HER EYE,
Farmer jHodge (reading nov
elette) —I’m out of all patience
with that Gladys Fitzall»yn in
the story —*be way she's abusing
her beautifully eyes. She dosn’t
deserve to have none.
Farmer Hodge—this book is
fu'l of it. First she threw her eyes
up to the ceiling, and then let
them drop io the floor; then she
darted them down a long corridor
and rested them on the cool waters
of the lagoon.
Thm she must have called them
back somehow, for it says she
bathed them in sad, salt tears
wiped them, and swept them with
long lashes. Once she was fool
enough to rivet them on the doom
and when I left off she was fixing
them on a mtn'el. —Vogue.

There’s one thing I notice and
must remark upon, and that is the
miserable failure Atlanta makes when
she goes into the Governor making

great town, but she has not out

FROM ( AKIN TO CASTLE.
A recent nsws item in the New
York .Herald affords a striking
illuitraton of the possibilities ot
life in this wonderful country.
Thirty years ago Thomas Nevins,
a ''oor farmer’s boy on the estate
of Lord Killeen in County Meath.
Ireland, came over to this country
to seek his fortune. He settled nt
Orange, N J. became a contractor
for street, building and railway
work, and in the course of time he
accumulated many millions of
dollars.
A few months ago Nevins got.
the idea into his head that U would
be a fine thing to purchase the
historic castle uuder the shadow
of whose feudal towers he had la
bored in his days of poverty. He
found that tha present Lord Kil
leen was in need of money aud
.finally succeeded in persuading
him to sell his residence for S3OO,
000.
And so the ancient stronghold
is now the property of a man who
would not have been admitted
within the gates thirty years ago.
It was built in the eleventh cen
tury, and shel’ered the cowardly
King John before his barons bull
dozed him into signing the great
charter.
The story «hows what a men
cau do iu this country. Mauy a
•foreigner, like Nevin« eomes here
poor and unknown, and before he
dies makes fame and fortune, But
do you ever hear of a penniless
American laborer going to Ireland
or to England and then coming
back with money enough to pur
chase one of the Vanderbilt or
Astor palaces? There is no such
case on record. The goldeu prize
tor brains, pluck and industry
must be Bought for in this land of
promise, where every man has a
fair feld aud a fighting chauce, —
