A sleigh dashed up to the little coun-

prisoner. heavily handcuffed and be-
spattered with the slushy snow of a

Peterson. He dropped down upon the

to the river, whose wet ice glistened in

Spanish Irishmen.

A receAt writer draws attention to
the connection which has long existed
between Ireland and Spain. In the
days Of the wild Geese when Irish.
men were carving out futures for
themselves as soldiers Of fortune in
many lands, they went i'll large num-
bers to Spain. Then again large num-
bers Of Irish men and women, many Of
them belonging to well known fam
lilies, emigrated to Spain in the early
days Of the nineteenth century. All
these immigrants were adopted by the
country, and they adopted It. whole
heartedly-so whole heartedly, indeed,
that, as the writer already referred to
pointed out, hardly any Of their pres
ent representatives speak English, at
any rate as "a native tongue" and
they have lost all touch with Irish life.
They have retained their names, how
ever, unalterel, and in the Spanish
army list are to be found many such
names as O'Connor, O'Neil, O'Donnell,
Shaw, and so on.-Christian Science
Monitor.

Spelling Old Frisndships.

So far as men are concerned, the
warmest friendship is that which
exists between two fellows whose
wives have never met. A friend that
we have known and liked for years
has drifted away from us, and We
suppose he feels that we have drifted
away from him. We liked each other
so well that We wanted our wives to
meet and he good friends. Finally
they met. and, as might have been
expected, they cared nothing in the
world for each other. In fact. one OF
them said she couldn't see what on
earth anybody could find in her TO ad-
mire, and we suppose the other said
about the same thing. We felt that
our friend knew what our wife
thought Of his wife, and we were
little ashamed to be in his company.
Probably he felt the same. At any
rate. we haven't had much of anything:
to do with each other since. We
speak. but no one would ever guess
that we once were bosom friends
