In his fourteenth year he entered
Trinity college, Dublin. the atmosphere
of which was all agiow at the period
with the fame Of Irish patriotism
which was rapidly spreading among
the students. Robert Emmett was hight
ing up the whole college with the IRE
OF Irish liberty.
The crisis which caused the expul-
sion Of Emmett and others from tho col
iege Moore bravely faced and proudly
writes Charles O'Farrell In the Irish
World. When he was taken before the
college tribunal for examination he
'mAnfulIy refused to incriminate any of
his fellow students. In the course Of
his examination he made Lord Clare
the following spirited reply:
'T have no fear. my lord. that any
thing might say would incrminate
myself. but II may tend TO involve 9TH
.ers, and despIse the character Of the
man who could be led, under any cir
cumstances. to inform against his as
sociates."
He resumed his studies In the col
fege. and at twenty years old obtained
his degree of B. A. Shortly after this
he proceeded 10 London to enter for
the bar. But fortunately for the lovers
of fine poetry and song. fortunately for
the sublime music Of Ireland. which
he has made immortal. he did not be-
come lawyer. Soon after he arrived
In London he published some OF his
youthful illusions. and they were SO
successful. In spite OF adverse criti-
cism, that he gave up the law forever
and entered In triumph the field OF
song. So rapidly did he publish series
after series of the finest gems Of po-
etry that he very soon became famous.
The rich mine Of Irish music, or Irish
valor and bravery. and OF all the grand
phases OF Irish character were COW

melodies the proud glory OF Ireland to

Well and truly does he say:

that local grocers send a delegate to

Nj. Beacham states the meeting is
called for the express purpose of
putting in motion such methods as
will tend to lower the cost of living.
and so far as can be accomplished by
cooperative effort. to insure the peo-
pie of Florida against shortage OF

Realizing that all grocers cannot
find it convenient to attend on the
same date. Mr. Beacham suggests
that one delegate be appointed, his
expenses to be paid either by those
whom he represents or by himself.
Tie conference will bring together
grocers from every sectionu of the
State and food problems peculiar to
every LOCALITY will be discussed and
solutions worked out.

London, Dec. Sir Richard Vas
sar Smith in a recent address before
the Institute of Bankers, said one
feature of recent banking develop
monts had been the greater and more
immediate control which leading
banks had assumed over financial re-
lations with other countries by the
creation of foreign departments and
the opening of branches in foreign
countries. This development of in
tornational banking meant a demand
fer young Englishmen with a
knowledge of foreign languages, for
eign exchange and the commercial!
and financial conditions in other
countries.
Preliminary examinations Of the
,1rstitute for the coming year had
teeh opened to women.
He saw no reason for detection or
encouragement with regard to the
future. Reconstruction after tho war
would be long and arduous hut It
must be undertaken by removing all
friction from the machinery of prog
ress and by approaching the problem
in spirit Of good will.
He stated that the first and most
serious questions in his opinion was
the relations of capital and labor, as
it was only by harmonious workina
between these two forces that the re.
quired result could be obtained.
He urged strongly the necessity o
better organization, after the wa,

Two of these towns are miles
apart, and the other one is come
thing less than half way between
Prices of foodstuffs are about the
same in each town. The prices o:
eating, therefore, in the houses pre-,
sided over by these women is not
caused by the high cost of food or
the low cost, but by the women
themselves.

on the table were too numerous to

of ice cream so lacking in sugar it
was hard to be sure any was there.
