 This ballad. exactly in the style of the street poets, was written by Chas. J. Kickhan for the purpose ox dls-s couraginE enlistments in the British army, and immediately became very popular in Ireland while it was very unpopular in England. My name is Patrick Sheehs
 My years are thirty-four, Tfpperary is my native place Not far from Ga1tymore; I came of honest parents
 But now they're lying low And many a pleasant day spelt In the glen of Aherlow. My father died: I closed his eyes Outside our cabin door; The landlord and the sheriff, too Were there the. day before; And there my loving mother
 And sisters three also Were forced to go. with broken hearts From the glen Of Aher1ow. For three long months in search of T wandered far and near; went then to the poorhouse
 For to see my mother dear;

 But still in all my woe. blessed the friends who made their
 graves
 In the glen of Aherlow. Bereft of home and kith and kin. With plenty all around, I starved within my cabin,
 And slept upon the ground. But cruel as my lot was.
 I ne'er did hardship know, Till Joined the British army,
 elf.- I-- Rouse up, there" says the corporal, You lazy Eirisn 'ound! Why don't you hear, you sleepy dog, The call to arms saund!" A1asI I had been dreaming
 Or days long, long ago; I woke before Sebastopoo1.
 And not in Aherlow. T groped to find my musket,-
 How dark I thought the night! o gb1essed Godi It was not dark, It was the broad daylight, And when I found that was blind, My tears began to flow: I longed for even a pauper's grave In the glen of Aher1ow. O blessed Virgin Mary
 Mine Is a mournful ta1e: A poor blind prisoner here am, In DubIin's dreary jail, Struck blind within the trenches Where vI've never feared the foe; And-now I'll never see again
 The glen of Aherlow.  A poor neglected mendfcant
 I wandered though the street: My nine months. pension now being

Take heed of what I say For if you join the English ranks You'H surely rue the day. And whenever you are tempted A soldering to go, Remember poor blind old Sheehan Of the glen of AherIow.

5000, 900 FRENCH. READY TO DIE IN
 PARIS TRENCHES

London, Sept. 3-The British people continue to accept with stoicism the lack of news concerning the operations of the British army on the continent The government has repeatedly as sured the public that all news consis tent with the general interest would be given out and the people are &C., cepttng that assurance.
 The French of1cial reports say the action on the right of the northern wing has resulted in checking the Germans for a time The inference plainly is that the Germans are em- p1oying all their force in an envelop- ing movement against the allies left wing That part of the allied army is retiring to the south and west in dicates that the Germans have not yet outf1anked them.
 Apparently Germans have abandon ed the west of Belgium to pour all their forces toward the road for Paris. Reports that they are nreparing to attack Antwerp were not believed here because there seems to be no definite strategic reason for such a move. Mil itary experts agree that the Germans are unlikely to waste more than a screening body to. prevent a serious Belgian sortie against their line of communication.
 The occupation of Brussels probably was a demonstration for it's moral ef- 4SCI DoG dIl assault AUIW6Fp, IL to considered, would be@a, side issue with so little effect upon the main plan of campaign that it would be a useless expenditure Of men and energy. There may be a strong method in the allies policy of gradual retreat and compel1- ing the Germans to make repeated costly attacks while the allies keep a compact front before their last line of defense
 Three million F'renchmen are under arms to defend Paris. They still have confidence in the ultimate result of the war.
 The list of killed, wounded and miss ing British officers from the crack regiments which were engaged in the four days battle Of last week, brings mourning to many noble and aristo- cratic homes.
 The Prince of Wales fund for the relief of suffering is now over S10,- 00o,0 900. Recruiting in Great Britain has received impetus from the events of the past fortnight.

Keep your dtges- tive organs in shape, be sure to have at least one free movement of the bowels every day, without exception, and you would not be susceptible to colds. A great deal more upon this subject, it mentioned in the Home Health Club book, Vol. 3. However 1t is not only necessary for you to pre- vent further complications, such as colds, but it is also necessary for you to clear your system of impurities all ready present and to increase the ac- tivity of the stomach, and liver,' the bowels and the kidneys SO that they will perform their normal functions. A great deal depends also upon the food you eat and how much you eat. Those who overload their stomachs can never expect to be real well. TAey will always be troubled. with colds and other ailments, much more so than the person who eats moderately schews every morsel of food well, thus al- ways gains the benefit of the food taken.
