Why He Lost His Friends.

He was always wounding their feel
ings, making sarcastic or funny re-
marks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner, cranky, gloomy, pessimistic.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He never threw the doors of his
heart wide open to people, or took
them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive as
sistance from them, but always too
busy or too stingy to assist them in
their time of need.
He regarded friendship as luxury
to be enjoyed, instead of an opportu-
nifty for service.
He never learned that implicit, gen.
erous trust is the very foundation
stone of friendship.
He never thought it worth while to
spend time in keeping up his friend
ship.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone; that
there must be service to nourish it.
He did rot know the value OF
thoughtfulness in little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He was not loyal to them.
He never hesitated to sacrifice their
reputation for Eis advantage
He was always saying mean things
about them in their absence.
He measured them by their ability
to advance him.

SHAMROCKS so GREEN
Messages of Love From Those on "Ths
Old Sod"


Thousands of shamrocks are sent
to this country from Ireland for 81
Patrick's doy. They are not sent as
a commercial proposition, but as mes
sages of love from those on "the old
sod" to their dear ones here, writes;
John Mcmahon in the Indianapolis
Catholic. The shamrocks that are
sold in the United States are almost
universally American clovers, which
are larger than the Irish plant and

The real shanrocks are not for saln.
They are priced too dearly by tiei.
recipients to profaue them by barter.
They symbolic a sentiment and sen.
timcnts cannot be- bougl1t-that is, un.
is just so with shamrocks. Only tt.s
counterfeits are on the market.
So common has become the custom
of sending shamr9cks to America tina C.
there is now What is known as the
shamrock ship" This is the last pos
sible mail steamer to get them here
in time for st. Patrick's day, the send
ers delaying to the last moment IN
order to have the, plants fresh. Mosc
of the shamrOcks are sent in letters
and are moistened so as to keep. When

mark they know it is a shamrock let
ter. This wetting OF the plants often
plays havoc with the letters, render
ing the superscription illegible in many
to come to pieces in a few instances
1t is also probable that the little plants
are sent in newspapers and other pack
ages. The postal authorities are no!
very strict at such times and do not
inspect the Irish mail so vigorously
When the shamrock ship" comes in
the postoffice people are too busy to be-
unduly curious.
Tradition has it that ST. Peter &C .
tually brought the shamrock to Ire
land. AS the old song has it:
There's dear little plant that grows
in our isle
Twas St Patrick himself, sure, whit
set it.
And tho sun on his labor with pleas.
ure did smile,
And the tear from his eye oftimes
wet it.
1t grows ttroug, the bog, through the
brake, through the mire land.
And they call it the dear little sham
rock of ireland"
The fact of the matter seems to BE-
that st. Patrick used the three leaved
shamrock as an illustration of the DOC
trine OF the Trinity three in one.
AS to just what plant the saint EN-
maintain that it was the wood sorre].
The curator Of the Dublin botanical
gardens says ii was the E!ack none-
such. The general view, however, is
that the word shamrock is Erse. from
seamsoge, meaning little clover. and
means that the Trifolium repens Or
Trifolium minus is the real shamrock.
1t is questionable. however, whether
white clover is native Of Ireland.
The use of the word seamsoge by the
oldest writer's would seem to uphold

weeks.
A friend is erecting a large manu-
featuring building. Part Of the work
is concrete. The specifications fixed
the ratio to be used in the mixture as
1-3-5-one part cement, three sand an
five of broken stone. He made an
unexpected visit to the place n day
and found that the proportion of
sand and stone was being trebled and
succeeded in stopping it only after a
vigorous protest. This was only one
of a number of similar steals by
which the contractor was endeavor-
ing to swell his profits on the job.
Yesterday, in a conversation with
another man who is building an at
tractiye suburban home, he said: e
