A LONG. HARD STRUGGLE

The start of another long and hard struggle in behalf of home rule in Ireland has been made. II has always been given the strongest opposition, and there is evidence that while the first reading brought forth a vote in It's favor by majority of 94 that the fight is just a g fresh as it ever was, with Ulster people in warlike att- tude. By the rules of parliament. the bill cannot become a law until 1914 if it is passed by the commons this year. and in that time many things are liable to happen. It is required that such a measure go before the house of lords, which has the power of veto. In that case, in order to have it become a law, the same parliament must again vote 1t within two years. The speakers against the bill are working tooth and nail for it's defeat and the elections in the meantime will be an important consideration, and the results cannot oe toretold The Irish nationalists are an important prop of the government and through that pow CT they are pushing forward the home rule bill at time and under provis- Ions which are stirring the entire pop ulation of Great Britain. with Ireland and Ulster county particularly inter eRted.

HUsTLINe FOR TAFT.

Whether the people want him or not Roosevelt is preparing to keep his hat in the ring. with the same perversity ss Carrie Nation did in her hatchet- swinging campaign and with appar- ently no better results. His latest evil dence of this was given in his speeches in Iowa. where he declared If we don't win. we are in for three years of the war This display of implicit faith in his success is characteristic of the Colonel. He is so closeted with his own ideas that he cannot get be- yOnd himself and his demagogic poli- cies, He is conducting his personal campaign because four states have given him the greater part of their delegates. On the other hand there are over % states which are with the president. Connecticut yesterday hay ing joined his forces with IA delegates who will vote for Taft. Delaware and Hawaii are likewise for the president though the formers delegates are not instructed.
 It is realized that the Massachusetts primaries will be an important part of the campaign In that state Roosevelt has made two trips. and is planning a third The Taft supporters outnum- Der the Roosevelt packers. and they are taking steps 10 see that the Bay state is not carried away by the Col 0neIs humbug appeal and his assault upon the president The awakening has come and instead of allowing him a fres rope. the Taft men will work for everything in sight and roll up the majority as big as possible.

Jake.

In little school in one of the south ern states there attended little negro chap. His name was Jake. He called everybody Massa. One day he was reading a joke book All of sudden he burst out laughing.
 'Ha, ha, that bane awful funny"
 Everybody looked at Jake.
 The schoolmaster said:
 Jake, I'll excuse you this time; but do not laugh aloud again"
 Jake did not leave off reading. When classtime came Jake did not know his lesson.
 The schoolmaster asked Jake:
 Where is CIba?"
 He scratched his head and said.
 Certainly, Massa, bane know nof- fing of Cuba or that old lesson
 What have you been doing this af- ternoon?'' asked the schoolmaster.
 ''Oh I know! Tse on then. Once a Chinaman was putting on his boot; in- stead he put his feet in some hot pea soup! Ho! ho,"
 Then Jake jumped all over the room and began 10 holler: "Ha, Ha! That bane awful funny, Massa! Whewl Wal"
 The schoolmaster began to laugh with Jake. The schoolmaster did moi get angry at Jake because he enjoyed the laugh as much as Jake.
 Jake's father was a slave under MT Lee
 During the Civil war MT, Lee and lakes father were shot at Vicksbure and Jake became neIr to the planta- tion, He left college with honors.

MEASURES FOR SAFETY.

Measures for safety, whether on land or sea. follow just such catastrophes as the Titanios loss 1t is unfortu- nate, but 1t seems to be the necessary price in meeting the great problems of life. It follows a great railroad wreck, the destruction of treproof bunding by Ire or the sinking of an unsinkaoie ship, that added pro- lection Is at once planned in the in terest of safety. Ocean travel is well protected under ordinary circum- stances and modern steamships may be the nearest thing to an unsuitable ship, but there are reasons to provide against just such occasions, for such appalling tragedies occur every few years,
 The information relayed by the Iii tanic that dangerous ice had been en- countered in that locality by other steamers, was Nwarning which would have warranted an effort to avoid it., and it may have been unsuccessfully y made. but the most deplorable fact was that there was an insufficient supply Of lifeboats With this pro- tecuOn, required Of vessels but not en- forced, all of the lives on the Titanic could have been saved. There was a smooth sea and all it is inferred could have escaped had this avenue been provided. The luxury of the other equipment of the vessel would have been better applied to such an end. and the expense entaHed in compelling that all ocean and cOasting vessels observe the regulation would have been insignificant in comparison with the loss of 1900 lives The accidents to other ships in past years demon strated this need. but 1t was not needed Conditions under which the TitaniC's commander worked will not bo known until the Carpathia arrives. but the immediate steps towards leg station and the change of the steam ship lines 10 the southern route will be valuable steps in the prevention of other disasters. though the exact conditions of the Titanics ease may never occur again.
 There is reason to believe that the lives Of many men. of prominence in various walks of life, were sacrificed. There Is no respecter of persons there and millions avail nothing. The rule that women and children shall leave first seems to have been faithfully observed. though many of the former evidently refused to be separated from their loved ones. preferrins death with them to widowhood Many heroes went down aboard the Titanic

The Star of Identification.

Dear Uncle Jed: One fine day a rich young gentleman while walking in a public park thought he heard a child crying
 Investigating, he found his supposi- ton to be correct, In a hole in the center of the park he was surprised to find. lying among the leaves, a young girl, dressed in the garments of 8 gypsy. He inserted a piece in the papers about his surprising discovery.
 Days passed into weeks, weeks into months and months to years, but he received no answer from the child s relatives, The girl became a member of the gentleman's household. and when twenty odd years had passed the girl had become 8 very beautiful young lady; and the gentleman soon found himself falling in love with her.
 One day the lady was seated in the park when some gypsy girls came to her selling baskets. The young lady was delighted and followed the maid ems to their encampment. There she went to have her fortune told, and the fortune teller had her bare her arm, revealing a blue star. The gypsy fortune teller leaped to her feet, and told the girl that she was a member of their party who strayed away and got lost. She begged the lady to re- turn to her former life; but she, re- membering the way the kind gentle man had treated her, refused. She returned home and in a few months | married the young gentleman, who proved to be a kind husband.

THE GINGERBREAD COUPLE

The gingerbread man and his dear lit

 In their little brown suits so neat. Stood side by side by the baking-pan Quite out of sorts with the heat. Their smiles were sweet, but their
 tempers bad. And something happened, extremely
 sad The woman began it. of course. Said
 she.
 You're the homeliest man in town! Your head is too large, and your feet
 too small
 And your color is quite too brown: And if there is anything l despise. lis pair of little, black, beadY
 eyes" The gingerbread man flew into a rage Just look at yourself!' cried he. You are much too fat. and your nose
 is flat,
 And your squnt is sight to see: While your dress is shockingly out of
 style. And every ones tired of that same old
 smile!" Then the gingerbread woman sobbed
 so hard
 That she cried out one of her eyes. But he scolded on till he grew quite
 cracked,
 And both of them looked like guys When, ashamed of themselves, their
 anger passed, And gingerbread truce was signed
 at last. We never will quarrel again." cried
 she.
 For I'm sure it is most absurd, And with dispositions as sweet as ours 1 cant see how it occurred Why, you know, my dear, when noth-
 ing goes wrong We are just angelic the whole day

What Frightened the Indians

Dear Uncle Jed: Once upon a time there lived in the colony of Plymouth @ woman and her husband and two children.
 One day an Indian came to the door. Only the maid was left with the chil- dren. The Indian said he was coming in, but the maid would not let him come in. The Indian stepped in.
 The maid was just quick enough to clap the children under two brass ket- ties. But the children did not under stand why they should be put under the kettles, so they began to creep about the floor with the kettles on their heads. This scared the Indian.
 Then the children began to talk and the Indian said the kettles talked and turned and ran away.

NEW ENeLANp,s suMMER TRApE


 Go where you will throughout New England, every corner of it has it's beauty spots and pleasure resorts for the attraction of the summer visitors Whether 1t is the exclusive Newport and Narragansett Pier colonies, the magnificent mountain resorts in New Hampshire, the seashore attractions along the entire coast and off the coast the Berkshires, the Green or White mountains. the many enticing lake regions or just the country board ing houses for the relief of the big city people, all can be accommodated and are accommodated. to such an extent that the estimate that over 60,00o, ,O00 was spent by the pleasure seekers and vacationists last year is not excessive. This forms one of the important business opportunities of the summer season in most instances though all the year round picturesque fishing and recreation spots are not few
 The development of the New Eng land recreation resorts has by no means reached it's limit. there being opportunities not only for more but the betterment of the present accom- modatlons of the visitors. The trunk lines of good roads through the states are putting the New England section in the proper condition for the valua ble automobile trade and where costly hotels are replacing anticipated and inadequate accommodations. great in crease in business is noted. The sea son of 1912 will see the steady inn proyement along those lines in the bid for business from New York to the end of Maine. The more summer ho- teis there are in New Englapd, the more visitors there will be and con sequently more business in all lines.
