BY REV. ID. RI. DVFFY. III h.

OF King Laogaire The intrepid Pat
rick and his companions, taking their
lives in their hands, advanced boldly
against these idols and shattered them
In pieces. The message of such men,
who proved the worthlessness of idols
OF stone. brass and gold for crom
dubh was overlaid if it was not who'll
ly made of gold, was received with
gladness, and the fame of the saint
and his companions and the gospel
they preached spread far and wide, so
that great numbers became obedient
to the faith.
st. Patrick was happy in his paren-
tage. He was, as he himself tells us,
the son of Calpurnius, deacon in the
Christian church, and the grandson of
Politus, priest or presbyter of the
same church, and his mother was Con-
chessa. sister of st. Martin of Tours
Thus he was not only the son of
Christian parents, but came of a fam
lily OF ecclesiastics on father and moth
er's sides. Like many another youth
OF Christian parents he did not know
the Lord in its spiritual signification
But when slave in the mountains of
Ireland his early teaching came home
to his soul. Slave though he was he
had learned to love the people among
whom he lived. And subsequently,
when free man, he obeyed the
promptings of his heart and the vision
of his dreams, and resigned his nobil-
ity to become missionary. when he
went everywhere throughout the is
land preaching Christ with wonderful
power to the pagan Irish, and bring,
ing multitudes into the Christian fold.
When at home at the xii or church
his usual mode of procedure was to
be accompanied with a group of holy
men clothed in white with books in
their hands, chanting the morning
service in the open air as we'll as in

March 18th at Downpatrick, where he
first preached. It was his happy lot
to see the fruits of his labors in null.
titudes who protested the faith, in
the erection of numerous churches, in
thousands of ordained clergy, and in
the establishment of colleges, which
subsequently became the most re-
nowned seats of learning in the world.
and to which students flocked from all
parts OF Europe. It has been granted
to few of Gods saints to witness such
wonderful results ere the thread of
life is severed. Well might he say
in the words of the aged Simeon as
he held the infant Savior in his arms,
Lord now lettest Thou Thy servant
depart in peace"
The legends that gather around st.
Patrick are many and absurd. How
ever it may be well to mention a few.
Holy wells are SO numerous that it
would have been impossible for the
saint to have visited them all. They
are characterized by crystal clearness.

Snakes in a wild state are a mega
tive quantity in Ireland. Whether
they ever existed there in human
times may be questioned. Some forty
years ago a practical joker conveyed
a number of snakes from England and
liberated them during the night and
unobserved. When discovered in the
morning great was the commotion
among the superstitious, and critical
were the essays Of the expert literati,
and heightened were the rhetorical
efforts of the garrulous orators. But

alas! for all the learned lore of the
savants of the United Kingdom, the
poor reptiles died, and not a snake
has since appeared to pollute the Holy
Isle. What has given rise to the legend
OF st. Patrick expelling the snakes is
no doubt its metaphorical significa-
ton that he suppressed the totemic
serpents, and expelled the snakes of
pagan doctrine by the power of the
Gospel.
Toads were also expelled, and the
legend has much the same basis for
support as the expulsion of the
snakes. The legend of the last toad,
which | heard narrated years ago in
the west of Ireland, may be deemed
worthy of notice: The Saint was
standing on the summit of Croaghpat-
rick (the highest mountain in Ire
landD watching the flight of satan
across Clew Bay, when, turning round
to glance over the Connemara hills,
he saw to his establishment a toad hid
ing under tuft of heather. AS he
approached the toad opened his mouth
and said, "Holy Patrick, spare me.

who taught the transmigration of
souls in time of irreligion." "You
taught false" says the saint IT have
an explanation of that" replied the
great philosopher. "Abaris, chief of
the Druids, and by the same token an
Irishman like yourself of great learn
ing and valiant deeds, taught me the
doctrine. That's true" says the saint,
land great and learned man he was,
and SO were you, and l will deliver
you, but you will have to go to my
purgatory and be there prepared for
a higher life." With that the saint
touched the toad with his pastoral
staff, when an explosion loud as thun-
der took place and Pythagoras was
liberated and flew awav with joy to

Washington, March 10. - The only

Tough Derg, in Donegal, where he en-.
tered Patrick's purgatory.
The legend Of the purgatory, too, is
interesting. The saint was in hot pur-
suit Of Satan. He was standing on
top of Nephin Mountain, from which
he gave a sprint and landed on a
rock in the bed of the river Moy that
still retains his footprint. Then with
a bound he lands on CROUCH Patrick.

mother still remains and the saint now
turns his attention to her. She fees
away to the north, the saint in pur-
suit. He overtakes her in a desolate
bog in Donegal, and to escape him she
rushes into lake, where all the
leeches in the "black north" had con.
gregated. They instantly seize her.
insert their fangs in her body, and
she bleeds to death. The waters be-
come colored red with her blood, and
have remained so ever since, hence
the name Tough Derg. A mighty con-
course of people had assembled and
the saint preached to them about the
torments of the lost. The Druids an
swered they couldn't accept such a
doctrine without oracular ,demonstra-
ton. Then the saint prayed for few
moments. when suddenly there was a
loud report. mighty explosion took
place, the earth opened with yawn-
ing cavity, an island was upheaved in
the Tough, and in it's center was
formed cave, which became the
entrance to the purgatory. No legend

spectacle authority has ever existed

Inferno, and in the middle ages it
threw the legend Of "the Wandering
jew" completely in the shade.

The birthplace of ST. Patrick is a
matter of dispute, but then there is
scarcely any historical fact that is not
disputed. It would be passing strange,
therefore, if any of the incidents of
so renowned a historical character as
st. Patrick, not placed beyond doubt
by demonstrable fact, were to pass I'm.
disputed. There are few now, how
ever, who will claim with the late DR..
Lannigan that he was born at Bou-
logne-Sur-Mer in France. Most his
tOrians allow that Dumbarton-o n-the-
Clyde in Scotland is the place of his
nativity. Though why his own state
ment that he was an Irishman should
be ignored, for one, am at a loss to
understand. One thing is certain: he
was not only Kelt but he belonged
to the Gaelic branch of the Kettle
race. Whether, therefore, it could be
proved he was born in Scotland or
France he was still racially Gael
that is an Irishman-and spoke Gaelic
or the Irish tongue. Perhaps to this
may be attributed much of his success
in the conversion of Ireland; and that
success was phenomenal.
st. Patrick's system of church policy
was neither diocesan, parochial, con-
gregational, nor monastic such as pre-
vailed in medieval times. 1t was
rather collegiate and missionary; or
we might say it partook of the con-
gregational, parochial, monastic and
diCcesan-a combination of what is
good in all. Had he had knowledge
OF physiological analysis, such as we
now possess, one would be inclined to
say he took his system from the hui
man body. The simplest form of his
work in any locality was the Gull,
cell, or Kill, as it is in the human or
ganism. This was the nucleus. To
the cell was drawn numbers of young
and old. Here in due time assimila-

Cleverly Made Bomb Discovered in
Rear Of Store.
Sioux City, Iowa, March Is. - This
discovery in time OF a homemade
bomb at the rear of S. Barron's second
hand store, in the thickly settled bust
ness district, doubtless prevented
conflagration here of large proper
tions. Inside a five-gallon can, partly
filled with gasoline, was a dynamite
percussion cap generally used in safe
blowing, to which was attached fuse
six feet long. The cork had been
sealed with soap such as eggmen use,
and the fuse protected from the wind
in an ingenious manner. At the time
the bomb was discovered the wind
was blowing a gale and fire in that
quarter would have swept into the
wholesale district.
