THE SHAMROCK SO GREEN.
pv JOHN n'MAHON

1 "HOTSAsDSo of snamrocHs arg sen. in this country from Ireland - for ST Patrick's day. They are | moi sent as a commercial proposition ] hut as messages Of love from those oh .th. old .s,J- 10 their dear ones here. The shamrocks that are sold ID the United States are almost universally American ei9sers. which are larger than fbe irish plant and can be toid att g.aBee by any true son oi Erlh. The real Sss 1nrBeks are not for sale. They are pfIzed too dearly bg theH reciuleufs Co pr0faDe them by barter They symbolize q sentiment. and sen rifnents cannon be beHght-that Is, uh- less they are the imitation kind It IS inst so with shamfocks only the commercials are on the market
 So common bas become the custom Of sending sha mrocks 10 America that there Is now what is known as the shamrock ship" This Is the last pes slble mail steamer 10 get them here in time for St. Patrick's day. the senders delaying to the last moment in order to have the plants fresh. Most of the kamroeks are sent in letters and are n4oistened 30 as to keep Waen the postal authorities handle a fat moist envelope bearing an Irish postmark they know 1t is shamrock letter. This wettiDg of the plants often plays havoc with the letters. rendering the superseription illegible in many cases
 st tf.Fzx. tk Q to pieces in few instances. It is also proba bIe that the little plants are sent in newspapers and other pack ages. The postal authorities are not very strict at such times and do not inspect the Irish mail too vigorously. When the shamrock ship comes in the postoffice people are too busy 10 be nndniy curious.
 Tradition has t that St. Patrick ac- tually brought the shamrock to Ire iand As the old song has il:
 There's dear ltus plant that grows in
 oHr tale
 'rvas st Patrick himself. sure. who set And the sun on his labor Wfth pleasure
 dId smile
 And tse ,ear from hls eye oftttmes wet
 l.
 fl grows through the boz through the
 brake through the nire tand And thev cal | the dear little shamrock
 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 employed there is question. Some maintain that it was the wood serrel. The eura- tor of the Dublin botanical gardens says II was the black nonesuch. The general view. however. is that the word shamrock is Erse. from seamrog. meaning little clover. and that means that the Trffohuln repens or Tri- foliam minus Is the real shamrock. It Is questionable. however. whether white clover Is native of Ireland. The use of the word seamsoge by the oldest writers would seem to uphold the wood sorrel view, as seamsoge means wood sorrei.

Value of Cheerfuiness.

Cheerfulness is one of the most val
liable assets that a girl can possess.
For it will make friends, will hold
them, and. best of all, IL will inspire
the individual with courage during diff
f1cult experiences that she might fail
In did she not buoy herself I'D with
an outward pretense OF happiness
The cheerful girl is a distinct addition
in any group. She need not be witty.
nor constantly talking. if she has &C.
renity and happiness in her disposi-
tion, for she gives II out AS uncon.
sciously as the sun sheds its rays, and
1t Is sufficient. In point of fact. peo.
pie are like plants: they turn to the
light OF happiness and from the shad-
ow of discomfort
To tell the truth, no persons life Ia
entirely free from perplexitIes of
some kind. Everyone has his own
troubles: and to forget them ia a
component part of happiness. Each
Individual has far too many woes to
wish to hear those of others If we
did not have trouble we should not
have happiness: II life were all enc
round Of pleasure. then we should
know nothing Of the real meaning OF
happiness II would be as dull as a
