AT MICHAEL DAvITT'S GRAVE
Tribute Paid by ExiIed Irish In Amer
lea Has Stirred Enthusiasm of
Friends of the Patriot.

Every local effort to do honor to the
memory of Michael Davitt has beer
eclipsed, says a Dublin correspondent
by the message which Patrick F. Hast
ings, a prominent member of the A. o
H., has conveyed from the Mayo Men s
societies of New York to their compa.
triots at home.
Pigrimages to the grave of Davitt
have become a common feature OF
western celebrations, but the appear.
ance of a representative from the
United States placing a wreath on
Davitt's tomb is so unique an incident
that the whole of the County of Mayo
has been stirred to unprecedented
depths of patriotic emotion.
People who have not hitherto
through variety of circumstances
found it convenient to travel to the
last resting place of the dead patriot
came along to witness the ceremony
and mark their appreciation Of the
thoughtfulness and patriotic spirit that
moved their exiled brethren in far
away New York. AS became the oc-
casion, a certain amount of solemnity
was observed, but the strains Of nu.
merous bands playing patriotic airs
sent the people home in anything but
a melancholy mood.
Nothing arouses Irish enthusiasm
more than the feeling that the exiled
Irish do not forget those whom they
have left at home in the old land.

Elsie looked about her, at the pref

flower beds outside, gay with gerani-
ums. 1t was not big house, but it
was an uncommonly comfortable one,
and it was conveniently situated with

They had been lured into the coun-
try by an advertisement OF firm of
real estate agents, which stated that
a new house, with every conven-
ience," could be purchased for three
hundred dollars down, and a little
more than ten times that sum "the
same as rent" John Hambleton had
paid off about two thousand dollars,
and now it seemed as though his
home was to be taken away. The
receipts from his business were
steadily dwindling
Perhaps it was the diversity of his
interests that made him unsuccess-
full. After all, it is difficult to argue
convincingly upon the necessity of
taking out burglar insurance when
you have just been telling another
man that the greatest danger to
house comes from fire. And John
Hambleton was an agent for all forms
of insUrance-life, accident, fire, and
burglary. So here he was at thirty
five, with home that was slipping
out Of his grasp.

STOCK CHUTE QUITE USEFUL

Mower Useful Device May Be
Hauled to All Parts of Farm.

Perhaps every farmer has occa-
sion to load some animal into a
wagon and many of them prepare for
this by building stock chute Ere
quently these chutes are built as
permanent fixtures in connection with
the feed lots, but they are often made
so that they can be transported from
one part of the farm to another.
When chute of this kind is built
heavy and strong CROUCH to support
the weight of mature hog or large

CULLlNC OUT THE OLD EWES
Good Shepherds Do Not Hesitate to
Get Rid of Grandmothers Before
They Go Down Hill.

Usually by the time that a eve has
reached the age of seven years she
has spent most of her usefulness as. q
breeder and mother Good shepherds
do not hesitate to Gull out these old
grandmothers before they go down
hill. They usually pick up in flesh
shortly after weaving time, and can
be best marketed just as hey come
from pasture-without fattening
Old ewes break in the mouth, so
to speak, and cannot eat Naturally
they keep going down in flesh, waste
much of their food, and frequently
their mouths get so sore they will not
take sufficient food to fatten them.
The wool becomes shorter and short
er with advancing age, says the Farm
Press, and lacks several pounds of
the weights they shore in their prime.
Lambs from old ewes are never as
satisfactory. The milk supply falls
short, and the lamb is dwarfed and
stunted so that it never makes
thrifty feeder.
Their presence in the flock detracts
from its appearance and value. One
or two old ewes in a flock of prime
breeders will often hurt the sale value
as much as a dollar a head. For
these reasons, then. Gull closely and
keep only the best prime breeding
ewes. With the price of mutton and
wool so low as 1t is. he cannot afford
to keep other than those from which
the best returns can be expected.

gloomily.

1t was your own suggestion, because
the removal company told you you
could get a van five dollars cheaper
on that day than any other. And we
have had nothing but i'll luck ever

Elsie drew out her handkerchief
and began to cry.
Their i'll luck had, indeed, been
phenomenal. Johns business had
steadily dwindled sickness had eaten

needed repairs which Simpson re-
fused to make The estate firm made
it's money that way, as the agent had

drawn clauses of the contract.

tropical thunderstorm, Elsie and
John made their way to the station
Wet to the skin, they took their
seats and, too wretched to talk
stared out over the rain-swept fields
The hoodoo was still at work
They reached town without an ac-

them to their new home. 1--WE may

contents had been flung to the ground.

FREAKS OF NATURE
A Tree That Throws Somersaults and g
 Waterfall Reversed.


 A tree gone mad and a waterfall that falls up instead of down are among the strange things to be seen in Ha- waii, as described by John Burroughs in the Century Magazine:
 Mature in the tropics. left to her looks as though she wanted to hang you with her dangling ropes or impale you on her thorns or engulf you in her ranks of gigantic ferns. Her mood is never as placid and sane as in the uorth There is tree in the Hawaiian woods that suggests tree gone mad. 1t is called the haul tree. It lies down, squirms and wriggles all over the ground like a wounded snake. It gets up and then takes to earth again. Now it wants to be d vine: now it wants to be tree. It throws somersaults. it makes itself into loops and rings. it rolls. it reaches, it doubles upon itself. Altogether it is the craziest vegetable growth ever saw.
 'lt was near Pali that I saw what had never seen or heard of before-a waterfall reversed, going up instead of down. It suggested Stockton's story of negative gravity. X small brook comes down off the mountain and at tempts to make the leap down q high precipice, but the winds catch it and carry it straight up in the air like smoke. It is translated; it becomes a mere wraith lowering above the bee ting crag. Night and day this goes on. the wind snatching from the noun tains in this summary way the water it has brought them."
