond Tied by Rule.
For here came in the strange rule of
the house that If there be on the no.
tice papers a motion with regard to
any subject, that subject cannot be
debated until the notice of the motion
is removed. Thus it was that Mr..
Redmond could not say a word. AS a
matter of fact. Mr.. Redmond was rath-
or relieved. 1t was a case where the
least said, the easiest mended.
To show how this blocking motion
rule, as it is Familiarity called, may
work, there is another case l must
mention.

The Commonplace.

"a commonplace life," We say, and we
sigh:
But why should we sigh as we say :?
The commonplace sun in the common
place sky
" Makes up the commonplace day.
The moon and the stars are common
place things,
And the flower that blooms and the
bird that sings;
But dark We're the world and sad our
If the flowers failed and the sun shone
not;
And God, who studies each separate
soul,
Out of commonplace lives makes His
beautiful whole.

-Four years ago the only active wom-

movement were a little group of about
30 women's clubs. To-day 100000
women, under the United States, are
banded together against this disease,
and more than 1000 clubs are taking
a special interest in the crusade. Not
less than 100000 is raised annually
by them for tuberculosis work, be-
sides millions that are secured through
their efforts in state and municipal
appropriations. Mrs. Rufus p. Will

Health Education committee of the
American Medical association, com.

Tbs professor was delivering an elo-
quent address OF cruelty to animals,
and to illustrate how a little judicious
forethought would eliminate to a great
extent the s%ufferings that even small
insects are subject to, said:
"As I was coming through the hall
tonight l saw a bald-headed gentleman
very harshly treat a little innocent
house-fly which had alighted on his
head.
Nov, if there was any justification
for such bad temper, l would be quite
justified in indulging in it at the pres
ent moment, for a fly has just ~alighted
on the back of my head. l can't see
it, but can feel it.
POSSIBLY some of you can see it
now; it is on the top of my head. Now
it is coming down my brow; now it is
coming on to my G-r-r-eat pyramids
of Egypt, it's a-wasp!"

disease, it is said, from smoking a
briar used nearly a year ago by his

as proof that Concentrated nicotine
cannot destroy a typhoid germ. The

suit that midshipmen Of the future

IF people do not give when they
have little they surely will not do
SO when they have plenty.
People who talk about giving
their hearts to the Lord usually
prove It by their heartlessness
shown to others.
