All, SWEET is TIPPERARY.
BY Denis A. Mccarthy.

All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring
time of the year,
When the hawthorn's whittier than the
snow,
When the feather folk assemble and the
air is all a-tremble.
With their singing and their wing
ing to and fro.
When queenly Sliave-na- mon puts her
verdant vesture on,
And smiles to hear the news the
breezes bring,
When the sun begins to glance on the
rivulets that dance
All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring!
All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring
time of the year,
When the miSts are rising from the
lea,
When the Golden Vale is smiling with
a beauty all beguilirg
And the SUR goes grooming to the
sea;
When the shadow and the showers only
multiply the flowers
That the lavish hand of May will
fling;
When in unfrequented ways, fairy mu-
sic softly plays
All, sweet is Tipperary in the spring.
AS. sweet is Tipperary in the spring
time of the year,
When life like the year is young,
When the soul is just awakening like
a lily blossom breaking,
And love words linger on the tongue;
When the blue of Irish skies is the hue
of Irish eyes,
And love dreams cluster and cling
Round the heart and round the brain,
half of pleasure, half of pain
As, sweet is Tipperary in the sprin.

Christmas lime in Ireland.

At Christmas time in Ireland how the
holly branches Irvine
In stately hall and cabin old and
gray!
And red among the leaves the holly
berries brightly shine
At Christmas time in Ireland, far
away.
And brighter than the berries are the
kindly Irish eyes,
And CHEEKY are the greetings of the
day
The greetings and the blessings from
the Irish heart that rise
AT Christmas time in Ireland, far
away!
At Christmas time in Ireland you can
hear the chapel bell
A-calling ere the dawning of the day;
You can see the people thronging over
field and over fell
To the early Mass" in Ireland, far
away;
And sanity are the "sagarts'' that be-
fore the affairs stand,
And faithful are the flocks that kneel
and pray
All, surely God must shown His choic-
est blessings on the land

away.
At Christmas time in Ireland there is
feasting, there is song,
And merrily the fife and fiddle play,
And lightly dance the calm and the
boys the evening long,
At Christmas time in Ireland, far
away!
There is light and there is laughter,
there is music, there is mirth,
And lovers speak as only lovers may
All, there is nothing half so sweet in
any land on earth
At Christmas time in Ireland, far
away!
At Christmas time in Ireland there is
sorrow, too, for those
Who scattered far in exile sadly stray,
And many a tear in silence for a friend
beloved falls
At Christmas time in Ireland far
away;
But still amid the grievings is hope
to Danish fears,
That God will safely send them back
some day.
To know again the happiness that long
ago was theirs
At Christmas time in Ireland, far
away.

The wexford Massacre 1e4e.

The Wexford Massacre lo4S-
They knelt around the Cross divine,
The nlatrCn and the maid
They how'd before redemption's sign
And fervently they prayed
Three hundred fair and helpless ones,
Whose crime was this alone
Their valiant husbands, sires, and sons,
Had battled for their own.
Had battled bravely, but in vain
The foeman won the fight,
And Irish corpses strewed the plain
Where valor slept with Right,
And now, that Man of demon guilt,
To fated Wexford flew
The red blood reeking on his hilt,
OF hearts to Erin true!
He found them there the young, the
old
The maiden and the wife
Their guardian Brave in death were
cold,
Who dared for them the strife
They prayed for mercy-God on high!
Before thy cross they prayed,
And ruthless Cromwell bade them die
To glut the SaXcn blade!
Three hundred fell-the stified prayer
Was quenched in woman's blood;
Nor youth nor age could move to spare
From slaughters crimson flood.
But nations keep a strn account
Of deeds that tyrants do;
And guiltless blood to Heaven will
mount,
And Heaven avenge it, too!

Sheridan Breaks Another Record.

After many attempts, Martin Sheri-
dan, the worlds all around athletic
champion, has annexed the forty-two-
pound stone record to his credit. AT the
annual games of the Irish Volunteers
of Brooklyn last Sunday, at Celtic
park, he hurled the giant weight the un-
precedented distance of q feet and II
inch, beating by four inches the old
mark made by James Mitchell six years
ago. Twice Sheridan eclipsed Mitchells
throw. The first time he toed the mark
he hurled the stone 20 feet II inches.
Not content with this, he continued,
and in his last throw added another
inch and half to it.
John Daily, the veteran runner of the
Irish-American club, won the seven
mile special race. He opposed a big
field and beat them home by forty yards.
Sheridan also won the discus event.
With a throw of 13S feet inch, he cap
tured first prize. A. w. Bruce, a new
man belonging to the Irish club, fin
ished second, and P. Mclaughlin, of the
Loughlin Lyceum, was third. John
Flanagan captured the 56-pound weight
event, and B. j. Sherman, wieh handi-
cap of fifteen feet, won the hammer
throw.

payments already made to the con-
tractor were largely m excess of the
value of the work he had executed.
Although the report was eventually
adopted, several members evidently
considered that it was an outrageous
thing to interfere with the contractor
in this way, their idea being that it
should be left to the inspector of the
local government board to discover any
defects-if he could then do so-when
the buildings were finished. That
seems indeed to be the ordinary pro-
cedure, and it was more or less by
chance that the surveyor was consult
ed on this occasion.
Curious Dog Story.
A rather curious dog story comes 10
me this week. An Irish terrier was
sent all the way from Rome by its
owner, a great lady of the Italian cap
ital, to be buried in Ireland. The lady
was passionately fond of the dog, and
when it died recently she had it EN-
balmed and eucased in an elaborate
and expensive coffin. She Immediately
communicated with firm of London
lawyers, requesting them to find some
place in Ireland where her pet could
be buried and its remains rest undis-
turbad. AS a result, she was put into
communication with Joseph Lowry,
Bachelors Lodge, the famous race
horse owner. He agreed to allow the
dog to be buried on his estate, and
the coffin from the Italian woman duly
arrived from Rome. After the inter
ment the bereaved owner of the Irish
terrier paid Mr.. Lowry a check for a
substantial sum, for the burial ground
probably two square feet-and also
left the wherewithal to purchase
tombstone

LETTER FROM DUBLIN.

Dublin, Dec. 25.-It is hard to write
about ireland these days without get
ting into the question of politics and
the general election. The whole coun-
try is ablaze with the feeling that it
is only a matter of months now before
an Irish parliament, with full author
ity to deal with Irish affairs, will meet
in Dublin. The statement of Premier
Asquith of the Liberal home rule pro-
gram is responsible for this telling.
With the question made a leader in the
campaign, it is felt in the event of d
liberal victory, the house of commons
must pass an adequate home rule bill
and the lords will not dare veto it. Ire
land feels, therefore, that she has good
reason to rejoice. 1t is realized, how
ever that the battle is not won yet,
that it is going to take hard work to
bring about victory for the anti-lords
party in the election. The great in
terests opposed to the budget are des-
perate, and will fight out to the last
ditch. 1t will not be walkover by
anV means

The report of the department Of ag-
ricultural statistics recently issued
throws some light on the land prob
lem in Ireland. The conditions of farm
ing generally will be understood from
the fact that one-fourth of the land
of Ireland is held by occupiers of less
than thirty acres. Some time ago the
department instituted an inquiry TO
ascertain the minimum holding on
which it was possible for a farmer to
live without other aids to subsistence,
and the limit was thirty acres. The
present return shows that 351, 0S7 hold
ings do not exceed this thirty acre
limit The average size of the holdings
in this class is only thirteen acres. On
the other hand. while thirty-five out
of every fifty tenants occupy uneco-
nomic holdings, 1,544 tenants occupy
nearly two million acres, or one-tenth
of the soil of Ireland, and their hold
ings, which range from five hundred
acres upward, average three thousand
three hundred acres in extent.
Analysing the surnames in Ireland
and comparing them with those in
England and Scotland, Sir Robert E.
Matheson, Ii. D., registrar general
for Ireland, makes some very interest
ing discoveries in a special report just
