NO IRISH IN THE HOUSE.

wv 6uSOo6s
During the debate on the Philip.
pine bill in the House of Representa-
tives, Gallivan and Rainey had a
lively tilt when a reference was made
to the present Irish insurrection. Mr..
Gallivan said that he was an Irish
man, but he did not believe in inject
ing racial and religious questions into
congress. He declared that If these
questions continued to be raised, in.
stead of the present twenty odd
Democratic majority in the House,
there would be majority of $50 Re.
publicans in the next congress.
There are no Irish in this House, u
he added, 1--WE are all American citi.
zens."

Just what Is happening every day:
a gathering cloud on a sunny way,
All the fault OF careless word,
Lightly spoken and dumbly heard;
Feathered shaft with fatal art.
Winging its path 10 tender heart.
Little It matters which was wrong
If the dlscord drop IN the tuneful song.
Little it matters which was rightN
If the shadow blot the household light
When both are hasty. and each is proud
Both are TO blame for the passing cloud
Then let II pass. IT'S the wiser way
To kiss and be friends, nor mar the day
with the evil blight Of bootless strife
To stain the spirit and dim the life.
Let the lips that breathed and the ears
that heard
Take heed heneeforth of the thoughtless

victory, Mack has made some tangible
progress. Ina Witt he has a chap who
looks like the coming infcldcr of the
American league. Elmer Myers has
already arrived. He won many games
at the start and would have COPIED
more had his support not failed him
\ freak injury to his pitching hand has
been q handicap to Majors. Mack feeds
sur" that Lawry will come through
Miucrliug. King. Carroll. Launing and
Rowe are other possibilities
The Athletics probably win bc i'm last
place in October, but they may look 4
whole lot better than they do now.
