aghast at the proposition as a
l vote-destroyer.

the Democracy of Louisiana gives

campaign. His first speech is a

the sincerity of these pledges

According to Samuel Lover, the Irish poet,
the date for the celebration of SAINT Patrick 5
Day was once mooted question. Some
authorities declared that the Saint born
on the eighth of March, while others insisted
that his birthday came on the ninth. 1t was
Father Mulcahy who finally struck the happy
thought of putting these two dates together,
thus setting the seventeenth for the day ID
celebration, and it was the same witty priest
who is credited by the poet with No one
could have two birthdays, but twins.
An Englishman writing letter IN d
coffee house, and perceiving that an lrishman,
stationed behind him, was reading over his
shoulder, saw fit to reprove the Hibernian.
He concluded writing his letter in these words,

man is reading over my shoulder every word

self convicted Hibernian.
