How Michael Became an Alderman.
"Weli, Patrick is a great man. He's
a man of fortune, and a good frie-.id
to myself. One year, when times
were hard and work" not so plenty, I
lost my job, and didn t Patrick help
me to another the very next week?
Not long after that Patrick ran for
alderman, and myself and many
another like me. worked hard for to
get him efected, and since then I've
been in politics myself. First, Pat
rick got me a job on the police
force, and then I was captain, and
lince then, by one change and
another, if I do say it, I'm an alder
man myself! '
Its wonderful, sure, Magture

but I m not wishful for to change.
Sure, old Ireland is good enough for
me, and I'd not be missing the larks
singing in the spring in the green
fields of Erin and the smell of the
neat on the hearth in winter. It's
queer and lonesome I'd be without
nese things, and that s the truth.
He threw his head back and be
gan to sing. Everybody joined m
and sang, too. This is the song they
sang:
"Old Ireland, ydu'r. my Jewal sure, '

"And thla shall' be the sons; for me.

"From Dublin bay to Cork's sweet cove,
Old Ireland, you're my darling,
Sly darling, my darling,
From Hub) In bar to Cork's sweet c
Old Ireland, you're my darling.'
Michael sang with the others. And
when the song was ended, he said:

N AdelGarrison'sew Phase of
Revelations of a Wife
What Dicky Reported About Rita
Brown. I
The train loafed and sputtered
and stumbled and halted through
Virgina in s manner which would
have been most exasperating if I
had been well and anxious for the
end of the journey. But as it was,
every minute that I could lie quietly
in my berth undisturbed by attempts
to dress or face the world outside
the drawing room meant that much
Lgained strength, and I revelled in
the long waits, usually at some de
serted cross roads.
"They're running true to form,"
Dicky grumbled, at one stop where
there was not a sign of life to be
seen in , any direction. "They're
stopping at every pig pen and chicken
coop along the way. If it wasn't for
you, old girl, that I know the delay
is best tor you, i d get out and walk
or help push the engine or some
thing." I smiled up at hi-impatience;
there was something very boyish
and attractive in it and him. J wz.s

have the undivided attention of my
handsome' husband. For my own
part I would have been willing to
hav the journey twice as long.
But I feared more than anything
else that he might find the confine
ment irksome, and might be playing
the part of chief nurse from duty
rather than from inclination. There
fore I braced myself for an effort
to arrange things differently.
"Tell ' me about the rest of the
people," I sard carelessly. "What
are they doing and how are they
standing the journey?"
Dicky grinned reminiscently.
"Each after the manner , of his
kind," he quoted. ' "My maternal

Drawn
Sugar Prices to Soar'
Soon, Say Retailers;
' a J. aa as
jelling at Loss Now
In the opinion of Omaha whole
sale grocers, sugar is going to take
a jump in price soon. While it is
much cheaper now than it was a
month ago, the market is so unset
tled that it is impossible to tell what
conditions will be 30 days from now.
Several Omaha merchants are
selling sugar at a loss because of the
great amount on hand. The cause
of the large supply is that retailers
liniiT the number of pounds sold to
a customer, it is said.
Thousands of sacks of sugar are
stored in Omaha warehouses and
unless the demand is greater, local
merchants will have to stand a great
loss, as the sugar was purchased
when the prce of retailing was high.
The fallin goff in demand for sl
gar is caused by the fact that house
wives have refused to purchase
much sugar at a time because of the
high price.
"None of us know what is coming,
but I look for a slight upward ten-
dency in prices after present stocks
are moved," aid F. J. Hughes of
the Hughes company.
