FAMOUS OLD BLARNEY
Historic Spot, Long Famed In Song
and Story, 10 One Of the GlorIes
Of ireland.


IN THE year 1446 an Irish bishop
! his face SCARED with many wounds
climbed to the keep of his castle.
and. hanging over the side. kissed a
stone in the wall about five feet from
the top. This was Cormack MacCar-
thy, and the castle was Blarney castle,
his military stronghold. For in those
days bishop had to be good fighter
besides being a good churchman. The
stone that MacCarthy kissed is now
called the "Blarney Stone"
Cormack MacCarthy built Castle
Blarney In County Cork. One day. a
little while after he had finished 1t, he
was walking along when he happened
to see an old woman drowning in a
stream. Being both courteous and
q brave man. he Immediately plunged
in, and after many struggles rescued
her. The old woman blessed her res
cuer and promised that. for reward.
she would bestow upon him tongue
of such eloquence that he could infiu-
ence friends and enemies.
But there was only one way to OBJ
tain this gift. He must climb to the
top of his castle and kiss stone in
the wall there. MacCarthy followed

TRACTS CLEARED OF MALARIA
Gratifying Progress Has Been Made
by Those Interested In Conquer
Ing the Disease.

Malaria, to which children are sus-
ceptible, has been made largely pre-
ventable disease by study of the
mosquito carrier. its breeding places
and natural history, and by inocula-
tion experiments on animals and man.
1t was proved by Italian observers
that the mosquito disseminates bird
malaria in the same manner as in the
human subject
The final upshot of these investiga-
tions has been that large tracts of
hitherto waste and dangerous land
have been rendered safe and produc-
tive. A widespread cause of debilitat-
ing sickness, and even of death, has
thus been removed.
In such areas the saddest sight has
been the stunted, anemic children,
with enlarged livers and spleens, the
evidences of chronic malarial poison
ing, that can now be obviated by put
ting modern knowledge into effect.

BROUGHT ALL INTO COURT
Indictments Too Hastily Issued Caused
Some commotion When Inter
ested Ones Appeared.

The Green Bag reports the recent ef-
fort of Judge Wallace Of the Kansas
City criminal court to enforce rigidly
the Sunday blue laws. He had or
dered the indictment and arrest of all
keepers of shops, stores and parks, as
well as all actors and other perform
ers. One of the places Of amusement
was hippodrome of wild animals.
and in it's zeal the grand jury had in
dicted a number of actors at this place
on information furnished by witnesses
employed there. Warrants were issued
and the marshal was directed to bring
the indicted ones before the bar
Call Mary Garden" said the judge.
Mary Garden!" yelled the deputy
marshal.
There was an appreciable delay, and
then suddenly the door opened and
into the crowded court room came two
men dragging, at the end of powerful
chains, an angry lioness, who ex-
pressed her disapproval of the situa-
ton by emitting a deafening roar.
When the stampede was stopped and
order restored the overenthusiastic
Judge found that he had caused the

animals. including lions, tigers, leop-
ards, hyenas, dogs, cats and pigs, all

AMERICAS DEBT TO IRELAND
Immigrants Have Wrought Well in the
Wonderful Development Of Their
Adopted Land.

Out of Europe, for more than two
centuries there have been flowing
streams of humanity, always hasten
ing, like the affluents of some mighty
river, toward the west. And for more
than one century at least those who
earliest found their place in this once
welcoming continent have been star
ing with open or covert contempt at
those who have followed them.
Until now, when our national intelli-
gence has broadened beyond the pur-
blind. narrow vision that could see in
an immigrant only his ignorance, his
poverty and the uncouthness which, in
the land he has deserted. may be the
best, approved mode of living for peo-
pie of his class.
We are looking at the essentials now
at the brain and the Drawn, the
health and the courage; at the race,
the national history, the adaptiveness
of all this raw material for citizenry.
These latest comers are reaping the
fruits of the lessons we have learned
while seeing their forerunners emerge
from the poverty and want that made
them reproaches in our eyes and. by
their own inherent strength. rise to the
full level of American skill, energy and
what has always been their conspi-
cuous trait-patriotism.
No single stream that trickled first
and then came in flood had to fight its
way more hardly here than the immi-
grants who hailed from Ireland; ana

the development of the nation, he

their adoption-more respected than

The United States, for them, owes
England a debt which neither nation

directions and Immediately obtained
slch eloquence that he delayed for a
long time by persuasion and promise
the surrender of the castle to the lord
president 1t is said that even to this
day whoever climbs to the top Of the
castle and kisses the stone will re-
ceive the gift of golden speech.
Many people now go to kiss the
Blarney stone. One time a young
American visited Castle Blarney, and
was very enthusiastic about kissing
the stone. He leaned over the square
opening; but just then he got a look
at the ground. 120 feet below. He
suddenly decided that this business of
kissing the Barney stone was only a
silly superstition. and was not worth
the trouble anyway.
One of the legends that cling about
the ruins of Blarney is that in the
pastures near the castle ghostly cattle
fight at night with the present posses
sors of the fields. It is also reported
that in the summer fairies dance on
the grass all night.
Castle Blarney's fame has been in
creased by Richard Mileikin's song.
+The Groves Of Blarney," written in
1898. Francis s. Mahoney, known as
Father Prout, added the following
lines, which have carried the legend
OF the Blarney stone around the
world:
There is a stone there,
That whoever kisses,
Oh! he never misses
To grow eloquent.
'Tis he may Chamber
To a lady's chamber
Or become a member
OF sweet Parliament
A clever spouter
He'll sure turn out, or
An out and outer.
To be let alone
Don't hope to hinder him,
Or to bewilder him.
Sure he's pilgrim.

ZION NOTES.

On Sunday morning, Sept. 18th, Rev.
4. ID. w. Jones preached to an audience
of intellectual listeners from st. Luke,
XXX, 1892: "Satan hath desired to
have thee, that he may sift thee as
wheat: but | have prayed tor thee that
thy strength fail not" A mastery
discussion revealed the insidious work
ings OF the forces or evil in nature in
an effort to undermine and destroy the
good. In the evening, the inspiration
was taken from the beatific Sermon on
the Mount" Let your light SO shine
before men," In this the preacher gave
forth the philosophy Of religion as not
depending on fixed rituals nor creeds,
but as the personal revelation OF the
individual acquaintanceship and har'
mony with the will Of God-this in
effect being almost glimmer from the

None OF the two and seventy sects
