IT. PATRICK.

The other day as we were writing in
our dull and stupid way, we happened
to look up and saw passing cur window
many people who were adorned with
green. Green badges, green ribbons,
green shamrock leaves and green neck
ties, etc. When we asked the meaning
of 1t all they said, why don't you know
this is the 18th of March, the natal day
of st. Patrick, the patron Saint of Ire
land. And was St. Patrick an Irishman
we inquired 2 Why, certainly he was,
they answered, how else could his name
be Patrick? We asked this question
lust TO see how much the average citi-
zen Of this day even among the Irish
knows about the great and blessed st.
Patrick.
Now history says that st. Patrick
was born in Scotland of Scotch par
ents, that he was stolen by pirates and
carried to Ireland and sold to a slave
master. This was when he was about
the age of Is years. He served as a slave
about six years when he escaped and
went home to Scotland. Not long after
this the Angel victorious came to him in
a vision saying come holy youth and be
one Of us. He was also shown that it
was his duty to return to Ireland and
teach that people who were in the depth
of ignorance and superstition a pure re
ligion. His parents tried to persuade
him not to go to that b%enighted land
where he had suffered so much, but he
went. He preached first to his slave
companions and they believed and were
baptized. Then he taught the other
wild tribes and they also became con-
verts until nearly the whole of the in
habitants Of Ireland worshiped st. Pal
rick and believed in his teachings. lie
established 365 churches in Ireland, bap-
tized 10000 converts, and appointed 400
preachers Of his doctrine. He taught
industry and sound morals, and although
he was uneducated such was the power
Of his mind, Tor that of his invisible
helpers) that he formulated and estab-
lished an excellent government among
the people. Now there are but few who
knew these things about St. Patrick, but
they all know that he was an lrishman
and that he banished the toads and
snakes from Ireland, and that they seem
to think is enough to know about one
man. eyen if he was a good one.

The South Dakota Exhibit.

Mr.. S. W.. Russell, chairman Of the
! South Dakota Worlds Fair commission,
will leave Deadwood in a few days
for st. Louis, where he will superintend
| the arrangements Of the South Dakota
exhibit, which he says will be complete
by the 30th Of April, the opening day.
All agree that Mr.. Russell deserves great
credit for the efficiency and energy he
has displayed in the management ofthis
business from the first. Although the
appropriation was small, yet such has
been the concessions and individual help
that we are told hat all things consider
ed, South Dakota's exhibit, especially
that portion of it devoted to mining and
milling in the Black Hills will be very
fine. Every mining section in the world
will be represented, and many Of their
exhibits will be extremely tasteful, ele-
CANT and grand. Still South Dakota and
the Black Hills will have no occasion to
feel ashamed of its exhibit, as it has a
conspicuous place, ample room, and is
very tastefully designed. The Black
Hills will have one very important feat
ure in which it be alone, and that is in
this. 1t will have a five stamp quartz
mill complete, with concentrators, ANAL
gamation plates and O cyanide me
This will show the process complete, and
as it will be in continuous operation dur
ing the fair, it will fully illustrate the
method of reducing ores in the Black
Hills.
A friend Of ours, in writing from st,
Louis, has this to say Of the fair. "The
weather in St. Louis has been unusually
disagreeable this winter, which has hin.
dered to some extent the operations on
the fair grounds. But although it is not
yet complete, yet even as it is today, it
is a grand and beautiful thing" These
are the days of strikes and accidents and
of wars and rumors of wars, but we sim
cercly hope that nothing will transpire
to mar the progress of this the greatest
fair the world has ever seen.

Good Spirits.

Good spirits don't all come from Ken
lucky. Their main source is the liver
and all the fine spirits ever made in the
Blue Grass State could not remedy bad
liver or the hundred-and one i'll effects it
produces. You can't have good spirits
and a bad liver at the same time. Your
liver must be in fine condition If you
would feel buoyant, happy and hopeful
bright of eye, light of step, vigorous and
successful in your pursuits. You can put
your liver in fine condition by using

Mr.. j. f. Pitcher will leave for st.
Louis tomorrow evening to take charge
of the South Dakota mineral exhibit.
Joe has held positions of this character
at several fairs and has always given the
best of satisfaction. We must therefore
concede that he is the right man in the
right place. 1t is a hard position to fill
as we have had occasion to learn, and
the man who undertakes it without help
will find the job fraught with more hard
work and close confinement than any
thing he ever undertook before. We
wish him success.
