through the merits and prayers of the
most holy Father Patrick, entirely
ceased in Hybernia."
1t is a pleasure to see JoceGn's faith
in his stories. After telling of St.
Patricks changing wicked ruler
into fox he adds: "And this no one
can reasonably diSbelieve who hath
read the story Of the Wife of Lot,
who was changed into pillar of salt,
or the history of King NabuchOdo-
nOsor.' When it came time for St.
Patrick to die st. Bridget prepared
his burial robe and a 'choir CT angels
kept the heavenly watch and walked
around the Body
Like modern writers, JOcelin eX-
plains why he wrote his book. "The
life of the most glorious Priest Pat
rick" he says, $50 illustrious in signs
and miracles, being frequently writ
ten by illiterate persons, through the
confusion and obscurity of the style,
is by most people neither liked nor
understood. but is held in WEAKNESS
and contempt" There is no danger
of Jocelin falling into such disrepute.
His work has lasted 800 years and is
still as fresh and interesting as when
he laboriously spelled it out in his
monastery at FurneS.
The bare facts about st. Patrick
are that he was probably born in Scot
land about 372, was sent as mission
ary to Ireland in 432, and died at
Saul, Ulster, i'm 465. He dealt eau
tiously and shrewdly with the peoples
beliefs, won over the chieftainS and,
through them, their clans. From his
autobiography he appears to have
been an earnest, devoted, simple
minded missionary, worthy of the
homage which Ireland pays his men,
ory to-day.

BRIEF CHAPTERS.
BY FLORA BULLOCK.
For The Courier

The only kind Of men like is them
that does things"
The keeu.eyed old sheriff who had
rid the camp and cleared the canyon Of
law-breakers and desperadoes. who had
made law, when there was none to suit
him. perhaps did not mean by doing
things just what you or | would mean.
He thought Of rounding up cattle, find
ing gold in the hills. aud fighting In
diaus. But he expressed the modern
philosophy jus. as clearly as Elbert
Hubbard, who votes himself its priest,
can possibly utter it. The doing OF
something-with ones hands. visibly-
how slowly and awkwardly, with what
turmoil and foolish experimentation is
the world. coming to realize that this is
an ultimate good. 1t was thoroughly
ground into the race that book lore. So
called knowledge, which, after all. con-
sists chiefly in knowing the names OF
things, was the pearl of greatest price.
The man who could only do things was
not counted in; it was the man who
knew. who had gone to college, learned
Latin and Greek and minor branches.
He excited awe and inspired the young
sters to follow the same path.
The reaction from this belief TO new
one which not only declares a dividend
OF honors for those who do anything
masterfully, but assaults the whole
theory of book learning" has become
so strong, that one almost expects to
see the time when it will be considered
a disgrace to have gone through college.
Almost, say. because along with every
new thought comes new hope, and the
race as a whole never tears down but TO
build anew and better. Progress in
educational methods may come at a
snailis pace; revolution is hardly posi-
BILE. But il is coming surely enough in
lower grade work and most of US who
count no gray hairs today will see
strange Thugs happen in college class
rooms ere we go.
The idea not merely OF honOring the
man who does things. but the deeper
realization that he, after all. is the one
who really knows, makes its way as
voice through all the fog and dead hush
of ancient conservatism. Ii will be
heard and acted upon. until every
branch OF knowledge feels its power and
all valuable learning will come through
doing.
But we shall then be ready for other
things. for the scatteratlon Of titles and
college self-esteem, the annihilation OF
inane honor systems and all the arti-
fetal frippery that has been made a
part of college traditions. 1t would not
do to give the prisoner too much air all
at once. Let freedom come, little by
little. Let each one think his own
thoughts and do what be can.

Soldiers Sell Jewelry.

Soldiers from the transport Warren
We're busy last night selling various
articles of more or less value to people
whom they met on the streets. Some
of them had pinchbeck jewelry, and
piled their trade in dark alleys and in
doorways, or in any place protected
from the vision of the policemen. An
Americanized Chinese was one of the
purchasers of cheap rings which are
probably not worth more than five
cents each. While he was making the
dicker with soldier and had placed
three rings upon his finger, a citizen
saw the transaction and confronting
the Chinese (the soldier had quickly
left after making the sale), told him
he ought TO show them to a policeman.
One was found on the corner and after
explaining how he came into posses
sion of the rings the officer sent the
Chinese to the station The rings were
taken possession of by the clerk and
the Celestial allowed to depart with
the injunction to appear at the Deputy
Sheriff's office this morning.
