...Republicans got there first. Some 800 of them, scowling young men from the hills of Leitrim and neighboring counties, came into town with slouch hats pinned up on one side and formidable tape-wound hurleys in their hands. They went systematically about the business of keeping the Orangemen out of Cootehill. One squad wrecked the meeting hall. Others tore up the railway lines between Coote hill and Ballybay, and near Clones. Tele phone and telegraph wires were cut, barricades of felled trees laid, trenches dug across the roads. When General O'Duffy and his faithful troops arrived (hopping...

...junction of Rio de Janeiro's Avenida Rio Branco and Avenida Beira-Mar stands an obelisk, pride of the city. Last week 16 slouch-hatted gauchos (cowboys) with ponchos over their shoulders and red handkerchiefs knotted about their necks rode up to it and solemnly hitched their ponies to its base while camera shutters clicked and black-coated pedestrians cheered themselves hoarse.

On Oct. 21 in Syracuse, Paderewski begins a nationwide tour of 72 concerts. He will travel as always in a private car (cost: approximately $25,000), take...
...thousand revolutionists, mostly farmers in blue overalls with rifles slung from their shoulders, sauntered into town. Citizens cheered half-heartedly from the curbstones. Back from Santiago de los Caballeros came the mud-spattered runabout coupe, and seated beside Courier Cabot was "Supreme Chief" Urena. On his head, a slouch hat, from the pocket of his flannel shirt protruded a fountain pen, from his shoulder hung a broad-bladed sword, its handle ivory-inlaid. U. S. Minister Curtis ran over from his legation. Ensued a weighty conference at the Presidential mansion...
