IN GREAr FALLS.

GREAT FALLS, March 23.-"Caed Mile
Failthe" that legend which expresses in
Celtic the very essence of welcome
and which is always displayed con-
spicuously upon banners whenever tho
occasion calls the sons of the Emerald
isle together to observe and celebrate an
important occurrance in Irish history,
was not wanting at the first annual ball
of the Irish-AmerIcan club of Great Falls
held Monday evening. Ii was printed in
great letters of green across the face of a
large banner which hung from the ceiling
directly inside the main entrance to Real
ty hall. Fully aware of the hospitable
sentiments which it expressed, the visitor
did not have to read il more than once to
know that he was welcome to the ball
given in honor of Ireland's patron saint,
for as the reader well knows St. Patrlck's
day fell on Sunday this year and its OBJ
servance, at least socially, was put off
until the next day. The visitor was taken
in charge by the reception committee and
made to feel he was not among strangers.
As ne glided along tho polished floor to
the tune of excellent music furnished by
Professor Races orchestra, he was bound
to be favorably impressed with the man
ner in which the harp-emblazoned lag OF
Old Erin and the Stars and Stripes inter-
mingled on every side. As ST. Patrick's
day ball IT took precedence over similar
events in the Cataract city. About 30
couples were present. Supper was served
at the Grand Central hotel. As such
affairs go, II was success. The gray
streaks of the approaching dawn were to
be seen above the Highwood mountains
when the merry ball came to an end. The
following committees deserve praise for
the success of the first ball given by the
Irish-American club:
