DOWN THE ANDES
Universities of Ireland.
Another step looking toward Impor-
tant concessions to Ireland was taken
when the British house of commons
passed to the first reading, by a vote
of 307 to 24. the bill providing for two
new universities, In which there shall
be entire absence of religious testa.
Complaint of Inadequate provision for
education has been of long standing In
Ireland, but within recent years there
has been marked Improvement In that
respect. Schools have Increased In
number, and requirements as to at-
tendance have been greatly relaxed.
Public schools are now In existence
which are open to all pupils, and no
attendant Is obliged to be present at
religious exercises to which parents
or guardians object. The additional
universities, with the latitude allowed
as to religion, will, says the Troy (N.
Y.) Times, facilitate the acquirement
of proficiency in higher education and
will obviate the necessity for s'.udents
to go abroad to find what they want In
the way of collegiate training. The
effect of such action should be most
beneficial.
Boston has a recently established
custom for which It is c.aiming much
It is the New Voters' festival held an-
nually in Faneuil hall. It Is not a
partisan move but seeks in poetry and
prose to inspire patriotism In thoae
who have recently come into the
crowning right of citizenship. In the
meeting just held the stars and stripes
were lauded without stint, the way out
of civic corruption was Ciscussed, the
red Insignia of anarchy was metaphor-
ically trampled under foot and various
aids to getting rid of public evils were
exploited. If the scheme will, as
claimed for it, make the new voters
better than old ones, it is worth wide
adoption.
Some fault-finding persons are criti-
cising the 500 New Yorkers who dis-
cussed poverty over a dinner costing
$10 a plate and where some of the
guests appeared wearing costly Jew-
els. If this money had been given to
the poor they think more good would
have been done. More good to the
poor, perhaps, but not to the guests at
the banquet Just think, remarks the
Indianapolis Star, how much satisfac-
tion 499 of those guests took in in-
specting the titled visitor with her
diamond tiara and rope3 of pearls!
Some people never can see two sides

she thought I ought to have an emet-

would make me throw up my soul she

it would be as useless as saying mew

a long time I found myself a traoth-

yard and 1 thought I'd slip out and
drown myself. Just then I heard a

there was lo he a fight over ncrost
the creek within n few days, I de-
cided that mebby I ttlll had sotnothln'
to live for.
"But I didn't give up my Idea of
vengeance on that feller, and one day
I met him as I wns comln' along the

ion, and 1 startod out and 1 don't know

I'll tell you that The next day the
Kirl came over. She said that she
heard that a bull had met me and dis-
agreed with me. What a lie that fel-
low had told her; and she insisted on
seein' me. She came Into the room
and I looked at her through a hole In
a beefsteak. She laughed. Oh, I
don't blame her now, you understand,
but just at that moment my love
stubbed Its toe and fell, and fell hard,
I want to remark. She said she was
awful sorry for me and I said she
acted like it.

"Well, he wat always a mighty hand
to argue. J haven't seen him In a long
time. It's a good ways to your house,
ain't It?"
"About ten miles."
• Yes, and the miles get longer and
tho days thorter iib we grow older.
But no mattor how old we get. If tho
heart remains tound, we never forget
that rheumatism I told you about I
wouldn't give the memory of it for
hardly anything In the world. One
of these days you will see her comln
down the road, a makin' the orchards
bloom as the passes along, and you'll
wonder how you can live another mln-
it, and you'll wish yourself dead just
to make her feel bad. If she laughs at
anything anyone else says It will send
a knife blade through your heart, and
If she sighs you'll think it's over some
other feller. There'll be no such thing
as pleasin' yon, but I'd rather have it
In store for me than a mountain range
made of gold. Well, boys, it's about
time 1 was a goin' on home. There's a
woman there that I fell In lpv.e with
years ago, and I haven't fallen out
with her yet.

HEARD a beau-
tiful story the
other day about
an afflicted father,
a loving daughter,
and a piano.
It seems that
the father had
long wished his
daughter to be-
come a proficient
performer on the
piano, and the
daughter, distrust-
ing ber own capa-
bilities, had made
up her mind that
she could never
play wel) enough
to make her de-
votion of hours
and hours of prac-
tice worth while.
Suddenly, and
warning, her father
almost without ■ - - ...
was stricken with blindness, and then
the daughter, taking a leaf out of Dick-
ens. determined to piny Wt to hls
Caleb, and she bought a piano piayer
ou the instalment plan.
iler father had been away for some
weeks when the automatic pUyor
came to the house, and upon his re
turn she said to him: "Father, dear.
would you like to hear some music.
And her fatKer said: "I wnuld, in-
deed, daughter. IF you can plsy some
for me. 1 want to s-e if you have im-
proved during my absence."
So the old gentleman sat himself
down on the sofa and turned his ear
toward the piano, and the daughter
nut a Hungarian Rhapsody by .Lis"
In its place and started the Mehan is™.
When she cafne to an end her fa-
ther called her to him and kissed her
upon her forehead and fWd her
cheek and Bflid: "What a dear little
thing it it and how ..mil'1 " loves
to pleaso its papa. Pmlere ve mc.ht
interpcet it differently but he could
not play it any faster."
And while the daughter"? j - de aba

tween them, her father sa t -rsaugn

He turned toward her and eontin- he really ia.

marriage service you were hade part-

partnership in the flrs^ place he has
some rights.
If you must bullyrag him be sure
that you do it in the quiet (or tumult)
of your own home. This baiting of a
husband in public, while It may afford
food for laughter on the part of the
groundlings, cin btit make the Ju-
dicious grieve.
A large woman leading around a
smaU-puppy ia always a ridiculous
sight. .
If you make a ptippy of your hus-
band and accompany him out of even-
ings, remember that some of the aft-
er laughter will be-expended upon you.
If he is a piu>py feed him well, treat
him kindly—and perhaps he will be-
come a Jolly dog.
But do not live a comic supplement
life with him, because the comic pa-
per habit is so general in this coun-
try and the .types are so firmly ground-
ed In the minds of even tbe young that
you will be recognized at sight, and
depend upon it, all the sympathy will
