MANY IRISH NAMES IN CUBA
Signs on Some of the Most Noted
Havana Streets Reflect a Trans
planted Aristocracy.

There are many curiously named
streets In Havana, but perhaps the in
terest of the tourist is no other way
so piquantly excited as when he sees
the name O'Reilly attached to one of
the old thOroughfares. The cognOmen
surely has no suggestion of Castilian
origin. remarks the New York Evening
Post.
Despite the name. the man for
whom O'Reilly street. or to give II Its

was a Spanish subject bearing the
title Of count. and he was one of the
nrst OF the long line Of captains gen.
eral who ruled Cuba for a period Of
50 years. His ancestors left their ma.
tive heath after the battle Of the
Boyne. migrating to Spain, where they
were ennobled for services to the
crown.
Although an aristocrat, the first
OReilly was not averse to becoming
a moneymaker. He engaged in the not
very poetic monopoly of delivering
beef from the slaughter houses to the
various markets, which monopoly was
handed down for several generations
from father to son.

gun through the propeller of an air
plane without danger of hitting the
propeller blades. The French aviator,
Roland Garros, was reported to be
the first man to employ this device
which was used by hundreds Of air
fighters throughout the war Before
that time the machine gun was
mounted above the aviator so as to

Recklessness and Extravagance

Nellie Kelso in the Thrift Magazine
 We heard boast a young man made the other day. that he had never had any experience as a painter but that he saw an ad for a painter by 9 construction company He applied to tEem for the position and was accept cd at s1o per day. His boast at the end of tho first day was that he hal managed to put in that whole 310-day in putting on just one pint of paint.
 We know state house where the stenographers are paid from $10o to $l50 per month, for a six and one-half- ncur day. and are always scarce. The offices are always in need of more help. Yet we have heard these girls tell how they go to work at s:30 or ID o'clock and remain at home for a day on the slightest provocation. An other case, perhaps, where piece work might cure thriftlessness.
 We can understand and sympathize Just little with extravaganza in ilv- ing expenses, the enjoyment of high man can get much pleasure out of gambling away his money; we take special delight in seeing workers get t!ng double the wages they received few years ago. but that attitude so many workers. both men and women ir the office and out take of being proud of good salaries, but much Prouder of the very small amount of work they can do and still hold a pol sition, is an attitude which not only promotes thriftlessness but is one which is working a danger to the workers themselves.

BELFAST TO ACT
Will Set Up Parliament When Home
 Rule Bill Passes
Bx Associated Press

Dublin, October 26.--The Irish Parlia- ment at Belfast for the six northeast counties is expected to be set up imme- diately, once the home rule bill is passed by the imperial government. It was pointed out chat this would serve as an example for all the rest of Ire land, and have a steadying effect by showing the Sim Feiners that Dublin and the other 26 counties could have precisely the same machinery of self government as Belfast will have for it's six counties.
 There is some agitation for amend ments to the financial terms of the home rule bill. Ulstermen are opposed to handing over to any Irish body the control of customs and excise. They do not want this privilege for them- selves and are determined that it shall not be made available for the rest of Ireland fearing that 1t might be usee 10 the detriment of industry in the northern section of the country.
 Belfast imen want more than the 1000 900 pounds to be granted for set ting up it's proposed new parliament. They also say that the sum of 1S,000,o 900 which Ireland is to contribute annually to the support of the empire is too high. This would be reduced by abo t s3,0o00 900 a year by the annuities now
 
 Irish farmers who have purchased their holdings with government advances This sum is in the future to be divided between the two Irish Parliaments.
 One suggestion has been made that Irelands contribution to the imperial funds shal be limited to the Irish in come tax and super tax, which at pres ent amounts to 1o,0oo,o00 pounds or Ill., 6O0. 900 pounds a year.
 Outside of Ulster, however, none of these points is being discussed at all. Complete separation and an independent republic is the Sim Fein policy. while even the moderates demand a govern lneut for all Ireland on dominion lines as completely free in finance as Canada. The governments bill does nothing to meet this view and its creation of two separate Parliaments in Ireland with equal powers is resented by every sec ton of politicians in the south and west.

Chatterer the Red Squirrel racing back to the big hickory-tree which he claimed as his very own, was most un- easy in his mind. Could it be that after all he had failed to scare Rusty the Fox Squirrel? Could it be that while he had been away that afternoon Rusty had returned and gathered those fat hickory nuts that had been on the ground? If so, what would he do about it? What could he do about 1t?
 I'll fight him and drive him away" grumbled Chatterer. That's what I'll do-Pll fight him and drive him away. I'll teach him that he can't come here and steal my hickory nuts"
 Now, this sounded very brave and bold, but all the time he was saying it Chatterer knew that it was just talk He remembered how big Rusty had seemed when he saw him for the first time that morning, and now as he tried to picture Rusty in his mind he grew bigger and bigger. Chatterer is no coward. His cousin, Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel, is much, very much big ger than he, but Chatterer does not fear him. More than once he has had the best of quarrel with Happy Jack
 But this newcomer was so much big ger than Happy Ja.k that Chatterer knew right, down in his heart that fight with him would be worse than foolish. Not only was Rusty big, but he was strong. Chatterer had seen that at a glance. So, despite his brave words Chatterer was uneasy in his mind.
 When he reached the hickory tree no one was to be seen. It was as quiet and peaceful there as if no living crea- ture ever had passed that way. There wasn't a sign of Rusty the Fox Squir- rel. Chatterer was both glad and dis appointed. You see he had really ex pected to see Rusty. Not seeing him was a relief, yet at the same time left him just as wise as he was before and no more. Rusty might be far, far away by this ti1ne Then again he might be right around there somewhere So Chatterer grew more and more uneasy.
 q want to know" muttered Chat terer impatiently, as once more he looked among the, dry leaves on the ground for fat hickory nuts. Not one was to be found. Some one has taken them and I want to know who 1t is,
