Struck by Work Train

Last Friday morning as the
work train was returning from
the Dynamite plant at Barks-
dale 1t hit an unknown man near
the Oscar farm, injuring him so
badly that he died at the St.
Joseph hospital at Ashland last
Friday afternoon.
Engineer Harrington who was
in charge of the work train,
noticed a black object along side
Of the track but he thought it
was pile Of snow or ice and it
was not until after the man had
been hit by the engine that it
was discovered that the object
was a man. The train was
stopped as soon as possible and
the man was loaded unto the
train and brought to this city
where he was given temporary
medical attention, being taken
to the hospital at Ashland on
the $50 train.
Upon arriving at the hospital
it was discovered that the man g
skull had been badly fractured
and he was otherwise injured
He died the same day.
All efforts to identify the body
have this far failed. There was
nothing about the man by which

AuLp IRELAND. MY HOME.


THERE'S a ship that rides at anchor in
a harbor by the sea.
Where the restless waves are dancing all
the day.
And seem to hear her calling. while she's
reckoning to me.
"Oh, I'm going back to Erin: come
away!
So methinks that I'll be going with the
setting of the sun,
When she turns her prov again across
the foam,
For my pilgrim days are over. and my
race is nearly run.
And I'm longing for ouid Ireland. my
home
Oh, a love tins land u freedom" and
- I'll always point with pride
To her bonny flag that floats so brave
and free.
And to save her as a nation somel loved
have fought and died
And are up in heaven now awaiting me.
And my heart is filled with sadness when
/ think we'll have to part,
For | thought no more my weary feet
should roam,
But l cannot still the longing that is ever
in my heart.
So I'm going back to ireland. my home!
ON the green banks of Killarney would
~ lay me down to rest.
Near the humble little cot where was
born,
Where the modest yellow primrose lifts
aloft her smiling crest,
And the snowy bloom is resting on the
thorn.
For I'm sure I'll sleep the sweeter when
I'm laid beneath the sod
II know the little shamrock smiles
above
And bear upon my bosom when ! go to
meet my God
That blessed little emblem Of his love.

Saiutinu the Anthem,

When began the custom for individ-
uals and audiences to be standing when
the "Star Spangled Banner" was sung
or played?
1t is fair question. It was adopted
by the army and navy long ago. but
the army and navy did not originate
the very appropriate and patriotic Gus
tom.
Many years ago when Jenny Lind,
one Of the sweetest singers the wOgld
ever produced, was the chief attrac-
tion at Boston concert Daniel Web
ster, the great senator, secretary of
state and patriot. was present.
Jenny Lind sang the "Star Spangled
Banner" as only that song bird could
sing it. The audience called her back
several times, and she sang verse Of
our present national anthem. Each
time one man stood up and at the
close gracefully bowed to the singer.
That was Daniel Webster. 1t was a
good example to set, a needed custom
to establish, and one that has been an
important factor In impressing patri-
otto lessons Milwaukee Sentinel
