'Oh, Paddy dear, and did YOU
hear, the news that's going round ?"
They're throwing hats in Ireland
now, for it's to be free ground.
After reaching almost the breaking
point in peace negotiations, the con-
ferees from Ireland and England in
the early hours of Tuesday morning
reached an agreement that settles
the centuries old quarrel, and es-
tablishes the Irish Free States, with
the same constitutional status as
Canada, Australia and other over
seas dominions. The question of
allegiance which threatened to
wreck the negotiations, was sur
mounted. Members of the Irish
parliament will swear allegiance to
the Irish Free State and "be faith
full to His Majesty, the king" The
treaty was signed by all the con-
ferees. 1t has yet to run the gaunt-
let of parliament and the Ulster
government. Approval by the
former is assured, but the position
Ulster will take is less certain. Pro-
vision is made for Ulster to with
draw from the Irish Free State, the
boundaries to be fixed by a commits
sion.

The outstanding features of Presi-
den Harding's message TO Congress
yesterday were proposals for fiexi-
BILE tariff, adjustable by the presi-
dent or the tariff commission; for
an industrial tribunal and for a con-
stitutional amendment to stop the
flood of tax-free securities. OF the
international conference, he ex-
pressed something like promise
when he said: "A most gratifying
world accomplishment is not i'm
probable"

The conferees on the tax revision
bill did well to strike out the pro-
vision giving Congress authority to
call upon the treasury department
for income tax returns of corpora
tions and individuals Income tax
returns should remain inviolate, ex-
cept for the single question of their
accuracy. If Congress or con-
gressional committee could call for
income returns, and make them sub
ject to committee inspection, there
would be no further possibility of
secrecy in individual or corpora
tion business affairs. Bust
ness competition is always keen,
and rivals will frequently resort to
extreme measures to ascertain the
financial status of competitors, and
to take advantage of it.

With the big game season prac-
tically over, evidence multiplies
that the so-called "semi-buck" law,
which provides that each mans
quota of two deer must include one
buck, with antlers, is not only un-
popular, but has not had the desired
effect. One of the arguments in
favor of the law was that it would
make hunters more careful, but ap-
parently it has not. The old
tendency to shoot first and investi-
gate afterward is as strong as ever.
There has been no lessening of the
mistaken for deer" accidents, and
many does have been left to rot in
the woods, according to reports to
the game commissioner. The law
viii have another years trial, how
ever, before another session of the
legislature.

tends. This is especially true If
your general health is none too good.
Being in a dusty atmosphere. too
long in bad air or breathing in
great quantities of tobacco smoke
may excite the trouble. Constipa-
ton and Indigestion are important
factors.
Needless to say. recurring attacks
of Iaryngitis should lead you to a
study of your habits, of ,-ur voice
methods. and Of your general health.
In an acute attack open the win
dow and go 10 bed. Keep warm.
open the bowels. Gargle with hot
water if your throat is not too sore.
If there is much discomfort spray
your throat with hot boracic solu-
ton or some alkaline solution, like
a teaspoonful of soda TO half n pint
OF water.
Steam inhalations are useful. If
the trouble does not respond speed

THE THREE cAMeLs.

Hello" said Camel One. ''here we

1T is indeed" said Camel Two.
"But l am glad the weather is a little

were walking down to our stable home
1t was snowy and rainy and very

ut seems strange" said Camel
Three, that they cannot get enough
people to act. 1t seems strange that
they need us too.
"That shows how important camels

ave didn't go on the stage with our

Now the three camels belonged to
theater which was giving a play about
the desert. Every day the Camels
were>ewalked up to the theater and
every evening after the theater was
out they were walked down to their
stable.

hibit when hunting a new game so
that he didn't attempt to strike Snow
bird down at once. But as the chase
went on, his passion grew upon him.
Ever he crept nearer And at last he
sprang full into the thickets beside
her.
AT that instant she had shot for the
first time. Because the light had left
his eyes before she could find aim,
both shots had been clean misses. And
terrible as the reports were. he was
too engrossed In the chase to be
frightened away by mere sound. This
was the cry the man-pack always
made-these sudden, startling sounds
In the silence. But he felt no pain.
He crouched a moment, shiverlng.
Then he bounded on again.
The third shot was miss too: In
fact, there had been no chance for a
hit. A sound in the darkness Is as
unreliable target as can possibly be
imagined. And 1t didn't frighten him
as much as the others. He waited,
crouching, and the girl started on.
She was making other sounds now
queer, whimpering sounds not greatly
different from the bleat that the fawn
utters when 1t dies. It was fear
sound, and II there is one emotion
with which the wild beasts are &C
quainted, In all Its phases, 1t Is fear.
She was afraid Of him, then, and that
meant he need no longer be In the
least afraid Of her. His skin began to
twitch all over with that terrible mad
ness and passion of the fiesh-hunters.
This game was like the deer, and
the thing to do was lie In wait There
was only one trail. He wasn't afraid
of losing her In the darkness. She
was neither fleet like the deer nor
courageous like Wool the bear. He
had only to wait and leap from the
darkness when she passed.
When Dan Failing, riding like mad
over the mountain trail, heard the
third shot from Snowbirds pistol, he
felt that one of the debts he owed had
come due at last. He seemed to know,
