SUNG HIS OWN COMPOSITIONS
Was Surely Exceptionally En-
dowed by Nature.

Thomas Moore, Ireland's favorite
minstrel poet. was born I'm rooms over
a Dublin corner grocery i'm 1It9, and
died baronet, the ''pote of ali cir
cles and the darlint of his own" the
idol of two continents, I'm 1852.
For the last thirty years of his life
he lived i'm cottage at Sloperton, near
Devices. Wiltshire, where he devoted
himself to all manner of literary Ell
forts. His works include not only de-
lightful short poems of 1.-THE Last Rose
of Summer" type, but also poems to
form quarto volume. such as "Laila
Rookh," for which Moore received 81
600 guineas (S15,OOO), and they in
clude prose of all kinds, series OF
humorous letters, biographies and
even History of Ireland"
Moore himself was beautiful sing
er and rendered his own compositions
often in public, 1t Is related. After
the tragic death of his daughter he re-
fused to sing publicly again. His
daughter, the darling of his heart, was
leaning over the balustrade one night
to throw kiss to her father as he
was going out to dine, when she lost
her balance, fell and was killed.
1.-THE Last Rose of Summer was
one of Moore's most exquisite crea-
tions. 1t appears in collection OF
Irish Melodies" written for Power, a
London music publisher, on contract
to supply a considerable number OF
songs for volume entitled as above.
The work was started in 1907 and was
not completed till 1884. 1.-THE Last
Rose of Summer" however, was among
the early productions, and is there
fore easily more than 100 years old.

SAW SIGNIFICANCE IN M0LEs
Writer Of Long Ago Pointed Out the
Meaning Of Spots on the Human /.
Anatomy.

Have you a little brown mole con-
cealed somewhere about your anatomy
that you sometimes show to your
friends-and sometimes don't? Well,
every little mole has meaning or
it's own, according to chap-book that
was current I'm the Eighteenth century,
entitled Dreams and Moles, With
Their Interpretation and Significance"
(printed and sold In Aldermary church
yard, Bow lane, LOndon). Whether
you are to be happy or unhappy. lucky
or unlucky in life, depends upon where
your little pet is located. Here are
some of the interpretations given In
the old chap-book:
A mole on the right shoulder de-
notes happiness to man or woman.
A mole on the left shoulder denotes
a man to be quarrelsome, but woman
to have many husbands.
On the left cheek denotes frankness
in man or woman.
On the left ribs, cruelty in man, van
ity and pride in woman.
Near the right shoulder, you are to
be slave to love If man, and to be
beloved. of great men. if you are a
woman.
A mole on the right side of the alb
domen means riches for a man and
happiness in marriage for woman.
One under the right breast presages
good fortune in your ventures; on the
back, riches and honor.
A mole on the right arm denotes
that you will rule your own house
hold; one on your left arm, that you
will be slave to duty.
A mole on the right hip signifies
good fortune in wedlock to man or
woman.-Kansas City Star.

Her Daddy Wa. All Right.

When was twelve years old called
upon Mary Gagged eleven) one Sunday
evening. I was all dressed up and
had pilfered an armful of mothers
cherished lilacs from the garden. I
stole out the alley gate, traversed
Mary's back yard and she met me at
the kitchen door. We sat on the back
steps. / restrained strong impulse
to flee when Mary said. Father Is
coming, think" He was gruff, bad
man. When he saw us i was terror
stricken. What he said was. "HOw's
the boy tonight?" and he took us both
i'm the house and sent little brother
after ice cream and Mary's mother cut
cake. So 7 wasn't kicked out by an
irate father, after all; in fact. he still
likes me and often jokes about the
Iilacs and the kitchen steps, although
another young man walked up the aisle
with Mary.-Chicago Journal.

and that as a co-belligerent she Is

The strength Of the American DO
sition, Administration officials point
out. lies In the fact that the United
States seeks nothing for herself
which she Is unwilling to grant the
other powers. The United States
seeks no monopolistic concessions.
whereas both Great Britain and
France do.
Equality Of Opportunity.
The United States merely takes
the position that American capital
and enterprise should not be ex.
cluded from any territory through.
out the world. and certainly not by
Great Britain and France, whose
victory over Germany the American
Government made possible.
An equality of opportunity, not
specific concession, is the object Of
the American policy, and Admins
tration observers expressed the
opinion today that the allied powers
would find It hard to circumvent
the American position because Of
it's moral strength.
It is probable that a treaty Of
amity and commerce, specially de-
signed to protect American rights.
will be signed between the United
States and Turkey. independently Of
any agreement made at Lausanne.
