Along the Cauto river, to mention but one

IRISH BOGS

It is curious that It is IN the bog
land districts of Ireland that the great
est number of pensioners are to be

in their nature, and undoubtedly they
possess great preservative qualities.
Where bodies have old coins or weap-
ons in them for years they are usually
In an excellent state OF preservation

Castlerea district is famous for its
bogs; the smell of turf seems 20 be
everywhere and Il Is there that most
pensioners have qualified under the new
act. The list already passed totals
$500 In no part Of England or Scot
land could a similar instance be found.
Then. In the Gurteen district there Is
another great wild strip OF moorland
and there. too. old age pensioners
abound. In one famous case In that
locality there are five pensioners in one
house--two brothers, two sisters and
a wife. They win have 60 pounds a
