In contact with all sorts and conditions of humanity. I found the same old class distinctions still In vogue, and I suppose always will be.

VIII work In the good "old way, viz: The tourist must not leave this good Mow with scythe and rake with hand old land of Saint Patrick without ruke, but It seems with the majority that time is no object, and what was irood enough for their ancestors is good enough for them. Nevertheless I saw quite a number of American machines for sale and I presume A well known mixture made In I.a Grande, the Blue Mountain Cough syrup. Try It. Red Cross drug (tors I'ncle Bam will get them sold all O. J k. i - , r, I wonder how some of our western people would like to work for 24 cents per diem and yet I have seen men work all day for shilling, Brit lull, wHh one or two meals thrown In. t fancy I hear some of our people y, "l would not do it." Well, if they were ill the . same predicament they would have to starve. It seems the people have been ground down io Inntf, that all their ambition has evaporated and they at leant huve be come resigned to their lot in life. In such a state of affairs cun you won der at those who have ambition left, to try and get awuy from such a con dition. I trow not. While I was there they were leaving the hundreds per month, and mostly for the United States or Canada; some to the Aus tralian colonies, and some to South Africa. And now In regard . to the land tenure.. Since the home rule agitation the government has voted so - tunny millions for the purchase of large es tates and sell them to the farmers, charging them 4 per cent, and even tually the farmer will own his hold ing. It Is something like tho deferred payment system, If I understand rlKhtly. In 11104 the government set aside M,000,(K)0 fr this objert, so you see In time there will be the "possibility" of a happy future for irelund, especially If the people will cant nslde the ohl-tlme antagonism tinn live in harmony, one with the ither. But as long us that old party feeling prevails, so long will then be tumult and disorder. There Is only one way to accomplish this de--drablt) end and that Is for people to live the roynl law and do unto others us they'd like others to do unto them. seeing the various places of Interest, such as tho Lakes of Kiliarney, the Wlcklow mountains, and by the way, they need not be afraid to pay a visit there, as I think all the wild Irish have been caught. Ha, ha! The scenery Is rugged and beautiful, and well worth a trip. Then there Is the meeting of the waters In the beauti ful Vale of Avoca, where Tom Moore was inspired to white his poem of that name. And again, there's the Blarney stone, high up In the wall of Castle Blarney, In County Cork. By kissing that stone all people Inclined to be tongue tied may become fluent you've kissed the Blarney stone." And now there Is one of the won ders of the world, the noted Giants' Causeway up in the northeastern part ol lile IslullU, in me county Auuiiu, snld county being . the birthplace of our lute lamented President William AIcKinley. Many and various are the theories of the formation of the Causeway, but I. think it Is, still a mystery. There's the great Causeway and little Cause way. Tills Is a most wonderful work of nature. The rocks seem as if they were hewn by the hands of man. They are concave and convex, placed side by shle. and are quite smooth. No doubt they are the action of. the elements. There are about 60,000 of them, as fur as can be seen, and all I can say Is that It Is truly magnifl cent ami worthy of all commendation as a wonder of nnture. There are the beautiful cafes, three in number, but they can only be entered on a calm day, as the Ingress Is from the ocean As It happened, Father Neptune was In his happiest mood the tlay'l visit ed, and after securing a boat manned by two of the natives we entered the iirsi cave, which Is named "Port coon." After getting well In we could see tho bottom, which was covered with beautiful, sll'-ery sand. The height of the rave Is 90 feet, and It is seamed with colored rock, Klvlng It a rich and beautiful appear- coughs tCIWG OF CURES colds THE WONDER WORKER FOR THROAT ICING AND LUNGS FOR COUGHS AND COLPS PREVENTS PKEUfilONIl I had the most debilltatlng'cough a mortal was ever afflicted with, and my friends expected that when I left my bed it would surely be for my grave.

Remington Typewriter Company 249 Stark StrectlPortland, Oregon a pistol for our edification, that we might enjoy the echo, and on com ing out he held a ning pole with a bug attachment at the end of it to hold our offering in payment for the echo. Of course, we did not disap point htm, und he was made hnppy In proportion to the amount he received. We visited another and largest cave, called Dunkerry. It was like the other, only more grand and massive. On coming out Into the open sea we got a fine view of The Organ, the Lovers' Leap, Wishing Chair, Chim ney Pot, etc. On landing I was Introduced to the Wishing Well and the patron saint. "In the shape of nn old lady" who graciously presented me with a glass of water, at the same time telling me :ny v, ls!i uo.ikl be granted, for which I donated a silver piece to her sulnt ship. It may interest you to hear the pcasnnts' theory of the Causeway, which is as follows: An Irish giant, one Fin Mat'ool, having a dare to en gage in battle with the Scotch giant of his day, and as the Scotchman could not come to irelund, Fin built the Causeway. Hut when Fin saw the Scotch giant coming and noted his tremendous size, he ran to his house and asked his wife to cover him up with the bedclothes, and when the Scott Inquired for Fin, his wife told him for the love of the Virgin don't wake the child, for If Fin heard It cry and found you were the cause. Arrah, shure he'd murder you en tirely. The Scot looked and seeing the huge bulk In the bed, thought that was his child, what must Fin he like? so concluded he'd got a sudden call home and ho "got." llefoie leaving Ireland duty called me to the city of Dublin,, the capital. and I found It the same old city I had known 30 years ago, with the excep tion of the electric cars, and by tne way. In riding from O'Connors mon ument to the Phoenix park In these same cars, I found one of my senses that I thought lost for a long time. I mean my sense of smell, for I got a waft from the river Llffey, that gave me an assurance that all my senses were In force, and I can assure you there was nothing of the perfume ot Araby the blest, in that waft. Before leaving I visited one of .the largest breweries in the world, I mean Guinness'. It Is large affair, and I should say an up-to-date concern. Its buildings cover nine acres, and they supply a guide to show visitors through and describe the various pro cesses of Stout making. The British government first knighted Mr. Guln nesa and then created him a Peer of the Realm under the title of Lord Iveah. 8o you see there Is something In the manufacture of Stout other than Llffey water. , And. now t must. bid farewell to my many friends of the ever green Isle, the land of hospitable homes and wsrm. Impulsive hearts, and shall ever keep In .remembrance the friend ship shown, and which I hope always to retain, for those that live on the shamrock shore. Adieu. ALEX LINDdAt. Palmer House ror Sale.
