When he fell the eighth member of
his family had become victim of the
British ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, all OF

When the shots that brought
Plunkett's death were fired two of his
brothers, John and George Plunkett,
were in prison awaiting trial. They
took part in the recent uprising and
thew, too, were sentenced to death on
charges of treason, but his sentence
was later committed to ten years i'm

on the charge of treason-a whole

The deeds of the Plunketts cover
many pages of Irish history. No doubt
as the bride and bridegroom sat in
the cell following the wedding cere-
mony they talked of this history
history which in one sense has no
parallel in the annals of any other
nation in the world. Joseph Plunkett

to the Irish cause Plunkett loved

he suggested. at is probably the

He gave directions, and in due
course we went to where the re-

makes his home. 1t is a picturesque
chalet in an old grove left to encour-

Kuertz, like every other country

fences of course must have posts:

Tyburn prison by a multitude of peo-
pie crying and pouring blessings on
his head. From the scaffold he spoke
of his love for his people. Then he
died with a smile on his lips.
The Catholic church has paid the
memory of the archbishop all rever-
ence. His head is now enshrined in
the care of the Dominican nuns at
their Siena Convent at Drogheda,
Ireland. He has been declared VEN
cradle by that church, and his name
has been submitted for canonization.
A short time after the execution
of the archbishop his uncle, Lord
Oliver Plunkett, was arrested on the
same charge. His execution created
almost as great sensation as that
of his nephew. These two men be-
came at once great heroes of Erin.
They were the forerunners Of six
other martys from the same family.
There has not been an uprising of
any Importance in Ireland in the last
hundred years-that is to say, pa
triotic uprising-in which Plunkett
has not participated. There were
five of them accused of having taken
part in this last uprising.
The Plunketts constitute one of
the greatest Catholic families of the
world. Count Plunkett, the father of
Joseph, received the title of Count
from Pope Leo XIII for his activities
in behalf of the Catholic religion. A
cousin of Joseph Plunkett was made
knight by the same pope. He was
Sir Joseph Higgins Shearon, who
now lives in Rome.
There are two cousins of Joseph
Plunkett living in this country, Jos
H. Plunkett and Mrs. Bernard l.
Broadbent of Baltimore. Sister Ma
ry Joseph, one of the best known
members of the Order of Sisters OF
Charity in this country, is a cousin
He had two cousins members of the
Visitation Order and two aunts mem
bers of the Order of Sisters of Char
ity. The late Rev. Joseph Plunket
of Portsmouth, Va, was an uncle.

Leprosy is spreading over the
United States so rapidly as to threat
en- to become national evil, said
United States senator Ransdall, of
Louisiana, in a recent address. He
is working for national leper hos
pital as the only way to stop such
threat from becoming reality.
He said that the bill for the estab-
lishment of such an institution pass
ed the house, and that he had strong
hopes of it's passage in the senate.
He declared that there are 7,000,-
900 lepers in the world, and that no
one can ascertain how many there are
in this country.
"You may think you are secure
against this menace" he said, "but I
tell you you are not secure. Any
one Of us is liable to contract it, and
it must be guarded against"

CHINA KEEPS RICH
POT OF ANTHONY
METAL REACHES RECORD PRICE
BECAUSE OF IT'S VALUE IN
MAKING WAR MUNITIONS.

TIANKOW, China.-Antimony has
reached a record price because of the
great need for metal in making NUM-
tions of war, and Chinese, who were
far-sighted enough to corner the an
timony output, have reaped fort
une.
The refined metal has been sold in
London for over $500 gold per ton
at times since the opening of the war.
Previous to hostilities the London
price was about 1928.
Human province, which lies south
of Hankow, is the chief anthony pro-
ducing section of the world. The ore
from which the metal is obtained is
blasted there from the hilltops, and
reaches Hankow on rivers which
drain into the Yangste. The chief
producer of the refined ore is the Hua
Chang Company of Changsha. Crang-
sha is an important commercial cen
ter on the Sias river, south of Han
kow. Before the war the output of
the Huang Chang Company's refin-
cry average a little more than two
hundred tons a month. The plant
has now been extended, and the COM
pany has opened offices in New York.
Several plants have now been es-
tablished in Hankow for refining the
ore, and this city is probably supply
ing 80 per cent of the anthony used
by the munition workers. The metal
is necessary in the manufacture of
shells, as it makes the steel more
brittle and causes the shell to be
much more deadly by breaking into
smaller pieces when it explodes. An
timony is also required in making
armor plate for warships.
Producers of the crude ore have
enjoyed only a slight increase in the
price of their product. Middlemen,
who were able to corner the output
and were far-seeing enough to appre-
ciate how the prices would rise, have
reaped most of the profit.
Practically all of the leaders in
the movement to corner the market
were Chinese and Japanese.

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FOR SEIZED MEAT CARGOES

1t is not commonly known exactly
how much Great Britain paid the
American packers for cargoes that
the British warships seized and that
Britain appropriated. But it is guess
ed that from $15,00O,000 to $780,
100000 was the price agreed upon.

BAPTISTS WILL PUSH
THEIR WORK FOR MISSIONS

Urged That They Leave More Money
to Church in Their Wills.
ASHEVILLE.-The Southern Bap-
fists, in convention here, decided to
spend eight hundred thousand dollars
for foreign missions and six hundred
thousand dollars for home missions
next year, and went on record as ia
voring national prohibition. The
convention urged that every effort be
made to raise the ninety thousand
dollars needed for the foreign mis-
sion debt.
Discussion of the missions reports
brought a plea that the Baptists
leave more to the church in their
wills. 1t stated that the Methodists
leave more money to their church
when they die than do the Baptists.

HOW FEATHERED SONGSTERS
THAT HELP DESTROY PESTS
ARE BEING ENCOURAGED.

Had he not been in other respects
sucb an intelligent and thoroughly
rational fellow you might have be-
lieved him an escaped patient from
some asylum. He stood at the edge
of the country high road leading
through the Mill creek valley, OF
Southern Ohio, to Cincinnati, staring
off into sapce apparently, for, so far
as we could see, there was nothing
visible to attract attention but two
wild birds, black birds of some sort,
winging across the blue spring skies
winging across the blue spring skies,
writes Felix J. Koch in the Saturday
Globe.
The sight of the man studying
space as it seemed then making nota-
tions in his book was so pathetically
ludicrous that Rosa brought the au-
to to an abrupt halt, pretended he'd
heard a knock in the engine, and in
asking the stranger if he knew any
thing of motors and such like found
the opportunity of opening converse
ton and incidentally asking the 9TH
er what he was about.
Evidently that other man had been
asked that same thing many times
over and he knew just how to reply
and further mystify.
Gust been counting the birds here
abouts," he answered, "meadowlarks
and orioles and sparrows and the
like. There's lot of them this year,
and it's interesting to see how near
the wild birds will come to the town
itself"
Then he reached for his pad, put
one mark against the orioles and two
marks against the cardinal as a pair
of red birds came in evidence in the
shrubbery, and seeing us still inter
ested went on:
II guess, like most folks, you don't
quite understand. AS matter of fact,
/ am taking a part of the great ma
tional bird census, which Uncle Sam
has in compilation now and which, in
cidentally, had its start with Local
Game Warden Kuertz not long ago.
Naturally no one can hazard to say
that in a given township or county
there are so-an-so many robins,
chickadees, wrens, but the way the
thing is done is this:
eve go to farmers at sufficient
distances from each other and ask
them if they have noticed any blue
birds around their place this year. If
so, and if they only saw some pass
ers once, you can rest assured they'll
have remembered the lovely picture.
Had they seen the birds since? Often
enough to believe them nest near?
If so, again you may be sure, they'll
know, for all the world loves wild
birds. If so we may count pair of
bluebirds for that locality. Possibly
they may go on to say there were
two pairs seen together, or tell us
there's a nest with little ones yonder,
which swells the bluebird population
again, in the open country sides,
often we do our own noting and
counting. In the bit Of haw-clump
where you found me I discovered
some wild canaries have their nest.
Two adult birds and then young ones.
The blackbirds flying by can see
we're steering for their own nest. Two
blackbirds at least in this section you
see."
The Practical Side of 1t.

to his subject.
