PRETTY LEGENDS
ct. PATRICK ONE OF THE GREAT
EST CHRISTIAN WORKERS
EVER IN IRELAND.
Beautiful Traditions Surrounding His
Infancy-Was 1870 Years of.Age At
Time of Death-MarveIous Success
Of His Work on Emerald Isle.

From Thursdays Daily
Today is the anniversary of the
death of st. Patrick, one of the patron
saints of the Roman Catholic church
who for sixty years labored among the
people of the Emerald Isle in the in
terests of the church and did much for
the uplifting of the race and the pro-
motion of the cause of humanity. Spe-
cial services were held at st. Mary's
and st. Fatrick's churches this
morning.
The conversion of Ireland marked
one of the critical points in the history
of Ireland. According to tradition, ST.
Patrick was born in the year S73 A. d.
He was the son of a Roman senator
and was early converted. Regarding
Patrick's infancy, various beautiful le-
gends foreshadowing his future sane
tity are eXtant. 1t is said that his
nurse took him to a priest, blind from
his birth, to be baptized, and there be-
ing no water at hand the priest made
a sign of the cross on the ground with
the infants hand, whereupon a spring
of water gushed forth, with which
.,W3shing his own eyes he received his
sight and then baptized the child.
Some time after this, his nurse hav-
ing taken him to a great popular as
sembly, the man who carried him drop
ped dead and his weeping relatives,
aware of Patrick's supernatural gift
cried out "Why child, didst thou let
theman who was carrying thee die?"
Then Patrick. though too young to I'M
derstand what they meant, threw his
arms aroung the mans neck, saying:
Get up and let us go home" And the
many obeying. got up and went home
in perfect health.

our contemporary, the Fulton Com
mercisl. figures it out that Paducah
has 9s saloons, and that at an average
daily income of $40 = day Paducahsns
spend 1868, $50 a year for drink. 1t
adds: "The amount of money saved
would pay of the entire city debt,
build new market house, enlarge
the city hall, and build miles of streets
and sidewalks. Our contemporary
should not be misled. In the first

in the second, a great deal Of that

YET SEEN ON THIS SUBJECT
MAKES Us THINKSo."
. The publication in the Herald of all
the correspondence between Mr., Nc
Clure and the Kentuckians who were
responsible for the McQuown article
shows plainly that it was nothing but
a political stunt calculated to revive
partisan feeling and to justify the
partisan outrages Of q certain coterie
of Kentucky Democrats whose aim is
to hang certain alleged conspirators
land damn the Republican party in
Kentucky.
The Herald appropriately declares
in committing on it:
mo politics in this No politics
in the prosecution of Powers No
politics in packing the jury No pol
itics in bounding this unfortunate
and helpless man to his death in order
to make the Republican party respon-
sible for Goebel's death
No politics! OF course not. These
people are merely careful of the
honor of the state. That is why
Breathitt county's contributions to the
dishonor OF the state receive the re-
ward of careful political protection. "

THE LAUGH ON JUDGE PARKER
Judge Alton b. Parker, Democratic
nominee for president, is already
learning his lesson in the school of
politics. 1t Is young lady VINO has
given him his first hard jolt-not a
knockout IN the solar plexus, but .
punch that csnnot fail to have disa-
greeable effect just the same, and all
New York is laughing
She recently brought suit because
Of the alleged use of her photograph
as an advertisement, and the vote OF
Judge Parker in the court OF
appeals lost the case for her. Recently
the judge himself has been sorely
tried by the camera tend, so much so
that Mrs. Parker left home to escape,
and the judge was provoked to testify
declare:
II reserve the right to put my hand
in my pocket and assume some com
Portable attitude without being ever
lastingly afraid that l shall be snspp-
ed by some fellow with Il camera. q
The young lady now comes back at
him in an open letter published in
the New York papers, in which she
says:
81 take this opportunity TO remind
that you have no such right as that
which you assert. have very high
authority for my statement, being
nothing less than a decision of the
court of appeals of this state, wherein
you wrote the prevailing opinion.
~ desired an injunction against the
defendants restraining the further use
of my photograph. The question arose
upon demurrer, ana the special term
held that the complaint entitled me
to relief. The appellate division of
the Fourth department unanimously
affirmed that decision, and upon ap-
peal to the court Of appeals this latter
court was divided, three Of the judges
deciding with you that the facts fur
nished no grounds for relief and three
dissenting. You referred to my cause
of action as 'so-called invasion Of
privacy, and admitted that such pub
licity which some find agreeable is
to plaintiff very distasteful and that
suffered mental distress, when 9TH
ers would have appreciated the com
pliment to their beauty" and In an
opinion sixteen pages long you arrived
at the conclusion that / had no rights
that could be protected by your tribu-
nsl. l sincerely hope that If you suff
er annoyance of this kind in some 10.
calities where your decision is not con-
trolling you may be granted the relief
which you denied me-"
Thus the doughty jurist who
had the courage to declare for Re-
publican principle after ne had the
Democratic nomination for president
clinched-and not before-is remind
ed that consistency is jewel, and
what is sauce for the goose should be
sauce for the gander.
