A LEGEND OF THE BARRYs.

The castle of the Barrys was stu,
ated at Shanacloch, on the banks Of
the River Bride, between RathcormaC
and Chenille. This ruin castle, like
almost all others in Ireland has many
ghostly tales connected with it, Il
underwent a siege at the hands of the
Williamites, and its brave garrison
at length by treachery, and its de-
tenders murdered in. cold blood.
The following story was told by an
old retainer of the Barrys:
In the seventeenth century, when
King James of nasty memory, who
lost Ireland, came over here, the Will
! liamites army laid siege to Shanacloch
castle, which then belonged to the
Barrys. 1t was garrisoned for James
| by men of the Barrys name only. The
great guns were planted at Bush park,
and they roared night and day. The
! Williamites battered the walls with
poor effect One dark night the be-
! siegers stole upon the castle. but the
besieged were prepared and gave
them such receptions that they re-
tired helter-skelter and raised the
siege The battle-aXes of the BarryS
had done dreadful execution on the
heads of the Williamites soldiers, and
their army retired toward Mallow. On
! the way they met a man going to-
wards the castle of the Barrys. "HoI-
loa, friend said the general, who
are you and where might you be going
at this rate?" Il am an honest
brougue-maker, saving your honors
presence. and carrying this kish of
brogues to the garrison at Shanacloch, :"
said the horseman.
''Will you come back tonight?" said
the general
lis it come back your honor means?
Troth, if / put my eyes on kippins. the
boys wouldn't let me quit tonight I'll
be bail for lashing Of whisky there,
and hay and oats for this old beast"
''Hark We, friend said the general
You don't seem to be overburthened
with money, and if you get fistful of
yellow guineas. would you have any
objection to do me a trifle of serv-
ice?" The brogue-maller agreed to
the bargain to betray the Barrys. and
let the enemy in at the dead hour of
night by opening the castle gate. The
garrison, being worn out and fatigued
by long, long watching, slept heavily
and the enemies having gained admit
lance, put every man in the castle by
the sword, or in other ways they
were murdered in cold blood by the
act of treachery on the part of their
countryman and friends Eighteen
Redmond Barrys were among the
slain, the massacre having been fin
ished. the traitor claimed his reward
The general replied that he would give
him all he baTgained for and a trifle
over. and when he had paid the money
down, he struck off the Villains head
for betraying the noble fellows whose
blood flowed freely through every
room of the castle that night-a warn
ing to future traitors
From that time forward. headless |
horseman was seen every night. but 1t |
was not said that he ever done the !
least injury to anyone. He always APP
peared before the old castle, but in |
the course of time his visit ceased and |
nothing is heard of him now save in |
and stories by old people of |
the neighborhood

KISSED THE BLARNEY STONE.

Much has been said on the mystery
of the blarney stone.
Provincial news (says the Irish In
dependency shows that Blarney is hav-
ing a successful season. The wide
world over, no stranger local custom
exists than that of kissing the stone.
That stone, mind, has neither history
nor legend. 1t just found itself in a
high place one day with the figures
"1I03" inscribed on it. The date con-
veys naught. No Barney celebrity
of that period seems to have had any
special proves in the domain of pa
laver, flattery, wheedling eloquence
How and why people began straining
and risking their necks is first
class mystery That they are kissing
the flint for nothing is undeniable
The figures are Obliterated. 1t has
shrunk in size. The lip-service of the
great has enhanced its renown. Sir
Walter Scott reverently kissed it. and
doubtless wrote with more reckless
facility than before-if such were
possible

New York World in a special cable
thus says of the result of the general
election held in England:
William Arthur Redmond, son of
John E. Redmond, was elected for
I East Tyrone by one hundred and for
~ majority on December II. In East
Tyrone the vote is always close; he
must be particularly good candidate
who wins. Young Redmond is a fine
orator; his election increased the
number of Nationalist votes in the
new House of Commons. The Nation
alists also made a gain in the south
division of Dublin, very important
constituency. Now the city of Dub
lin with four members is Nationalist
solidly.
William O'Brien Badly Defeated.
The Irish party has done remarka-
BILE well. winning from the Unionists
the two members from South Dublin
and Mid Tyrone and two from Will
liam O'Brien from North Louth and
East Mayo. Everywhere outside of
Cork William O'Brien and his candi-
dates were overwhelmingly beaten.
Even in East Cork, adjoining Cork
city, Capt Donelan, a Protestant and
the Nationalist chief whip, defeat
ed Mr.. O'Brien by nearly 1000 votes.
Mr.. O'Brien was also g candidate in
South Mayo; the Nationalist candi
date had 2,S4S majority.
William O'Brien was himself the
in East Cork and South
Mayo, because he hoped to carry
them by his personal influence. Then
he intended to hand over the seats to
trusted supporters or to English To-
ries, like Morton Frewen, who have
been helping him. Mr.. O'Brien will
have six followers in the new House
of Commons

freedom of women is what is keeping
them out of the prisons.
There is a strong woman's suffrage
party among US, but l would not say
that is a reason for the few crimes of
women. 1t is rather another glorious
result of allowing woman to work.
Before that she was perhaps unfit to
vote. But the broadening influence of
work not only has the result of making
her refrain from active lawbreaking,
but also it gives her the positive inn
pulse to assist in wise lawmaEing.'

NOW. OR NEVER.

The Catholic Standard and Times is
sanguine that the battle which has
been raging since the days of O'Con-
nell and Butt is won. We hope the
prophecy viii be fulfilled. 1t says:
Home Rule is assured. L speak
what | know" This is the pith of a
message cabled from Ireland by Mr..
John E. Redmond. the Irish leader to
Mr.: Michael j. Ryan, the national
president of the United Irish League
of America, and by that gentleman
elaborated into manifesto of ringing
welcome to the news and hearty en-
enlargement to the men now pressing
on to victory at the front
Mr.. Asquith. the Prime Minister,
pressed to speak out on the subject in
London, gave an unqualified undertake
ing that a Home Rule bill shall be
introduced as a result of the new
election. Mr.. Lloyd George, Chancellor
of the EXchequer is pledged similarly,
and, to reassure the timid Protestant
element. laid down the limitation that
no Established Church, either Protest
ant or Catholic, would be set up in
Ireland, and therefore the factionist
cry of possible oppression of the mi
nority by the majority was devoid of
any basis of likelihood or fact.
The election. is now nearly decided
and its result leaves the Liberal gov
eminent in a position to deal with the
House of Lords so that it shall no
longer be in a position to block popu-
lar legislation. Hence the last obsta-
Gle to Home Rule must soon be carted
away and the road made free and
smooth. The gates of the Irish par
lament house must soon swing wide
and as the first meeting inaugurates
the change, Irishmen all over the
world will repeat the salutation of

RICHES OF SOIL WONDERFUL

But the object of this story Ss to call atten- ton once more, and for perhaps the thou sandth time, to the riches of the soil along the Colorado on both sides, incident to the cepOsitdg of this mass of debris during all the past ages. Going through the country on the Arizona side of the river, for several miles below Yuma, one encounters the same type Of country and soil that is found in the Imperial Valley country around BsGwley, Calexico and other points west of the river The fertility of the black prairie soils of FITi- nois has >tonished people engaged in agrf- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys Of the Nile has been matter of history for at least 60Ge years. Those who are familinr with Illinois prairie soil, and those who know what the valley of the Nile is for agriculture, Know that this lover Colorado River region surpasseS both of them.
 If you ask farmer along tAfs strsfeh of country if the soil is six fest, his eyes wifi open with astonishment ai yoflf ignorance. He will tell you no one knows whether 1T is 60 feet, COG G,OOO feet deep. It is practically without bottom. It is so thoroughly we'll mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks. It is as easily worked as a heap of ashes, ard re- spends to cuitivatioE in way that is mar VelouS,
The Arizona sentinel., 1910-06-09

The United States has an experiment farm on
 the mesa just on the outskirts of Yuma. Here
 ultS even more marvellous than in the valley are produced. Down on the lower levels there
 are little nips of frosty mornings occasionally
 during December and January, but on the mesa
 the breath of frost never touches the most del
 cate vegetation. Oranges grown at the Feder- al experiment station are unsurpassed in their delicious quality.
 Yuma is a busy, up-to-date town. The more modern Improvements consist of several blocks Of attractive brick buildings. three-story post office building. also of brick. and many other nice structures. Among some of the greater improvements which are being made, are 8 S35 0C0 school building, a s75.COO ice plant, fine clubhouse for the railroad employees, larger passenger depot, and the probability Of a new court house to cost S75, GOO. There is con siderable business done there, but the people have not begun to awaken to the vast possbili ties of the place. They should at once erect an up-to-date tourist hotel. It should have ample grounds around it and be planted with all kinds of tropical vegetation If atmosphere were only transportable like mineral waters, and one could send consignmentS of this Yuma winter air to the East, the inspiration of it's health-glvlng qualities would bring 20.CO0 tourists every winter to the banks of the Colo rado River.
 Yuma needs only to make known it's climatic attractions in the parts of the East swept every year by biZzardS and SnOwStorlnS to attract city full every winter. he fertility of the val ley below will almost make itself known with out effort on the part of the people. But with a valley full of intelligent and indpStriOUS rural population, producing fruits and vegetables poultry. eggs. fresh milk and fragrant butter, Yuma should be one of the most delightful winter resorts in all America. There is every thing there to furnish tourists with the most healthfnl and deciciouS food and if the air in that region does not drive doctors to seek living elsewhere. it will be because the people Go not know how to live properly,
 The Laguna Dam will be completed ln 1909, and in ten years from today tho attractions of Yuma as a health resort and the fertility of shese bottom lands will be well Known that It will require sl,000 in cash to buy a single acre of it.
