THE SHAMROCK

We frequently hear mucn about the
shamrock.
How many of us know much about
it?
In the dim past the name shamrock
is supposed to have been applied to
plant of the genus oXalis, or wood
sorrell, which also has trifoliate
leaves
Just now numerous pans of oXalis
are to be seen at their best at Hor-
ticultural Hall, Paramount Park, Phil
adelphia. They are in the East Hall.
Not everybody knows how this
plant, which is commonly known as
the white trefoil and white cloyers.
came to be the emblem of Ireland. =
One authority G1oyer) says that
when St. Patrick first preached the
Christian faith in Ireland before a
powerful chief and his people, he did
not think it wise to enter into theo-
logical definition when asked to eN-
plain the Trinity, so cast about him
for some simple little image that
would enlighten rather than puzzle.
So St Patrick stopped to the earth
and picked from the green sod
which is so softly green because
there is not much sunshine and a
good deal of moisture-a shamrock.
He held this trefoil up before the
people and babe them behold one in
three.
The chief was at once convinced.
as were all his people. and they
straightway adopted the faith preach
ed by the interesting saint, so the
legends run.-Philadelphi Record.

An Enstcr Tragedy.

1t was awful, as they tell 1t in the town Of

That contains 80 much of horror as was
brought about by that.
Miss wiggles was lady with millinery
taste
That was truly quite remarkable; I never
knew Its Ike;
She could make II splendid bonnet from the
merest bit of waste.
bonnet that cen Virot at her best
would hardly strike.
But 1t latterly did happen--oh. how sad Q
tale to tell =
Miss wiggles gave up ribbons and laid
In a stock Of wings,
Little wings Of little brides and the larger
ones as we'll
She didn't even spare the little yellow
bird that sings.
And then on Easter Sunday. with her hat
With twenty seven pinions struggling all
about the rim,
Miss Wlgg!es went to service. and. a.

Now how 1t was It happened confess

A miracle doubt not must have been
the cause of 1t:
But as she sat demurely In the very fore

Those wings began to futter and to wob-

And before the poor dear lady could take
out her bonnet-pins
And free herself. the bonnet hauled her
upward by the hair.
And with sundry pirouettings and with sew

She fioated UP the steeple and out in the
open air.
So let this be warning to you maidens Il

Bald Heads Conc Up in Tennessee.

There is movement now on foot
to make fight on the bald-headed
trust on the subernatorial chair that
has been filling this distinguished
seat for a number OF years. At the
recent Inauguration of Governor Fra
zier there were present eX-Governors
Taylor and McMl.lin. The procession
was formed in the hall of the Capitol,
and two eX-governors marched arm in
arm to the House of Representatives.
Behind them was Commissioner En-
loe, and after it was all over Mr.. En-
loe was telling a story in the lobby Of
the Tulane. He said that while he
witnessed the ceremony in front of
him sat McMillin and Taylor, with
lneir bald heads showing. He then
looked up at the present Governor
Frazier, and there was a bald spot
there, and before he knew it his hand
was on the back of mis- head feeling
for bald spot, but he could not find
it. In few moments eX-Congress-
man Joe Washington appeared on the
scene; his hat was removed, and the
favorite spot was missing: likewise
Harvey Hannah, Newton H. White.

have gubernatorial bees in their hats,

the gubernatorial chair should be
