IN DAF KEST IRELAND. Mr. Hugh Sutherland’s Masterly Presentation of the Irish Cause. The North American is publishing a 8 ries of letters by Hugh Sutherland on conditions socialindustrinl and politica! ns they are in Ireland. The fir-t article wns printed lrecember 8 and was followed by others which, for graphic description and masterly presentation of facts, have no parallel in reeent news- paper writing, They will conmtinne until the subject is full exploited. Mr. Sutherland is familinr to newspaper renders. Ax Commission for The North American to the Boer Republic in the concluding days of Kruger’s Presidency, as a stafl correspondent for the same paper in the mining districts of Pennsylvania, his work attracted widest popular interest as well as the clo-est consideration of the students of economics, politicaland otherwise. Mr. Sutherland is conservative and of the widest intelligence. His articles are of unique interest, as they are characteriz- ed by truth. Prejudice, either for or against a master-ridden race, does not enter into the work. So far as one of blood and flesh may do so, Mr. Suther- land has divested himself of human sympathy and gives the plan cold facts of the situation. Ireland’s wrongs, her real constitutional injuries and her oppressed state have not been told of Jate. Government espionage, the cer- tainty of a term in jail, social and busi- ness boycott operate as a press censor- ship in Great Britain as though, if less direct, as in autocratic Russia. News- papers dare not print, correspondents dare not tell the story of Ireland’s woes. Public speech is a felony, the printing of a Nationalist newspaper in Ireland a crime without defense. In order known, therefore, The North American commissioned Mr. Sutherland as chief of an expidition into Darkest Ireland. that the truth might be | ¢ the greatest political revolutions the world has experienced. one that is a talking place without the world being aware of it. Fortanately for contem- poraneous history, there is Mr. Souther- land to write and The North American to print the story, rtf fees ee A President on randy for Sickness.

The Pennsylvania State College has for a number of years been conducting for the benefit of the farmers of this state, correspondence courses in agri- culture. The present year the College is offering courses in thirty different subjects. Each course consists of from five to ten lessons on the subject treated. While each is complete in itself, these courses may be conveniently arranged in groups according to the special phase of agriculture of which they treat. Arrangingthem in these groups, it is found that there are eight courses in General Agriculture, seven courses in Animal Industry, four courses in Horticulture, six courses in Dairying and five miscellaneous courses. The student is required to report on each lesson before the following lesson of the course is sent him, in order that the instructor may judge of his prepar- ation and ability to proceed further with the work. Tuition is free in all of these courses, and most of them are given independent of text books, the only expense of any kind to the student being for paper on which to make his report and postage on these reports as sent in to the College. In order to obtain the benefit of these courses it is necessary that students make formal application for enroliment to the ‘Superintendent of the Correspondence Courses, State College, Centre County, Pa. Report from the Reform School. J. G. Gluck, Superintendent, Prunty- town, W. Va., writes : “After trying all other advertised cough medicines we have decided to use Foley’s Honey and Tar exclusively in the West Vir- ginia Reform School. I find it the most effective and absolutely harm- less.” E. H. Miller. Sheriff-elect Coleman will employ Bruce McGriff, of Somerset, for his deputy, and Wm. Begley, of Somerset township, to assist in his work outside of the office. Both are very good men and will prove themselves wvaluable assistants of a very good sheriff. When a farmer who saw a football game the other day was asked about it by a neighbor, he said: *“Neothin’ to tell. Just let twenty big hogs out on a soft field any day and then throw down a peck or so of corn in a sack and see ’em go for it, and you'll know “bout what a game of football looks like to a farmer. Only the hogs don’t cripple each other quite so badly.”—Ex. Milton and Richard Beachy started for Esbon, Kans, last Wednesday morning. They went as far as Fair- bury. where they were reached by tele- phone message stating that their mother. Grandma Beachy, had taken sick very suddenly in the afternoon; so they returned on the evening train finding their mother somewhat improv- ed and out of danger by the next morn- ing, when they resumed their journey home. —Carleton (Neb.)

In two weeks he ate $1.50 worth of the cure, and for the next two weeks he used ten cents worth of Yueatan, five cents worth of candy, and five cents worth of cough drops per day. During these two weeks he consumed two large rubber erasers, ate the rubber tips from four- teen lead pencils, chewed up a dozen penholders and browsed off his mus- tache as high as he could reach. He is now chewing tobacco in the interest of economy.—Ex. le The Boy Got the Job. A merchant on Chestnut street has become very fond of an office boy he engaged last June, says the Philadel- phia “Ledger.” The boy entered early in the morning, when the merchant was reading the paper. The latter glanced up and went on reading with- out speaking. After three minutes. the boy said : “Excuse me—but I’m in a hurry!” “What do you want?” he was asked. *A job” “You do? business, hurry.” “Got to hurry,” replied the boy. ‘Left school yesterday to go to work and haven’t struck anything yet. 1 can’t waste time.
