Two Good Stories That Come Frorr
the Emerald Isle.
In his "Reminiscences -of an Iris! ,
Land Agent," the author, "Sain" llus !
soy, tells of one of the earliest pri |
vate carriages used in Kerry. "'Hi* j
vehicle in question had just been pur |
chased by a certain Miss whe
regarded it 011 its arrival with almost
sac ret] awe. A dance in the' neigh >
borhood seemed an appropriate .-ppor j
tunity for impressing the count with (
her newly acquired grandeur, but th€ j
night proving wet, she insisted on
reverting to a former mode of pro-
gression ami rode pillion behind her j
coachman. The result was that she .
caught a violent chill, which turned
to pneumonia. When her relatives
were assembled round her deathbed, I
the old lady exclaimed, be'.wren her j
last gasps for breath: 'Thank (5od 1 j
never took out the carriage that wet 1
night.'"
Another tale goes back to the year ,
1815, when Napoleon escaped from •
Elba. Mr. Hussey says: "In Kerry
the farmers had been an extra long
time fattening up their pigs. After
the peace that followed Napoleon's
defeat and exile prices all
fell and though the farmers
were reluctant they had to
yield to circumstances. One day the
dealers were buying at extremely low
rates in Tralee market, when the post-
man brought the news that Napoleon
had escaped from Elba. Instantly all
the farmers broke off their bargains
and proceeded to start homeward
with their swine, shouting: 'Hurrah
for Boney that rose the pigs!'"
^ FRAUD EXPOSED.
A few counterfeiters have lately been
making and trying to sell imitations of
Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump-
tion, Coughs and Colds, and other med-
icines, thereby defrauding the public.
This is to warn you to beware of such
people, who seek to profit, through steal-
ing the reputation of remedies which
have been Huccessfully curing disease,
for over .15 years. A sure protection, to
you, is onr name on the wrapper. Look
for it, on all Dr. King s, or Bucklen s Look out for Coughs, Colds, Croup
remedies, as all others are mere imita-! aulj WbcopinK Couich. They are ilan-

How Shaw Writes His Plays.
Sir Charles WyndlKini reei utly told j
Eli interviewer of his lirst meeting i
with fieorge Bernard Shaw. "In those
days," hi' says, "Shaw would not have
a bit ef linen about him. He won;
soft shirts and long, Hewing ties,
which, with his tawny hair an. long,
red beard, gave hint the appearance
of a veritable viking. Well, he came
in and sat down'at the table. Then he
put itis hand into his right trousers
pocket and slowly drew out a small
pocket memorandum book; then he
dug into the left side pocket and
brought nut another. I waited. He
thrust his hand into a coat pocket .
and lished out another of the little |
books, then still another and anoth-
er. Finally he paused in his explo-
rations, looked over at me and said
'I suppose you're surprised to see all
these little pocket books. The tact

Ancient Forks.
A London jeweler has made a col
lection of ancient forks used in Eng-
land. which show some little known
facts about the table manners of a
few centuries ago. The forks, which
are of solid silver, date from he six-
teenth century. In many eases the
designs in all this time have scarcely
varied in any detail, and the I
look like those which might be 1
to-day. The old forks were a g,,
luxury in their time and were only
used by the aristocracy.
It's just as well uot to think of
trouble until you are up agaiust it.
