This la only one of the Indirect results of the campaign for Industrial and agricultural improvement that began In 1899 with the establishment of the Irish Agricultural Organization society. Later the government department of agriculture and technical Instruction took up the educational work of the younger body. The Dublin international extmsllion of 1907 will show these two organizations have not worked In vain. Their well planned efforts to show the Irish' farmer how to make the most out of In the purhla land, how to chase of modem machinery and the marketing of hla croiia, and the establishment of more than 2IH) agricultural banks have had splendid results. In societies all, over 800 (fifty of them for home industries) have been formed by the LA.O.B. In the Industrial field the department of agriculture and Technical Instruction haa done even more for the betterment of Ireland. It has established 800 science laboratories and manual training schools, and Its general program of scientific education la In operation In 400 schools which have nearly 40,000 pupils. The fruits of this five years' work are seen every day in the Increase of It eland's manufacturing Over 70,000 people are emoutput, ployed In textile Industries, and the home or "collage" Industries are likewise prospering. Thera never waa so large an output or a better demand for Irish laces end embroideries, Ireland is training Its own skilled labor for al) klnda of manufacturing Industries and educating the most skillful dairymen, poultry raise ra, farmers and cattlemen. The exposition of 1907 will worthily celebrate the progress Ireland la making.

"I feel that 1 never care to look Into my husband's face again," continued -It was with great Mrs. Simpson. hesitation and unwillingness that I finally consented to go upon the witness stand, but when thought the matter over I saw my duty clearly. -I testified to the truth ae I saw it, and I am glad to have It clearly known that X had no hesitation In revealing all that paaaed between my husband and myself after the tragedy.

It Is interesting to note that the women of the town have become ardent advocates of the Innocence of Dr. Simpson, and both Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Horner, widow of the dead man, are condemned In the harshest terms for their uncompromisingly antagonistic attitude to the accused denfath-er-ln-l- cold-blood- ed X tist In striking contrast to the bitterness shown by Mrs. Simpson and Mrs. Horner against the accused, la the dentist's declaration that he still loves his wife and feels that hla mother-in-lahas treated him unjustly.
