 London, January 9.-The first puhlica- constitution for Ireland was made today by the Globe. This has a particular in- terest in view of the Sim Fein proposal to hold an Irish congress in the near fu- ture. The preamble of the constitution runs as follows;
 Whereas, the people of Ireland never have relinauished their claim to separate nationhood, and,
 Where's the provisional government of the Irish republic at Easter. 1916. in the name of the Irish people and continuing the fight made by previous generations reasserted the inalienable right of the Irish nation to sovereign independence and reafirmed the determination of the Irish people to achieve it, and
 Whereas, the proclamation of an Irish republic at Easter. 1916, and the supreme courage and the glorious sacrifices of the men who gave their lives to maintain it have reunited the people of Ireland under the flag of the Irish republic, we, the delegate representatives of the Irish in Congress assembled. declare the folow- ing to be the constitution of the Sim Fein."
 The article then sets forth the Sim Fein aims at securing international rec ognition of Ireland, as an independent re public. and declares that having achieved that status the Irish people by refer endum may freely choose their own form of government It says the Sim Fein ganization shall in the name of the sovereign Irish people deny the right and oppose the will of the British parliament and the British crown or any foreign government to legislate for Ireland
 It also says the organization will make use of any and every means available to render impotent the power of England to hold Ireland in subjection by military force or otherwise"
 The purported constitution declares a constituent assembly shall be convoked to formulate measures for the welfare of the people. The measures specified are the introduction of protective system for industries and commerce by the com bined action of the county and urban councils, the poor law board the harbor boards and other bodies directly respon- sible to the Irish people; the establish

PAID FOR DECENT BURIAL
GhostIy Visitor Who Appeared to
Lucky Campers Proved to Be
Man of His Word.

A good ghost story comes from New
Brunswick. Two men were out camp
ing and shooting In wild country. One
night one of them awoke and saw sit
ting over the glowing embers of the
dying fire figure dressed in an eight
eenth century costume.
"Who are your" asked the sports
man, startled. The ghost babe him
search in the cliff above which the
camp lay, and told him that he would
find his (the speaker's) bones there.
He ordered him to bury them decently,
and take as his reward what he found
in the cave
The figure then vanished. At dawn
the two comrades set to work. They
found the entrance to a cave which
had been almost blocked by a land
slide. Inside was skeleton with d
massive gold ring on It's bOny finger.
and around the skeleton lay various
books of dates varying from 1859 to
1856. There was also a manuscript
giving the locality and description of a
treasure buried near by, which the
lucky finders duly dug up and appro-
priated.
