VIOLATION OF TREATY FEARED.
Wilson Against Exemption of American
Ships from Canal Tolls.

Washington, d. c., Jan. 2s.How to
dispose of the Panama canal tolls ques-
tion was the subject uppermost in the
discussion about the capitol yesterday
when the presidents position was as
serted to be that the provision of the
Panama canal act which grants toll ex-
emption to American coastwise vessels
is in violation of the HayPauncefose
treaty.
Before definite action is taken in Con-
gress a public statement from the presi-
dent is awaited.
Senator Page of Vermont. Republican
member of the canal committee, in dis
GUESSING the tolls question, said he al
ways had been opposed to the exemp-
tion of American ships from tolls but ex-
pressed the belief that the majority of
the canal committee would take firm
stand to uphold the law as it stands.

scenery, and it is there, too, that the
attractive characteristics Of the peo-
pie are portrayed. Southern Ireland
is SO poor in farm lands that the tray
eler wonders how the peasants live,
surrounded in many places by rocks
heather fields and peat boys, with
here and there only little patch of
reclaimed land, where a few potatoes
or some green's may be grown.
Even pigs are scarce. Unless these
little grunters are really kept In the
parlors of the one or two roomed
cabins, they are noted more for their
absence than by their presence. The
beautiful heather fields Of the island
are snare for the stranger who starts
to gather a bunch of the pretty weeds,
as there is apt to be a particularly
beautiful spray a little way off from
the road. But woe unto him who
takes his first step from the highway.
His feet sink to his shoetops into the
marsh. Another step, and it is diff
cult to get out. To attempt to cross
the bog would be serious, and so the
peasants do not clear these fields and
plant crops.
Among the peasants there are many
good Irish songs sung and many tales
told of the "ould days" when dis
cussions with sticks were the fash
ion. In few old homes the big, stoUt
shillelahs which have either lost or
won battles have been preserved for
generations, descending with their his
tories from Oldest son to oldest sou.
Few tourists return from Ireland with
out a stout bludgeon, but that is a
souvenir made only for the traveller;
it's length is only about one-half that
of the old three-foot fighting stick
which was used by friend to crack
MS neighbours skull. In the days of
faction fighting the followers Of both
sides welcomed the opportunity to get
clean kilt" as they called it, If they
were beaten or to murder, which meant
beat, another. Despite the fact that
the law was opposed to this form OF
amusement, it was powerless in the
hands of judges and juries who them
selves took part in this faVorite sport.

REALLY NOTHING OF MOMENT
Pathetic Message From Mrs. Young
husband Stirred No Feeling With
in Messenger Boy.

He was fretful and lonely, for his
wife had taken her first post-nuptial
trip away from him. She would be
away a whole week-a whole week of
loneliness and anxiety. He pictured
her eQually-even more-distressed at
the separation. Outside to accenuate
his misery, the rain streamed down in
an amending torrent. The wind
whistled lugubrious vail as an &C
compartment to his feelings, and the
thunder put in few well-chosen or
chestral effects. The door bell began
to ring violently just as the clock
struck two. Mr.. Younghusband listened
with mixed joy and fear. His wife,
perhaps. His eager ear heard the
janitor, sleepy and grumbling, open
the door. A messenger boy, dripping
and soaked, stood without the portal
as the janitor unbolted the door. He
handed saturated envelope to the
janitor: 'Mr. Younghusband? ?" ANY
thing Important" Nav, t amt
nothin'! A woman says her heart Is
breakin' for him In Boston"

WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithyille, Ind.-"SiX months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
"We used a number Of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake of Cuti-
Cura Soap and box Of Cuticura ONT
ment. / washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed we'll. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912.

NINE. MERITS ADVICE
TWO GOOD ENTERTAINMENTS
FOR ST. PATRIcK's DAY.
Guessing Contest That Is Sure TO
Prove Amusing - Appropriate
Sweet With Which Hostess
May Make Hit on the 18th.

Here is something in the way Of a
guessing contest that you may like to
try on the 18th. l would advise all
Of you to look up on Irish dialect be-
fore attempting to answer or insert
the right words:
Young Barney O'Neal was a merry
He could dance fine jig, or - 2 a
gay tune.
But, alas, quite a spendthrift, twas
plain to be seen
For he danced, and he drank, and he
smoked his - g.
And he loved his sweet - named
Norah McShay,
Who, although she loved Barney,
would not name the day.
"Ah, Norah - s." young Barney
would cry,
Your eyes are as blue as the fair -
sky.
Be my own little bride, and we'll sail
DER the sea,
And build a wee home in the land of
the free"
But Norah just smiled, and shook her
sweet head,
And sand, Barney, darlin'. we should
not be we'd
For tween drinkin' and smokin'. and
dancin', ween,
We'd have nothing to cook in our lit
tie II"
But she soon changed her mind, for
what maiden resists
The love of an - 8 when he per-
sists?
So they plighted their troth with a lit
tie gold ring,
And were wed when the - 9 grew
green in the spring.
On his shoulders so broad, his - 10
he swung,
From which the brides clothes in a
neat bundle hung.
TO the fair - II quays they travelled
at dawn,
Where the ship rode at anchor on -
Il morn.
His - 13 Barney tipped to the -
IA,
AS they left the green land behind
many a mile
But the little bride sighed as they
sailed on afar,
And softly she whispered, Dear -
15"

MORE THAN AN ORNAMENT
Fashion of Wearing a Rose at the
Throat Is to Be Commended for
TWO Reasons.

A rose at the throat is welcome
street sight these days, but these ex-
otics are not worn solely as an or
nament. In fact, the fashion was
launched for the very sensible pur-
pose Of protecting the throat which at
present is too much exposed for com
fort and not infrequently for beauty.
AS the fabric rose-it is invariably in
satin or silk-must be attached to
something it is kept in place by means
OF velvet ribbon band, broad enough
to take the place of the high stock
collar of a few years ago.
The rose at the throat should not
be over-large although it may be
either half or full blown and of any
natural color 1t is sometimes worn
without foliage, but it looks better if
supplemented by one or two small
leaves in dark green silk, and it should
be of a hue to harmonic with the
velvet neckband, which, in turn,
should accord with either the hat or
its trimmings.

DICTATES OF FASHION

Flowered cotton crepe is used even
for young girls nightgowns.
Now the fascinating flesh tint Ia
seen even in marabou trimmings.
The loveliest new imported laces are
outlined with gold and silver.
Some of the most extreme evening
stockings are jet embroidered.
Some Of the new dress linens are
like the silk crepes with broche fig
ures.
Now there is a new furry stitch
in shadow embroidered f1ounces.
White shadow lace and black net
are used in neckwear for half mourn
ing.
Marabou stoles and muffs seem to
be as important as ever in milady's
costume.
Black soutache, braided on black
net, is one Of the new ideas for half
mourning.
Gray mocha gloves, fleece lined,
have a white fur edge, which gives
novel look.

Becoming Hat for Every Face.

The hat with it's crown towering Is
not altogether new; it has been seen
some during the late winter. 1t will
be seen more often as the spring hats
appear, says the New York Press.
This style of hat will be constructed
from straw, tulle and jet. The brim
will be straw, the crown tulle and the
band and aigrette will be Of jet. 1t
is a hat that will have many follow
ers, for most women will be glad Of
it's height-giving effect. 1t will be
becoming, for it will be shown in so
wide a variety of brim and brimless
effects that there will be a hat for
every face.

tongue, and who speak 1t in soft, pleas
ing voices. Perhaps 1t Is because the
other races have generally failed to
understand the people OF Ireland that
the inhabitants Of the land, although
cordial, assume reserve with
strangers. If, however, a tourist
boasts of a relationship with one of
their countrymen he is at once taken
into the hearts of the people, who
love to feel a fellowship with their
guests.
The traveller who selects the city
of Dublin for his sightseeing in Ire
land will never feel that he has seen
the land. Excepting the fact that one
hears there the soft, musical voices of
the people and sees at the hotels arts
tocratic old ladies often wearing long
white wells extending from the backs
of their heads to the trails OF their
dresSss In the style worn by Queen
Victoria, and excepting the fact that
one eats corned beef and cabbage
served at a good class hotel in the
middle of a very hot summer and yet
enjoys it, one would hardly realize
that he is in Erin's isle.
Happily for the tourist, st. Patrick s
land is mostly peasant Ireland. In the
rural districts one finds gems OF

Submission of the Rards-

When st. Patrick visited Ireland
A. D. 431, he found high standard Of
civilization. He met with men versed
in philosophy and competent to de-
bate with him the merits Of the old
religion which they loved and the
new one which he championed.
Though he announced his intention to
destroy their old beliefs they extend
ed to him a hospitable welcome. It
is significant that when Patrick ap-
peared before King Leoghaire and his
court at Tara the leader Of the Irish
disputants was Dubthac, chief Of the
bards. When submission was made
to the new creed it was by a tender
of his harp by the bard to the saint.
Dubthao exclaiming, Hereafter my
harp shall resound only to the praises
of Patrick's God"

Fashionable Shades.

Among the color schemes Of the mo-
ment black and white is perhaps the
most popular, while dark shade Of
bottle green comes next in favor, then
q certain shade Of dark red, almost a
dull orange in tone, brown and some
tones of blue.
Seen recently was delightful
French model that demonstrated the
use of black and white check taffetas,
with an underbodice of black ninon.
The skirt was draped as usual-in-
deed there is barely skirt to be
found in these days that has not a
slightly draped effect either at the
back or the front.

s.. Patrick's Unseifishness.

Like st, Paul, so, too, st. Patrick
seems to have practiced the New Tss-
lament injunctioni Freely have you
received, freely give" Matt. 10, s.,
for he says: Though l have baptized
so many thousand people, did I ask
a halfpenny (dimidium scriptulae)
from any one of them? Mention It
and l will give it back to you. And
when the Lord ordained clerics
through my unworthiness (modicita-
temp and ministry I gave ordinations
