On a st. Patrick's Day, Thir-
ty-four Years Ago, Frank F.
Perry Became Engine Pilot,
and Still Is.
A SPLENDID RECORD
MADE ON THE G. R. & |.
He Has Driven an Engine
2,OO0,O 600 Miles, Nearly 80
Times Around the World,
and Only Injured Once.

Today, St. Patrick's day, Frank F.
Perry of this city Is celebrating the
34th anniversary Of his service as en-
gineer on the G. r. & l. railroad. In
point of service Mr.. Perry is the sec
ond oldest engineer on the road, John
Nichols of Fort Wayne having his
record beaten by five years. In all
his "a years of service Mr.. Perry has
only been off duty but a few months
because of illness and his unique rec
ord has but few parallels.
Mr.. Perry makes the run between
Richmond and Fort Wayne on a pas
senger. 1t is estimated that in his
81 years experience travelling be-
tween these two cities he has covered
distance equal to approximately g.
100000 miles or equivalent to eighty
times around the world. He has on
ly been in one wreck, a headon col
lision between Adams and Ft. Wayne
in 1900, which was not particularly
serious, however. At that time Mr..
Perry sustained injuries that requir-
ed his confinement for several
| months.
A Trusted Employe.
The veteran engineer is one of the
most trusted employees of the road
and his faithfulness and reliability
have secured for him a warm spot in
the hearts of the. officials, all OF
whom hold him In high esteem. He
entered the employe of the Pennsyl.
vania company at Fort Wayne when
but ten years of age, serving in the
capacity of messenger boy for about
year. He then worked in the shops
at Fort Wayne for ten years, being
promoted in 1875 to fireman and the
year following to engineer.
To Mr. Perry's sound judgment and
quick action many serious catastro
phes have been prevented. With
thrilling interest he recounts numer
GUS narrow and hair-breadth escapes
while driving his iron monster on its
rails of steel, at the rate Of 60 miles
an hour
Mr.. Perry has been a member OF
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi
neers for 25 years. His father, J. 3
Perry, was also railroader, being an
engineer on the Pennsylvania for q
years.

WEARING OF THE GREEN.
(Rv Rev, Frank Richards, Chaplain
Ohio Penitentiary)

Ohio Penitentiary)
St. Patrick's Day has an Irish
sound and an Irish origin, but 1t is
not limited to Ireland.
In every civilized country on the
globe, the valiant and aggressive
sons of Erin have made the Gus
toms of their fatherland respected.
Whether you are Irish yourself
or have married Irish, trade with
the Irish or work with the Irish, or
perhaps have a store and want
Irish votes, you must wear green on
st. Patrick's Day.
When St. Patrick was preaching
he made use of the shamrock, or
three-leaved clover to explain the
doctrine of Trinity, the three Per-
sons in the one Godhead. By this
means he converted Ireland to
Christianity.
So the custom grew of wearing
the shamrock March II in memory
of st. Patrick, and when shamrock
could not be obtained, anything
green would answer. Another ev>
dence of Irish influence is the fact
that the American farmer always
tries to plant his Irish potatoes on
St. Patrick's Day for good crop.
Tradition gives very interesting
account of how March II came to
be accepted at st. Patrick's birth
day. It seems that he was born
near midnight of March and 9.
One party claimed that it was be-
fore midnight, and therefore March
s was the proper day. Another
party claimed it was after midnight
and therefore March 9 was the
proper day. This became a bone
of contention between the tribes
and resulted in much strife and
bloodshed. At last one good Bish-
op prevailed upon them to compro-
mise by adding the Sth and 9th and
making it the 18th, and such it has
remained to this day.
In Ireland for hundreds of years
the day has been observed as a
popular holiday for dancing, drink
ing and fighting. It was the ge~-
eral custom to wear the shamrock
during the day and drown it in the
last glass of liquor at night.
It is popular tradition that
when st. Patrick was dying he re-
quested his weeping friends to fore
go their grief and rather rejoice
with him at his easy death.
st. Patrick's mother was French,
his father was German, and he was
horn in Scotland, but he was the
greatest Irishman of them all.
When a boy of Is he was cap
tured by pirates and taken to Ire
land. In a dream he was COM
manded by God to convert Ireland
and consecrate his entire life to
that purpose.
When about to die he prayed that
the Irish people would never prove
traitor to their God. This prayer
| was answered, but at a terrible
price. They had given up their
own life, land and liberty, but they
have carried liberty to others in ev-
cry country of the earth.
| Let us recall this day that the
Irish were always the friends of
liberty. In them was never the SER
vile nature that made them willing
slaves. The liberty that we have
today in the world is due largely to
Irish spirit, and this spirit was in.
spired by st. Patrick, the Apostle of
Ireland.
Let us study and emulate the
splendid life OF st. Patrick, the
greatest Catholic leader of his time.
