ShiIIaIah still Useful,

The shillalah, which showed at
Louth that it has not entirely lost its
old Importance as a factor in deciding
elections, Is no raw limb of a tree.
1t is almost as much a work of art as
a well balanced cricket bat The old
shillalahs were as carefully looked
after by their loving owners as is q
rife in the wilds. Cut from the stur
diest OF young blackthorns, and show.
ing as little taper as an ebony ruler.
1t was weighted with lead or iron at
the end nearest the grip. so that its
center of gravity was about four
fifths Of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the neighborhood of the farm
oven for a few months, it became
thing of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation of the name of this
fearsome weapon is the melodious one
of "shil-ally," with the accent on the
"all."-London Chronicle.

Prince Louis, who is heir to the
throne of the little principally OF
Monaco, famous throughout the world
as the greatest gambling resort in ex-
istence, may never WELD the power
now exercised by his father, Prince
Albert. Although the profits from the
casino pay all the taxes of the prin-
cipality, thereby freeing every citi-
zen from financial obligations to the
state, the people are not contented.
They have made demands upon
Prince Albert for a constitution, and
the prince, Immediately after the ex,
pulsion of Manuel from Portugal,
granted them one. They rejected it,
however, demanding fuller political
rights, and even made demonstra-
tions before the palace, in which the
red flag of anarchy was unfurled.

granted to the Casino, about s2,400,-

The prompt ratification of the jap

notable achievement Of the admins

combination of the Monroe doctrine

ZIONISTS CONCEAL
 DEATH OF CURRIE

Waukegan, H., May 26.-Fear that ghouls would steal the body and hold it for ransom led followers of Wilbur Glenn voliva. at Zion City, to conceal the fact of the death of millionaire. James Currie of Big Springs, Tex, for nearly a week or. until a burglar proof steel vault could be installed at the Zion City cemetery. The story was made known here today.
 Currie owned 45.Ooo acres in Texas, and an expensive house in Zion City. where he had lived for the last two months with his wife and two children as a member of the church founded by Alexander Dowie. He died Monday and beyond the mere filing of death certifi- cate no information or the deatn was ojven ont until today, when the body was inferred in the steel vault.
