THE IRISH IN THE WAR.

The pro-German Irishmen of America who have publicly prayed for the defeat of the Allies and the tri- umph of the Teutonic powers are ask ing Heaven for the destruction of half a million men of their own blood, for it is estimated that almost if not quite that number of Hibernians are now enlisted in the British forces. There are now with the co1ors about 150,000 infantrymen recruited in Ireland, and nearly 100000 soldiers of Irish birth or descent in the English and Scotch regiments. The Irish i'm the navy and with the contingents from Canada, Australia and New Zealand bring the number well up to the half million mark, in the belief of Irish leaders who have made a, close study of the suE ject. The number is constantly in creasing by voluntary enlistment, and it is the proud boast of tine Irish po- liticaI leaders that there is Irish man waiting and ready to take the place in the ranks of every son of Erin who falls. The sentiments ex- pressed by the leading papers of Ire- land, and by John Redmond and other political leaders, seem to indicate that the great masses of the people of Ire land not only do not share the views of their pro-German brethren in America, but are enthusiastically in favor of the Allied cause. Many Irishmen> resent the attitude of the Irish Americans, and John Redmond has asked them to '1eave to the Ire- land of today to decide the questions of today as she sees fit and for her
 seIf.'' intimating that this is a ques- ton of nome rule.'' It is pointed out that every man of the half million Irishnen engaged in the war is abso- luteIy a volunteer, and has enlisted without any conpu1sion whatever. The great majority of the Irish soldiers come from the cities. Comparatively few Irish farmers have enlisted. The same condition prevails in England and Scotland, however, as under the voluntary recruiting system the agri- cultural districts supplied only a frac- tioh of the enlistments.

NEW YORK RIOTS.

The first serious riot in New York occurred 204 years ago today, April 6, 1712, when the negro slaves of the city rose against the whites and started a reign of terror. The revolt was not suppressed until many people of both races had been killed. Another serious race riot occurred in New York in TAI. Aroused by fears of another slave revolt, a mob began a. general war on the blacks, and IS were burned at the stake,s and Is oth- CTS hanged. The doctors mob''t of 178S owed it's origin to the grave robbing practices of some physicians and medical students. A mob attack ed the New York hospital, and the physicians and uE1ents were removed to jail for protection. The mob then attacked the Jail, and was driven back only after a number of it's members had been killed. In 1SO6, on Christ mas Eve, a mob, Nof Protestants att tackled a Catholic church. During the first half of the last century there were many riots due to racial and re- ligious prejudices, the native Amerf- can element and the Irish and Ger man immigrants being almost con- stantly at war.

Love, Wed! May I say? And yet
 nay, nay,
 Not for Joseph, if he knows it,
 Oh, dear no, not for Joe!''
 Nine bachelors out of ten will tell you that what they don't know in their study of women isn't worth knowing. The truth is the bachelor judges all from the few he has been brought in contact with. He has laid down a set of rules for himself in his observances. To him, they seem to- have the appearance of truth as strong as Holy Writ.
 | There is little use for his friends to i try to bait him into matrimony. He is too wary fish. If he meets a live ly girl, all smiles and a dash of CO., quetry about her, he shuts the door of his heart against her, barring it fast. That girls going to turn out l treacherous wife, is his mental cal cuIathon. Shes of the kind that tan gles husbands into a divorce court l The girl who is a good conversation alist he eyes with terror. She's of the kind that will rule the roost when she marries. Her husband will be hen pecked man.
 The quiet girl he thinks will drive the man, she marries to the crazy house I by her tightly compressed lips that will show neither smile nor en- couraging word.

 The very slender girl he is certain will dwindIe into skin and bone, which he abhors.
 The girl with a doll face he is sure is fright if all her makeup were rubbed away. He would doubt any ones word she didn't paint
 The girl who likes music would make home so uncomfortable, with eternal screeching and banging on the piano that marriage would be a failure for the most patient man in the world
 And as for genius-oh, dear no! Not for Joe! She'd insist on wearing her husbands coat, boots and all. The girl who is all force of character would place her husband at the foot of his dining table
 What about an actress2 We'll he declares laconica1ly. they are too fond of beauty posing and exciting the ad- miration of the world of men. The shop girl is nice, but she's too inde- pendent. Having had the taste of making her own money, she'd put up with no nonsense if a man proved a laggard in paying the bills for her support. So it goes down through all the list He looks for their faults, picking flaws. but he does not look for the virtues of each any every one which more than balance in the right direction The only way a man can study the subject of woman is at close range-by marrying. Even at that, he may live half lifetime and find new and charming traits about her he never dreamed she possessed What man really does not know about wo- men would fill Volumes. Of the guesses he has made concerning them his ar rows have struck wide of the mark. Bachelors should not discourage Gu pid.

 TODAY'S POEM
HE IS NOT GROWING OLD
.~~~%

He is not growing old,
 Although his locks are gray. If on his brow no clouds
 Are seen the long, long day; Nor is he ever lost
 To bIandishments of art, While he gives evidence
 Of summer in the heart. He is growing old,
 Though Time has plowed his face With furrows here and there.
 Devoid of comedy grace, If laughter rippIes still Along the unseen nerve, And make the wrinkles glow
 With beauty's radiant curve. He is-not growing old,
 Though at a,Ss1oweri gait He passes to and fro,
 With countenance sedate, If with a statelier tread
 He marches to the tomb; He knows this is the door To his eternal home. He is not growing old
 The righteous never die; He only is transformed, As worm to butterfly; T The fleshy robe decays, Returns to common sod; The spirit finds delight
 In ministries of God. M. Cavaness, in Kansas City Journal

 Walking outside, he protects them from passers-by. It is very wise for girls of your young age to be pleasant, yet spend no time on boys. It is not good manners to chat about youths in presence of their friends.
