She was one of the most inspiring of them, and in pronouncing an oration over her body in London the other day, De Valera said that in ti e to come she would be regarded h ‘ Joan of Arc, and with St. Patrick would guide the destiny of the Emerald Isle. We have not noticed many signs of St. Patrick’s guiding lately, and cer- tainly De Valera’s own career gives no hint of having been inspired by the patron saint of Ireland. But un- doubtedly, if there is to be more bloodshed in Ireland, and if ever gangs of murderers need some "bucking up" they will find comfort in the career of this strange woman. It is an anomaly that she could have died peacefully in bed of appendi- citis, and she was conscious of the fact. because she whispered to De Valera with her last breath, “I hop- ed to have a finer death than this. I wanted to pass out with my boots on, leading my brave Irishmen up the high hill to freedom.” The Toast of the County The countess came of an aristo- cratic Irish family. Her father, the late Sir Henry Gore-Booth, of County Sligo, was the head of a Protestant line that had supplied distinguished soldiers and adminsâ€" traturs t0 the British Empire, and her grandmother was a niece of the Earl of Scarborough. As a girl she was all that her fond parents desir- ed. A fine horsewoman and rider to- the hounds. an accomplished musician. an adept at. all Winter sports. and withal possessing unus- ual beauty of face and form, she was no bread-andâ€"butter miss, but as they used to say in the novels of Lever, the toast of the county. She went to London and was presented at court where her wit, beauty and poetic gifts attracted the admiration of the future King Edward VII. But she found society dull, and Conâ€" stance Gore-Booth, at the age of 21, and at the height of her popularity, declared that she was through with it and would devote herself to art. In fact. she displayed a wedding ring and said she had become wed- ded to it. So she went to Paris to live alone in the Latin Quarter, where the wedding ring, no doubt, excited much curiosity. Turns Agitator Here she was not long in making the accmaintance of Count Markie- \‘lt’Z. a handsome middleâ€"aged Pole, about whose title there was some question. but. none whatever about his charm. They fell in love and returned to Dublin, where they '11:. 11in souvht the. literarV and artisâ€" tic ct. \s 111cl1 included James Joyce, among several others who subse- (1111111th became celebrated.

NOBLE’S GARAGE DURHAM Parts from Husband While in prison she entered the Roman Catholic Church because the priests of this religionhad been so sympathetic to the rebel movement. In 1918 she again got into jail for Sinn Fein activity and while she lay there had the honor of being elected to the British Parliament, being the first woman thus distin- guished. But she did not take “her seat. She was again re-elected in 1921 and held this post until. the Irish Free State Government. was set up. To the Dail she was also elected, but being a member of the extreme Republican wing, she did not attend. She had become almost more extreme than De Valera to- ward the end, for her ideal was the establishment of a workers’ repub- lic in Ireland, in other words an Erse translation of the Soviets. She was imprisoned a couple of times by the Free State Government, once for her part in the savage destruc- tion of the Four Courts, but was again treated with magnanimity. On her death bed she was reconciled to her husband, partly, no doubt. because he was her husband, and partly, because he was not anJing- lishman. RURAL DEPOPULATION There is no cause for alarm in the fact that many of the farmers of Ontario are leaving the rural dis- tricts, according to Hon. John S. Martin, Minister of Agriculture in the Ontario Government. Speaking at the official lunhceon at the Can- adian National Exhibition last week, he said he often wondered what they would do on lOO-acre farms to- (tiayb with as many men as there used 0 e. Recalling the days when it took six or eight men to keep up to a reaper in the harvest field. he said that with self-binders such as are used nowadays there would be no-- thigg for them to _d0._ keepin of her grandmother. The Count imself was invalided out of the army after illness and for'a time became the business manager of Mrs. Patrick Campbell. At present he is a clerk in the American com- mercial attache’s office, in Warsaw. Soon his wife had become known as the “Red Countess” and in the Easter week rising commanded a. troop of. Sinn Fein soldiers who occupied the College of ,Surgeons. She is said to have been the last of the Sinn Fein leaders to surrender . to the British. Garbed from head to foot in green she led her men to the British force, saluted the officer in command, kissed her revolver as she handed it over and said, “I am ready.” She was sentenced to death for treason, but this was commuted to life imprisonment and in a year or so she was released under a general amnesty. “Rural depopulation is only a natural trend,” continued H011. Mr. Martin. “Men haVe left the farm, tl1eV haVe gone elseVV.here Instead ot heVVailing the tact we ought to be proud of it. These men have gone to the W est and ham helped to build up those p10Vinces. * "Why, they would be in the way,” he declared. A slightly inebriated gentleman lm'ched into a cafe late one night and sat down at, one of the tables. Holding the menu card upside down he gravely inspected it for several moments. Suddenly.,in an excited manner he yelled, “Waiter, waiter! Ll’mere quick. send for the manager, thersh been a terrible mistake made, a. terrible mistake!” An Irish Bolshevik A NATURAL TREND?

Taylor was presenzei with a purse. this part of the ceremony was 79:. ri‘ormed by Mr. Duncan McLean. The reci- pient responded to this evidence of afi‘ection on the part of his congre- gation, though from his words and manner we would judge that he has done many â€"harder things with greater zest that that of severing his connection with his first con- gregation which has stood by him duringhis four years as pastor. The chairman for the ex ening \\ as Mr. W. H.
