The Word “Poultry.” Poultry, according to the definition glven in one standard encyclopedia, In cludes “the whole of the domestlcated birds reclaimed by man for the sake of their flesh and their eggs.” The word coraes from the Latin “pullus,” which could ‘mean a young horse or donkey as well as a chick (lhe English “foal™ is akin to this). through the French “poule”” a fowl. But it Is curious that " has' no French version, the equivalent being “volaflle,” or “aiseapx de basse cour,” birds of the low yard. German in its descriptive why “knows poultry as “federvich.” feather cattle.

Lurle.] T wor just this wise, yis: Me aunt’s sicond cousin, Rory O'Bran- nigan, an’ betoken it wor me great-aunt by merringe an' not me own blood relation at all, at all, an’ it wor the talk av the county at the time av it, an’ thot’s thrue for yez, {an’ it wor a Leprechaun as done it. Lizzie McFadden wor her name. Och, there's a gell at the Dbottom av all things as goes wrong, to be sure, an’ she’s name wor Elizabeth, after the blissid saint, an’ Rory wor he's name, an' she's name wor Lizzie for short. Lizzie wor a purty gell, wid two eyes as black as sloes an’ hair so black an' shiny thot it wor like the gown Lady Morris wore to mass. An' the two cheeks av her! O, wirra, but they wor rid, ridder nor roses nor a robin’s brist, an' her lips matched ’em. Oh, aye; she wor a swate, purty gell, an’ sassy an' imperent! Her tongue it wor hung in the middle an’ loose at both inds, wid honey on one ind an’ a sting in the other. Sometimes she would sting first an’ put the honey on after, but more times she'd honey yez all up till yez t'ought she wor all honey, an’ thin yez'd git the sting av it, an’ it wud keep yez on tinterhooks to know fwhat wor comin’ nixt. So, as 1 sid, Rory O’Brannigan wor did in love wid her, but sorra’s the day! He wor thot distrissed thot he have nothin’ in the wide wurruld but the two hands av him, a big, strong linnet an’ two blue eyes filled wid div- eltry an’ fun. Yis, he wor In love wid Lizzie, but vo one ivver t'ought body, a curly yellow hid like a singin’ | kippers briled, an’—oh, 1 cuddent tell ley, ‘wheré Rory wurreked sometimes. They wor just as black as a crow an’ loike the pictures av harses in books. My, but thelr tails an’ manes wor long an’ floated in the wind soft an’ free. Nivver wor two harses finer to look at danecin’ an' runnin’, too, when let. | My, but they wor fine harses, an’ it Is a pity, so it wor! Yis, I'm comin’ to thot. As I say, Lizzie wouldn’t let Garge, the harse, be selled, an’ so he wor took to Kerry an’ ealled Lizzie’s harse, So whin her feyther wor merried wid the widdy she wint for to live wid thim, but she soon seen she wor un- wilcome, an’ like a jutiful gell she say she will marry Pat, so whin the bit av a house wor done an’ plenished she wor cried in church three Sundays, an’ thin she say she would be merried undher her own roof on New Year's or not at all, at all, So, thin, seein’ as she wor so detar- mined, the rist they give in, an’ all the intoire neighborhood kem to the little new house to see the weddin’ wid Pat McGowan. We all farmed a percession an’ walked along the road, an’ Lizzie wor drissed in a fine white gown fwhat Lady Morris give her, but she wor whiter nor her driss, an’ I seen her movin’ her lips all along the road like she wor talkin’ wid some one we cuddent see. She looked like she wor aslape. Whin we all kem to the dure av the feyther’s house an’ wor walkin’ along decorous an’ quiet Rory O'Brannigan wor standin’ by it. an’ whin Lizzie passed him by wid a strange kin® av look he say nivver a word, but he's face look like a cold corpus. He look at Lizzie, but she nivver raise her eyes | to him. All the company had gathered at her fayther’s farrum, where her stipmoth- er had made a foine faste for all. There wor flitches av bacon biled wid cabbage, baked praties, an' butter ga- lore, an’ hot cakes, an' milk an’ but- termilk, an’ spareribs, an’ bloaters, an’ you in a wake—an' scones, an' fine white bread, an’ tay, an’ whusky for the askin’. ws deery ‘ g W&vwhfis. she ivver encouraged him, for wid all her scornful ways an’ stingin’ spache she wor a discrate, well conducted gell. rig’'lar to her juty an' up betimes for first mass. She wor maid to Lady Morris foive year come Candlemas, an’ jurin’ thot time she kipt comp’ny wid no wan at all, at all. Whin Lady Morris died Lizzie kem home to remain wid her feyther, an’ the auld spalpeen wor a widdy man, an’ he seen a widdy wo- man in Kerry wid a foine shnug farrum, an’ he an’ she wor goin’ to be merried nixt Lady day. The widdy cuddent abide to have a young geil about, an’ spechul one so purty as Lizzie, for it made her look twinty years aulder. Yis, so thin she bediveled the auld mon-—the omadhoun!—to see Feyther McCarthy an' have him pick out a husbun’ for her. An’ bechune ’em they fixed on Pat McGowan, the widdy’s own nevvy, God hilp us, so she do. Now, Lizzie wor cliver, an’ betimes whin worrekin’ for Lady Morris as her own maid she had mony a shillin’ an’ ha' crown give her, for there wor foine doin’s an lashions av comp’ny, an’ Lizzie wor nate an’ purty, an’ so they all made her foine prisints too. She saved this anbeknownst to ony wan, for she t'ought if she quitted liv- in’ out an’ kem home to worrek on the farrum she’d airn her keep. It is told thot afther her foive years av sarvice. settin’ aside her reg'lar wages fwhat she give to her feyther, she had as mooch as fifty pound. Yis, an’ well, thin, her feyther. the widdy an' Feyther McCarthy an’ all the neighbors urged Pat McGowan on her, marnin’, noon an’ night. An' he kem about wid he’s hat on the side av his hid an’ a dandherin’ av he's shillalah an’ a boastin’ av all the proplity he'd have whin he’s aunt died. He wor the blackguardliest lookin’ hunk av mate yez'd foind in the six counties. Lizzie she sayed but little, for she wor outnumbered, yez see, but thim thot knowed her from a baby an’ thot wor not blinded loike her feyther an’ Feyther Francis McCarthy, who hilt out for Pat, cud see as she ‘wor not happy. But she wor too proud to ivver let ony. won see it. An’, to crown it all, Rory lift the place, an’ nobody knowed where he wint. ‘Whin Lizzie promised her feyther he built her a shmall house about two mile from the widdy’s farm, on the edge of the highroad to the valley an’ the nixt town. He sold his holdin’s in the auld place an' all he had to move to the widdy’s whin they wor mar- ried—all but wan harse. Lizzie made so much fuss over this an’ cried so harrud thot the auld spalpeen av a feyther milted an’ kep’ it for Lizzie. It hadn’t its aquil in all Kerry, savin’ wan, an’ thot wor he’s full brother, an’ thot belonged to a man far up the val- pourin’ whusky intil he’s glass an’ intil Whin Tt growed dusk av the twilight there wor to be the merriage an’ the | ingatherin’. An’ the first fire wor to be made on the hearth. Feyther Francis had a little altar fixed on the big chist ay drawers, an’ Lizzie suddint would have it thot the ceremony shuddent begin till on the stroke av twilve, just as the New Year wor comin’ in. So she wor thot obstinate thot no one cud control her, an’ instid av the merriage bein’ at twilight it wor set for twilve, an’ she would have it thot they should dance at her feyther’s—all | av thim thot could shake a leg. Auld Pat Rafferty wor the fiddler, an' Andy McGraw wor the piper, an’ they wint at it hot fut. All the wimmin say it wor dangerous for to go through the roads bechune half past elivin an’ twilve, for the Leprechauns are out thin, an’ sorra’s the day for the bride they catch! It wor two miles to the little house from the big farm, an’ at last all wor ready to start. Danny Dooly kerried the burnin’ turf for to start the new foire, an’ they -wor all singin’ an’ dancin’ along. Feyther Francis wor pretty well set up, for Lizzie she kep’ he’s cup av tay till he didn’t know fwhat he wor takin’, tay or whusky. An’ the clark he wor put on the don- key, an’ one av the min hilt him on jurin’ the ride. They wor all dancin’ an’ crackin’ jJokes all the way till they kem to the house. Thin Danny an’ Mary Riley wint an’ got down on their marra- bones an’ bullt the fire. The bride she wor on her big black harse Garge, an’ Pat wor ridin’ near, an’ thim fwhat had donkeys an’ harses rode thim an’ ‘fwhat didn’t walked. An’ fwhat wid the darkness an’ the confusion no one cud see his felly to know him. An’ whin they kem to the deepest shaddy av the hills an’ trees there kem in among thim a dark man on a big black harse, an’ no one knowed who it wor, an’ Garge, Lizzie’s harse, whimpered, an’ so did the other wan, an’, bein' flerce an’ mettlesome, they begln to rare an’ dance, an’ all the rest got away as fast as they cud, for the big rider av the other black harse niver sald no wurrud nor even “God save yez all,” as a Christian ought, an’ so we knowed after thot it wor the Lepre- chaun. Leprechauns, as yez know, are the wicked fairfes thot watch out an’ steal brides away from their hus- bands jurin’ the dancin’ or whilst they are goin’ to the new home. They carry thim aff to the wild glins, an’ they're nivver heared av ag’in. Lizzie sid nivver a wurrud to no- body, an’ whin thej wor in the darkest spot the big black harse danced along be the side av Garge, an’ some says they heard mutterin’ talk, but this is not sure. Whin the party kem to the house the big biack Iume wor gmle, an’ nobody seen Llm go nor heard hlm But he wor gone. Lizzie she.say nivver a wurred to nobody. but wint in the house an’ left Garge tied wid the rist. She pat he’s head first an’ whisper somethin’ to him. She know there wor no mate for him in Kerry for the long stride, long wind an’ injurance but he’s own full-brother, an' he wor sold away. So Lizzie jump to the ground an’ wint in an’ stud ferninst the foire, holdin’ out her han’s to the blaze. Nora Kelley she say afterward thot Lizzie had the look av wan as had seen a banshee, The feyther an’ stipmother an’ Fey- ther Francis wor a comin’ in the carry- all, an’ thot wor slower an’ had not come yit. Lizzie she go to her bidroom an’ put aff ber fine gown an' put on a warm wan, sayin' she wor cold, an’ she had ber hud an’ long. cloak tied on the barse, an’ there they stayed. Pat Mec- Gowan wor more than half seas over fwhat wid the toastin’, an’ Lizzie she nivver dance a stip, an' she the light- est futted gell in Kerry. Lizzie wor standin’ like a did wan, wid a shmile like it wor carved in white stone. The feyther an’ mother an’ the praste wor not yit kem, but Lizzie she start an’ say she see her feyther’s face at the windy, an’ she go out, sayin’ nothin’ to nobody, but Wid- dy Shaughnessy- she say it wor the Leprechaun as done it to get her out, an’ she wor gone afore ony wan tought to tell her, In a minute we heered barses’ hoofs poundin’ on the road, an’ they wor gone. It wor the Leprechaun as took her feyther's features to beguile her out, an’ thin he t'run her on he’s own harse, an’ hers wor obliged to folly. TLepre- chauns ‘is compellin’ like the little p’aple, an’ so Lizzie rode away wid him. Many young brides are beguiled away loike thot, spechully if they be purty, wid the enchantments, Tirst we wor all scared an’ dared not move, an' thin Pat he say, “A hunner pound to him as catches thim!” But who can catch a Leprechaun? No wan. Feyther Francis an’ the feyther an’ mother kem just thin, an’ the good praste say go; an' thim as had holy relies wor safe. But whin they go to get on their harses, sure, they wor all tied together fasht id a bran new rope thot wor nivver made wid human hands. An' before they wor untied it wor too late, for no one cud hear a soun’ from no direction. An’ we all knowed thot now Lizzie wor in the deeps av the bog beyant an’ no one would ivver see her ag’in. So we all stayed in the little house till day,"an' whin we wint out all we cud fin’ wor the hoof prints av two barses. Three months after Pat died wid a sickness. He wor allus a hard drink- er, an" now he done nothin’ else sence Lizzie wor kerried aff by the Lepre- chaun till he kem to see awful visions sint by thie bewitchments av the Lepre- chauns. ~ Fwhat bekem av Rory O’Brannigan? Well, it wor nivver rightly understood, but he disappeared thot same noight. -He had no call to come tc the weddin’, for nobody axed him, an’ he nivver seeked out Lizzie to coort her, nor she didn’t shmoile at him nivver, but he wor nivver seen-in Kerry ony morve. Some t'ought as maybe the Lepre- [ chauns done away wid him. Did we ivver bear from him at all? Faith, the;'e wor a mon av Kerry thot wint to Ameriky, an' he kem back to take the auld p'aple wid him, an’ he say he seen Rory in New Yark, an’ he wor a polaceman wid a club as big as yer arrum an’ wid gool’ buttons on he’s coat an’ a hat like a basin, on'y all white. But sure that cuddent be thrue, for they cuddent take harses wid "em uwor shwim the say. Yis, it wor the Leprechauns as took Lizzie. - Ohe Footpad and the Colonel. A New Year's Sketch weere By C. B. Letwis..... [Copyright, 1907, by C. B. Lewis.] HEN Colonel Ransome was held up by a footpad in the suburbs New Year's night he quietly handed over $30 in cash and said: “My friend, I make no kick. I have the reputation of being a good fellow and of having ready money. On this blessed New Year's day I counted up ten notes 1 had indorsed for friends within a twelvemonth past. I had each and every one to pay. In addi- tion I had a list of twenty-two men who borrowed from $5 to $20 and for- got to pay it back. I had fully made up my mind it was cheaper and bet- ter for me to be held up on the high- way.” “There’s something in that,” mused the footpad as he lingered. “More than you see at first glance. Not only would it be cheaper, but it would save my circle of friends. By lending and indorsing I lost a score of them last year. It is also more sat- isfactory in another way. What a rob- ber robs me of is gone, and I don’t worry over_it. What I lend I must wonder if I will ever get back. You have no feeling against me because you have robbed me, eh?” “None, sir, unless it be a feeling ot respect and gratitude.” “That’s it. Now, then, had you bor- rowed $15 of me. and neglected to re- turn it you would not only drop out of my list of friends, but you would go around with a feeling that I had actu- ally wronged you.” “I see. You either return a loan and are grateful or you beat the man out of it and dislike him because you have wronged him. I've been right there m a dozen instances.” “And.now about the highway rob- ber,” continued the colonel as he of- fered the man a cigar and a light. “You may wonder that I don't warn you against such a career and advise you to reform. There are several rea- sons for my action. In the first place, you are giving the public a squarer deal than the so called friend who bor- rows your cash or wants to use your name. He is a hypocrite, prévaricator ;:.d general beat; you are ouly a rob- “In the second place, you can only get what little money a-man happens to have in his pocket, and you ask for no outside favors. In the third place, the man who reforms is more danger- ous than he was before. I had a clerk who stole §5 and reformed, and the first thing I knew he got away with $50. “That’s about all, my friend. So long as you rob people in fairly good English and without unnecessary vio- lence you are something of a novelty and a good deal of a boon.” A Snapgy_Conversation.

IT 1S SERIOUS, Some Bemidji People Fail to Realize 1he Seriousness. The constant aching of a bad back, The weariness, the tired feeling, The pains and aches of kidney ills Are serious if neglected. Dangerous urinary trouble fol- low. A Bemidji citizen shows you how to avoid them. Clark Roberts, living at goo American Ave., ' Bemidji, Minn., says: ‘I suffered severely for two or three years with a pain in the small of my back. The pain would come on very suddenly and last fer two or three weeks, caus ing me much msery and discom- fort while it lasted. The kidney secretions were dark and unnat- ural in appearance, and there was much soreness across the kidney regions. 1 went to the Owl Drug Store and produred a_box of Doan’s Kidney Pills. After using them a short time I began feeling very much better. I have not suffered from any trouble with my kidneys since.
