IN THE TAIL of a six-page letter
from the learned DR.. c. II. Foley, OF
Abraham, County Galway, telling us all
about the bardic sept of the ODalys,
we read: 80 doubtless you will be glad
to know that before the seeds dropped
from the trees from which grew the trees
that were cut to build the 'Mayfower'
your ancestors wrote poetry"
And in those days. SO we've heard tell,
the bards were credited with the gift of
prophecy, though some couldn't even
foretell how a poem that started well was
going to turn out. Nor were the bards
always perfect. prompt persuaders. One
Of our crowd. the great Angus. son of
Carol O'Daly. who flourished in the early
fifteenth century, wrote poem of 1Ge
vain verses in an effort to urge Art NC
L.aughlin to take arms against the Eng
lish.
There's at least a score of those sing
ing lads of 500 years ago buried in ana
around the ruins of Corcomroe Abbey, in
way of prophecy or persuasion IL they
could have their harps and their voices
back today They were a digniied and
more or less solemn lot. and never spoke
with a brogue, and yet they might grudg.

PHILIPPUS MOSESCU is a sergeant
of the Second New Jersey Artillery. 1t
may be his privilege some day to serve
gun in defense Of shis native Rumania
and add a few chapters of his own to
the romantic history of the Mosescu fam.
ily. The Mosescu family is only three
generations old. 1t was founded by the
sergeant's grandfather, who was found
foundered in the bulrushes on the Ru-
mania bank of the River Pruth. Hence
his name-Mosescu, son of Moses. 1t
was quite clear to those who found the
baby that he was Of the race Of Moses,
for il was no uncommon thing for tho
Jews in Russia TO trust infants to the
rough river current which might carry
them, in times of persecution, into the
more tender mercies of the Turks of
Rumania. The Turk being a Semitic had
a fellow feeling for the Jew, and SO this
modern Moses fell into kindly hands and
was given clothes and a name. His sub
seauent career was brief and stormy, but
he married a daughter of his benefactor
and started family. His grandson, Ser
geant Philippus Mosescu, L. S. A, salutes
you.

There's a baby at our house
Came the other night
He's the cutest little mouse;
Eyes so small and bright.
Little fingers, fat and pink.
When they spread apart
Seem to reach right out and sink
Deep into your heart.
Worth his weight III gold. YOU say?
Goodness bless your soul!
We'd not swap that child today
For his weight in coal

I Bismarck, Sept. 15.-In spite Of most
unfavorable weather conditions, mud
dy roads and rain-drenched landscape,
without, the house chamber at the cap
itOl last evening was alive with
the scene Of one Of the most brilliant
social assemblies in the history Of the
state, More than 200 couples brayed
the bad weather to dance as. guests Of
Bismarck Lodge B. P. O.. E., for the
benefit of the mess funds of the Bis
lnarck national guard units, and they
were many times overpaid for their
fOrtitude.
The huge assembly room was ablaze
with light and color when the grand
march, led by Governor and Mrs. Fra
zier, Adjutant General Angus Fraser,
Colonel Frank White, Lieutenant Col
onel T. H. Tharalson, and various
members of the governors admins
trative staff, began under the direc-
ton of r. L. Best, master Of cere
monies, who had as his principal aide
George w. Cochrane. About 100 cou-
pies participated in the. march, which
at it's close melted into waltz to
the dreamiest and most seductive Of
measures from the Second regiment
band of Harvey. The large floor i'm
mediately was alive with dancers, and
from that hour until the last-encore
was played at o'clock this morning,
the terpischorean revels continued
with undated vivacity.
Beautiful gowns, well groomed men,
chick military uniforms mingled in a
beautiful ensemble. The walls and the
galleries were lined with spectators,
and the legislative hall was aquiver
with that air of happy excitment
which marks the pinnacle of success of
an achievement of this nature.
