The percsnnel "of tho Provision a l Com, :-.u Redmond's endeavours to utili;;-c the Irish Volunteers as a British E}.:p8di~ona::yForce need not be taken into serious -ccnsideration.

If a man"s argumeets are right they ere right, no matter who the man may b-e, or what his position, nut to s~.ate that a person may not be Iisteoed to because be does not happen to he a member of Parliameut is utter Tubhi.s~. At one period in his existence even "-ir Redmoad W':;:; unknown.

The same applies to 0111 the great mea at present forming the Irish Par lamentary Party. Each rind everyone of them had a. beginning, and in eycr)' case, circumstanees as much as natural ability had a ha.id ia the game. J\11 of them did not achieve greataess ; none of them were born great, and some of them at least had greatness thrust "-pon them. Take, for instance, :\Ir Rf'>dlllO~'!d himscif.

Circumstances played a great part in his career. The Parnell split did something to make him kn-own.

Parnelr's death did more, because Ireland hi", always admired and respected loyalty to principle ; but yet, how many years did he remain in the wilderness. The leader of a small minority of malcontents and Iactionista and worse, as they were then styled by the s;:Jmeorgan of public opinion now employed in the congenial task of bC'lping abux upon the devoted heads of the members of lb.e Provisional Committee who st3.."ld Joyally by the eons:itlltion of the Irish Volunteers just as John Redmond stood loyo.l1y by the principles and policy of Charles Stewart Parnell. l'ar;Iel!'s policy was the independence of Irel:md. l'arnell's principles were to yield nothing to England, to offer nothi:lg to England, until Ireland ll'ld achieved full and cow' plcte legisl3.tiyc independence. ,~Ir Hed, mond was elected and reáelected to Parliaá llle-.t because of his ,adherence to th::.t policy and these principles, and his b-tronges: support-ers all the time were the men, the physical force men, who had co.nsentoo to stand aside and give Parnell's policy of cOllstitutional agitation a chance.

When )fr Redmond became leader of t:!le Irish Party he was choscn '1'0 Lead the Irish X ation to Independence.

To e1l:l.ble hin:! to prosecute the struggie for independence Ireland's sons and daugh te::r, pro"icicd the necessary financial aid, and year after year the exchequer of the Irish Parliamentary Party was filled to o,erfiowing v.. i:h the pounds, shilling and pe."lce 3nd the dollars contributed by the Irish people at home and the Irish exiles abroad, Let us not forgct that all this money was con-:ributed out of meagre purses, for one purpose, and for that pur. pose alone, to carry' on the warfare for Ireland's independence. Remembering this let liS ask: "What is Mr. Redmond doing to-day?" Is he obeying the mandate given

Germany has never done her any harm. Germany has not ravaged and plundered her century after century, Germany has not crippled her resources and driven her people into exile, . Germany has not deni.ed her even the franchises that are permitted slaves, Ger-, rr.any has not striven to stn rve her in soul and body, in character and mind, Germany has not ridiculed her and slandered her throughout the whole world. Germany, has done none of these things, but Eng, land has.

There is but a slight difference between the ,rules .obtaining in the English army and that of the French, 5a\-e that the French employ a proportionately far greater number of maxims.

Using a watch, the 'North can be found in the !oUOW1n;?; manner: Point 'the hourhand to the sun; then, in the morning, half-way between the hour-hand and noon is due south.

1£ afternoon. one must reckon balfáway ;:,.a,ckward, Thus : at 8 a.m. point the hour-hand to the sun and reckon forward half. way to noon i the South is at 10. If at 4 p.m. point the hour-hand at the sun and reckon back half-way. The South is at two o'clock.

The "haH,way" is because the' sun makes a course of twenty-four _!lours and the cia<::' of but twelve. If you cannot see th-e sun, set into a clear open space, hold your knife, point upright, on your watch dia}. and it will cast a faint shadow, showln~ where the sun really is, unless the cJ.ouasáare vcri heavy. , F m<iing the :-i'orth South J;,y the ,SUU is-a very, simple' m';t_t'er: The sun rises s'i.: o'Clock i;, the East, moves-to the South "'£as~ ti.l 9 o'clock; "mid at noon is, 'du~' South.

He would proceed somewhat in the following manner I At A would be found a round place about 5 x 8 inches, where a rabbit had crouched during the light snowfall.

At B he had leaped out and sat ~ooking arourrd , the small points ill front were made by his forefeet, the two long ones by his hind feet, and farther back is a little dimple made by the tail, showing that he Wag sitting on it. Something alarmed him, causing him to dart out at full speed towards C and D, and now a Yemarkable change is to be seen I the marks made by the, front feet .. are behind the large marks made by the hind feet, because the rabbit' oyer-reaches each time; the hind feet track ahead of the front feet the fast-er be' goes'the farther .ahead those hind feet get; and what happens" if be multiplied his, speed ily ten could not : :i-ealfy be imagined, 'This .over-reach of, 'tb~' hihd 'ta1ces'place in most .bo~nd~g :' 'anima.Is.á ;, " :

, , Now tthe -c'ontton-tail began a" series'.:ol the most extraordinary leaps and dodgings (D, E, F) as though trying to escape from some enemy, But what enemy?

There were no other tracks. You-might begin ,to think the rabbit was crazy-was' fiying from an imaginary foe-that possibly you were on the track 'Of a ':\farch bare. But at G is found for the first time some ~f'ots of blood. Thls gave the hunt the appear. ance of reality. A weasal might be cling. ing to its neck, Some blood is found a few yards ahead, at H. Twenty yards moore,at I, for the first time, on each side of the rabbit trail were the obvious marks of broad, strong, wings, Now the mystery is revealed. The pursuer was all eagle. a hawk, or an owl.

A few yards fart!>-e,r still and the remains of' the cotton-tail were discovered, partly devoured, at J. This put the eagle out of the question; an eagle would have carried the rabbit off boldly. A hawk or an owl was then the assassin. Looking around for a decisive clue, and close by the remains is found the peculiar two-paired track of an owL A hawk's track would have been as K, while the owl nearly always sets its feet in the ground with two toes forward, and two toes back. But which owl? In the particular valley in which was the trail, there were at least three, More proof was looked for, and found on a' near-by sap, Iing-e-one small feather, downy, as are all owl feathers, and bearing three broad bars, telling plainly that a barred owl had been there lately, and that, therefore, he was almost certainly the slayer of the cottontail. "-hile this evidence was being 001lected, what should come flying up the valley but the owl himself.Lbaok to the very place of the crime, intent on comp.eting his meal no doubt. He alighted on .a branch ten feet away, just above the r-ibl.it remains, and sat there muttering in his throat.

This company's attendance at the weekly drills held on Saturday's leaves nothing to 'be desired in consequence of which it is making satisfactory progress. Practically every member of the company took part in the fuueral procession of the latest victim (Sylvester Pidgeon) 'of the Bachelor's Walk outrage. 13y order of the County Board, the election of officers for this company will take place on Saturday, 3rd October.

As the members of this company have made such rapid progress in the. various drills it is to be hoped that their attendance on Tuesday nights will be better than ever, particularly as the instruction is now g-etting rather advanced, and bad attendants will find it hard to pull up later on. The members turned out with the 'other companies of the Dublin Regiment to honour the memory of Sylvester Pidgeon on Friday night, when, his reo mains were <conveyed from J'ervis street hospital to his home, and also 'On .Sundav morning when he was accorded a public funeral.
