' How Patrick Saved the Bank!
An Irish Folk Tale
By (•lunii HicKuut
SH'*
(Copyright, by Joseph B. Bowles.)
It’i mighty wonderful If you have
never heard tell of how Patrick saved
the bank.
Ye see It waa this way. The Bank
of Ireland was at that time owned by
a man named O'Toole, who was
a great grandson's great grandson of
King O'Toole. He was a mean fel-
low, who didn’t take after his ances-
tors; and the devil tempted him to
covet making a tremendous pile of
money, all at one haul. So he em-
ployed a sea captain and sent him off
on a voyage round the whole known
world, to find where and how the most
money was to be made, upon a spec-
ulation of any particular description.
And this sea captain Bailed for the
three years and three days,- returning
back, at the end of It, to tell his mas-
ter that, In the South sea islands, the
natives would give their one eye—if
they had only one—for scalpeens
(salted mackerels), and he suid that
there was loads of money to be made
by sending out a venture of that
commodity there.
O’Toole he Jumped with joy when
he heard this, and he not only gath-
ered every penny he owned himself,
and likewise every penny that was
, invested in the bank with him; but.
moreover, he sent messengers, east
and west in Ireland, for to notify
every man who hud a shilling of
money put by in old stockings, for
to fetch it to him, and lend it to
him for a year und a duy, and at the
end of that time he would pay them
back double.
And the amount of money he took
in, on loans, In three weeks, was a
miraculous sight.
Well, the year and a day wore
round, and every man, woman and
child in Ireland that had a penny In-
vested in tl\p Hank of Ireland walked
up to Dublin, at the end of the time,
to draw their money and their inter-
est; but lo and behold ye, the sea
captain and bla fleet hadn't re-
turned
Andy O’Toole he asked of the peo-
ple to five Just ten days sparln's, and
hts fleet would be in. What to do he
didn't know, for he was sore afraid
that the fleet would not be In within
the ten days.
So he sent private messengers
throughout all the land, and gathered
up to Dublin at once every great and
clever man that could be found, and
here and then offered each man
his weight in gold, when the
boats would come home, If they could
Invent some plan of saving himself
and saving his bank till the arrival of
the fleet
But all of the plans put together, if
they were tried, couldn’t save two
slates on the bank.
Now there was at this time In the
far parts of Donegal a poor mun
who went by the name of Dark Pat-
rick, by reason that he was dark vis-
aged, and had u black head and a
black beard, and he was noted for
sound sense.
Now it was on the very last day of
the Hank of Ireland’s sparln's that
Dark Patrick arrived In Dublin, and,
finding it was so late, didn't even
wait to look for lodgings or get a
pick to ate, but inquired his way to
the Hank of Ireland, and to the coun-
cil chamber in It.
O’Toole welcomed Dark Patrick,
and he told him that, as all the oth-
ers had failed him, and ns the worst
had come to the worst, it was no
harm for him to have his try.
Dark Patrick bowed gravely, und he
Inquired of O'Toole, and satisfied him-
self that the fleet was, sure enough,
safely on Its way, and couldn't be far
from the coast of Ireland now, and
. that It carried loads and lashln's of
money to pay, and double pay, all
claims. And, when he was contented
on this point, he asked O'Toole what
wsb the most money. In gold and sli-
ver, he could, by any means, obtain,
bag, borrow, or In any ways come
honestly by.
O'Toole said that he owed a hun-
dred thousand pounds, and that the
most money he could now obtain, beg
or borrow, to pay off his debt, would
be £1,000.
‘What," says Dark Patrick, says he,
proceeding to the window, and look-
ing at the houses opposite, "what is
that establishment that I see oppo-
site me?”
“That establishment," says O'Toole,
days he, “Is a manufactory of horny
buttons.”
"Well an’ good," says Dark Pat-
rick, "1 now want you to do three
things”
"Name them,” says O’Toole.
‘ They are," says Dark Patrick,
"that. In the first place, you'll hire—
at any money—for this day that man-
ufactdry opposite, and have it com-
pletely cleared out instantaneously
And the text thing that you gut mo
at once 50 trustworthy men, with
00 picks and shovels, whom you can
gely your life upon. And, In the third
place, get me ten herring barrels.
Can you do all these things?" says
Dark Patrick.
O’Toole considered with himself
for a minute, and then he says des-
perately: "I'm prepared to do us you
direct."
In short time O'Toole had engaged
the manufactory opposite and turned
M Inside out. He had brought Dark
Patrick the 60 men with the 50 picks
and shovels, and the ten nernng nur-
rell, and he atood by to see what In
the pame of wonder the next move
was going to be.
"Now,” said Dark Patrick, says he,
*'I want you to start 20 of these
men In the cellar of thlB hank, and
20 more In the cellar of the manu-
factory opposite, working for life and
death, cutting a passage under the
•treet from the one collar to the other
cellar, and they are to fill the ten bar-
rels to within half an Inch of the lip
With the clay they take out. The
thousand pounds In gold and silver,
and the other ten men," says he, "Is
to coma with me."
Then across the street he started,
and while the men in the cellars be-
low were working like the fury, cut-
ting their way under the street from
house to house, Dark Patrick got the
other ten men to start the fires In
the factory, and he got ten frying
pans and put them on the fires, and
he got hammers and anvils, and he
set them on a bench that ran along
the window looking Into the street.
On the frying pans he emptied the !
bags of gold and sliver, making the
men blow the bellows like murder till
the coins were red hot, and ho then
started them carrying the frying pans, J
full of coin, to the bench und beating
the coins on the anvils, nicely and
lightly, with little hummers, opening ■
the windows at the same time so that
the noise would get propuiiy into the
street—where the crowd now wns !
gathering at n tremendous rate in
front of the bank, und instructing the
beaters thnt they were to make all 1
the clatter and clang and jingle that j
they could
The passage underneath the street
was soon completed. Then ten herJ
ring barrels filled within an Inch of
of lip were fetched up; they were
filled up with a couple of layers of
hot coins—some of the barrels with
gold coins und others of them with
silver—and while some of the men
went on with the frying of the coins,
and some with the beating upon the
anvils at the window, the remainder
were started In pairs, with hand-
sticks, to carry the barrels as fast
as they could across the street to the
bank
And as fast as the men entered the
bank with the barrels of money they
carried them back just as fast as the
underground passage, so that when
the lust barrel was going In of the
bank door the first was coming out,
again out of the door of the manufac-
tory, and there was one continual
string of barrels of freBh gold and sll-

Get out and keep out of debt.
Don’t let the Upas of debt get you

Get better seeds and better breeds.
The manufacturer sometimes throws
away almost new machinery In order
to Install something better. The farm-
er Bliould take the hint.
The time now is for the ulitization
of the low grade cottons for wrapping
the crop. This will dispose of the
low grades and at the suine time will
afford a better protection than the
Jute.
There never has been a time when
the trade did not demand a smaller
bale, more securely wrapped and
handler to handle In transportation.
The big square presses, backed up
by compress interests, will die hard,
but they are doomed to go, and with
them will go the iniquity of half-
covered and clumsy packages that are
the type of wastefulness and careless-
ness There Is no sense In wasting
a large per cent of the cotton In keep-
ing up a mere fad.
That man who hns no home and
does not care to own one Is u mighty
poor citizen in nny community. He
has nothing at stake in the weal or
woe of the country, for when things i water, apd the rest is easy,
get tough he moves on and counts
that ho has lost nothing.
Were Fetched Up,
ver coins streaming across the street
from the manufactory to the bank.
And. when the people heard this,
their uiuuzement was a wonder to be-
hold
Some of them wore sent In to draw
tlielr money, and report to the others
upon whnt they observed. And when
they came back with tlielr money on
plates smoking hot. they said how
that the barrels of gold and silver
were going down to the cellars, in a
string, to he stored there, and, by this
time there must have gone in a thou-
sand barrels if there went one. And
their money, they said, had been
served across the counter to them
upon iron scoops, for no man could
hnndlo it, yet while it was boiling.
When the people heard this, not
only would they not draw their own
money, which they had In it, as
they were now greedier than ever for
the big interest, but those of them
that had just drawn it out, went
back with their plates again and de-
posited it.
O'Toole, the banker, was a glad-
hearted man that day, and, for the
first time in three weeks, closed his
eyes in sound sleep that night. Dark;
Patrick, at his special entreaty, re-
mained with him for three days long-
er, till his mackerel fleet came safely
In.
And it Is said that It took 300
men, three days and three nights, car-
rying off the fleet, tnto the bank, the
bags of gold that they had brought
buck with them In exchange for the
scalpeens; so that O'Toole was able
to pay off, with double and treble
compound interest, every creditor he
had In Ireland.
It was him was the elated man
then. I tell you. He nearly threw
himself at the feet of Dark Patrick,
and he asked him to name the size of
his reward.
"Well,” said Dark Patrick. ‘I'll ask
as a reward that you’ll never again
risk the money of the poor people of
the country”
And O'Toole promised that he never
would, nor did he.
Say, boys, how wany of you are
keeping an account of tho dost nnd
the profits of your different crops?
Our word for it, if you will try this

In the urine. I haven’t

that was three years

the most acute agony
during a gravel attack,

GHOSTS PLAY MANY PRANKS.
The tag on tlie warehouse bale is
nil the guarantee that the spinner
wants to assure him of the kind of
cotton he is getting. That tag tells
where the cotton Is from, who weigh-
ed and graded it and the name of the
mun who rulsed and sold it.
Don't worry so much about the fine
j court hous'e as you do about, a good
j road leading to the nearest railroad
station. It is the farmer lhat has to
use the public road, and as he has to
pay the bill he ought to pay for good
roads and tilings that benefit him and
! ids family. He needs good roads, be-
cause he can not have good schools
without good roads, he can not market
to advantage without good roads, and*
every time he turns, around the road
Is the first thing he needs.
There Is no such thing as discour-
agement among Union men. There is
room for apprehension from the rap-
id growth. There is danger that more
people will be absorbed in the order
than can be assimiiuted. In other
words, It Is possible to get so many
new people who are largely Ignorant
of the work and principles of the order
that they will cause confusion. Time
and patience will remedy even this
trouble.
It Is the tendency of nature to heal
nnd gloss over tho things of the past.
When the storm king has riven the
oak and rendered the land desolate,
kind nature, as if sorrowing for the
suffering, places a growth of moss
nnd runners over the bodies of the
prostrate victims, and transforms
them from ghnstly reminders of
wreck nnd ruin Into visions of hope
and beauty. It is the same with the
Intellectual man. When time moves
on his onward march, we nre soon for-
getful of the keenness of our former
disuppotntments and sorrows. There
Is a sort of a glamor about the past
that makes us forgetful of the disad-
vantages nnd tlie hardships of the pe-
riod. How often do we hear the old-,
timers tell of tho "good, old, honest
days" of the long ago! It Is all stuff.
They have simply allowed nature, and
it was for the best, to cover over all
the ugliness and tlie hardness of the
past. The world Is as full of good
men nnd women as It ever was. The
truth is, there Is less of cruelty and
Inhumanity now than ever In the
world's history, nnd men are getting
better. The law of universal brother-
hood Is spreading. The need to be
governed by the Golden Rule Is grow-
ing more nnd more to be a business
maxim. Tills may not be ro much
on account of any innate betterment,
but it Is just n business proposition.
Of course, there is sin and misery;
there is want and there Is destitution,
but Its severity is growing less and
less severe. The sun is shining for
all who stand out from under the
shadows, and in the open.
The home and those who make It
are what this world has to offer a
light-minded man. There should be
nothing to come between the home
and its makers and their right con-
duct and happiness. Whenever some-
thing comes up that would Intrude
into the happiness and welfare of
the home, root It up wtthout hesita-
tion. Take away the purity and the
joy of a home and there is no Incen-
tive for striving that is worthy of a
clean manhood left In the world. Live
for the home, and it will live for you;
honor the home above all else, and It
will honor you and prosper you.
MERCURY MUSINGS.
Has it ever occurred to you that the
farmers of your section can better af-
ford to build a warehouse than not to
build? The losses sustained by not
having the advantages and protection
afforded by a warehouse, would pay
for the warehouse In a single season.
Tho loss sustained by cotton growers
from damaged cotton is something
enormous. Besides, under the ware-
house system you are not obliged to
auction off your cotton at any old
price.

Grab Rope from Bellringer and Cut
Down Trees,
Ghostly happenings have disturbed
the town of Kirkwall, tlie capital of
the county of Orkney. On Wednes-
day night, says the London Daily Mail,
the wife of the bellringer went to St.
Magnus cathedral to sound the curfew
at eight o'clock. This is an ancient
custom still observed in the burgh.
The bell had been tolled for less than
a minute, when, it is alleged, a figure
suddenly appeared at the woman’s
side, snatched her hands from the
rope and as mysteriously disappeared.
Another morning 20 trees which
a few years ago were planted in
front of the cathedral were found to
have been cut down. The night was
a calm one, with brilliant moonlight,
and the trees were standing at one
o'clock in the morning.
Hundreds of windows have an out-
look on the spot, and many people who
were still astir at three o'clock in
the morning did not hear the slightest
sound outside. Yet an hour later
every tree had been destroyed. The
police are baffled.

Sometimes It happens that the
woman is to blame for the fact that
she is not treated good by her hus-
band. Sometimes she ought to have
the backbone to stand up and demand
her rights and a square deal in the
distribution of the family earnings.
Of course, there are those women who
are not entitled to a decent husband,
but it must not be overlooked that
there are a whole lot of male bipeds
.hat do not deserve any sort of a
•vlfe.
As men coine more and more to un-
derstand the object of life, the little
farm well tilled grows Into greater fa-
vor and grows more numerous. There
Is plenty of room In the world for all
the petfple In the world, and the time
Is coming when men will know and
understand that the lowliest has as
much right to the things nature has
provided as has the powerful, who
have In all the ages past "ruied .y
Alight.”

of beauty by surrounding and cover-

rare and curious flowers that are the
best and the prettiest. The moon
flower and the cypress vine are
things of beauty, and they grow wild
everywhere In the South. The old-
fashioned roses are still at the head
of tho flower procession, and rose
plants may be had for the asking any-

Are you giving “the old woman” a
square deal? You are getting all the
new and Improved tools and labor-
saving devices for the field, but how
about the house aud tho kitchen?
How about tho wash-day troubles?
Have you fixed up a good handy place
for tho family laundryIng? It’s but-
tons to beans that you haven't, and
yet you strut around like a peacock
and get mad If some one happens to
forget that you nre In hearing dis-
tance and tell what a mean man you
are. Treat the good woman right, or
else get out among the snakes and
frogs where you belong.
Don’t ever get the idea Into your
head that the farmer Is not as much
ot a business man as Is the merchant.
He may not have so many dealings
and he will not handle so much mon-
ey ns the merchant, but at the end of
the year his books ought to show that
he has made as much on his Invest-
ment ns the merchant hus made on a
similar investment, and If he has not
the gain to show, he ought to look
around and see wherein he has failed
to make good. Yob, sir, the farmer is
a business man when he Is a business
man.
There Is no sense In the cotton rais-

great general organization, to divide
itself for action Into aa many subdi-

The cotton rulsers may look specially

One of the Important Duties of Physicians and
the Well-Informed of the World
is to learn as to the relative standing and reliability of the leading manufactur-
ers of^ medicinal agents, as the most eminent physicians are the most careful as to
the uniform quality and perfect purity of remedies prescribed by them, and it is well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed generally that the California Fig Syrup
Co., by reason of its correct methods and perfect equipment and the ethical character of
its product has attained to the high standing in scientific and commercial circles which
is accorded to successful and reliable houses only, and, therefore, that the name of the
Company has become a guarantee of the excellence of its remedy.
TRUTH AND QUALITY
appeal to the Well-Informed in every walk of life and are essential to permanent suc-
cess and creditable standing, therefore we wish to call the attention of all who would
enjoy good health, with its blessings, to the fact that it involves the question of right
living with all the term implies. With proper knowledge of what is best each hour
of recreation, of enjoyment, of contemplation and of effort may be made to contribute
to that end and the use of medicines dispensed with generally to great advantage, but
as in many instances a simple, wholesome remedy may be invaluable if taken at the
proper time, the California Fig Syrup Co. feels that it is alike important to present
truthfully the subject and to supply the one perfect laxative remedy which has won
the appoval of physicians and the world-wide acceptance of the Well-Informed because
of the excellence of the combination, known to all, and the original method of manufac-
ture, which is known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
This valuable remedy has been long and favorably known under the name of—
Syrup of Figs—and has attained to world-wide acceptance as the most excellent of
family laxatives, and as its pure laxative principles, obtained from Senna, are well
known to physicians and the Well-Informed of the world to be the best of natural
laxatives, we have adopted the more elaborate name of—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
Senna—as more fully descriptive of the remedy, but doubtless it will always be
called for by the shorter name of Syrup of Figs—and to get its beneficial effects always
note, when purchasing, the full name of the Company — California Fig Syrup Co._
plainly printed on the front of every package, whether you simply call for — Syrup'of
Figs—or by the full name—Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna—as—Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna — is the one laxative remedy manufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. and the same heretofore known by the name — Syrup of Figs — which has given
satisfaction to millions. The genuine is for sale by all leading druggists throughout
the United States in original packages of one size only, the regular price of which
is fifty cents per bottle.
. Every bottle is sold under the general guarantee of the Company, filed with the
Secretary of Agriculture, at Washington, D. C., that the remedy is not adulterated or
misbranded within the meaning of the Food and Drugs Act, June 30th, 1906
