THE PIKE UPON THE WALL

There used to hang in my old home,
relic on the Wall,
Twas forged in Murphy's black
smith shop in brave old Cushen-
DIAL;
And often in my childhood, 1 would
stand in much amaze,
And watch that silent witness of the
grand old rebel days.
Many gallus story would my grand
sire tell to me,
Bout men and deeds of Ninety-eight,
and hopes that used to be;
He showed me how the boys would
drill in Martin Kelly's hall,
Then look with fond affection toward
"a pike upon the wall.
1T was precious relic. for many a
good mans pledge, ..
Was whispered to that shining steel.
beneath a hawthorn hedge.
And many a summers night had
seen it carried thro' the glen, /;
while Luna's rays caressed the pixies
OF twice ten thousand men,
child tho was. learned to love the
dear old weapon there,
For ere l sought my nightly rest. I'd
kneel me down and, swear,
10 keep it's mem'ry in my heart,
whate'er my life befall,
And ne'er disgrace my country or the
pike upon the wall
Gran'dad would lift my tiny form
and sit me on his knee.
Methinks l hear him pleading now.
ma bouchal beg machree."
Goo bless thine eyes of Irish blue,
God bless thy ringlets fair;
Thou hast thy fathers honest face.
thy mothers sunny hair.
But will give token lad, to mind
you of my love,
Live faithful to the cause or else.
VOW by heaven above,
LII haunt you every moment until
you meet your fall,
If ever you prove faithless to the pike
upon the WALL"
And tho I've wandered far away
from childhood's happy lads.
Inc pike. know. is treasured still.
in trusty Irish hands.
God bless you. dear old playmate,
the vow is living still.
Inc VOW made to Erin upon nv ma
tive hill;
Inc birds and flowers of summer
time will surely fade away.
But the m'ry Of those lessons will
be with me for aye.
And not until the angel sounds the
exile's last recall.

THOUSANDS OF IRON
CROSS DECORATIONS

BERLIN, October Is, Correspond
ence of The Associated Press).-Im-
mediately after the revival of the
Iron Cross at the beginning of the
war not less than 100000 of these
decorations were ordered and about
40 900 of them have already been
conferred. A Berlin firm, which
makes a speciality of manufacturing
orders, keeps twenty men employed
all the time making these crosses
They are made of cast-iron, lacquered
in black and bordered with silver;
the first-class. in addition to this has
the reverse side of silver. The Iron
Cross was Instituted in 1913, during
the Napoleon wars, by King Freder-
lex William III, as a reward for brav-
cry in the field. 1t is conferred on
officers and privates alike. and is, in
fact, the most democratic of all the
PrusSian orders.

CREDIT IS GIVEN
BRAND WH|TLOCK
SAVING OF ANTWERP'S LARGE
BUILDINGS DUE TO HIS
EFFORTS

ANTWERP, Oct. 29. = To Brand
Whitlock, the American minister to
Belgium, is due the credit for saw
ing the cathedral, art galleries,
churches, theaters and public build
ings in Antwerp during the bonn
bardment o. the city by the Ger
mans. When the Germans approach
ed Antwerp, Whitlock asked the
German commander, General Won
der Goltz, to spare the historic build
ings. Thereupon the general agreed
to use his good offices in this respect
if Whitlock would prepare maps for
the German aeroplanists in order
that they might direct their firing.
Henry w. Diedrich, the American
consul general, then arranged a
number of large maps on which was
indicated the points which he desir-
ed should be avoided by the German
shells. General Won der Goltz ex-
planned t. Whitlock when he receiv-
ed the maps that his gunners could
not absolutely regulate their shells
from directions given by the aero
planists, as the guns were located
miles from the city. He added, how
ever, his men would do their best.
The shooting was so skillful that
the Palace of Justice was the only
large government building struck
during the bombardment. Two
shells hit it, but did only slight dam
age. A bomb also struck the fence
of st. Peters church. The slight
damage done to the city is consider
ed remarkable in view of the fact
that in addition to the three days
bombardment Zeppelin airships and
taube aeroplanes made attacks.
