VAGUE AS TO CAUSES OF WAR
Anecdotes Would Seem to Reveal
Confusion Of the Average
irish Mind.

In many districts OF Ireland there
are practically no books and almost
nobody reads newspapers. For months
there were people in Ireland who
thought England was fighting on the
same side as Germany.
Here is an Illustration OF popular
ignorance of which l have personal
knowledge.
A group of villagers were in black
smith shop. discussing the news. Ff-
nally one asked: "And how did this
bloody war begin2"
The blacksmith was the scholar OF
the gathering. You see," said he, at
was like this. The king Of the Servi-
tudes took woman OF the Morgans
to wife, and SO the Servitudes killed
them both and that is the way the
thing began"
Which. after all, is much after the
manner OF Herodotus.
Still confining myself to incidents
that l know to be true / will add
another anecdote to illustrate the way
the Irish mind takes hold OF an inter-
national situation. A man was defend
ing himself for having fought with
the British troops against the Beers.
He explained that he started to join
the Beers, but that he could not get
through the lines. SO he Joined the
British. -

CHAPTER vi.
Had They Spoiled Hsrf

Music resounded In the parlors Of
Jim Sargents house: music so sweet
and compelling in Its harmony that
Aunt Grace slipped to the head of the
stairs to listen in mingled ecstasy and
pride. Up through the hallway floated
clear. mellow soprano and q rich,
deep baritone. blended SO perfectly
that they seemed twin tones. Aunt
Grace, drawn by q fascination she
could not resist, crept down to where
she could see the source of the mel.

night In her simple dove-colored gown

piano, while towering above her. with

feet peace on his face. stood Rev.
Smith Boyd.
Enraptured. Aunt Grace stood and
listened until the close Of the ballad.
Leaflng through her music for the next
treat, Gall looked up at the young doc
tor. and made some smiling remark.
Her shining brown hair, waving about
her forehead. was caught up in q
simple knot at the back. and the deli
cate color Of her cheeks was like the
fresh glow Of dawn. Rev. Smith Boyd
bent slightly to answer. and he. too.
smiled as he spoke; but as he hap
pened to find himself gazing deep into
the brown eyes of Gail, the smile be-
gan to fade. and Aunt Grace Sargent,
scared. ran back up the stairs and into
her own room, where she took book,
and held 1t in her lap. upside down.
The remark which Gail had made was
this:

in her voice there was the quaver of
much concern.
Thank you. Aunt Helen" said Gail,

woman's intentions. and. putting her
arms around Mrs. Davies neck, she
kissed her. "It is dear of you to take

NOT ALTOGETHER SELFISH.

1T is not altogether for purely eco
nomic reasons that Industrial con-
Germs oppose drinking on the part of
their employees" says President Glib
son OF the Chicago Pressed Steel COM
pany. "The average employer is
greatly interested in the welfare of
his work-people. He wants to, see
them prosperous and happy. He also
wants to get the largest possible re-
turns in his business and there is no
conflict between these two aims.
Whatever improves the physical, men
tai and moral conditions of workmen
also increases their efficiency and so
brings in greater profits to the EN-.
ployer."
