CIRCUIT RIDING IN KANSAS
Conquering Crowd of Cowboys and
 Frightened Bride
From the Hutchinson News.

From the Hutchinson News.
 Thirty years ago the Rev, Billy Will Hams, who is holding meetings at the Methodist church. was Kansas circuit rider, riding on horseback over a circuit 30 miles long and preaching three times each Sunday.
 VT was ordained into the ministry of Kansas" said the Reverend Mir Will Hams. When I rode the circuit there were three sod house school houses and one church in which I held my meet ings. l once ran a bunch of cowboys out of one of my meetings on that circuit. I took the stove poker to do 1t, but they went.
 ."After church was over they came over to the parsonage with lot of canned oysters and other things to eat and we had a regular little banquet. They took possession of the place and when they went away they passed the hat and took up a collection of $55 and gave 1t to me for the church.
 q had plenty of experience on that Kansas circuit. Once wife and I had to go to a Dutchmans house to marry him. As no other place to stay all night was close we had 10 stay at his house. There was just one room in it, big square room divided by a cloth curtain.
 After everything had quieted down and we were all in bed we were awakened by a bloodcurdling scream from the other side of the partition We jerked back the curtain and struck light and there was the bride sitting bolt Ip- right in bed screeehing murder. with a big bull snake which had crawled into the house hanging from a rafter over head and swinging like a clock pendulum with it's head few inches from her nose
 'T once rode 10 miles and married a man wl:o had no money but had quite a number of potatoes planted. He prom ised to give me a sack for performing the ceremony if there was big yield, but he never did. heard later that the marriage did not stick

The Great Horn Spoon

From the Southern Workman.
 Horns of the Rock Mountain sheep, the buffalo and the mountain goat are made into dishes, ladies and spoons. Some of these are carved, while others are both carved and inlaid with shell. The decora- ton is sometimes geometric, but often & conventional representation of animal forms. This is especially true of the spoons of the Indians on the coast of Northern British Colombia and Southern Alaska. A few of these spoons are so large. so wonderfully artistic and so well made from the horn of the rare Rocky Mountain sheep that even a moderately good one may appropriately be called a great horn spoon" These are of rich, golden yellow color. By far the greater number of horn spoons in this same re- zion arc made of the horn of the moun-

A TripIe Life

From the New York Sun.
 Otto 1T. Kahn, the New York banker. said in tho smoking room of the Amerika
 "A four months tour of Europe has convinced me that my own country has the best government in the world Amer ica is the land of opportunity for rich and poor alike. Hard work is all that is required. and you'll always find the hardest worker at the top.
 "It reminds me of q story MT. Kahn continued "It is a story about large employer of labor An undering sought private interview of this man one day. and closing the office door said in a mysterious whisper:
 CT think it is only fair to tell you. sir that it is rumored in the plant that you are leading a double life.
 Well. by George. am too.' said the employer in loud hearty voice, as he onened the door as sign that the Inter- view was at an end. Tn fact. you might say am leading triple life, for l work three times as hard as any man or woman on my payroll.

works for violin and for cello. The message conveyed by them is so direct and powerful, because of it's simplicity, that the accompaniments written for them by such masters as Mendelssohn and Schumann detract more than they add That these men failed was due perhaps to the fact that they were not possessed of modern minds.' and there fore not competent to write the accom- paniments that you seem to feel neces- sary.
 Joseph Joachim, a personal friend of both Mendelssohn and Schumann, pre- ferred to play the sonatas without ac- compartment: and Pablo. Casals is not less devoted to the solo works for cello by Bach His performances of that mas ter's suite in c major seem to place him. more perhaps than does his playing of which he occupies today in Europe. And all the other great musicians, too numerous to mention here, but who will continue playing nevertheless, to appre- ciative listeners of Bach's immortal solo sonatas, despite the fact that it is not very clear to the modern mind why they were written"

IRELAND IS NOT 4 LAWLESS COUNTRY School Boys Kill Their Master-May Abolish
 Warehouses
Fly THOMAS EMMETT

l Dublin, March 9.-(Special. )-Every
 few days comes some cold hard fact to
 disprove the impression, especially pre- yailing in England that Ireland Is a
 lawless country and that Irishmen are national lawbreakers. I see this item
 in current papers: For the first time | for % years Judge Curran received
 white gloves in County Longforu rrv
 other day. He congratulated the grand
 jury on the disappearance of boycotting
 and intimidation"
 It is the custom in Ireland when there are no criminal cases to be han died at a regular term of court to present the judge with a pair of white gloves. Longford is not the only coun- ty which, within the past few months, has been able to make this presenta-
 tlon.
 As a matter of fact outside of the
 recent troubles in Belfast, Ireland has
 been singularly free from serious crime.
 The trouble in the north is due to the fact that Irlshmen take their politics very seriously. whether they are Pro testant or Catholic, and because of the
 me thod of government here for several hundred years 1t Is hard to separate re- | lgion and politics in Ireland, which ac- counts for the bitterness in the north. Astonishing evidence was given at Trim. County Meath. al the magisterial | inquiry into the attack on Mir. John Kelly. assistant master at the local in- dustrial school, who died from his in- jurles. Eight of the hoy inmates are
 charged with causing his death. Mir. Samuel Kelly the head master. said he was crossing the exercise yard
 when his attention was attracted by
 an unusual stiffness. He went straight to the right to where the two boys were clustering, and said, Boys, what's up." There was no reply He re- peated the question. and then looked around, and saw a figure lying in the
 yard under the shed. It. was MT. John
 Kelly. When the body had been re-
 moved. he ordered all the boys who had
 been in the shed to bed, and when the
 roll was called two of the lads were missing
 Joseph Hare, I. said that when the assistant master came into the school yard, the boys were standing in line in shed, and had hurley sticks, scrub ping brushes, and sweeping brushes in their hands. MT. Kelly walked to the shed. When he turned to leave he re. ceived blow on the head from a large scrubbing brush which was aimed by
 Thomas Reilly. MT. Kelly fell down. other boys rushed in. and struck him
 with sticks and brushes Hare had heard Patrick Cox being asked if he
 were ready to hit MT. Kelly, Cox said, All right"
 Why did the boys attack MT. Kellyo For makir% them stop playing hurley in the yard The death is announced of Countess
 Murphy of Clifton, Montenotte, Cork, in her elghtythird year. She was . mefnber of very old, Cork family. the i.ehays of Shanakiel Born in lS3O. she married Mir. John Nicholas Murphy in 1 1869. His literary attachments aud liv- ish charity earned him the distinction
