lenged no less a person than King Leag- haire himself to a manifestation of power ''If you will light the sticks under your kettle," said Patrick, "Is will believe in your God of Fire" The king scornfully ordered the kindlngs to be lighted. But to the amazement of the attendants, the sticks would not burn. After the men exhausted themselves in the effort to make the fire, Patrick blew upon the wood and straight way blaze arose.
 The Druid High Priest was exceedingly wroth when he heard of this and challeng- ed Patrick to work a miracle in his presence. Patrick, who was at that time about forty years old, In his very prime, confident and strong of his powers called all the Druid priests together at high noon, and there, in the presence of them all, called upon the Most High to cover the earth with darkness. In the twink ling of an eye the whole world became as black as midnight
 These things caused the fame of Patrick to spread greatly, so that, after a while, he became the greatest power in Ireland

amusement to be extracted from It. There are many amusing things to be found in its record of the speeches on Porto Aican affairs
 For instance, on page 240o MT. Cannon then speaking on the bill to impose duty on trade with Porto Rico, is recorded as Eaying:
 'sIf you spread free trade over those peo- pce and make no provision for immediate money, are you going to vote it out of the treasury? We on this side have to con- struct; we have got to look out; we have got ito do something. This bill must pass, or We must vote $2000,O0O cut of the treas ury for the coming year to care Tor Porto Rico. We do not like to do tdat
 That was on February 27. The bill was passed next day, just as MT. Cannon want ed Il. On March 2, just three days after that declaration the same MT. Cannon re- ported a bill, the object of which he ex- p,ained by saying, reported in the Con- gressional Record:
 The bill which I have the honor to pro- pose, and which is now under consldera icn, aippropriates all the revenues upon all the imports from Porto Rico since the Spanish evacuation to the 1st of January, 1900-$2,- coo GOO and over. (Page 2o64)
 This is a plain humane, business propo- stion ;lhat the money wilich has come into our treasury under your law and mine from these importations together with the money that may hereafter come into the treasury under existing lews on this sub ject shall, until congress directs otherwise, go for the benefit of the government and the people of the island of Porto Rico. All on this side are going to vote for N Page 256S)
 So the 15 per cent. tariff til was passed to save MT Cannon and his associates from voting g GOO 900 out Of the Urea sury against their will and MT. Cannon and his associ- ates then voted the $2,000,000 out of the treasury with great alacrity as "a plain, humane, business proposition That Can mon shoots in any direction the master gum ner points it.

believed in the life and death of the Nazar- enc, who lived only three hundred years before; and when his parents, who were among the early Christians, told him tales of the Christ he listened and drank in their teachings, gradually growing up in a belief in the Word of God.
 Just how the parents of the young Pat rick came into France is not known It is supposed that they fled into Gaul, as France was then called, because of trouble in ancient Rome. They were very aristo- cratic Romans, the father Calphumius being a man of wealth and position. Con- chessa, the mother of St. Patrick, was a handsome woman whose chief joy in life was the instruction of her children.
 KIDNAPPED.
 At the age of sixteen Patrick was tall. slender lad of noble countenance and of such strength that he was known for miles around for his feats of prowess.
 In those days, Gaul was very unsettled ; and the waters that laved its shores were filled with pirate vessels.
 One day, while young Patrick and his sister were walking on the borders of their fathers estate a band of pirates who had come ashore upon surreptitous missions suddenly descended upon them and cap tured the boy. In spite of his struggles they bound him and carried him away, leaving his little sister upon the hilltop watching their departure.
 
 of him for many a day; for the pirates took him into a strange land, peopled with a race of human beings who knew neither law nor duty.
 Ireland, when the boy Patrick set foot in it, is described by the historians a country that was the scene of carnage. The beautiful land, even then green and fertile, ran with blood from one end to the other and none knew at night If he would rise in the morning. Mothers bade their sons fearful farewell as they went out to work in the field and fathers wept for their daughters Rival Kings ruled diff ferent parts of the island, and each year saw them rise up In terrific combat. The ruling king, the one possessed dominion over the greater part of the island at that time, was Leaghaire; and young Patrick found himself a subject of this warlike ruler.
 The religion of Ireland was that of the sun and fire worshippers. A few Christians there were, but they were persecuted and were obliged to worship their God in

the work was consolidated and built up into a firmly established religion.
 He was in place called Uladh when he was warned that death was near The saint proceeded towards Armagh, where he wished to be buried. but he was told in a dream to return to the province of Uladh. which was the scene of his first triumphs. When he arrived at Saul he took to his bed, and on the 17th. of March, A. D. 492, sixty years after his arrival In Ireland and at the age of 12O, the patron saint of Ireland breathed his last, surrounded by converts of his ministry. He found in Ireland 3,0O0,- GOO of pagans and in sixty years he had changed the religious aspect of the land to an almost incredible degree.
 Ireland has commemorated him in many ways, and his movements during his long stay there can be almost individually traced by the names of the various places and institutions which bear his honored name.
 The island on which he landed is called Innispatrick, which means island of St. Patrick, while the famous Cathedral of St. Patrick in Dublin is built upon the very spot upon which the patron saint establish ed the first Christian church that Dublin had, B..

 At first young Patrick was horrihed to find himself in 6 country of Druids; and then he did as only one of his strong . character could have done. He set to work to Christianize the country.
 BEGINNING. HIS WORK.
 Fortunately, If the legends are to be be- neved, he was gifted suddenly with the power of working miracles; and when he could not move the people by his advice and instruction, he stretched forth his hand and worked miracle.
 It Is conceded to be true that, at this time, the earnest young Christian had the power of the supernatural. This must be accepted by ali those who believe that miracles have ever been wrought. But, even divested of these powers, Patrick lived a marvellous life.
 Many are the miracles that are now at tributed to Ireland's patron saint. The tale of how he took a sounding brass lnstru- ment, closely resembling a modern drum, beat upon 1t until all the snakes came out of their holes has been told and how, still beating he called the snakes after him, until they all came together at the water 5 edge. At another wild beating of the drum the snakes tumbled into the water. They tell also how Patrick once chal-

Through the mists of time, which grad uafly- obscure persons and facts We may peer into the past, striving to discern the figures of distant times and to trace their steps as they move vapory and shadowy through that dim atmosphere
 Of several things regarding the man . wtns ts known today as St. Patrick we are certain. First. that he lived about three hundred years after Christ-many cyclo- pedias put 1t at 372-and that he was born in the sunny land of France.
 France is today to a great extent Catholic country, but whether that can be even remotely attributed to St. Patrick is doubtful, though his chroniclers have tried to make it so But the fact that Ireland is the strongest Catholic country In the world is largely due to the influence of the man who lived there fifteen hundred years ago.
 No adYenturer ever lived the life of 1relands patron saint.

 Before he had Deen at work long there was no spot left untouched by the new religion. In the year 1443. eleven years after his arrival in Ireland, St. Petrick was 8 member of the council appointed to remodel the laws of the land on . Christian basis.

Grady got beyond his depth and Gal

was pulled under, and neither came to
the surface again. Mrs. Mary c. Boyd,
wife OF the assistant superintendent OF
the New York and Cleveland Coal COM
pany at Oak Hill, was burned to death
in peculiar manner. She was clean
ing rusty saw and was using what
she thought was elaine oil as a clean
ser. She placed the five gallon can
on the floor about six feet from tho
stove and turned around to get a rag.
Immediately there was an explosion.
She ran from the house a mass OF
flames. and though her husband quick
ly wrapped her in a blanket and
smothered the flames. she was so badly
burned that she died in agony three
hours later. Mr.. Boyd thinks his wife
had the gasoline can instead Of the oil
can, which would account for the ex-
plosion. While the neighbors were
working over Mrs. Boyd her house
burned to the ground.
