WHILE GEORGE" LOOKED ON
American Woman to Kiss the
Real BIarney Stone.

Three or four of US made up a little
party to go to Blarney castle to i'm
prove our ability In the art Of talking
by kissing the Blarney stone. says
Capt, Albert r. Wonham in Spun
Yarns Of a Naval Officer" The say

somewhat to Blarney, too. but the

reconcile them with the miles record.

However, we got there, and, bOund-
ing up the stone stairs, reached the
top Of the tower. Two persons were
already there, an old man and n OF
the loveliest women l ever saw. We
were rather pressed for time, and so
proceeded to kiss the stone.
The Blarney stOne faces the outside
of the tower, about three feet down.

be hauled up. All round the top of
the tower is a hanging parapet project
ing about a foot from the line of the
tower wall, built to enable the defend
ers, when the castle was attacked, to
pour boiling water or melted lead on
top of the enemy operating on the
front door.
Having let one another down, we
finished under the wondering gaze of
the lovely woman. Excuse me. gen.
tlemen," she said, but what nave you
been doing!"
We told her.
With a disdainful look she turned to
the old fellow and said, There,
George, l told you that pointing
to a meek-loOking ton inside, was
not the Barney stone, and l have not
kissed the Barney stone! l have not
come all the way from America to go
away without doing it" AS she said
that she looked appealingly at US, for
to the occasion.
The end Of 1t was that we dashed
her dress round her ankles, lowered
her, and pulled her up triumphant.
There. George, now l a go back
to America and say that l have kissed
the Blarney stone" she cried.
l am bound to say that George. who
proved to be her husband. did not look
happy or pleased. His reputation for
telling the truth had suffered. and I
am pretty sure that he wished we
never had come.

War and the Churches.

One hears much nowadays about the
growing reunion Of the churches which
the war has brought about. But a
dual service which recently took place
Is probably unique. Not far behind
the lines two services were held sim
ultaneously in the village church-the
one being the usual Roman Catholic
service attended by the Inhabitants
while the other was a Protestant one
for battalion of Australians resting"
in the vicinity. The proceedings open
ed by the singing of hymn by the
Australians to music supplied by their
own band. Then the French cure ad-
dressed his flock. after which it was

Sugar Beet Pulp for Cattle.

The desert cattle ranchers Of Ari-
zona and New Mexico have learned
that to raise cattle is one business and
to fntten them is another. For this
reason they ship their cattle to Cali
fornia. where sugar beet pulp is OBJ
tained in abundance. One factory Is
located near the fields where the beets
are grown. The cattle are turned into
this field after the beets are harvested.
Under the fence is placed a trough
which projects outside Of the fence
just enough to allow the beet pulp to
be thrown into 1t from the cars. The
cars run on tracks from the factory to
the field and follow the fences around
the corral. More space is thus OBJ
tanned for the beef cattle to feed. and
there is but little waste of fodder. In
these war days the cattlemen are
learning to conserve stock food. as the
cattle themselves are conserved for our
use.-Popular Science Monthly.

SeapIane Has Important Part in
Hunting Down German
U-Boats.
SHARED WITH STEEL ROPES
Enemy 10 Given Five Minutes to Rise
and Surrender, Then 10 Blown
Up-vIvid Description BY
English Writsr.

London.-One Of the methods by
which, as the a1Bt sea lord. Sir Eric
Geddes said recently, the submarine
menace is being held" is vividly de-
scribed by q writer in the Liverpool
Journal Of Commerce.
A seaplane had spotted" a subma-
rine lying on the sea bed. Instantly
the observers finger commenced to
tap a key. Ten miles away a long.
lean destroyer and four squat trawlers
detached themselves like a pack Of
hounds working covert, and hastened
to the kill. Meanwhile the seaplane
circled around. When the surface
ships arrived, her Instructions, deliv-
cred by wireless, were curt and pre-
else.
Acting upon them the trawlers sta
toned themselves at the four corners
Of a wet quadrangle. while the de-
stroyer kept her guns ready to talk to
Fritz should he appear above the sur
face.
The trawlers at the corners got out
their sweeps-@oog wire hawsers, with
a heavy kite" In the center to keep
their bights down on the seabed-and
commenced to steam toward each
other.
As the pairs Of vessels met. their
wires simultaneously engaged them
selves under the U-boat's bow and
stern, and commenced to work their
sinuous way between her hull and the
sea bottom.
Then the strange thing happened.
Two round. black objects seemed to
detach themselves from her hull and
float surfaceward. to hover a second
and then to commence bobbing down
the tide.
"Minelayer. ehf" called the sea-
planes observer.

SAVING THE INJURED

I've sure got to hand 1t to those
men with the Red Cross on their arms.
They all worked like dogs in that hell
out there. They seemed to have but
one idea-to do their duty-and appar-
emily cared nothing for their own lives
while doing 1t. They were game right
to the core"
In this connection 1t may be said
that there are certain number of
men who wear the Red Cross whose
names are on the casualty list. If any
one has thought that Red Cross
worker goes out on battlefield only af
ter the firing has ceased and brings in
the wounded. this statement by sol
dier will correct the wrong impression.
Stretcher-bearers work under fire-and
the Germans have not hesitated to fire
upon Red Cross workers.
The knowledge that the Red Cross
workers will be at his side almost as
quickly as he falls wounded, to take
him to the first-aid station and subse-
quently to the hospitals. has given
great comfort to the American troops.

Thrilling Story Of TrawIer Skip
per's Exploit.
Third Blow Of FIalIIike Implement
Puts Out U-eoat's Eye and A.
lied Crew Escapes.

LondOn.-When ones vessel Is in
danger from enemy submarines any
thing will do as a weapon Of defense,
as is shown by the story Of captain
Of a British trawler who used coal
shovel with good effect against Ger
man-U-boat. The trawler, according
to the story told by one Of the crew,
was IN the North sea in a stiff breeze
when the skipper saw periscope
crawl through the breaking surface of
the sea about a hundred yards OF.
There was no gun aboard and the traw-
ler's best speed was less than eight
knots.
ut was a situation to dismay most
men," said the seaman. "Our skipper.
however, has fighting spirit. A touch
Of the wheel sent the trawler's blunt
bows pointing at the submarines
whaleback. and we wallowed menac-
ingly toward the pirate.
1.-THE U-boat swung round to avoid
the impact and the sides Of the traw-
Ter scraped along the sides Of the sub
marine. The periscope still was well
out Of the water but was beginning to
slip down as the submarine dived.
'"The skipper bawled for a hammer,
a crowbar. anything that would hurt.
One Of the crew thrust a coal shovel
into his hand and he scrambled on the
bulwarks and leaned over. two of the
crew hanging On to his coat so that he
wouldn't fail overheard. Backward
and forward he swung the heavy scoop
at the fragile periscOpe and the third
blow reduced It to fragments.

answer, but her eggs can wait for a
minute"
Then the trawlers crossed their de-
pendent cables and thus held the u
boat in a kind Of wire cats cradle. She
seemed to suddenly awake to her
danger, for with bound she tried to
disentangle herself from the meshes
which held her. But 1t was no use |;
the trawlers had been too long at the
game and the submarine was doomed.
'Got him." signaled the seaplane.
Thanks" responded the destroyer.
The End Of the u-Boat.
At flag signal from the destroyer
the port foremost trawler and the star
board after one clipped a small red
tin of high explosive to the bar-taut
wire. and allowed 1t to slide down till
1t touched the U-boat's hull.
1t was the seaplane's turn to wave a
flag. and Immediately there followed
the fall Of two fists upon two firing
keys; the uprising Of two gray mounds
OF water and a rumbling, muffled ex-
IplOsion.
The seaplane circled twice above
the patch Of rising oil. ascertained
that Fritz had been destroyed, and
notified the destroyer. Then. with her
observer slipping a drum of cartridges
Into his machine gun, she sped on after
those objects bobbing down tide.
A burst Of rapid firing-and the first
of the DEVILS eggs. its buoyancy Cham
ber punctured. sank with a gurgle {;
the second gave better show, for 1t
exploded grandly-and harmlessly-as
the bullets reached 1t.
