"He was a fine, big man. well liked by the boys. He had a good time living, barring an occasional experience at home, and when he died everybody regretted It, except, perhaps, his wife, Mrs. Honoriah Emmeline Clancy, who was Miss Norah Emma Brody before she took up with Clancy. 'Twas .a great courtship, but Clancy won out in the end, and money changed hands on the outcome. Clancy lived five years after his marriage; but no ? ? ? ?V? 1 nnm. man or woman ever uraiu ...... w... plain. One day Clancy crept back to see why a fuse hadn't reached and a rock caved his ribs in. The doctor told him he had to die and he took it without a twitch to his eyes. He lay still a minute and then he called his best friend, Red Shaughenssy,. to him. Red told me afterward how it went. " 'Red,' said he, weak as a kitten; but smiling. 'I'm goin to doi.' " 'Jack,' said Red, 'ye are.' " 'Red,' said Clancy, 'ye've alius been me best frind. Will ye promise me wan thing that ye'll do fer me afther I'm gone?" " 'Thot I will,' replied Shaughnessy, with a weep in his voice. "Then Clancy said: 'There a thing thot's long been layin' hivy on me sowl, Red. Do ye molnd Tim Crinnian?' "'Him do I,' said Red. .'He put the dirthy wur-rd av spite upon ye whin ye took from him the prisint Mrs. Clancy and married her.' " 'He did thot. Red,' said Clancy, weaker and weaker.

Here are a few samples of the absurdities arising out of the extreme simplicity of some Irish folk: A young man came to confess to an Irish priest in London whose experiences of the humors of his fellow-countrymen would fill a book. "Well, my man," said the priest, "and how do you earn your living?" "I'm an acrobat, your riverence." The priest was nonplused. "I'll show ye what I mean in ? r\f OHQVog * QQM th#* nf*nitpnt. and in a moment was turning himself inside out in the most approved acrobatic fashion in and out of the pews. An old woman who had followed him to confession looked on horrified. "When it comes to my turn, father," she gasped, "for the love of God don't put a penance on me like that. It 'ud be the death of me." I think it was the same good father who, observing the regular attendance at a Lent mission had done nothing to reform one of his parishioners, told him so and asked him the reason of it. "Ah, father," he replied, "I can manage the faith right enough; but the morals bate me." On another occasion this priest was called upon to marry a man of whom he knew nothing, to a girl of his congregation. On investigation he found the would be bridegroom's knowledge of the Catholic faith very limited. "Have you ever been baptized?" he asked. "Well, father, I can't trust me memory to that." "Are your parents living?" "The mother is." "Let's have her address." This was given and a telegram dispatched to the old lady on the spot, reply paid. The answer came in due course. "Vaccinated, but not baptized."?A Kerry Man in London Spectator. What He Wanted to Say.?A few days ago. Mr. Taylor was absent from his drug store for a few minutes and left hia wife in charge. A large Nor wegian, who spoke English with difficulty. entered and said: "Hi owe de firm 10 cents.' "Very well," replied Mrs. Taylor; "just pay it to me and it will be all right." The Norwegian made no attempt to produce the coin, but gazed steadily at Mrs. Taylor and repeated: "Hi owe de firm 10 cents." "Yes, I heard you say that before. Now, if you are afraid I will give you a receipt for it." In astonishment the man from Norway looked at her and walked out without a word. Pretty soon he returned with a fellow countryman whose command of English was a little better and who interpreted the remark to Mrs. Taylor by explaining; "He wants 10 cents' worth of iodoform."?

LESSON Xltl.SECONDQUARTER,INTERNATIONAL SERIES, JUNE 29. Text of the Lesson, a Comprehensive Quarterly Review ? Golden Text. Lake II. U!2?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1902, by American Press Association.] Lesson' I.?Saul of Tarsus converted (Acts Ix. 1-20). Golden Text, Acts 111, 19, "Repent ye. therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out." Saul had an excellent character and standing in the eyes of his fellows and in his own estimation, but a sight of Jesus made him count it all as dross (Phil. lii. 4-11). lie was wholly submitted to the risen Christ from the day of his conversion. Lesson II.?Peter. Eneas and Dorcas (Acts ix. 32-43). Golden Text. Acts ix, 34. "Jesus Christ maketh thee whole." The healing of Eneas and the raising to life of Dorcas each led to a great many turning to the Lord and believing in Him (verses 35. 42). Peter was the instrument in the Lord's hand, but it was God who wrought mightily through him by the Holy Spirit in the name of the Lord Jesus (Qui. 11, 8). Lesson III.? Peter and Cornelius (Acts x. 34-48). Golden Text. Acts x, 34. "God is no respecter of persons." The church thus fur was gathered only from the Jews, but it was the purpose of God to gather an elect company out of all nations, and the parting commission was to preach the gospel in all the world (Matt, xxviii, 19; Mark xvl, 15; Acts I, 8; Rev. v, 9. 10). Lesson IV.? Gentiles received Into the church (Acts xi. 1-18). Golden Text. Acts x. 43. "Whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins." The apostles at Jerusalem, hearing ?1 -1 Knr.n.mn/I nnrl nnt tinripr WUIll UilU Uii|J|nTiicu uuu .... standing the will of the tord. contend with Peter because he went to the unclrcuincised, but wheu Peter rehearsed the matter to thein and told how God had ordered and done it all and that he was only God's willing instrument, then they were quieted and glorified God. Lesson V.?The church at Antioch in Syria (Acts xi. 19-30). Golden Text Acts xl, 21, "The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned unto the Lord." Tffey hear of it in Jerusalem, and Barnabas. being sent, a man full of the Holy Ghost and of faith, he is glad to see the grace of God and gives them good counsel. Lesson VI. ? Peter delivered from prisou (Acts xli. 1-9). Golden Text. Ps. xxxlv. 7. "The angel of the Lord enen mpoth round about them that fear Him and delivcreth them." This lesson takes us back to Jerusalem, where we find that James, the brother of John, lias Just been beheaded, and Peter Is held in prison probably awaiting the same fate. The church in its helplessness gives Itself to earnest and unceasing prayer, and. to their great surprise. Peter Is delivered by an angel. and some of his enemies are slain. Lesson VII.?The early Christian missionaries (Acts xiii. 1-12). Golden Text, Matt, xxviii. 19. "Go ye, therefore. and teacb all nations." The pur- I pose of the Lord is that from the na-1 tions He may gather a people for His name (Acts xv. 14). This He does by His Spirit through His word by means nt Tviiiin.r nmi Snirit filled messengers. Lesson VIII.?Paul at Antioch in Pisidia (Acts xiil. 43-52). Goldeu Text, Acts xiii. 38. "Through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins." With some opposition and some encouragement the apostles have come as far as this other Antioch and are here invited to preach on the Sabbath day In the synagogue. Paul, as was his custom, faithfully declares that Jesus of Nazareth is the Sod of God, Israel's Messiah, that He was crucitied, raised from the dead, ascended to heaven and that now through Him Is forgiveness of ull sins and justification from all things. Lesson IX.?Paul at Lystra (Acts xiv, 8-22). Golden Text. II Tim. II, 3, "Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." Although they abode a long time at Iconium, speaking boldly in the Lord, and a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed, yet they had to flee from Iconium. and they came to Lystra. where at first there was unprecedented enthusiasm and then such opposition that Paul was stoned and left for dead. But God gave him back to them, and they went on and preached the gospel. Lesson X.?The council at Jerusalem (Acts xv. 22-33). Golden Text. Gal. v, 1, "Stand fast, therefore, in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free." We have seen persecutions from without the churfch, even unto death, and now we see false teachers within the church seeking to hinder the gospel. The great enemy is always at work and will be till he shall be shut up in '* -?x /n i o? me pu mev. xx, i-oi. Lesson XL?Paul crosses to Europe (Acts xvl, 6-15). Golden Text Acts xxil, 15, "Thou shalt be His witness unto all men." In this lesson we see an Illustration of at least these three texts. "Led by the Spirit of God," "Do as occasion serve thee, for God is with thee." "My word shall not return unto me void" (Koiu. viil, 14; I Sam. x, 7; lsa. lv, 11). Lesson XII. ? A temperance lesson (Rom. xiii, 8-14). Golden Text Rom. xiii. 12, "Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the urmor of light." The whole story of salvation and service and glory is fully told in this epistle and summarized in this lesson, but the special point which the committee desires emphasized is the denial of self that Christ may be manifested. God enthroned. God working. Spirit filled, Jesus occupied and self thus renounced. Jt".'

Dt ing this period the child shows i markable precocity in learning t mother tongue and appears to lea two languages as easily as one. will learn a foreign language, thrown among foreigners, better dt ing these first six years than he c in a complete course in school. T1 is proved by the thousands of 6-yei olds in this city who speak good Er lish, while their parents cannot spe English at all. The strenuous effort of these lit ones to acquire a medium for the f pression of their quaint ideas, as w as their desire to speak correctly, w shown the other day in a conversati between a little student and her mai ma. The child had experienced inu difficulty in mastering the varlu forms of the verb "to be," and h been corrected times without number * by the mother, who believes that the ? time to teach correct English Is during the first stages of progress. The child persisted In mixing her "ams," re "were' and "beens" to an alarming degree, and had been corrected until the mother had lost all patience and 11- at last told the child that In the fune ture she would not answer questions lis not properly framed, thinking this ?r, plan would make the child more career ful in the selection of words. an The other day the mother was sitgS ting crochetting a jacket for the baby ,m and Lucille stood near, wondering what her mamma was doing.

Moore, chief of the >an(j weather bureau at Washington, has perfected a very valuable machine ^ which should make the hottest summei endurable in the most torrid clime. II t is an apparatus for cooling the atmosn(j phere in houses and it may be used foi (ty commercial purposes as a cold storage he plant. The machine is described in sj . dispatch from Washington to the New ? York Sun as follows: a lre The gravity apparatus for cooling . dwellings, Invented by Prof. Willis L Moore, chief of the weather bureau i i D| patents for which were recently secured, was placed in operation for public ( demonstration today. The machine looks like a cylinder stove, and the in. _ ventor says it will fn time come to be , considered as essential to the comfort ed of a dwelling in summer as heating apj paratus in winter. Prof. Moore says that the cost of cooling a given space with this machine is approximately the ! aomo anap#J " same as mai 01 neauug n?^ ?n" by means of a stove or furnace. Be*r" sides this, the different uses to which J"j the machine may be put are unlimited, He expects it to prove of great value to hospitals, particularly for reducing the 119 temparature of wards in which fever patients are confined, and in addition a* to its use for cooling residences and hoier tels, he says he solves the problem ol individual cold storage. iat Prof. Moore's invention, in adition tc reducing temperature, washes, cleanses 'y and renders the air dry and healthful. e>' Hot air, filled with dust, is taken intc a the machine at a temperature of nearly ?'s 100 degrees and expelled almost in*9 stantly at a temperature of 30 degrees L'n and with its relative humidity lessened UP by more than half. The machine operates, as its name implies, on the prin)e" ciple of gravity. That is, it makes use of the difference in weight between ait a at a high and a low temperature. It is, ^ moreover, automatic. It requires nc et^ motive power and is self-adjusting, * When the weather is very hot the machine works faster than when it is only as moderately warm, and when the weather is temperate the machine ceases its ns operations altogether. It is necessary p" to change the machine only once a day, preferably in the morning, and then il as will automatically keep the dwelling ir which it is placed at a cool, even ternperature. kA^ '* * ?.111 lllro of At'DQ The gravity cooler, wm, mvw m1 be manufactured In all sizes from a as small affair corresponding to a stove lo? designed to heat one room to an im110 mense syclinder, corresponding to a dry ra' heat furnace and capable of effectually lt and quickly cooling every part of a nt' large dwelling. Prof. Moore only re*1" cently secured his patents and yesterday was the first day the machine ha? ip" been in operation at the weather buhe reau. no Secretary of Agriculture Wilson had heard of Prof. Moore's machine and and walked to the weather bureau frorr church yesterday morning. Mr. Wilsor was warm after his walk and told Prof Moore he wanted to be "cooled off.' He was taken to the room where th< machine was in operation and a few minutes later buttoned up his coat and *1* remarked that he did not care to b( 'ht frozen to death in summer. The majr_ chine in operation at the weather bure reau is much too large for the room ir he which it is placed and makes the roonr rn feel like the cold storage department ol He n nar-kinc? house. It is of the size in if tended for a hospital ward and wai ir- built for experimental purposes, an Prof. Moore says that as soon as the his foreign patents are granted he will ir- make public the formula of the compoig sition with which the machine is chargak cd. He said, however, that the composition contained no ammonia, nor any tie of the usual ingredients of ordinary 'X- freezing mixtures. The reporter looked ell into a sliding door of the cylinder and as saw a lot of little wheels, pipes and on slowly turning machinery, which. Prof, m- Moore explained, all depended upon tht oh principle of gravity for motion. The tojj us of the brass cylinder was perfectly ad dry, while the bottom was coated with ' frost and Ice, the temperature of the air being: graduated through the various compartments of the cylinder, from about 90 degrees, when it entered, through a pipe at the top, until it was discharged at 30 degrees. An anemometer placed at the discharge pipe showed that the machine was giving off 200 cubic feet of air a minute, or 12,000 feet 1 an hour. The room in which the ma1 chine was in operation contained 4,000 cubic feet of air, and although the doors were being opened and closad every few minutes the temperature re mained below 60 dgrees and tne room was much too cold for comfort. WHAT ONE VOTE DID. A Ballot l>y a Dying: Man Bronfrht on the War With Mexico. Victor Hugo said that a few drops more or less of rain would have changed the result at Waterloo and transformed the map of Europe. It is in the nature of events that the most mo( mentous consequences follow trifling causes, and no human brain can forecast what would flow from modifications in the plans of genius, which of I themselves have scarce a feather's 1 weight. Something like 60 years ago a man | lay dying in a cabin in the backwoods of Indiana. His physician had pro( nounced his doom, and the victim knew there was no escaping it, though his ailment was that Insidious, deceptive disease, consumption. "It's all right," said this palld sufferer in his rasping, husky voice; "I'm close to the Divide and nothing can [ stop me from crossing over, but you | must keep things going for?say, doc, tor, how far off is election?"?weakly | turning his head and fixing his unnaturally bright eyes upon his attendant.

"The most that I can promise is to j use my best efforts; you may drop off before that time and you may linger , for several weeks?no, days." "I don't care for a single day beyond election; what I want and will have is the strength to ride to the polls at next election. You know why?" asked the patient, with a grin. The doctor nodded u-lthnn* onoQlflnc A couple of years before, the sufferer ; was involved In a scrimmage in which j he killed another man. He was placed on trial and the evidence would have convicted him but for the skill of his t counsel, Daniel Kelso, who brought . his acquittal. Kelso was now the Dem ocrtic candidate for the state senate of > Indiana, in one of the closest districts t in the country. He could not afford tol r throw away a single vote, and this man, dying with consumption, was de, termined to live long enough to cast his ballot for the lawyer who had saved him from a disgraceful death. [ And he did it. It was a striking ex. ample of the triumph of will over bod, lly weakness. Swathed in blankets, the . wasted skeleton was lifted into a car, riage, driven slowly for several miles on a chilly day to the polls, where he i i SOUT RAIL I THB GREA'i or TMjtDE J > Vmitimg Um Prin Caatara and Hot Saiorta of lha Soi NORTH, EAS l^k.CU*a Vaatibala Trai batwaaa Vaw Tavk and OlaoiaaaM aaad Flaaika Aihav&lla.

The sympathetic bystanders cheered the poor fellow, who was taken back to his humble home, where he collapsed and lived but a few hours. That single vote elected Daniel Kelso state senator from Switzerland county. Ind.?a fact which appears In the official records of the year 1843. The burning question at that time before the country was the admission of Texas into the Union. The south favored it, for it would increase the slave area Immensely, and for the same reason the north bitterly opposed the step. Moreover, It was certain that it the step was taken it would bring: on a war with Masico. The fire was smouldering and required but a slight fanning to break into uncontrolable flame. Our neighbor was determined to obtain possession of Texas and would not agree to the boundary line claimed by her, in which claim she was upheld by the United States. Texas contended that she owned the territory as far south as the Rio Grande, while Mexico maintained that her ownership ceased at the Neuces. Many unprejudiced persons claimed that, at best, the admission of Texas would prove of doubt ful advantage, since the word "Texas" was only "Taxes," with the letters in different positions. It may be well to note here the half-forgotten legend that, after Texas became ours, our government asked Mexico to name the bonus which she would accept for taking her back, and Mexico shook her head and replied, "Nay, nay." But that war a Joke. * The legislature to which Daniel Kelso was elected was called upon to choose a United States senator. The regular Democratic candidate announced himself as opposed to the admission of Texas. This so exasperated Kelso that he bounced out of the caucus, taking with him a friend, and swore that he would hold out till the crack of doom before casting a vote for the disloyal candidate, his friend standing by him. Their action deadlocked the legislature, which met day after day, only to adjourn without accomplishing any ining oy iih uanming. n ma; u<= .imagined what a lively time Kelso and his comrade had, and what means was taken to whip them into line. They were threatened, promised, cajoled, argued with, smiled, scowled upon, and evep threatened with personal violence, but both stood like a rock. "Gentlemen," Anally said Kelso, with compressed lips, "we are all anxious to perform our constitutional duty?that of electing a United States senator; and there is one single way and only one by which It can be brought about. Edward A. Hannlgan represents out views and is a sound Democrat; the choice must be either he or the Whig candidate." The situation was precisely as stated by Kelso. Edward Hannlgan took his seat in congress. The bill for the admission of Texas passed the senate by a single vote and that was cast by Hannlgan. That such action would have been taken ultimately by congress was a part of the logic of events; but had Hannlgan voted the other way, the measure would have failed for the time being. It Is therefore an historical fact that the vote of a dying man in the backwoods of Indiana, brought on the war with Mexico.?Los Angeles Times.
