w eight? Who bushes at the
name?
When towards mock the patriots
fate, who hangs his head for
shame?
He's all a knave or half a slave, who
Sights his country thus;
But a true man, like you, man, will
fill your glass with us.
We drink the memory Of the brave,
the faithful and the few
Some lie faroff beyond the wave
some sleep in Ireland too;
All, all are gone-but still lives on
the fame of those who died
All true men, like you, men, remem-
Der them with pride.
The dust Of some is Irish earth /;
among their own they rest;
And the same land that gave them
birth has caught them to her
breast.
And we will pray that from their
clay full many a race may start
Of true men, like you, men, to act
as brave a part.
They rose in dark and evil days to
right their native land;
They kindled here a living blaze that
nothing shall Withstand.
Alas, that might can vanquish right
they fell and passed away!
But true men, like you, men, r
plenty here today.
Then here's their memo-y-may it
be for us a guiding light,
To cheer our strife for liberty and
teach us to unite.
Through good and i'll, be Ireland's
still, though sad as theirs your
fate;
And true men, be you, men, like
those Of Ninety-eight!

SHARK KILLS 2
JERSEY BATRERS
STANLEY FISHER, TO BOYS RES
CUE, HAS LOSING BATTLE
.A WITH MANEATER.

Manhattan, ~ j., July 12.-Lester
Stillwell, IL years old. was killed by
a man-eating shark while bathing in
an arm of Raritan Bay near here this
afternoon. Stanley Fisher, "a years
old, who went to his aid, was so bad.
ly injured in struggle with the sea
monster that he died while being TAX.
en- 10 a Long Branch hospital. Joseph
Dunn, IL years old, bathing some
distance away, in the same inlet, was
attacked by a shark and one of his
legs was so lacerated It probably will
have to be amputated.
This is the third time within two
weeks that sharks have claimed the
lives of bathers along the New Jer'
sey coast. Charles Z. Van SAINT, a
youth of Philadelphia, was killed by
one off Beachhaven, N. j., on July 2
Charles Bruder, of Springlake, N. j..
was attacked and both legs taken of
by q shark on July 6. He died while
men who went to his rescue were car
rying him ashore.
A dozen or more boys, who also
were bathing in the inlet, heard Still
wells screams for help. Fisher, who
was standing on the bank, went to
the rescue. He had gone only few
feet when the shark attacked him,
tearing a piece out of one thigh.
In spite of his wound Fisher
caught the boy up in his arms and
had started for shore when the shark
renewed the attack. Burdened as
he was, Fisher was helpless and the
shark snapped off his leg. Fisher
released his hold on Stillwell and
himself sank beneath the surface,
unconscious.
Needless of the danger another boy
sprapg into the inlet and dragged
Fisher out. No trace of young Still
well was found and it is believed he
was devoured by the shark.
The Dunn boy, according to per-
soDs who were standing on the bank
of the inlet, also was attacked soon
after going into the water, an elder
brother and another boy went to his
rescue. They succeeded In driving
off the shark, but not until after the
younger Dunn's leg had been torn al
most to shreds from the knee down.
He is expected to recover.

FARMERS PROFIT FROM WAR
ORDERS,

eve are all glad the farmers are
prosperous, and especially those of US
from Agricultural States. but the
truth is that our sale of wheat 10 Eu-
rope during the first year of the war
compared with the first year of the
present tariff law in time of peace in
creased from $103,595,000 worth to
1916, 1862, 900 worth gain of 205 per
cent. Our wheat is used to feed the
armies of Europe. But what was
wheat worth in this country at the
beginning of the war? To show the
'ect that the war has had upon our
prosperity let US take for comparison
the year from September, 1913, to
September, 1914, the year Of peace
and the first year of the Underwood
law, and compare it with September,
1914. to September, 1915, the year of
war and the second year of the I'm
derwood law.
During the year of peace we sold
in breadstuffs to Europe S1S1 ,484,000
worth. In the year of war We sold
1857 ,607, 900, gain of 213 per cent.
an the year of peace we sold to
Europe horses to the value of S3,177,-
600. In the year of war we sold them
horses to the value of $82,276,00O, a
gain of 2,490 per cent.
an the year of peace We sold to
Europe mules to the value of 1922, 900.
In the year of war we sold them
mules to the value of $1S,041 900, a
gain of 2,795 per cent.
During the year of peace we sold
to Europe hay to the value of $780,
600. During the year of war We sold
to Europe hay to the value Of 50, 263,-
600, a gain of 233 per cent.
During the year of peace We sold
to Europe meats and dairy products
to the value of Sl3S, 900. During
the year of war we sold them meats
and dairy products to the value of
$243, 09S, 600, gain of IS per cent.
During the year of peace we sold
to Europe sugar to the value of 3d.
BAL, 600. During the year of war we
sold to Europe sugar to the value of
$36,816,000, a gain of 74S per cent.
"Why should not the farmer of this
country be prosperous when he is
feeding the greatest armies that this
world has ever seen?
