IRISH TONGUE CRUSHED OUT
Curious Story of How "Tally-Stick"
Was Used Decades Ago to XIII
Gaelic Language.

The curious story of how the tally
stick crushed out the remains of the
ancient Irish language among Irish
children some decades ago was told
the other day by 7. P. O'Connor, the
Irish political leader.
when the English were determined
to make all Ireland over into a sort
of England" said Mr.. O'Connor, they
used some most unusual means.
Among these was the 'tallysttck. This
was q small stick of wood which each
child was forced to wear on cord
about his neck Every time his par
ents heard him say word OF irish
they we're supposed to cut notch In
the stick. lust as the American trap
pers of the old days are SAID TO nave
notched the stocks of their guns every
time they killed an Indian. Then
when the child got to school the next
dsy the master counted the notches.
And for each notch the child was CIV
en- one blow with a switch-one notch,
one blow: two notches, two blows; si1
notches. six blows. Thus the irish
language was beaten OuI VI IHo
mouths of the Irish children.
'In school the little ones were
taught to look on themselves not as
Irish children. but as English. They
we're not taught any Irish history, and
the fires of patriotism in them were
damped in every way.
But of late years there has come
IN a great national movement in Ire
land which has restored the ancient
irish or Gaelic tongue, and has made
the people proud of their ancient liter,
ature 1t has reaw akened the pride OF
the Irish nation. A university has
lust been founded in which the irish
language is now being taught by six
or eight professors

BEAR THAT LIKES PUDDINGS
Young Canadian Black Cub in New
York Geological Gardens Be-
coming Very Naughty.

In the New York Geological Gar
dens there is a young Canadian black
bear that has become very naughty
of late. Part of his biography has
just been published. It appears that
when the bear was a cub he was
farm, pet, was as domesticated as a
dog and wandered untethered about
the yard and all over the farm The
sort of life he led and some of the
stunts he did are entertainingly writ
ten in "The Frolics of My Black Bear
Cub by Mrs. E. H. Baynes in the
March st. Nicholas. The article is
Illustrated by photographs which
show also tame prairie wolf and
deer. playfellows and domesticated
companions of the cub Jimmie. We
quote one of the "frolics":
Jimmys favorite chum and playfe
low was ROmulus, a young prairie
wolf. The fact that they were such
good friends was due largely to jim.
my's good nature, for certainly Romu-
lus teased him in every possible way.
Even in the matter of food, Jimmy
was disposed to be generous, and he
seldom resented the attempts of Ro-
mulus, or of Actaeon, the deer, to take
from him his bread and apples There
was, however, one particular kind of
food which he insisted on having his
full share of, and that was plum pud-
ding. He would eat it at any time
of the day or night, whether he was
hungry or not, and if there was any
limit to the amount he would eat, no
one ever discovered it. No matter
how much was given to him he never
seemed to consider the quantity suf-
ficient to warrant his sharing it with
his playfellows, and if either of these
attempted to force him to divide with
him the result was a fight. Not that
Jimmy was really vicious, but he gave
MS companions to understand that on
the subject of plum pudding his opin-
los was law One day, after romp-
ing in the snow all the morning, jim
my presented himself at the kitchen
window, and several slices of bread
were passed out to him The cub took
them in his mouth, let them fall to the
ground and continued to peer into the
room

BETTTS CAkE-WALK.

When Betty saw a cake-walk
She laughed at all the fun,
And thought it was the strangest thing
She'd seen beneath the sun.
The bowlng and the dipping
She taught her dolls next day,
Though it was quite ridiculous
To walk that silly way.
When Betty takes cake-wa1E
There's something at the end:
She doesn't learn 70 scrape and bow.
And turn snd twist and bend.
But onward like 2 soldier
She marches to the fore
The end Of Bettv's cake walk

The Grant county primary prac,
tlcally settles the contest for the.
congressional nomination in the Sec
ond district. Even the near neighbors
ot Mr.. Forman evidently recognized
the futiIity of his candidacy under ex-
listing conditions. Indeed it has been
pretty well understood that the For.
man movement was inaugurated in
Washington and that It derived all the
Significance it ever had from the sup.
port given 1t by the managers Of the
senatorial machine. All the subsidized
correspondents in the employ Of the
Scott bureau Of publicity were fully
convinced that the Grant county man
would give Mr.. sturgiss a hard run
for the nomination. and those politi-
cal press agents always furnish a
brand of news in strict accordance
with the machine specifications.
It will be a good thing for West
Virginia to have one congressman
in Washington who is independent
Of the old machine. The addition of
Hubbard and sturgiss to the delega-
ton four years ago introduced new
element into our representation at
Washington, and the innovation was
distinctly to our advantage, It's not
desirable that our congressman should
all be merely subordinates In the
crew of the senatorial machine.
Fortunately we are to retain at
least one independent. and the hos
tile attitude ofthe bosses in his cam
paign for the denomination will leave
them without so much as a pretense
Of a claim on Mr.. Sturgiss, The fact
that he is free from any suggestion Of
senatorial domination will be his most
valuable asset in the general election.
BQss.controlled candidates are not go
ing to be great vote.getters next fall,
and Mr. .sturetss has already made it
perfectly clear that he wears no SEN
atOrial collar. He is fortunate in that
no thanks will be due. the machine
managers for his nomination. Con
gresham sturglss will be his own
boss.

The furore raised by the senatorial
race. and the battle precipitated in this
county blythe Bowel bunch" as the
Times called the jumpers this morn
ing, have so far overshadowed the
very important matter of selecting a
candidate for Congress that the peo-
pie have seemingly taken little inter-

HIS high Office by the representative
Republicans Of the district. Just aft.
or the primaries, no matter who is
nominated, we shall be reminded by
our Democratic friends that "a great
mistake has been made, and fear.
tni onslaught will be directed toward
4 Ire Republican candidate. Let US not
make d mistake. Let US select the best
man. Let Marion county select a Ma
/ rion county man. This county ought
tpshave the congressman from the First
district It is large county in the
center Of the district and has varied
sresouroes and industries. We have in
this county DR.. Archibald Moore, Of
Warrington, and Hon. H. N Ogden, of
F'airmont, The vote of the county will
likely be divided between the two, but
I'm what proportion we cannot say and
weihave RETAINED from even suggest
lug. But we do hope the people will
( become awake to the necessity of ex-
pressing in unfhistakable terms their
choice Of candidates. The name OF
Hon. Chas, e. Carrigan, Of Marshall

sire to vote for him can do so. Mr..
