The make up of the venerable saint would have been appealed to from all standpoints: the sublime, the radicul- ous, the sober, the frivolous, the comi- cal, the dramatic, the religious, the worldly, the reminiscent, the prOspec- tive, the hideous. the beautiful. All the complex emotional iutrlcacies of the patron would have found ample en- vironment for wide activity.
 The weather being threaten ng, the day was largely given to amusement. All sorts of green was displayed, vary ing in kind from the symmetrical sham rock to the spruce bough, and in size from the minute button hole badge that modesty prescribcs, to the large and flashy that from dime n~iOn alone is sui ficient to attract ali attention.

OBSERVATIONS

BY THE STROLLER

IF perseverance, energy, persistence, ! doggedness, indomitableness and
 anything else which denote the stayer count for anything then surely Jack Calvin qualities for the council. Many years ago Jack was employed by large meat establishment in Tacoma. It was bis duty to ''try" to collect bad accounts. A very prominent attorney ol that city, looked upon as the incarn- ation of shrewdness, was on Jacks list for $ll. Each advance on the collect OTIS part was met by clever subter- fuge on the debtors, until finally the Galvinic ire reached stage which boded no good for the advocate, with the ophidian faculty to outdo his cred. itOrs.
 One sunny afternoon Jack spied his quarry astride an excellent mount, ar rayed in faultless tops and spacious doe skins. Jack spurred his steed to the side ol the shre wd one and for the Both tlme:presented his torn and dilapitated bill for II simoeons. "Thats all right old man, I'll be in the first thing in the morning and settle that small matter with you: you see I'm so busy; l really haven't time to think of anything. At present Pm due at Spanaway drives and you must excuse me-" Mot with me-" said Jack, ''you fork over that money or I'll take little ride to Span away drives myself and you bet I'll make things tropical for you when get there.'' Jacks ultimatum was grandly ignored. Spurs and quirt got into action and flying horseilesh was the next scene in this little play. Law yer noticed that butcher knew how tC ride pony and after i've miles had been covered with Jack still at his heels the lawyer thought it perhaps might be the wlsest thing to settle witt this tartar of collector and handed him over the amount overdue. "YOuns fellow," said he, Eff ever you need s position come and see me-yOu1l gel the money no matter where it is."
