Lord French Not
To Quit Despite
Constant Rumor
Lord Lieutenant of Ireland
Said to Be Dissatisfied With
Lack of Influences
Believe He Will Stay.
' Dublin, Nov. 17. The rumors
, that Lord French is about to re
tire from the office of lord lieutenant
, because he is dissatisfied with his
lack of influence on policy are re
garded in usually' well informed cir
cles here as without foundation in
fact. His role was definitely set
tled several months ago when Sir
Hamar Greenwood and General
Macready came to Ireland ad no
change has since taken place..
When first appointed Lord
French was accompanied by Mr.
Shortt as chief secretary and, the
arrangement was that each should
have an equal voice in the adminis
tration. When thev differed the dif
ference was referred, to the cabinet.
Where there was no time to make
the reference Lord French's view
pfevailcd. This plan did not work
wen . . .
t ' PJan Was Unworkable.'
( Neither party was satisfied. Each
minister- thought he could do .better
' without the other.', Mr. Shortt was
sent away to the home office, and
Lord French was allowed to
i choose a chief secretary not as a
' colleague but as a subordinate and
he chose Mr. Macpherson, of whom
he had had a favorable experience
when Mk, Macpherson was under
secretary of war. , -'
Lord French is said to have in
terferred in "all the details of ad
ministration. He tired of the job
and welcomed the change which
x brought Sir Hamar Greenwood as a
real chief secretary directly rep
resenting the cabinet, and General
Macready to control the armed
forces. The three men haves since
igot on well, together and the
viceroy is understood to be content
with a mainly ornamental position
which relieves him' from much trou
ble. ' -
. , Salary Is 20,000.
The salary attached to his post is
v '20,000 a -year, with various addi
, tional allowances, and with some
concession in the matter of income
tax. Previous viceroys found the
sum insufficient and some of them
who wer.e wealthy men supplement
ed it out of their private means. But
then there were levees, drawing
rooms, dances and entertainments
on a large scale in the castle, all
modeled in imitation of the unc
tions of the royal court in- London.
These have not been resumed
iiqce the war which suspended them.
and the internments are few and
on the modest scale possible in the
vicefcgal lodge,' i which is a small
houle less extensive than many Irish
country mansions.
, ,'. - .. Office of Profit .
The viceroyalty is thus ' now ah
office of considerable profit, and
since m the new conditions it is in
volving its holder in less labor and
anxiety, there is every inducement
for him to remain in it.
It is a convenience to the gov
ernment that Lord French should
stay. It would not be easy to find
a suitable successor. f Unless, there
fore, Lord French's health breaks
down a change is considered un
likely. 5hou1d a complete reversal take
olace in oresent methods of Irish
administration and a new policy of
conciliation be inaugurated, there
would be a change in all the Irish
offices. (Three names are mentioned
as possible viceroys in that event.
' ' Lord Decies Proposed.
Lord Decies, who married Miss
Gbul of New York, is constantly
spoken of. He is personally very
popular with all classes and is a
very genial man, typically Irish in
hit ways. He would be an orna
mental, lord lieutenant of -the old
spending 'style. V
; It the lord lieutenant were to
, Tiave the real as well as the merely
nominal power, Lord Northcliffe is
mentioned as a possible choice. An
other likely manjs Lord Shaftesbury
who made an important speech at
the Irish peace conference and
whose role would be, while cpncilat
ing Irish feeling generally, to se
cure the adhesion of Belfast, where
he has great interests,
If, owing to reasons of health,
' Lord French should go during the
continuance of the present regime
the most probable successor, is be
lieved to be the Marquis of London
derry. ' " '

WHY
Is the Symbol for the English
Pound?
(Copyright, 1:0. By Tha , Wheeler 1
. Syndicate. Inc.) , . ( -.,
Inasmuch as the pound ster
ling was originally referred to
by the Latin name libra, it was
at first contracted to the letters
lib; the usual mark of abbrevia
tion, a dash or lineover the letters
being used to signify the con
tracted form; ' la dotting the
"i," a careless or rapid writer
would make the dot more or
less in the form of a dash or
short line. Thus lib. came to
have two strokes or dashes one
for the abbreviation and one to
represent the dot over the "i.V
In! the course of time the "i
was entirely dropped, and the,
contraction became "lb," but the
two strokes were retained. This
form of abbreviation, however,
was found to interfere with the
symbol for . the pound weight
(lb), which had only one dash
to denote the fact that it bad
been shortened, so the "b" was
omitted where the mack meant
pound sterling. The two dashes
or strokes' were, however, per
petuated and the with its
crosses is now known all over
the world as the symbol of the
English pound sterling.

Jy.t4i und grains were
Sandy Chipmunk ate more
what
than
anything else. But sometimes 'when
lie could not find enough of those,
or when he wanted a change of
food, he would eat almost any sort
of berry, and apples and. pears as
well. Tomatoes, too, he liked once
"What a pity!" He meant it, too
in aV while. And he was very fond
of sunflower seeds. He would not
refuse a fat insect, either, if it flew
lib way. But. these we're not the
oniy dainties 4hat iSandy thought
good. There was something else
something to be found m trees
for which? Sandy sometimes hunted.
And before he came home, after
finding what he was locking for, he
always wiped his mouth with great
care.
If you had ever seen hi in wiping
his mouth lke that, you might have
guessed that Sandy Chipmunk had
been eating birds', eggs. And the
roason he, was so careful to remove
all, signs of his feast was because
he did not want his mpther to know
vtiat he had been doing.
.Now you have heard the Worst
there is to 'know about Sandy Chip
luiink.
To you it may seem odd that Mrs.
Chipmunk did not thiak it wrong
to rob birds' nests. And now you
Know the worst about ner,
Sandy's mother liked eggs iist as
rrtich as lie did. But her son was
such a little "fellow that he was
airaid he might get hurt climbing
trees and looking for eggs. She
told, him tiiat some day some bird
might surprise him when he was
enjoying a meal of her eggs, and
peck out one or two of his eyes.
"Keep away from the nests!" Mrs.
Chipmunk said.
But Smdy had had too many
tastes of birds' eggs. He simply
couldn't resist eating a few eggs
now and hen. Of course, when he
did that he disobeyed his mother.
And of course, if she had known it
she would have .punished him.
As' the spring days sped past, the
b.rds that Jied in Farmer Green's
pacture grew very angry with Sandy
( hipmun!:. You see, it was not
long before they discovered who it
wa? that was robbing their nests
now and then. v
"You'd better leave birds', eggs
alone 1" , Mr. Crow warned Jlim one
cay. "A number of my friends have
to(d. me what they're .going to do to
you, if they catch yon pear their
iitsts."'- '
But Sandy told Mr. Crow to keep
his- advice to himself.
"What about Farmer Green's
corn?" Sandy asked the old "gen
tleman. "I've Jieard ' that Farmer
Green is looking for you with a
gyn."
Mr. Crow didn't even answer
I.un. He just flew away. ' There
were some things he didn't like to
talk about. , . ' . .
That very afternoon Sandy Chip
munk spied a robin's est in a tree
not far from tvherc he lived. And
in less time tllan it takes to tell it,
he had climAed the tree cand run
out on the limb whfere the nest
rested. ,
Sandy Chipmunk smiled as lie
peered into the robin's nest. The
four greenish-blue eggs that he saw
And lie smacked his, lips though
his mothqr had often told him not
to. He. was just picking the eggs
out of the nest when he heard a
rustle in the leaves over his head.
And Sandy Chipmunk looked up
quickly.
H- seemed to him, at first, that
the air was full of monstrous birds.
Actually, there were only three of
them Mr. and Mrs.. Robin and a
neighbor of theirs. But to Sandy
they looked six times as big as they
really were. That was because they
liarl caught him robbing the nest.,
He was so startled (hat he
dropped the eggs. They fell back
into the nest all except one, which
broke upon the ground beneath the
tiee
"Robbcrl" Mrs. Robin screamed.
. "Thief!" Mr. Robin roared.
'Villain!" their, neighbor cried,
it is a wonder they didn't fly
