VA a RHEN the cold days anne Jack and Evelyn began to look eagerly out
NRM of the window every night to see If there was promise of a snow
storm before morning.
3D.. Have you eve made a snow fort?' asked daddy. 1.-THE fort
is made by piing up the snow to make walls.
Jamie was a very small boy. s. l suppose he did not know much about
playing with snowbaus. His cousin Gerald and some boy friends had built a
splendid big snow fort and placed a nice dag o n a pole in the middle OF the
fort. #..@
The boys had divided. One half of them were to stay inside the fort and
the other half we're to be outside The one outside were to try to get tin the
fort and take down the flag on the pole. Whoever could pull down the flag
was to be The winner OF the game and leader of the boys ii the fort
Because he was a small boy The party in the fort did not want Jamie with
them, 50 he was left to the party outside trying to take it.
"Thts party, with snowbals in hand, marched up to the fort but they were
soon driven back by the snowbaNs of the boys behind the wall.
Jamie threw his ball with the rest but when he found that it hit the
leader Of his W party in the neck instead Of going yer the wall he pru-
IDENTITY made his way to the back Of the fort ,H-r i ~%@ #
7"Heuo, Spotr Jamie said al he caught sight Of Spot, his dog, busny
scratching away at the snow wal. Spot thought he smeled a bone inside and
was trying to get It, He had scratched quite a good sized hole
"Tm gin' tl too Jamie said to himself as he saw Spot squeeze through
the hole. "
THE boys sin the fort we're so busy keeping out the boys in front who were
climbing up the front wall that they did not notice little fouryearold Jamie.
wriggle through the hole.
"rhough small, Jamie knew what to do and, stealing up to the nagpoe, he
pulled the string that brought it down.
"The boys outside saw the flag drop and gave a yell. The flag is down.
they cried.
1.-THE boys inside turned to look at the flag and while they were not watch
ing the enemy was over the wall and had won the fort
Every one laughed when they saw who had pulled down the flag, but for
the next battle Jamie wat, of course, the general and had a fine time ordering
the other boys around" -; 80

Back hurt you? Can't straighten

sharp aches and twinges? Now lis

be from a strain, and you'll get bless
ed relief the moment you rub your

quickly. You simply rub it on and out
comes the pain. 1t is perfectly harm
less and doesn't burn or discolor the

Timber UP! Don't suffer! Get a
small trial bottle from any drug store,
and after using it just once, you'll

The Irish in Books.

This is a tall about Irishmen, the
kind that are in books n the kind
that aren't. But the Irish politicians
OF New York have no place in it, for
the lrishman who gives the talk is
fresh from County Mayo-with hopes
of learning something about our poll
tics before the election is over.
He Is Canon James O. Hannay, who
as G. A. Birmingham "rediscoyered
the Irishman for English literature"
and put him into The Adventure Of Dr..
Witty, Spanish Gold, Lalage's Lovers
and other novels that have been unus-
ually popular with Irishmen, English
men and Americans.
THE Irishman of felton," said Can
on Hannay yesterday, "has to be con-
sidered along with the Irishman of
every day life and the influences that
have affected him. Do you Of America
realize What an important part your
country has played as one of these in
f1~uences? For years America has been
getting the most vigorous and adven-
turous of our people in Ireland. / have
often been astonished by the way our
people succeed over here, going from
humble homes and returning rich and
prosperous to visit. For some reason
the atmosphere seems to stimulate
them.
I'VE in Ireland do not like this con-
slant drain, for we prefer that they
remain at home, but friends and rela-
tiyes In this country by providing
passage none have induced many to
come to America. With the better
ment Of the conditions Of Irish life
greater prosperity, better homes and a
higher standard of living--emigration
is steadily diminishing.
1T is noteworthy that the Irish who
come out here are extraordinarily good
in helping friends and relatives who
REMAIN in Ireland. Not only do thou
sands and thousands of pounds pour
into the country at Christmas time i n
American money orders, but regular
remittances are made the year round.
1t is a most extraordinary fact that
the old 6 pension committees in
computing the income of applicants
Ealways> ask: Are you In receipt of
money from America? IL SO the
iamount is reckoned in the applicants
Iincome, Just as lie it were SO much in
leone from investments in American
stocks or bonds.
THE whole Of Irish life is growing
more serious. Up to the time of Synge
1.-the Irishman of the novel and drama
Ihad been pictured as a reckless dare
Fdevil, always joking. The fact OF the
matter is that under his gayety was a
note of seriousness, the existence of
4 which everybody eralized az soon as
i Synge brought it out. Them it became
fashionable with the neo-Celtic school
to emphasize Synge's view. Synge vas
a great man, q genius, but now there
is danger that our Young writers will
Thy oyeT-empiasizing the serious side
4 destroy the balance that he restored.
EISynge's disciples are now p~1cturing a
fate driven, sad-eyed %IrishTr1an, living
lin a life OF sordidness. AS al writer

Among the subjects on which Canon
Hannay will lecture while in this coun-
try are The Irishman in English Ffc-
ton, The Literary Revival In Contem-
porary Ireland and The Economic Re-

No Secret Divorce.

Brooklyn Eagle: In deciding that no
divorce proceedings shall be held II
secret, the equity court judges of the
District Of Columbia established a
precedent that ought to be everywhere
followed. Hearings before referees
and the subsequent sealing Of papers
by court orders do not necessarily
imply collision between litigants, but
the suspicion hat collision does exist
Is liable to arise in regard to any case
at any time, and. moreover, the ex-
tension of the secret hearing privilege
to those who can afford the luxury Of
referees is directly hostile to the
theory that the law is for all alike.

The Farm Women,

Kansas City Times: In this late
day of progress every farm woman
ought to live as comfortably in her
home as the women in the cities.
Their work may be more difficult and
laborious, it is true, but that is all
the more reason why she should have
every comfort that is possible and
every help that will lift a pound OF
her daily burdens or ave her one
weary step. And every right-mindet
farmer ought to recognize this claim
Of the farm wife as her fair share o.
the profits she has helped to make
And every self-respecting farmer
when he is awake to the importance
Of this question will let nothing stand
in the way Of giving the farm womer
this help.

Women Votsrs in Illinois.

Utica, n. Y, Observer: The wom-
en-. in Illinois showed where they
stand on the saloon question. This
was the first time hat they had the
opportunity to vote in that state. The
dispatches say that they swarmed to
the polls and in all but one out of
twenty-five municipalities dealt a blow
to the saloons.
The Illinois vote has a Significance
beyond the state, for it will be one
Of the arguments advanced for and
against suffrage in other states. 1t will
be heard in New York next winter
when the amendment permitting WON
en- suffrage comes up, and perhaps
next fall when the men Of the state
may vote upon the proposition
whether or not the m shall be
granted suffrage. The Illinois vote
will make the women suffrage fight
all the more pronounced.

Cost of Intervention.

Boston Herald: Officials in Wash
ington have estimated hat half q mil
lion soldiers would be needed to guard
foreign property in Mexico. No one
knows how. many more would be need
ed to guard the polls at a "constitu-
tional' election, nor how many would
be needed to persuade General Huerta
TO consent to another election on a
date fixed by the United States.
Armed Intervention is such a big
undertaking that Washington should
exhaust all other before de-
Gliding upon it.

Mitchell and

Brooklyn Times: Mayor-elect
Mitchell is not a bit backward in pro-
claiming his policy as to appoint
ments and patronage. Summarized
that policy means the recognition Of
every decent clement in the communi-
ty. and the exclusion of Tammany
Hall from either conference or con-
sidcIation.
Any other course would leave the
impression in the public mind that Mr..
Mitchers policy. in its political rela-
tons, meant the erection of a demo-
cratic machine to capture or destroy
Tammany Hall. Such a policy is not
needed. 1t is altogether likely that
within the four years of Mr.. MitcheIs
term as mayor, Murphyism in New
York will di~sintegrate, and before the
next presidential election comes
around a sane and honest democracy
will have come into power in this city.

The Coryston Family.
On page 81 of The Coryston Family
Mrs. Humphrey Wards new novel,
Lady Coryston sells the Dorsetshire
estates Of the family, and on page 1922,
when the Coryston property is divided
after her death, the elder son takes
them over. This mistake may be cred
tied to Mrs. Ward and not to Lady
Coryston, who, although she never
would have overlooked such an error,
made the mistake of meddling in poll
tics. Mrs. Ward, novelist, also has a
reputation as an anti-suffragist, and
1T may be worthy of note that The
Coryston Family appears in this coun-
try at the same time that Mrs. Pank-
hurst puts in an appearance.
Damn politics for women, I say
damn them!" is the way Mrs. Ward
puts it in the mouth of Arthur Cory
ston after he rebels, as his father and
older brother did before him, against
Lady Coryston's tyrannical sway over
his political beliefs. She considered
that it was her duty, also her right
to prepare Tory speeches for the male
members of the family. .
Several love affairs provide a casing
for Mrs Wards political propaganda,
and a goodly supply Of other characters
provide the machinery, which runs
perfectly because Mrs. Ward is a clev-
