IN GAELIC SCRIPT
Irish Delegates Signed the Re-
cent Treaty With England.

the Early Days Of Christianity--
Ogham 10 an Older System.

Signatures of the Irish delegates on
the Irish -English treaty received con
siderable notice because they were
the ancient Gaelic instead of the Brit
ish names OF the delegates, and be-
cause they We're written in the iiorid
and. in English eyes, distorted, Gaelic
script. For one not accustomed 10 the
Gaelic style of writing it was difficult
to make out the signatures.
Gaelic script Is old 1t was devel-
oped by monks in Ireland in the early
days Of Christianity. Yet there is an
older script than this. There is a
more genuine Gaelic system of writ
ing. known as Ogham
Ogham is the system of writing
which grew from some root which
may have been contemporaneous with
the root of the Celtic race. And, curl
ousy, Ogham may still be found in
traces in Ireland among the Cymri OF
Wales and the Gaels of Scotland.
Ogham specimens may he found EN-
graved on fiat rocks in whatever sec
lions of earth Celts We're in the days
Of Ogham.
There is story of a shopkeeper in
a little town in Ireland, who lived less
than hundred years ago and who
was nagged continually while he lived
by the authorities because, they said,
he had no sign above the door Of his
shop. He tried to show them the sign
and tried to read it to them. and
finally someone who knew what
Ogham was satisfied the authorities
by tranIating it into letters which
the authorities recognized. The
scratches over the door Of the shop,
when put into English letters, really
spelled out that old Irishman's name.
Nobody knows how Ogham started
or when. The nature Of the writing
the foundation of it--has led men to
believe 1t grew in time when the
only writing surfaces were blocks of
stone. 1t Is essentially script for
scratching.
The Ogham alphabet has 20 letters,
beginning, in order, with b. L, s, in
stead Of the A, h, c Of the Phoenician
alphabet. which must have been born
ages after 0gham. The Ogham alpha
bet is divided into four groups; all the
letters are alike. being lines, and are
distinguishable from ope another by
the number Of lines used by position
with relation to the basic line or to
each other, or by posture-that Is In
one group the short lines slant. All
are short lines except the one long one

WAS NOT ALWAYS HU M0RIST
Side, Which the World 10 Be-
ginning to Realize.

Mark Twain's reputation rests on
his humor. He burst upon the world
as writer recklessly jocund and
hilariously informal He gave the
rough pioneer life of the West in his
day humorous turn that appealed
to all AS something different and
unique.
His humor rested in large part upon
carrying things to eNtravagant I'M
pications. He was quick to see ana
point out the irrelevant and incon-
gruous He pierced the hoax of pre-
tension or assumptions. People at
first thought of him as something OF
literary swashbuckler out of the
untamed West, and many still think
Of him only as a humorist.
But he is now seen In larger per-
spective. Through the admirable
biography of Albert Bigelow Paine
and the fine tribute of William Dean
Howelx, the man is seen to have
weighty, serious side that promises TO
live AS long Ms his humOr. There was
much in Twains experience to give
serious turn to his thought. HIS
rapid rise from obscure poverty to
wealth and fame was not without its
serious reverses The honors that
came to him, his friendships with
thinking men and women, his bereave-
ments that cut him to the heart. tended
to make him look beneath the chances
of misfortune to the springs ana mo-
tives of human character and action.
As result of this ripenng and
broadening Twain came to have an
indubitahe seriousness, says writer
in the Minneapolis Journal. The chief
characteristic of his serious Thought
was a distrust of conventional at
tltudes and prevailing opinions. His
stories carried him far afied into
realms of art, history, language study
and religion With cynical and burn
Ing insight he indicted the piety OF
Christian peoples who could make
great professions and at the same
time devise with increasing ferocity
deadly means of making war. All the
Christian nations he saw were at the
game "And the more advanced they
are the bigger and more destructive
engines of war they create"
Howells calls Mark Twain the Lin
coin Of American literature. There
are several parallels between the two
men. Both came from homes of
poverty and were of humble parentage.
Both had to make their way in the
world through their own unaided ef-
forts and both attained positions in
the hearts of the people.
The cloud Of seriousness and pathos
does not hang over Twain as heavily
or pervasively as over Lipcoln- But
the same rational insight that gave
him power to lnd humor in the incon
grnties of life revealed to him also
the still sad music of humanity Mark
| Twain as humorist will not be valued
less in the coming years. But Twain
| as a keen observer OF life and a man
with serious purposes and ideals will
be more valued than he has been.

Digging the family out Of bed In

covered by the mother of a large and
sleep-loving brood in the Sheepshead
bay section. Every member Of the
family except the mother goes out
either to school or to work, and as
there isn't an early bird in the whole
family 1t has proved rather difficult
for mother to get the household started
In time to evade reproofs of school
authorities or to keep their jobs.
Recently she noticed how her chill

her famous early rising plan. Before
going to bed she tied one end of q

cord the next morning and by $3.50
