WILLIAM OBRIEN THE STORMY PETREL OF
 IRISH NATIONALIST

One result of the war and the Ulster trouble has been to bring about an era of better feeling between the Inde- pendent Irish NationaIists the party Of William O'Brtens and the parent body led by John Redmond O'Brfen. the stormy petreI of Irish Nationa lisIa, who graduated from jail into Parlia- ment, was born in Cork sixty-two years ago today, Oct. ?, 1852. From his youth he was a devoted adherent of the Irish cause, and became one of it's ablest Journalists Internal dissen- Eions in the party some twenty years ago caused him to start a new organ fzatton. and he came the leader nf the Tuary he was returned to- Parna ament without opposition from Cork City. He had resigned because of a. a-speech by Augustine Roche, regular National iSt. who asserted that the Independ- ent chief had lost his hold on Cork. Just to prove that he hadn't, O'Brien accepted the challenge and appealed to the voters. As John Redmond hoped for a reconciliation with the Prntestants, and desired to keep in the Background any differences betw cen the two wings Of the party, the. regu- lars decided not to oppose O'Brien; and he was triumphantly returned to his seat
 William O'Brien began his career at fhe age of IT, as a reporter on the : Cork D9alF E16ra1d.s In 1875, he joined the staff of the Freenan's s Journal. and five years later he found ed United Ireland. The agitation of the Home Government association of Ireland. the Irish Land league and other bodies kep the Emerald Isle in an uproar, and many of the leaders, Including O'Brien, made the acquaint- ance of the inside of Irish jails. 5Dur- ling his career O'Brten was prosecuted no less than nine times for political offences, and spent more than two years behind the bars. In prison or out, however, he kept up ceaseIess. agita- tion with the pen.
 In 1888 he was elected to Farlia- 1nent as g Nationalist. After the failure of aG1adstone's first home rule bi11 OsBrfen published in United Ire land his famous Plan of Campaign D which had the support of the land league. It was a recommendation to Irish tenants to refuse to pay rent to landlords, but to pay officials of the league what was deemed a fair rent which would be turned over to the landowners, provided they would ac- cept 1t as payment in full If they re fused, the money was to be used for the support Of evicted tenants. The play was put into operation. but ii

CENTENARY OF THE
 CREATION OF THE
 KINGDOM OF HANOVER

Hanover which would now be a stronghold of the English King instead of Prussian Province except for the SaIdc law, was erected into Kingdom justa century ago today Oct. IF, 5.i1l1. lsI4 4. The little country which gave Great Britain its present reigning family be- came an electorate in 1892. It was just two centuries ago. in 1114. that the death of Queen Anne, the last of the Stuartss brought the Hanoverlan dynasty to England. Tn that year George, EIector of Hanover and Duke soR answ1ck-Luneburg. a son Of So- plaia- who was daughter Of Eiizabeth, daughter Of James I, crossed over to England and mounted the English throne. He continued to run Han over as an elector, and spent much of his time in the land of his birth
 Tn 1S01 Hanover was seized by Prussia and two years later 1t was occupied by the French. The Prus-. sians again took possesston on in a1805,l but Napoleon soon overran the coun- Westphalia~ On the downfall of Na- ;poleon's empire the country reverted to the English -Hanoverian house, and on Oct 2. 1s1As it became hngdona, with increassd territory. The Duke of Canabrfdge was appointed vfceroys to act for the English king, and rep rescentatfvs government vas estab- Ished.
 From that time until 1887 Great Britain and Hanover were ruled by the same sovereign. The Salic law, forbfddtng the succession of a woman to Hanovers throne. made necessary a separation of the two countries when fV1etoraa succeeded as Queen of Great Britain In S27- Hanover then became an Independent Kingdom, with Ernest, Duke of Cumberland, as monarch
 This separation was hailed with de- light by Prussia, which was alarmed by the constantly increasing power and prestige of the little country on it's border, forming a vulnerable outpost Of Eng land on the continent. Prus- sstass Jealousy of it's neighbor king dom Increased with the years, and when Prussia and Austria went to war Hanover sided with the latter. It was a fatal choice; for the PTussian army immediately fnzaded Hanover. captured the capital, &nd sent George V, the blind king into exile In 1566 the country was formally annexed as a Prussian province, and the f1de- pendent kingdom of Hanover went out Of existence. The King appealed to the powers. but in vain His success sors continued their claim to the the tnevftable. Thus began feud which was partially patched up Hast Wear, when the Kaiserss only daugh- ter became the wife Of Prince Ernest, sonsof the Duke or CuTnPerlano.
 Until the downfall of the Kingdom, Prussia and Hanoyef. lying side by side had always been bitter rivals.
 This feud.' decIared an European newspaper at the time Of the marriage of the Kaiser's daughter to the Duke of Brunswick; is largely responsible for the ever increasing coo1ness be- tween Germany and En gland, which may result in the not distant future in the oft predicted war fear equally by the two greatest fighting nations in Europe
 The war is here. but the world will be slow to believe that feud between the House of Hanover and the House

SAYS SULP LPHUR
 DRIVES ECZEMA
 FROM THE SKIN
Use like cold cream to in stantly stop itching and
 clear the skin

Sulphur, says 2, renowned dermatol- ogist, just common bold-su1p fur made into a thick cream will soothe and heal the skin when irritated and broken out with Eczema or any form of eruption. The moment it is applied all itching ceases and after two or three applica- ttons the Eczem;l disappears, leaving the skin clear and smooth.
 He tells Eczema sufferers to get from any good pharmacy an ounce of bold-suIp11ur cream and apply it to the irrftated parts the same as you would any cold cream:
 For many years common bo1d-suI- phur has occupied 9 secure position in the practice of dermatology and cutaneous affections by reason of its asite-destroying property. It is not only parasiticidal, but also antip- ruritfc. antiseptic and remarkably healing in all irritable and infiam- matory conditions of the skin. While not always effecting a. permanent cure it never fails to instantly subdue the angry itching and irritation and heal the Eczema right up and it is often years later before any eruption again appears on the skin.-Adv.
