THE DEED OF GIFT.

THE DEED OF GIFT.
Archbishop Ireland tells the follow
ing story of total abstinence pledge
that had fixed economic value:
81 was strolling on summer eve
ming along one of the streets in the
upper town of St. Paul, Minnesota. The
figure of friend of mine was seen
hammering piece of wood in front of
newly built cottage. I approached
with the salute: Well, Patrick, what
are you doing here?' Industrying,
answered he, putting some last
touches to this house of mine This
house of yours?' I replied. Have you
had the money to pay for this fine
building?' Yes, indeed, this house is
paid for and so is the next house, mine
also; one to live in, the other to be
rented to some neighbor. My wonder
grew. Why, how is this, Patrick? I
remember we'll when you had very
little money SO do + remember, re-
piled Patrick, but l have found the
money. You, Father Ireland, gave it
to me- Still more did my wonder
grow. Come inside continued Pat
rick, and in an instant, following his
quick pace, was upstairs in Patrick's
bedroom. Look here he said, this
is the deed of gift l looked. On the
wall above the bed, nicely framed, was
the document, I promise to abstain
during my lifetime from all intoxicat-
ing drinks. Signed, Patrick -. Wit
messed, John Ireland The mystery of
the two houses, the property of Pat
rick, was explained. With gladstone
hand saluted him; with warm heart
1 prayed for further success to the
cause of total abstinence"

Webs in a Plaster Suit.

Miss Mary Elizabeth Seraner came
all the way to Saline county from
Fayetteville, O., to become the bride
of Francis de Sales Schneider,
young farmer near Saline. and even
then came near losing out for delay
at least, but she was equal to the
occasion and is now Schneider's
bride, says a Saline (Kan.) dispatch
to the Kansas City Journal.
The promised delay in the nuptial
affairs of the young couple was
caused by Schneider getting into a
runaway accident and sustaining a
broken leg, fractured ribs and bruises
all over his body, and his sweetheart
found him bound in plaster of paris
casts SO tight he could not move.
The situation was discussed, the
young lady hooked up the favorite

PLAY NEVER REAL "TRIUMPH'
Sheridan Knowles Widely Known
Drama of "virginius" Is open
to Criticism.

James Sheridan Knowles, an lrisn
schoolmaster, who had also been al
actor. whose father was first cousin
to Richard Brinsley Sheridan, brought
to Macready a tragedy called VIZ
ginius," widely proclaimed as a re-
turn to truth and to nature as against
artificialities of the times.
"Virginius" is an admirable exam
pie of the ordinary bourgeois DRAMA
a bourgeois drama applied, unfortu-
nately. to Roman tragedy. Everyone
knows, of course, the story of the sol
der Virginius, who killed his daugh-
ter rather than she should fall lnto
the hands of Appius.
When Shakespeare dealt with TO
man plays he made, it is true, MS
characters Englishmen, but he MADE
them of heroic mold. Brutus ana
julius Caesar, Mark Anthony and the
rest, are certainly not commonplace
even though one can hardly describe
them as accurately drawn In accord
ance with their Latin types.
But of all the characters OF Sheri-
dan Knowles play it can safely be
said that they are just mediocre. bour-
geois, commonplace Englishmen and
Englishwomen of the times.
Virginius, for instance, is an excel
lent father of the middle class, whom
we could imagine going down to his
city office every day and returning to
the suburbs in the evening. Virginia,
the lovely heroine, Is simpering
schoolgirl virtuous idiot.

meant, 1t must be confessed that 1t
is kind of nature that we do not
want petuated.-Exchange
