GRANT COUNTY MAN
HEADS BREEDERS ASSN
Parke Gelbach President of
Aberdeen-Augus Organization
He's Grandson of Pioneer Breeder of
These Splendid Beef Cattle
Brought up to the Business.

At it's annual meeting. held in
Madison last week, the Wisconsin
association of breeders OF Aberdeen
Angus cattle electe7 Park Gelbach,
of Hurricane vicinity, to the respon-
sible position of president of the
state organization. Since it's incep-
ton this organization has had in it's
membership one or more of the
members of the family of Gelbach,
now the active member of the fam
lily heads the association.
On his farm couple of miles
east of Hurricane Mr.. Gelbach has
right now 81 head of standard and
registered Aberdeen Angus cattle
of one sort or another. This herd
does not produce milk, it is there
for another purpose. It is supposed
to grow calves so perfect as indivi-
dnals that they will find ready
market among those who breed
high grade beef stock.
Of the COWS Of that herd not
one is ever MIXED by any thing but
her own offspring. To grow CALVES
quickly and smoothly is glory
enough for those COWS. They are
not worrying themselves about
milk tests, nor milk records. They
are raising progenitors of baby beef
critters, and they seem content
with their Jobs.
Philip Roescb, grandfather of
Parke Gelbach, was the pioneer
breeder of Aberdeen Angus stock in
this vicinity. He started in near
Potosi, 20 years ago, or more.
Then William Gelbach, father of
Parke, took to this premier beef
stock. The president of the state
organization has had good training
in the business. He knows how to
turn the trick.

Miss Seaman s book. Lady Gregory,
the rigid, commanding figure in this
literary and dramatic Irish revival,
brought out her splendid drama on
the same subject. That she should
have chosen the strongest characters
in Irish history and fable for portrayal
on the stage is perfectly consistent
with her career as a creator and re-
vivalist. Even if Miss Scanlan 8
book had penetrated the seclusion of
Coole, the country estate and home of
Lady Gregory in County Galway, it
could have operated only as an incen-
tive, -inspiration-to the gifted
author of Goods and Fighting Men, :"
Whatever estimate may be placed
on this splendid piece of work. it
must be granted that in writing it
Miss Scaulan was working virgin soil.
Others in large numbers have since
written along similar lines, but she
was indeed a pioneer. Her place as
one of the creators of the Irish liter
airy renaissance seems to be secure,
even if she shall be deniend the lead
ership.
Besides this story, Miss Seaman
wrote many poems of real merit. In
writing humorous verse she was
particularly gifted. There was in
her lines a. mild. gentle satire that
could not offend the most self -centered
person. Of these verses there are
more than 100 pages. and they are
we'll worth the reading. But as a
writer of historical fiction, as por-
trayer of Irish life in the heroic age,
Miss Scanlan will be longest known.
Her contribution to Irish folk-l lore is
both substantial and artistic.
AS this item goes to press. there is
playing in Chicago company of
Irish players, giving Irish dramas ex
clusively. These actors come from
the National Irish Theatre in Dublin,
and they are contributing all they
may to this literary renaissance by
presenting Irish plays to the world.
These plays not alone portray Irish
life, but they are written and acted
by Irish persons.
But Miss Seaman was as genuinely
Irish as any of them Her father and
mother were both born on the old sod.

about the affair in the garden.
 As the Coach bearing the Austrian grand duke and his daughter wound dcwn through the beautiful foothills ot Baratevia which ring Litchberg. the ancient capital of Walsach. 1t was met by an imposing cavelcade of civil and military officers coming to bid the bride welcome to her new land. Loud and long were the cheers of the peasants as the coach and it's es- cert traversed the plain outside the city. and louder still were the cheers of the good burgers of Lltchberg. when tho procession passed through its an |. clent streets.
 The Walsachians loved their king, and were prepared to welcome and lovc his queen. To this end the great square in front of the royal palace was filled with loyal subjects. Nhe travelling coach entered the royal grounds by a rear gate and the grand duke and his suite were ushered into the palace by a private entrance.
 The prime minister met the royal travellers and conducted them to the dc or of q small reception room off the great main hall. Drawing the heavy pcrtiere to one side. Von Stefitz mo- tioned the grand duchess to enter the while he gently drew her father back. As Helena entered the room a young nan sprang up from a deep chair in which he had been lounging and bow ed low before the intruder Then he looked up and met the startled gaze of the girl.
 You, you here" Helena excla imed
 "At your highness sGfvice." the man answered. again lowing.
 Helena reached one hand toward the carved oaken table for support Iris sorry jest Captain Mi2ner, eff 'tis done as q jest. The hand of a princess must be given at the will of the state, hut her heart is her own. Therefore it is not meet that her part should be made harder by such tricks as this. pray you to withdraw. sir"
 "one moment. your highness." said the man, 'I am here at the desire if King Victor. Outside great con course of the nlobles and people of Walsach are gathered to do honor to their new queen. I am commanded to lead you. forth that they may give you Il cir loyal welcome"
 As he spoke Von Mizncr took the girls hand in his and led her toward one of the long windows that gave on to q balcony on the front of tho palace. Throwing this open he stepped put and Helena perforce followed him.
 Immediately d great cheer arose from the multitude gathered in front O the palace.
 Long live King Victor" shouted the good burghers of Litchberg, "and long live queen Helena" they shouted again and again
 4 great light of surprise and under standing sprang into the eyes of the grand duchess. You" she murmured. you, the king?"
 And Victor answered her: Forgive me dear, but the Count Non AIizner and Victor of Walsach are one and the same"
 For a full moment she looked into his eyes to read the truth Then be- fore he could prevent it the grand duchess of Austria dropped on one

Continued from Yesterday.

All of this happened very long aeo before Europe was gridironed with q network of railroads.
 Thus Is was that when the grand duke and his daughter set out for Litchberg, the capital of Walsaeh where the nuptials of King Victor and the grand duchess Helena we're to be celebrated. they traveled/in a state coach and were accompanied by an escort of the imperial body guard as befitted their exalted rank
 It was a very wan and sad grand duchess that huddled in the corner of the great coach as 1t numbered over the plains of her native land and wo1nd up into the foothills and moun- ,fans beyond which lay her future queendom.
 Helena knew had always known that some day she would he given in marriage to some exalted parsonage for reasons of state. Traditions and customs amongst royalty demanded that the heart give place to political consideration in matrimonial affairs. She had been schooled for years to the end that she should make an alliance beneficial to the imperial throne. Therefore when she was informed that her marriage had been arranged, that she was betrothed to the young king Uf Walsach she accepted the condition a she had accepted all of her training at court, much as the fulhllment of anything else and if she had ever lEdulged in dreams of love they had been merely speculative. She some times wondered about 1t as she won dered how it would feel to paddle bare foot in the gutters as she had been beggar children in the stree's of Vien- na She never expected to paddle in the gutters, nor did she expect to choose her own mate.
 Then had come the embassy from he King of Wals9ch and with it the the young count van Mzner tall. handsome and full of life, The am bassadors suite had been housed in the imperial palace while the ncgotia tions had been in progress.
 It was during this ceremonial visit that the grand duchess discovered that she had a heart. Also after she had made this discovery the young of cer from Walsaoh had not allowed her to forget it. Quite braZenly and with utter disregard of the rigorous pIoprieties of the imperial court and the rights of the King of Walsach, he had taken every opportunity to make love to the beautiful daughter of the house of Hapsburg. The result was obvious and the scene in the summer he use of the imperial garden was the continuation of q very pretty little romance.
 Helena was thinking of this last interview as the coach iolted along over the highway How brave he was and how handsome Also slie wonder cd at the silence of the guard officer. 1t had been rumored about the palace that an officer of the guard had been wounded in a duel, but such affairs were of common occurrence. SO the fact caused little comment. She had evident that Count Muller, for some reason, had not reported the truth
