Joe Benz's Dialect
From County Mayo

Joe Benz, the eminent Irish
pitcher of the White Sox,
gained undying fame when he
made three hits for himself in

to give the secret of his success
as hitter. Here is what he
modestly said in his quaint
Irish dialect:

A Birthday Dinner.

Mir. Editor:-I take great pleasure in writing an article for your paper.
 It was my happy lot to visit the home of my grandparents, Mir. and Mrs. Samuel Turner, on March 19, 1916. Grandpa cele- brated his 74th birthday. He seems to enjoy life to the great est extent. A bountiful dinner was enjoyed by all, or they all seemed to enjoy themselves at the table. 150 people paid res pect to dear old grandpa.
 Grandpa took part with the young folks in the amusements of the day, Most of the crowd stayed till a late hour, then all returned t O their homes with happy hearts, not regretting once the ending day.
 That Grandpa may enjoy many more birthdays as well as he did his 74th. is my earnest wish. Hoping that we may all meet at grandpa's birthday celebration many times in the future l am,
