THE OMAHA DAIITT BEE : SUNDAY , ATTG-TJST 13 , 1899. 13 DROLLERIES OF DONEGAL. A Scries of Irish Folk Stories By Scutnas Mncmnnus. THE QUEEN OF THE GOLDEN MINES. Author of "Through the Tort Smoke , " "Iheleadln'Road to Donegal. " ( Copyright , 1S ! , by The S. S. AtcClure Co. ) Once on a , Umo there was a king of Ire land , and he had thrco tons , Teddy , Hilly and Jack. Teddy and Ullly wcro the two oldest , nnd they were bravo , able boys. ( But Jack w s the youngest , a gauchy , dawnco sort of n lad that was good ( for nothing only feed ing fowls nwil doing oxld turns about the house. When they grow up to bo men Teddy and Hilly ono day said they'd go away to travel and ECC the world , for they'd bo good- for-nothing omndbaun.i If they'd stay hero all tholr 'lives. ' Their father said that was good , nnd so off the both of them started. And that nlgtit when they halted from their traveling , who docs they BCO coming up after them but Jack , for 'H Boomn ho commenced to think long when ho found thorn gone , and he was that lonesoruo that ho couldn't stay behind them , for , of course , they wcro done off with the best of everything ralo jlntle- mec , as bccomod their father's eons. Tlioy nald to themselves they'd bo long sorry to lot that plcthur with them for ho was a plothur , and no doubt of It to bo anupcast , to them viliercver they'd go. So before they started on again next morning they tied Jack to a millstone and left Mm there. Th-at night again when they went to stop from tliolr traveling , what would you have of It but there was me bravo Jack once more , not 100 parches behind them , and ho dragging the millstone after fclrn. Teddy and Ullly said this was too bad entirely , and next day , be fore they Btartcd again , they tied another millstone to Mm , and they oald , "Well , you'll not got away from hero In a hurry , anyhow , boy , " So on they went again on tliolr Jour ney , laughing and cracking Jokes , and telling peonages to pass the tlmo ; but that night again , -when they went to stop from their Journey , lo , and behold yo , who docs they oo coming tearing after them but my poor Jack , once more , with two millstones drag ging behind him. Then they were In a quandlhary entirely , and they begun to con sider 'what ' was the beat to dowith lilm , for they saw there was no holdln' or tyln' of him , or kceplnf him back at alJ , at all , for If they wore to tlo him to a mountain , la the mornln' ho'd bo after them with the mountain rattling at his heels again night. So they Oatno to the conclusion that It was best to bake Jack -with him nnd purtend him to bo their hired boy , and not their brother V , "IS IT MB YE WANT ? IS IT ME YE WANT ? " \ , at. nil.i Of course , mo poor-Jack , that -was always agreeable , was only too ready to go _ on these terms ; and on the three of them went , afore them , till at length they reached the king of England's castle. When the king of England heard Teddy and Billy was the king of Ireland's two sons , ho giro thean "caed ntllle failthe , " was plalsed and proud to sec them , ordhered them to be made much of , then opened his hall door an' axed In tho'nobility an' gcnthry of the whole coun try side to a 'big ' dinner and ball that he gave In their honor. But what do you have of It , ibut in tb.e middle of the 'ball ' doesn't Teddy have a fall-out 'with the king of England's eon and'sthruck him , and then that was the play. The hubbub and hooroosh got up and the king ordhered the ball to be stopped , nnd had Teddy taken prls'ner and Billy and -no "THEHB WAS MB BRAVE JACK DRAG GING THE MILLSTONE AFTER HIM. " Jack ordhere .away out of the kingdom. Billy and Jack wont away vexed In their hearts at leaving Teddy In jail , and they traveled .away till they came to France anil the king of Franco's castle. Here , when the king of France heard that Billy , the king of Ireland's son , had come to see htm , he went out end welcomed him , and' axed In himself and Jack to come In and spend a visit with him. And , like the king of Eng land , he thought be coudn't make too much , of the king of Ireland's sons , and threw open bis hall door and axed In the whole nobility and clargy and genthry of all the country side into a great dinner and ball given in Billy's honor. But lo and behold ye , doesn't It turn up at this 'ball , too , that Billy bad a equabble with the king of France's son and struck him , and the ball was stopped by the king's ordhcrs , and the people sent home , and Billy taken prls'ner , and there was poor Jack now left all alone. The king of France , taking pity on Jack , employed him as a boy. And Jack was get ting along very well at coort , and the king and him used to have very great yarns to gether entirely. At length a great war broke out ibetwlxt France and Uooshla , and the king of Franco was In great trouble , for the nooshlans were slaughtering and conquering all before them. Bays Jack , says he , to the king ono day : "I Tvleh I had only half a raglmlnt of your men , and you'd eeo what I would do. " Instead of this the king gave him a whole division , and in less nor three days there wasn't a Rooshln alive la the whole kingdom of France. It was the king was the thankful man to Jack for this good action and said he never could forget it to htm. After that Jack got into great favor at coort and used to have long chats with the queen herself. But Jack eoon found that ho novcr could coma into the queen's presence that he didn't put her In tears. ' 'Ho axed her ono day what was the meaning of this and she told him that It was bekaso ahe never looked on him that ho didn't put her In mind of an infant son that had twelve months before been carried away by the queen of the Golden Mines and who she had never heard tale or tidings of from that dnjr itb this. "Well , bo this and bo that , " says Jack , says he , "but I'm not the man to leave ye In your trouble If I can held it ; and ibo this and bo that over again , " says he , "but I won't sleep two nights In the one bed or eat two meals In the one house till I find out the queen of the Golden Mines castle and fetch back your Infant son to ye or else I'll not ccrno bock llvln' . " "Ah , " says the quoco , "that would never do , " and "Ah , " says the king , "that would never do at all. " They pointed out and showed to him how a hundred great knights had gone on the same arrant before him and not an individual of thorn over come back llvln' , and there was no use In him ithrowln * away his life , for they couldn't afford to lose him. But it was all no USD ; Jack was bound on goln * and go he would. So the very next morning ho was up at cock-crow and ofther leavln' goodby with the whole of them and leavln' the king and queen la tears he started on his journey. And ho traveled away afore him , Inquiring his way to the castle of the queen of the Golden Mines ; and he traveled and tramped for many a weary day and for many a weary week and for many a weary month , till at last , when It was drawing on twelve months from , the day ho left the castle of the king of France , one day tors't evening he was traveling through a thick wood , when ho fell in with an old man , restIng - Ing , with a great bundle of sticks by his side ; and "Mo poor ould man , " says Jack , says ho , "that's a mighty great load entirely for a poor man of your years to bo carrying. Sure If ye'll allow me , I just take thorn with me , for ye , as far as you're goln' . " "Bllsslns on ye , " says the ould man ; "an' an ould man's bllssln' atop of that ; an' thanky. " "Nebbut , thanky , yerself , for yer good wishes , " says Jack , says he , thro win' the bundle of sticks on his shoulder , an' marchln' on by the old man's aide. And they traveled away through the wood till they come at last to the ould man's cabin. And the ould man axed Jack to como In and put up with him for the night , and such poor accommodations as he had Jack was wel come to them. Jack thanked him , and went in and put up the night with him , and in the morning Jack told the ould man the errand ho was on and axed if he'd direct him on his way to the queen of fho Golden ; Mines' castle. Then the ould man took out Jack and showed him a copper castle glanc ing in the sun , on a hill opposite , and told him that was his journey's end , "But , my poor man , " says he , "I would strongly advise yo not to go next or near .It. A hundred knights went there afore you on the self-same errand and their heads are now stuck on a hundred spears right afore the castle ; for there's a flery dhragon guards It that makes short work of the best of them. " But seeing Jack wasn't to be persuaded off his enthcrprlse nohow , be took him In and gave htm a sword that carried two men's strength in It along with that of the man that wielded It. And told Jack if he was alive again tonight , and not killed by the dhragon to come back to his cabin. Jack thanked him for the sword and promised this , and then he set out for the caftle. But lol and behold yel no sooner did Jack come anear the castle than a terrible great big monsfher of a dhragon entirely , the wildest ever Jack seen or heard tell of , come out from the castle , and he opened his mouth as wtdo as the castle gates and let a roar that there never was any thunder to equal and that could be beard 300 miles .away. Poor Jack thrlmbled from head to foot and small won der he did but , not a bit daunted , he went on to meet the dbragon , and no sooner wore they met nnd he to It and the dbragon to It , and they fought and sthrove long and hard , the wildest fight by far that poor Jack ever entered Into , and tbey fougbt that way from enrly mornltV till the sun went down , at ono time Jack ueemln' to be gettln' tbo bettlier of the dhragon , end the next minute the dhragon gettln' the betther of Jack , and when the sun went down they called a truce of palce till next day , and Jack dragged himself back to the cabin in small hopas of being able to meet the dhragon more , for 1 QUALITY TALKS.

Telephone 1081 , he was covered over with wounds from head to foot. But nb n he got to the cabin the ould man welcomed him. back alive , and ho took down a little bottle ot ointment and rubbed It over Jnck , and no sooner did ho rub It over him than Jack's wounds were all healed as well MS ever again. And Jack went out a new man the next mornln' to give the dhragon another try for it this day. And just as on the day before the flery dhragon cimo down the hill , mootln' poor Jack ; and the dhragon opened his mouthaa wldo as the castle gates , nnd gave a roar that wan hoard this day 600 miles away , and then fell on Jack , and Jack fell on him , and the dhnagon to It , and Jack to it , and the dhragon gave Jack his fill , and Jack gave the dhragon his fill ; and If they fought hon ) the day afore they fought double as hard "TOOK OUT JACK AND SHOWED HIM A COPPER CASTLE GLANCING IN THE SUN. " this day , and the dhragon put very sore on Jack entirely till the sun went down. Then again they agreed on n truce of patco till the next morning ; and Jack dragged himself back as best he could to the cabin again , all covered over with cuts nnd bruises , and streaming down with blood. And when ho oamo there the ould man took down a little bottle of ointment and rubbed Jack over with It , and he waa hoalcd as well as ever again. Next morning Jock was qulto fresh and ready for another day's bat tling , and the ould man told Jack that , win or lose , this day was like to end the batble. And he said if Jack happened ( as God send ) to como off victorious , ho was to go into the castle and there be would find a great number of beautiful rarglns running about In great confusion , to prevent Jack from discovering their mistress , the Queen of the Golden Mines , and every one of them axing , "Is. It me ye want ? Is It me ye want ? " But he bold Jack he was to heed none of them , but press through room after room , till he come to the sixth room and there ho would find the queen herself asleep , with the little child by her side. So Jack went meeting the dhragon this third day again and the dhragon came meeting Jack. And he opened hts mouth as wide as the castle gates and let a roar that was heard 900 miles away and than fell on Jack , and Jack fell on him , and ho to It , and Jack to it , and both of them to It ; and if the fight was wild and terrible the first two days , it was ten times wilder and terribler this day. And _ harder and harder It was getting the more they warmed to the work ; and ono tlmo it waa Jack was getting the betther of the dhragon and the next time was the dbragon was getting the better of poor Jack ; and at lost coming on tors't night the dhragon was putting very hard on Jack en tirely , and It was very nearly being all over with him , when he stepped back , and gath ering all ble strength , mounted Into the air with one spring and came down on top ot the dhragon's heart , and leaving him. over dead. Then Jack went into the castle , and no sooner did he go In than there was lots of the most beautiful varglns running In great commotion , and asking Jack , "Is it me you want ? Is It me you want ? " But Jack never heeded them' till he como Into the sixth room , where he satw the beautiful Queen of the Golden Mines asleep , -with the queen of France's child asleep beside her. Jack bent over her and gave her one klsa , for sho. was a lovely plcthur. Then he took up the child in his arms , and , picking up a beautiful garter all glancing with diamonds that was flying by the queen's bedside , and taking with ( him -a loaf of bread that could never be eaten out. a bottle of wine that could never be drunk out and a puree that never could bo emptied , he started away. Ho stopped that night with the ould man , who took down his bottle of ointment and healed up all the wounds Jack got that day. In the morning Jack started for France , leaving with the ould man to keep till the Queen ot the Golden Mines would call for it the purse that never could be emptied. When Jock reached France nnd presented back to the queen her darling child , that was the rejoicement and the joy. There was a great faist given and at the falst Jock said no had a little wondher ho fetched with him that he'd like to show , and he produces his bottle and sent it round the prences nnd nobility and genthry that were all .essemtoled at the falst , and axed them all to drink the queen's health out of it. This they all did , and lo and behold ye when they had finished the bottle was as full as when they commenced ; and they all said that bate all ever they knew or heard tell of ; and the king said It bate all ever ho knew or beerd tell of , too , and that the same bottle would be of mighty great sarv- Ice to him to keep his troops In drink when he'd eo to war. and axed Jack on what terms ho'd part with it. Jack said he couldn't part with it entirely , as it wasn't his own , but If the king relalsed his brother he'd leave the bottle with him till such times as the queen of the golden mines might call for It. The queen agreed to this , Jack's brother was relalsed and himself and Jack started off for England. When they were come there the king of England gave a great fatst In their honor , too , and at this falst Jack said he'd like to show them a little wonder he fetched with him , and he producedthe loaf and axed the king to di vide all round. 'And ' the klne cut off the loaf and divided all round , over all the prences and nobility and centbry that was there , and when he had finished they were all lost In wondberment , for the loaf was still as ble as when the king commenced to cut. The king said that would be the grand loaf for feeding his troops whenever he went lo war , and axed Jack what would he take to part with It. Jack eald the loaf wasn't his to part with , but If the king relalsed his ( brother out of prison he'd give him the loaf till such times as the queen ot the golden mines might call for It. The king agreed to this and relalsed Jack's other brother , and then the three of them started for home together. And when they were coma near home the two older brothers agreed that Jack when he'd tell hts story would disgrace them and they'd put him to death. But Jack aereed If they'd let him live he would go away and push his fortune and never go back near homo. They let him live on these conditions , and they pushed on home , where they were received with great welcomes and told inortla ! great thlnes entirely of all the great things they done while they were away.

She got no rest till she started herself and her varglns , and away to find Jack. She first came to the old man , where she got ) lier purse , and ho directed'her to the king of Prance. When she come to the court of the king of France she got her bottle , and he raid Jack went from there to go and eeo the king of England. From the king of England * land she got her loaf , and he directed her to Ireland , telling her that Jack was so other than the king of Ireland's son. She lost no tlmo then , reaching the coort of the king of Ireland , where she demanded his son , who had killed the flery dhragon. The king sent out his eldest son , and he said It was him that had kited the fiery dhragoq , and she asked him for tokens , but ho could give none , so she eatd ho wasn't the man she wanted. Then the king's second son came out and said it was htm killed the fiery dhragon. But ho couldn't show .no tokens either , so he wouldn't do. Then the king eald ho had no other eon but a good-for- nothing drolghwho went away eomewhcro and never came back , but that It wasn't him anyhow , for ho couldn't kill a cockroach.

But they all laughed at him , and one gave him a knock , and Bother one gave him a push and nno'tber gave him a kick. And Jack never minded them one bit , but went out and eatd it was him that kilt the flery dhragon. They all eet up another big roar of a laugh at this.

Waterproof leather is announced. Austria Is making artificial cotton. Japan has ono leather shoe factory. Our cotton mlHs employ 93,000 women. Oklahoma's wheat crop , 40,000,000 bushels. Gunnluon , Utah , expects lo have a leet sugar factory by another year. Electricity has supplanted steam on the railroad fram Milan to Monza. the oldest railroad In Italy. The total number of women over 18 years old employed in the factories and work shops of the British islands is about 500,000. It is said that the productive capacity of labor-saving machinery at the present time is equal1 to a hand-working population of 100,000,000. In the south 102 - 102woolen mills and sev enty-six knitting mills are now in operation Textile manufacturing of all kinds Is grow ing fast in that section from Vlrgtna to Texas. The Now Hampshire Railroad commission has ordered that all electric passenger cars run In that state during December , January , February and March shall be provided with vestibules. English barb-wlro manufacturers , having reduced prices , while American goods have advanced , hope to be able to compete in South Africa with , what has heretofore been almost an American monopoly. There are twelve vestrywomen in London against 4,088 men. Woman guardians are much more numerous In proportion. Hardly a week passes now without one or more ap pointments of women to the positions of nan. Itary Inspectors. A single factory in Now Jersey , it is said , casts annually 28,000 bells for the farmers and about 4,000 for schools , churches , engine houses , etc. It is estimated by a foundry- man that at least 50,000 are sold every year in the country to tillers of the soli and breeders. The Montreal Street Railway company has insured each of its employes for Jl.OOO against accident or total1 disability ; conduc tors and motormcn who have been in Ha service for more than two years receive an increase In wages nnd those who have served five years or inoro receive their uniforms free from the company.

Letter of Chicago has resulted in demonstrating that coke can be manufactured from low grade Illinois coal of a quality quite good enough to be Used by large steel mills. A company has been formed and the manufacture of the new process coke will be commenced on a large scale. Statistics show that there are 83,000 women in the United States employed In cotton mills , 10,700 in the carpet industry , 20,500 in hosiery and knitting mllrs , 36,100 la woolen mills , 28,000 in the manufacture of tobacco and cigars , 9,000 at paper-mak ing.

Prior to 1891 there was but one little tinplate - plate factory in the Uulted States ; now there are fifty-two. A few years ago not a sheet of tlnplato woe produced in the United States ; today 6,197,500 pounds , or 61,976 boxes , of tlnplate can be produced annually , and for at least 300 days In the year $120,000 in wages is earned dally. Thirty thousand men , boys and girls are employed in the tln plato industry , not counting several thou sand superintendents and office and shipping clerks. Each mlir requires 100 hands for every day of three turns and the 300 mills need , therefore , 30,000 hands. The hands are paid as follows for each turn of eight hours , constituting a day's work ; Roller , (8 ; doubler , $5 $ to J6 ; beater , $1 ; catcher , J3.45 ; scrowboy , $2 ; shearman , $3.60 ; helper , sometimes employed by roller , $2.25 , in which case the roller's dally wage , it being on a tonnage basis , amounts to less than $8 ; coJd roller , M to $6 ; cold roller catcher , 11.50 ; poke-In boy , $1.50 to $1.76 ; anncaler , $2 to $3 ; pickler , $3 to $5.

Curious Effect of Three Months In n Low Temperature. The effect of the climate upon the capillary properties of certain animals was strikingly and most practically illustrated In New York some llttlo tlmo ago , iA certain warehouse man on Jane street was annoyed by the ravages of innumerable hordes of mice. Ho had Tittle trouble in the main part of his building , where a couple of well trained cats kept tbo place tolerably free from the pests , but In the cold storage portion the mice held full sway. They nibbled into packages and boxes , and destroyed such quantities of fruits that heroic measures were necessary. It seemed rather a cruel experiment , but the nuisance became no unbearable that he de cided at last to install a cat in the cold storage warehouse. Provision to a certain extent < was made for her comfort , and ehe was left to her own devices and the mice. Pussy seemed to flourish , notwithstanding the coM , and in the course of about a week became mother to a fine llttlo of six kittens. After a time three of the latter were re moved , < but the old cat and her remaining progeny were ( till left In tholr Arctic quarters. When allowed out It was noticed that she grew weak and listless. She tot tered about la an aimless way , as though all energy and interest in llfo were lost. As soon , however , as she waa returned to her cold quarters she recovered her vigor and became AS bright and active as ueual. A curious feature was soon observed In the kittens. They grew to an Immense size , their coats 'became long and shaggy and the fur much coarser than that of an ordinary cat ; It had also a peculiar tendency to curl. The feelers , or whiskers , too , grew to nearly double length , ID that -when they were placed beside the members of their own Ira- mediate family the difference was so marked that they might have easily passed for an entirely different breed. The change took place within three months , giving a curious example of how suddenly and completely nature will adapt Itself to the exigencies of climate with the young. It will be Interesting to know If the future progeny of these young cats wlir in herit the peculiar features of their parents. TnlU About JliiK * . It seems to be an extraordinary summer for bugs.
