BELLS OF LIMERICK
They Constitute One OF The Most
Beautiful Peals In The World.

limerick, where the Irish rebels
have their headquarters, has one Of
the most beautiful peals of bells in the
world. They were made In Italy by a
young workman, who. after the toll OF
many years. produced a peal OF bells
which were so perfect in tone that
even his critical judgment was salts
fed. The bells were hung in a neigh
boring convent, but In the course of
years war swept across that part OF the
land, and the bells were lost. Misfor-
tune overlook the bellfounder, and he
left his native land, wandering about
the world for years. Then hearing
that his bells had been taken to LINER
ick, he set out to hear their swcei
tones once again. AS his vessel sailed
up the Shannon, borne upon the even
ing air from the towers Of the cath
edral came the mueic OF his bells. He
went forward and sat listening, his
gaze fixed upon the distant cathedra-
but when the vessel came to anchor
and they went to rouse him he was
dead.-London Morning Post.
