BY SEUMAS MAC MANUS.

Editors Notion st. Patrick's
Day, last year, there appeared on this
page six Irish Stories," enormously
attributed to the Irish poet. novelist
and lecturer, Seumas MacManus. Mr..
MacManus has protested against this
attribution, as he has long kept up
vigorous fight against this type of
Irish humor.'" His writings in the
leading magazines, in,books and in
his lectures are of practical illustra-
ton of the genuine type of Irish wit,
humor and story telling.
We are glad to publish on this st.
Patrick's Daythe following article on

and one-half blunderers- Shat an
Irishman cannot open his mouth
without putting both his feet in it
that, with the face of baboon, he
talks in baboonish jargon and that
the real recipe for producing Irish
dialect" is to make hash of the En-
glish language, salt the dish with
suf1ciency of "shure ans" and pep
per-dust it with a plentiful sprinkling
of "Oi," 'yez," "bhoy," "praste' and
BE jabers."
Under my name year ago, such a
gentleman set down here "Six best
Irish stories" that were particularly
vile. To take the bad taste off the
mouth of those who swallowed last
years, offer the following genuine
and average samples of true Irish
wit and humor:
A fair specimen of sardonic Irish
humor was that quoted by Mr.. Taft
while he was still displacing sixty
cubic feet of White House atmos-
phere. Some one asked him what his
favorite joke was, and he said that
no joke tickled him like the old one
the bit of dialogue passing between
the bar-man in the bar and his Irish
boss in the back room:
as Murphy good for a drink"
HAS he got it,"
''He has.
HE is"
II.
And the dryest Of the dry Irish wit
was well exemplified in story told to
me recently by William Allen White,
who put the sass in Kansas. When in
Ireland some years ago recklessly
searching out ancestral records, he,
strolling one afternoon through the
beautiful Phoenix Park in Dublin,
was both amused and amazed at sight
of three burly Dublin policemen striV-

Bank Hall Saturday night was
quits a success in a social way,
at least, a fairly good representa-
ton from the different precincts
of the county being in attendance
and a heaping dish of big red
berries with real cows cream on
it, and such cake as only Arvada
Ladies know how to make, made
each one feel in an unusually
good humor.
Chairman Hill was there, but
Immediately turned the meeting
over to Attorney Geo. Campbell,
who filled the chair very credita-
bly,. He called on several Of the
prominent ones in the party,
among them being Col. Hoyt and
Mr.. Owens of Golden, Senator
Carringer of Edgewater, Mrs.
Cochran of Morrison, Mr.. Spicer,
Of Edgewater, Howard H. Miller
Of Ralston Creek, and others.
The speech Of the evening. how
ever. was made by Jno. Grafton,
one of the pillars in the Progress
i've party. Mr.. Gratton's speech
Mr.. Campbell thought, was
good enough for the Democrats
to listen to. for he talked with
out interruption for about 80
minutes, and then was branded
q Democrat by Mr.. Campbell,
who was in favor of hog-tying
him and keeping him in the par
ty. Mrs. Cochran, editor Of the
Monitor made another long and
fearful appeal for mountain
roads. Mrs Cochran is a force
full speaker and commands q
hearing whether her auditors
agree with what she says or not.
nctYaen the two rather lengthy
speeches the time was 30 far ia
ken up that other noted speakers
had little chance to elucidate.
However, harmony seemed to
prevail and everyone seemed to
have . good time, especially
when the strawberries hove in
sight.
Il was decided to hold the next
meeting at Edgewater on two
weeks from that night. This
will probably wind up the love
feast series.
At the close Col. Hoyt, always
gallant, proposed q vote of thanks
to the ladies for their generous
treat Of Strawberries which it 10

A. H. Barth. j. c. Nolan and
Rev. R. Sanderson Of the town
board and w. w. Moberly, editor
of the Enterprise visited the
pumping plants of the Highland
Water Company. the Daniels 4
Fisher store and State home for
mental detectives Saturday. They
also visited the Mack building
where they have q second hand
pump for sale.
The only real practical know.
ledge gained was at Highlands,
where conditions are almost iden.
tical with Arvada. the only DIFF
ference being that we have .
lift of so feet greater than the
Highlands plant. While their
well is deeper their tank 10 not
so high as at Aryada. Here we
find the Demming pump with .
Is H. P. Electric motor raising
1000 gallons per hour and anoth.
er the Leteweller pump raising
5000 gallons per hour with the
same power. The Highlands
Company furnishes artesian wa
ter for 32l houses in North
Denver. We also learned some
facts that should make Arvada
citizens appreciate the advantage
they have over the water users
in the city. Here the average s.
room house rarely exceeds the
minimum Of $l.0O per month.
while In Denver and under this
system they make q fat charge
as follows:
FOR SIX MONTHS

Summer months, lawn

for lawn Is not included. making
the water tax for the year go. 20
for q s room house. For . Z and
8 room house the rate 10 81 30 or
80 cents more on the year. These
points should be remembered BY
the real estate men - an arsu.
ment In favor Of owning q home
in Arvada.
From Highlands we went to
Daniels & Fishers wonderful
plant Of electricity and water
supply. but here the conditions
are not exactly the same - Ar.
vada because the we'll 10 not 10
deep. but the lift 10 perhaps . 1T

At the Mack building the com.
mittee inspected q second hand
pump that had been discarded on
account Of putting in . hydrolic
system and Is now for sale. The
price and description will be pres.
ented to the board at the next
meeting.
At the county farm they have
q Demming pump. which is oper.
ated by a 20 h. p. motor and rails
ing 1000 gallons per hour. This
water is forced through the en-.
tire system Of mains the same -
Arvada system. and the overflow
goes into the tank. The cost Of
the plant could not be obtained.
The plant at Highlands has two
pumps and two motors. One 10
much more economical than the
other in that ii pumps more va.
ter with less power. 1t il the
Demming pump which cost only
$3.50 and with a Is h. p. motor
