MONEYS PARAMOUNT MISSION

The present struggle is not Ma
tional simply. 1t is international.
1t belongs to no one people. 1t be-
longs to all. 1t is struggle between
and monarchial con-
troll. 1t is especially a contest be-
tween the highest type of civilization
and a type which in certain re-
spects has close affinities with half
civilization and with barbarism.
In such struggle every element OF
strength, every ounce OF weight
counts, and counts nightly. In
making the fight money is not simply,
as the definition says, a standard OF
value and a medium of exchange.
1t is also a power unto victory. 1t
means a step in the progress unto
peace with victory.

BLARNEY CASTLE.

The ruins of old Blarney Castle are
4 few miles outside of Cork, sur
rounded by pleasant Irish fields and
gorgeous hawthorn hedges. The huge
sauare tower stands as firm and true
now as in the days when old Cormac
Mccarthy ruled over the land OF
Munster. The old chieftain built his
castle to withstand English guns and
English diplomacy, and Blarney Cas-
tie has kept the trust.
The visitor to the ruins never
fails to ask for the famous Blarney
stone. The withered old guide looks
him over carefully and leads him up
a narrow winding stair to the top of
the donjon tower. If the visitor is
Old and dignified he is then shown a
small square stone near the wallis
edge and is permitted to kiss the relic
without much trouble. But if he is
young and especially agile he is di-
rected to huge slab some feet below
the level of the battlements. To kiss
il he must be lowered by his feet
ever the towers edge, never a very
graceful process. But the feat once
accomplished, if the old tradition be
true. he is possessed forever of a
glib and persuasive tongue and usu-
ally returns home to make career
in politics.
The tradition is that its reEnarka-
bic power was granted the stone in
return for some favor bestowed by
COrmac upon an especially grateful

white-flOwered Florentine Iris, the
flower de luce. what sayest thou,

Shakespeare's play. The French have
a pretty legend Of their lily which tells
that at the baptism Of King Clovis,

war with that country and they were
borne by England until the beginning
of the nineteenth century.

was full of such holy men and
women. The willy chieftain made
good use of his power in his own
day, three times successfully match
ing his wits against the English.
Since old Cormac's day hundreds
have visited the castle and kissed
what they firmly believed to be the
sacred stone. But the real Blarney
Stone is not the one near the tower
wall, but the old block with the in
scription "Cormac the Brave caused
me to be built-1446" to reach

Playing the Man.

No matter what part he may be
playing in the strenuous game of life
as it is presented today, the brother
hood man, above all others, must play

steadfastness and manly purpose.
AS Robert L. Stevenson so beautifully
puts it: whether we regard life as a
line leading to a dead wall-a mere
bags end, as the French say-or
whether we think of it as vestibule
or gymnasium, where we wait our turn
and prepare our facilities for some
more noble destiny; whether we thun-
der in a pulpit or pule in little esthetic
poetry books about its vanity and brev-
ity, whether we look justly for years
of health and vigor. or are about to
mount into bath chair, as step to-

these views and situations there is but
one conclusion possible; that a man
should stop his ears against paraly-

she wanted to make her will, SO that
Billy Louise would have the Cove when
Marthy was done with IL. Billy Louise
cried little and argued a good deal,
but Marthy had not lost all her stub
bornness, and the will stood un-
changed.
Billy Louise and Ward were married
just as soon as Ward was able to make
the trip to the county-seat, which was
just as soon as he could walk comfort
ably with a cane.
They stayed the winter In the Cove,
and a part of the spring. Then they
buried grim, gray old Marthy up on the
side hill near Jase, where she had
asked them to lay her work-worn body
when she was gone.
They were very busy and very happy
and pretty prosperous with their three
ranches. They never heard of Charlie
Fox again, or of Buck Olney-and they
never wanted to.

how impossible it Is for couple to

Louise, she might take you through
the canon and point out to you her
cave. 1t is possible that she might also
show you the washout which always
made her and Ward laugh when they
passed it. And If you ride up over the
hill and along the upland and down
another hill. you cannot fail to find the
entrance to the Cove; and perhaps you
will like to ride down the gorge and
see the little Eden hidden away there.
