While I was waiting for one of my neighbors to sign for the Courier the olhre day, just from what he said I made up my mind he wanted to use the Democrat and Republican parties for mak ing a great big lake with lots of water going in but no outlet to it for the socialists to run their gasoline launch on, for eevery time he referred to them they were connected in some way with a dam-u. Where He Was On St Patrick's Day In the Morning By NORA B. SHEA It was tUo evening before St. Pat rick's day, 1705, In Ireland. The moon was at the full and shoue with unusu al brightness. Dentils O'Donohue, a young man of twenty-two, mounted on a black mare, was trotting on a road between KUlarney and Tralee oa his way to a ball at the latter place. Sud denly catching sight of a light some distance from tue road, he drew rein and thrust bis baud In under bis waist coat to pull his watch from his fob. It was not there, and he remembered that be had left it at home. Now, what he wished his watch for was to note the time that he might de cide whether to attempt something that popped Into his head at seeing the light referred to. In the house where It shone lived Eileen Mavoumcen, a young girl whom Dennis would have gladly wooed had he been permitted to do so. Dennis was Inclined to be a trifle wild, and Eileen wus warned by her parents to bave nothing to do with him. Nevertheless the young mnn was es pecially attractive to girls-. He was tall and lithe, and a uinns of light curls fell down over his shoulders. Tender hearted to a fault, It was suspected that for the benefit of others In dis tress he had trespussod on the law by taking a purse on the hlgliwuy. The O'Grady, a rich landowner, hud been topped one night on the road, and Inter one of bis tenants, a poor woman for whose eviction lie had given orders, paid the rent In coins, one of which, a pockot piece. The O'drndy recognized as having been taken from him by the highwayman. The story got abroad that Dennis O'Donohue, sympathizing with the woman, had robbed the land lord and grven tlio money to his ten ant to save her from eviction. That the robbery had taken place for that very purpose wns true, but Dennis O'Donohue bad nothing to do with it. It occurred to Dennis that he would love to take lOllecn with him to the ball at Tralee, Her father and mother wore elderly people, and It was their custom to go to bed nt 0 o'clock every night. It might be possible to take her with him and bring her buck without their knowing of her absence. The hour was about I), but be did not know wheUicr it was a little before or a little after 0. ne dare not go before and did not like to lose time by going too long after. While he was deliberating ho heard the sound of borso's hoofs coming from the direction of Tralee. He would await the rider's coming and ask the time. A man on horseback drew near, and when ho came up Dennis said In a mild volco: "I beg your pardon for stopping you, air, but would you tell me what o'clock it is?" Dennis' back was to the moon, while the horseman faced It, and Dennis rec ognized The O'Grady. The O'Grady hesitated. The voice sounded like that of O'Donohue, by whom he believed be hud been robbed. Dennis' horse was restless and, turning, exposed Denuls' face to the moon. The O'Orndy thrust his bund under his coat ns If to take out his watch, but Instead drew a pis tol and, pointing It at Dennis' hend, said: t Jsjiuio, for you to move on, Deu- THE SECRET OF LONG LIFE. Do not tap the tprings ol life by neglect of the humia mechanism, by llowinf the ooumulation of ponona in the system. An imitation ol Nature's method ol restoring waste of tissue and impoverishment of the blood and nervous strength is to take an alterative glyoerio extraot (without alcohol) ol Golden Seal and Oreion grapa root, Uioodroot, Stone and Mandrake root with Cherrybarlc. Over 40 years r'. r,"oe 've to.,he publio ""' "medy, which he called Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. He lound it would help the blood in taking up the proper ele ments from food, help the liver into aotivity, thereby throwing out the poisons Irom the blood and vitalizing the whole system as well as allaying and soothing a cough. No one ever takes cold unless oonstipated, or exhsuited, and having what we tail oiBi-nuinuon.wnicn la attended with impoverished blood and exhaustion ol nerve loroe. The " Discovery" is an all round tonio which restores tone to the blood, nerves and heart by imitating Nature's methods of restoring waste ol tissue, and ceding the nerves, heart and lungs on rich red blood.

Twice is once too often for you to rob the same person!" With this, still covering Dennis with bis pistol, he urged on his horse, leav lng Dennis standing la the road mute with astonishment. Dennis knew at once that this evidence against blm, taken with the suspicion of another robbery, would convict him of being highwayman, and that meant either lornr imprisonment or death. He thought of taking The O'Grady's ad vice and, riding over to Cork, take ship for Virginia. Instead be concluded to ride over to see Eileen and tell her what bad occurred. This would lessen the blow to her, and she could explain the matter to his father and mother. The hour now made no difference to hlni, so he put spurs to his horse and on reaching the gate threw the bridle rein over n picket nnd went up the walk to the bouse Tiptoeing on to the porch, he saw Eileen sitting alone in the living room. A tap on the win dow arrested her attention, and. turn Ing, she jaw Dennis' face against the pane. Tutting her finger to her Hps, she went softly to the door and led him into the room. "What Is It. Dentils?" she asked, alarmed at his rueful appearance. "Have your father and mother gone to bed?" he whispered. "Yes." Dennis told his story, finishing by saying that he saw no hope for him but to co to Virginia. Eileen s coun tenance fell at this. She stood think fcig. "Why don't you prove an alibi, Den uis?" she asked presently. "An alibi?" "Yes. The magistrate will have only The O'Grady's word that he met you on the road. If you can prove you were somewhere else bis evidence will be worthless." "But how can I do that!" "Have you a good horse?" "No better Id Ireland. I borrowed my friend Mike Bhauneasy's mare. Bbe's not only won races for blm, but has great endurance." "Well, ride all night, and In the morning talk with some one you can get for a witness to testify that you were with him." "On tho morning of St. Patrick's day! Ah, Eileen you're a Jewel!" And so after a dozen kisses Dennis remounted the mare and nwny lie went In the moonlight. Hiding on to Tralee, which place he made In half an hour, be took a road lending north eastward to Limerick. It Is Just fifty miles from Traleo to Limerick. It would not do to ask for relays of horses, for this might give away the secret of his ride. It was 10 o'clock when he started. Ho rode thirty miles of the distance, rested his horse for two hours, then went on, reaching Limerick at 7 In the morning. But Instend of going Into the town he left It on his right and, crossing the river Shannon, struck out for Ennla, some twenty miles farther on. But he had no Idea of using the mare to do this distance and, now that he was so far from home, concluded to leave her with a farmer and take a fresh mount. This he did and at 10 o'clock In the morning rode up to an Inn In Ennls. Tho bells were ringing for mass, and Dennis Joined a throng going to the church. Seeing a priest going from his house to (he church. Dennis Joined him and snld: "Father, I desire to make a contribu tion on this blessed day of our patron saint, nnd I beg of you to receive It." To this the priest agreed, nnd Den nis gave hlni his contribution. "Now, father," said Dennis, "will yon tell nie the time?" "There's a clock In the tower of the church beyond. You can see for your self." "I'm nearsighted. Will you use your own eyes for me?" "It's 10 o'clock and 25 minutes." "Are you sure?" "I am." "And I'm giving yon 20 shillings for a contribution to the church at twenty five minutes past 10 on the morning of St. Patrick's day, and don't you forget It." "I'll not do that," said tho priest. Denuls went back to the inn, ate a good breakfast and, bis horse having boon fed, mounted and rode back to where he had left the mare. She, too, hud been rested sulllclcntry to go on toward borne, but at a slow gait Den bis reached KUlarney that night and the next morning appeared on tin street laughing and talking with his friends with bis usual good nature. When The O'Grady heard that Den nis had remained to face a charge of robbery on the highway he made a charge against him, and Dennis was arrested, much to his apparent sur prise. When the prisoner was brought before tbe magistrate for examination the charge was read and be was asked whether he pleaded guilty or not guilty. "I could hardly be guilty, your wor ship," replied Dennis, "seeing that I was not where the chargo specifies at a time when my accuser was stopped." "Where were you?" "I was In Ennls, your worship." "That's seventy miles away. At what time were you In Ennls?" "I was there on the morning of St. Patrick's day," "Can you prove that?" "Yes, your worship." "By whom?" "By. witness who saw me there at Dennis was given opportunity to bring bis witness to Klllnruey, and when a priest of tbe church testified thut the prisoner gave blm on St. Pat rick's day, at 10:25 in the morulng, 20 shillings, no one dared gainsay the truth of tbe statement. There was but one Inference to be made, which was that The O'Grady was mistaken In bis man. Nevertheless The O'Grady was not only sure that Dennis was the -person that he bad met on tbe highway, but was sure that be bad Intended to rob him. If he had had no such design he would have admitted his identity and disclaimed any Intention except to learn the time. The nccuser blustered and asked for time to prove that the alibi was a put up Job. but those pres ent at the trial considered this a mark of disrespect for the priest who had given testimony, and the magistrate denied the request. Dennis was ac quitted and carried out of the court on the shoulders of his friends. Now, Eileen Mnvourneen's father was a "good old Irish gentleman, one of the rare old stock." nnd, though he certainly would not bave n highway man for a son-in-law. lie wus highly appreciative of the shrewdness of his race. During Dennis' Imprisonment he constantly reminded his daughter tbut he had been right about her lover from the first. Eileen said nothing till after Dentils was acquitted, when she told her father the whole story The old gentleman Inuclied all that day and, since he did not l!l;e The O'Grady over much, vowed that the defense was the smartest trick that had ever been perpetrated in the coun ty. He told Eileen to bring Dennis to dinner that he might hear the story from his own lips. Dennis came, and the old gentleman was much pleased with the energy and rapidity of his movement, but when be heard that Eileen hud proposed the plan he was delighted and, taking bis daughter In his arms, told her that so long headed a girl must be better able to choose a husband for herself than her father ?ou!d choose for her. For long nfter that when Dennis would meet her acquaintances he would be greeted by: Dennis O'Donohue, where were ye on St Patrick's day in the morning?" A SPENDTHRIFT WIFE. Bave you read the story or seen the play "Tbe Spendthrift?" It tells the tale of a husband a get and broken before his time by the ex travagance of a spendthrift wife. Tbe woman In the case Is pretty and winsome, but frivolous, willful and selfish. She Is not the vampire who de- Jlberately sucks the last drop of blood. Nevertheless, by her lack of serious thought, she takes all Htie can get from her man and then, like Oliver Twist, holds up her plate for more. She will not understand. The husband strains every nerve to get money. He warns his wife and tells her they must ecouomlze, that be la on the verge of bankruptcy, where at she sweetly promises to be more careful. She proposes that to save money they take n trip to Europe, where living Is cheaper. She has no conception of the value of money. Finally tbe thoughtless creature. after trying to borrow money of a rich old aunt, accepts a loan from a notori ous society rake. She Is not bad only foolish. By and by tbe wife comes to ber senses. Sue bravely accepts poverty and through struggle learns ber les ion and comes to appreciate ber bus band. But the pity of it! She cannot restore that husband's youth and vigor. It was spent be cause of her careless wastefulness. Overdrawn? Scarcely. A wife may be foolishly prodigal of ber hiisbnnd's Income, whether It be $1,000 or $I0.(HK). She knows he does not waul her to think him stingy, and when, taking ad vantage of Ills love, she lures hlni into spending or herself spends more than his Income she Is leading blm-nnd her self Into certain and dire ruin. A close student of modern marriage has declared that seven tenths of do mestic unbnppliiess Is caused, directly or indirectly, by money matters. Extravagance is the one crying soclul and economic evil of our day. Tbe overweeulng wish to own ex pensive things merely because others have them, the craze for display, the silly aspiration for recognition tu arti ficial social circles these are at the bottom of much of tbe unrest aud dis satisfaction of modern married life. 1912 MARCH 1912 a I M 1 f W I T I F I 8" 1 1 I I f2" 1011 1215141516 1718192021223 1227128129,50 (SSI To SUCC ;crss iLuu Builders of Homes.
