Well, I think we are convincing a good many of them that we are In the right and they are in the wrong, bet there are some of them who are perfect AJaxea m debate and who say they will continue to debate this question and will stand against the conservation program as long as the shoe leather on their shoes will stand.

A harp of sham rocks, sent from Ireland by John D. Redmond. Irish nationalist leader, was presented to the guest of honor. At the conclusion of this luncheon. although It was time for him to start !for the mass meeting at the Auditor ium, the president sought his room for a half hour's rest. The crowd made the hotel corridors noisy, but the po licemen warned all who chanced to pass to cease talking. When the pres ident reappeared he seemed much re freshed, and there was nothing of weariness apparent in his manner -Roosevelt (prolonged applause).

At the stage door of the theatre a man attempted to follow the president into the building, but was seized by two secret service operators. - When questioned he declared that he was a newspaper man, but inquiry at the paper for which he said he worked re sulted in a denial of his statement. He was locked up after a struggle. He gave the name of "Dick" Short. At the station it was said he seemed to be under the influence of liquor. Itooirvelt Gets Bit; Applanne.

You don't enjoy that any more than I do. . Who was it inspired in Gifford Pinchot that wonderful activity of mind and body with reference to the conservation movement? (Ap plause). "I am in favor of giving credit where credit belongs (applause) and of with holding it where it does not belong. An Antiquated View. "There are people In congress and in the senate, conscientious, hard working, prominent statesmen, who looked at the question of conservation as It might have been looked at 20 or 30 years ago. They are still in favor of letting out the land and getting set tlers on it; not in favor of a careful method of conservation and preserva tion I api, not critlc.sing them.

When your honorable committee visited me, there fore, I. yielded to the temptation and agreed to again become .your guest when you should meet to celebrate the day that awaset heart throbs m every true eon of Ireland. " 'St. Patrick's cay Li the morning.' I never quite understood the signfi- cance of the last th.:e words of that phrase unless they meant that the brightness of the morning did not wear away until long In the night of the day in the Bpirit of those who are loyal to the anniversary. On such an occasion as this one's mind turns nat urally to the history of that beautlf.il island. "With her back toward Eng land, her face to the west,' and the part that St. Patrick flayed In her ci7 lllzatlon and development. "From 1820 until 1907. 18,000,000 for eigners have settled in the United States, and. of these 3,800,000 were from Ireland. These immigrants, many of them ignorant and uneducated, but sturdy laborers, gave to their children and benefits of public education and the equality of opportunity which has been so characteristic of life in the United States since the beginning of Its history, and today it la not too much to say that the Irish citizens of this country and, their immediate de scendants occupy a distinctly higher place in society and in the community than they did a generation ago. The amalgamation between the Irishmen and Americans has gone on and the Irish are rapidly being absorbed, and rapidly contributing their share to the new distinct type of American. "In all our wars. Irishmen have been at the front. They, are naturally a war like people, and their patriotic love for their adopted country has made them soldiers in the army of the United States. HI Vlult to Ireland. "I well remember visiting the Emer ald isle, now a quarter of a century ago. What struck me .most in our progress' throughlreland was the light ning flash of repartee from every son and daughter of the soil whom we ad dressed. The history of Ireland is such that until very recent years its great sons were cut off either as mar tyrs of rebellion, like Robert Emmet or Wolf Tone, or were driven to man ifest their brilliant intellectual. powers and great traits of character iu other lands than that of their birth. "Never in the history of the world has there been for the making of a new citizenship such a commingling and a mixture of races as we have had In this country to make a typical American. "We have opened wide the door; have invited all the people of Europe; we made but one condition they shall become law-abiding, peaceful citizens, supporting the government." ml It f 41 wear W 4 Ladies' WW in the newest styles. vi"'''' of smart "m worsteds. mhV--'-7 .kirts. all I .re you going to meet your friends on Easter 2 spick and span clothes that you'd like to You can if you will let us clothe you on our Liberal Credit Easy Payment Plan. and otnespuns. tailored Misses' Suits the most desiraole shades diagonals, plain and fancy black and white check fancy worsteds and pretty Tunic or plaited style handsomely $ 15 Men's Suits and Coats The materials are aD the finest fabrics in the newest and most popu lar novelties for Spring.

More Than the Mere Shilling Differ ence Between Them. "Funny thing," said the writer, who had Just received a check for 2 2s. frem London, "how the editor over in England paid me In guineas, not In English pounds. . In fact. It would be an Insult If the editor had simply paid me 12. "They've two kinds of money ovef there. One klad Is straight business money. An even 2 would have meant In effect that I had performed a rou tine job of some kind, such as compil ing a table of statistics for the editor, and that I was being paid for mechan ical labor. "But the editor adds an extra shil ling to every pound he pays me. This means that I am not supposed to have performed any labor at all, but to have created a work of art and submitted this work of art otherwise literature for art's sake. "My check Is written Two guineas,' and the envelope in which It Is sent me la addressed 'John Smith, Esq. This In effect Is a second recognition that I have submitted a piece of liter ary art. Yet the figures on the check are '2 2a.' to prevent errors in bookkeeping. "If I'd been on the staff of the pe riodical my salary would be paid me In pounds sterling, for then I'd be supposed to be working for pay and, according to English ideas, no longer a gentleman. "These two kinds of money, guineas and pounds, show up in many curious ways. All professional men are paid In guineas. If you are running a big private school yon make a charge in guineas for tuition, and parents of your pupils pay you In guineas be cause you're supposed to be merely engaging In an altruistic, philanthropic project of building brawn and brain for Britain. But yon pay the teachers in your school in pounds sterling, for they're supposed to be working for pay, not for love.. "If you're a doctor you make your bills for professional services out In guineas. Barristers are paid in guin eas, iloree race prizes are given in guineas for all gentlemen's races. .Xhe most curious mixture of all Ja j the clergyman's u.v. This Is a queer mixture of commercial and profession al ideas. The charge of a parish' Is known as a living and Is paid In pounds sterling, but if a wedding or a christening takes place In the parish the clergyman receives a personal fee. always guineas Instead of pounds. "Artists are paid in guineas. The late James MncNelll Whistler, who bad delightful habit of turning a keen wit on friends and making enemies thereby, was once paid for a work of art In pounds sterling, a delicate im plication that Whistler was a dauber and a tyro. "Two trades are paid in guineas for goods purchased, but other trades are paid in pounds sterling. These trades are the Interior decorator and the jew eler. The Jeweler's goods are suppos ed to be works of art. and such com mercial articles as watch chains and watches are priced in guineas. Cer tain swell and exclusive London tai lors, to whom you have to be Intro duced, by the way, charge you In guineas for the coats and trousers they consent to make for you. Directors of companies were for merly paid In guineas for their attend ance. They are now paid In pounds sterling, but when a pound sterling Is In minted gold it Isn't a pound sterling any more, but a sovereign. The idea is that directors of com panies are always feed In gold, and as sovereigns only are coined now they are paid in sovereigns. The only ex ception Is the directorate of the Bank of England. The members of the board are paid In golden guineas, part of a small store kept In the bank and dated In the early years of the last century. "A gentleman wagers with his friends In guineas. He buys a hunter or a pony polo from a friend in guin eas, but in pounds from a horse trad er. But if he Is buying a work horse from a friend and equal he pays In oounds sterling. "If a gentleman wagers with a book maker at a race track be posts bis bet In pounds. If be tries to break the bank at Monte Carlo be puts up his wagers on the roulette wheel In gold twenty franc pieces and speaks of his winnings or losses In pounds sterling, while he mentions his winnings or losses at bridge, paid In gold, In guin eas. "There re hundreds of delicate dis tinctions In British etiquette in the matter of money. One of the most curious is that of, a certain London club where the members receive their change In gold, silver and penny post age stamps, neither paper money nor copper being given, and gentlemen are lot supposed to know any money ex cept coined York Sun. gold and sliver."
