A ST. PATRICK's FR0LIC.
Miss porette Gordon Entertains.

A party of young folks in the neigh borhood of the street gathered at the home of Mrs James w. Cor don on Wednesday evening. The following little verse was sent by the hostess, Miss Dorette l.. Gordon, to each invited guest:
 St. Patrick, Irelands patron Saint, All honor to his name; His sons, though scattered far and
 wide,
 All feel their hearts aglow with
 pride.
 And celebrate his fame.
 That's we will be doing sure
 Next Wednesday night at 8,
 And we beg of you to join us too And help us celebrate. To this novel invitation came the ;, original answer,
 'o-morrow night at eight, I'll help 4 you celebrate,
 And join in games so rare and
 quaint,
 Tho Patrick's not my patron saint. Another sending regrets writes: Am sorry l cannot come, but am
 doomed to miss the fun,
 And likewise to celebrate the natal
 day of one so great.
 Still while not of Irish birth l long
 to join with you in mirth, But cruel fate keeps me away on the
 good St Patrick's Day.
 The evening was one of pure un- alloyed pleasure, the first two hours being spent in the hearty enjoy ment of old fashioned games, follow ing which refreshments were served when the guests were invited to the dining room where a surprise a. waited all and the hostess an- nounced that the occasion was also in honor of Miss Anna Cerlsrn's 18th birthday anniversary. Miss Carl son was presented with knife and requested to cut a dainty decorated birthday cake, the gift of Mrs George F. Duncombe. During the serving of ref eshmeDts of cream, cake, Irish cookies and other c.n- fections Miss Mary Kilbride was called upon and entertained the company with her recitation of ,Billy Rose," and Miss Msereguerite avanaugh read a short history and eulogy on St Patrick. inc favors were flags of Ireland. In the illus trations of proverbs ty drawing, the ladies' prize, green frog favor filled with green candy, was awarded to Miss Mary Kilbride, who cleverly illustrated "the man who holds the ladder is as bad as the thief" " Mrs Beers and Mrs Dunrorbe ware the judges. James Peck was award ed the gentleman's prize, large decorated potato, for the best illus tration of When poverty comes in at the door love flies out the win dow" His original version was When Ma comes in it the door. l fly out of the winuow." This oc- casioned much amusement. The re- plainder of tie evening was passed with more games and the merry making was not concluded until the eleventh hour. Before departing the guest a'l ioired in singing several of Moore's beautiful melodies ending with Farewell, but wkene'er you welcome the h?ur." Miss Anna Eoulihan presiding at the piano Present were Misses Anna Carlson, Mary Kilbride, Marguerite Cavan- au 'h, Anna Houlihan. and Phillips Morris, James Peck, Charles Cavan- augh, Herman TiemaIn, Jr. Rodney Shepard.

The MIrue Shamrock"

The "true shamrock" to an Irish
man, is the plant which is known by
that name around the spot of his or
his fathers birth. But the botanist
has as much trouble in identifying 1t
as he has in identifying the "mayfoW'
or" of New England, a name which Is
applied in different localities to the
trailing arbutus, to the saxifrage, to
the hepatica and to two or three other
plants. In spite Of the fact that the
hailing arbutus is the mayaower Of
New England literature, the word Is
much more commonly and popularly
applied to the saxifrage than 1t Is Il
| the arbutus.

BROUGHT OLD FOES TOGETHER
Two Results Of Deep Potations on st
Patrick's Day.

Here is an echo of st. Patrick's day
in a story that is going the rounds OF
the police officers in a certain district
In fact, the story began two years
back from the 18th of last March. AT
that time a certain son of Erin, IN
honor of the patron saint Of his coun'
try, imbibed just freely enough to
make him a bit peevish. A gentleman
whose ancestors hail from the land OF
the Kaiser Wilhelm did the same
thing, possibly because it was not the
day dedicated to the patron saint OF
his c%ountry-the average man can ind
an excuse in anything when he wants
to take a little more than Is good for
him.
With such inspiration on st. Pat
rick's day, 1907, it did not take mucn
to get up a goodly-sized quarrel be
tween the Irishman and the German
and each said mean and horrid things
about the land which the other de
lighted to honor. BY and by l
reached the You're another" stage.
And for a whole year the wv
guardians of the peace were enemies
But on St. Patrick's day next yea
the twain again INDUCED in frequen
lbations, and this time with differen

there would be a grand national dem

| 18th of March the city l was in was
decorated in green flags and Irish en-
blems auttered everywhere, the hotel
menu card was in green ink and the
evening paper came out in green.

DUETS and public speaking. What l
want to know is whether st. Patrick
or George Washington is the nations
patron saint"
Some idea of how powerful a figure
St. Patrick was may be gained by
comparing the memory of st. Patrick,
born 1885 years ago, with that OF
George Washington, who has been
dead a little more than a century.
St, Patrick went into Ireland when
It was plunged in the darkness OF
! paganism. He confronted a hostile
people with a dozen assistants. He
: carried the new civilization with him.
He met a fighting race and subdued 1t
single.handed.
His first work in reaching a com
: munity was to preach the gospel In
the native tongue of the people. This
. he did with Pauline fervor and a fire
. of conviction which fired the heart and
= imagination of the people. You car
- look at the work of any Irish prizes
u to-day and see the duplication OF st
d Patrick's method. First a talk to thu
ID people, then the building of a church
then the erection of a school, ant
n. then the exhortation to practice tn
1s Christian virtues, the succor Of tn
ID widow and the orphans, the weak, tn
lr fallen and the aged.
Patrick established universiti2
" which, by the labor of the inmates
were self-sustaining, and to which tn
Id youth of England flocked by thousand

"a confederation. Hordes Of the mort
Ia Goths and vandals, ravaged the sout

W the cloisters of the monasteries al

the Irish Latin and implanted, fl

on He introduced the arts and Graf

mi. application and love Of work. lnsti
ter tons of learning, churches and HON

~ From idleness to industry, fir
