arms, foods, matches-with only
his bare hands and his wits and

BLOODSHED IN
HOME RULE
STRUGGLE

DUBLIN, July 27.-Three men
and one woman were killed and
more than 90 persons wounded IN
u clash between a battalion OF
the Kings Own Scottish border
ers and q mob consisting chiefly
of nationalist volunteers ON the
streets OF Dublin yesterday after
noon. The battle was the result
of an attempt of the bOrderers
TO seize a quantity OF arms that
were landed Saturday night at
Howth, nine miles from Dublin,
from q private yacht.
A battalion of the Kings Own
Scottish Borderers was ordered
to capture the arms when the au-
thorities heard the volunteers
we're bringing them into the city.
The soldiers encountered a de-
tachment of volunteers at Clon-
melle bridge and an outbreak re-
suited, but there was no shoot
ing.
Soon a great crowd collected
and followed the troops, jeering
them and cheering for John Red
home rule. Finally the mob be-
gan throwing bottles and stones,
injuring several soldiers.
To this attack the battalion
replied with a scattered fusil-
lade. In an instant the street was
crowded with wounded, while
terrified men, women and chill
dren ran in all directions.

answer to my questioning was this
reply: I'VE have always done this, our
ancestors always did it. We like the
fie d work, and our men like the
house" True enough, when l went
down to the village / found the big
sturdy men calmly smoking their pipes
as they busted themselves with the
babies or cooking dinner.
So many tourists have gone to Cham
perry in recent years that the village
elders have passed law that no woma n
Ehall wear her trousers in the village
streets: ther efore. the women hide their
Ckirts by the roadside when they go out
into the fields. and don them again on
their way back. They seem to like the
work in the open, singing as they pile
the hay. or knitting as they tend the
sheep and goats. But il is curious
thing that wearing trousers does not
cause them TO discard any of the mo-
tons that are peculiarly feminine whe!u
they climb fence. Instead of vauIting
over the fence. or stepping over. they
invariably climb to tn top rail and
SIC down woman fashion.
From ear lest childhood these women
OF Champery are accUs' omed to the
wearing Of trousers. and they do not
even discard them upon their wedding
day, AS / was fortunate enough to sec.
Coming down the road was n bridal pro-
cessiOn. and / could not at a distanc..
tell which was the bride and which was

Tommy. I'VE may be able to do

pious gravity of her pretty eyes, It's

because she means IL. or because it's
vastly becoming. A man once told
me that a woman with a sanity ex-

that her features lend themselves to
a beautiful austerity of expression,

Feminine Gender

The feminine gender of boats and

dition. People say of the Columbus
that she will sail on a certain date.
and it follows that they may speak of
her" as the fleets ''giantess.' The
gender is fixed in peoples minds. not by
the name Of the ship. bat by the fact
that it is a ship, and conversation

Washington, the Bismarck, the Column
bus, the Kaiser, Wilhelm ii, and all the
others as she" exactly as in the case
of the Princess Irene, .Kaiserin Au-
guste Victoria, and La France. The
matter. however. is one of usage, and
1t is open TO any individual to drop the
tradition of the ships gender. and speak
of a boat-be its name masculine, fem
mime. or neuter-as simply lit"
In any case. II is proper to speak of
the Columbus as the giant of the
fleet, or of any other boat. that re-
mains in the feminine gender, in just
the same way. The addition of the
suffix esq TO give actual feminine
form to the noun itself is not necessary
