American embassy at London brought
back with him a story that has to do
with feature of the Dufferin estate.
near Belfast-a historic ruin in the shape
of a castle that had been stronghold
of the ONeils.
1t appears that one day Lord Dufferin
visited it with his steward. one Mulligan,
and that he drew line with his walking
stick around it. at the same time in
strueting the steward to build a protect
ing wall on that line. Then Dufferin
went to the continent, feeling quite Sc
cure as to the preservation of the his
torie feature. Upon his return to Ire
land he visited the estate. The castle
was gone. He rubbed his eyes and looked
again. Then he sent for Mulligan.
"Where's the castle?" he asked.
''The castle. me lord? Sure / pulled

The Party Disoords.

In the national field, Democrats are

Republican ranks. They are making
much of ii just as though there We're
no dangerous rifts in the Democratic
lutte
In spite of the bitterness between
leaders of factions in the Republican
party. the fact is striking that in ev-
err Republican state Which has had
presidential primary thus far, the old
Republican ascendency is seen. The
marty is not losing ground, from any in
dication up TO this time. All factions
join in rejoicing over the strength OF
the party.
ON the other hand. the iealousies in
the Democratic party are seen in the

to support him. Again, where does
Bryan come i'm His denuneiation OF
Harmon. his feud with Underwood,
both are likely to figure N the national

In fact the Democratic question of

i. Osborne EauIkner.

Years ago, when the writer was news
editor Of the Lewiston Journal. he had
summary introduction TO a youngster.
Talking with a friend one day in the
telegraph department of that newspa-
per. he was interrupted by youth who
rushed in, stumbling over our feet in
a headiong plunge for table. The in
eideat was provoking in a way, but we
saw in the boy an earnestness to. ac-
complish that overrode formalities and
petty courtesies. The boy was forgiven
on the spot. for if there is anything a
newspaper man loves it is get there. :
A few moments later the city editor
came in and was asked: Who's the
KIDD
He laughed and answered: '"fhat is
an Edward Little High school boy

The kid was J. Osborne Faulkner,

a lover Of justice. whole souled assoc

"Ossie" Faulkner was loved for the
natural goodness that emanated from
him in every day life. He was big
enough In soul to forgive and to frank
lv acknowledge his own errors He dis
armed his critics by the wide-open
honesty of his tolerance of the side op-
posed to him
AT the beginning of his newspaper
work Faulkner was crude but i'm every
paragraph were the germs of truth and
of fairness. One day he came to the
writer and said: May l sit down by
you and ask questions while you edit
my copy? ] want to see what you do
to il and ask why
That was characteristic of his work.
Tile thing that he was warned against
never appeared a second time He was
there to work and TO grow. He had
the makings and he grew. None ever
questioned his earnestness or devotion
to his calling. When he erred It was
due to lack of experience, never neglect
or soldering.
In conversation with Faulkner aft
