We might assert as o truism that Ireland is probably the most inquired into and probably the most unfortu- nate country on the face of the globe. She 1s the most inquired into because her history is so full of events and beseeching appeals. And, most unfor- tunate, perhaps, from the circum- stances of her geographical and politi- cal_relationship. Turn back, then, 100 years or so, with me, to the last days of a simple politi- cal connection with England, and you will find that this trail which has scrawled 5o many pages of her history had glhided off, bad swiveled off, as it were, and leff at least a few decent pages in what is known as the Gratton chapter or Grattan period. ‘What that period produced T will not undertake to enumerate.

He is anticipating some busy times after the license time ex- pires, as there is sure to be a large number of dogs whose owners will buy licenses for but will trust to luck that they escape the dog warden. A point that some owners forget or @isregard is that the licensed dog must wear his tag to be protected. It is not enough to have the tag home on the mantelpiece or in'a bureau drawer.
