THE SHAMROCK so GREEN.
By JOHN M'N1AHON

THOUSANDS of shamrocks are sent
to this country from ireland
for st patrIckS day. They are
not sent rs n commercial proposition,
but aS messages of love from those on
"thc old sod" to their dear ones here.
The ShamruckS that are sold in the
United States nr" almost universally
American rIuVCrS. which are larger
than the Irish plant and can be toll
at a glance by any true son of Erin.
The real ShamrockS are not for sale.
They are priced too dearly by their
recipients to profanc them by barter.
They symbolic sentiment. and sen
timcntS cannot hc bought that Is, un
less they are the imitation kind. II Is
Just SO with ShamrOckS. Only the
cOuutcrfcitS are ON the market
SO common has become the custom
of sending ehamrockS to America that
there Is now what IS known as the
"shamrock ship" This Is the last pos.
SiDc mail steamer to get them here in
time for st ratrick'S day, the scndcrS
delaying to the last moment In order
to have the plants fresh. Most OF the
ShamrockS are sent IN letters and are
mOIStcncd so rs to keep. Whcn the
postal authorities handle fat moist
envelope bearing an Irish poStmark
they know II Is Il shamrock letter.
This wcttiuG Of the plants often plays
havoc with the letters, rendering the
supcrScriptUn illcGibc in many cases
or even causing the envelope to come
to pieces In few instances. 1t Is
also probable 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 postotlicc people are too busy to be
unduly curious.
Tradition has 1t that st. Patrick nc
tually brought the shamrock to Ire.
land. AS the old song has it;
There's a dear little plant that grows In
our isle
Twas St Patrick himself. sure. who set
And the sun on hIa labor with pleasure
did smile,
Aud the tear from his eye ofttlmcs wet
IT.
1t grows through the boz. through the
brake. through the mIro land
And they call II the dear little shamrock
of ireland.
The fact Of the matter seems to be
that 81. Patrick used the three lcaVeI
shamrock aS an Illustration Of the doc
trinc of the Trinlty-thrcc In one. As
to Just what plant the saint employed
thrr" Is Il question. Some maintain
that II was the wood SOrrci The Cura-
tor of the Dublin botanical gardens
says II was the black nOmcSuCh. The
general view, however, Is that the
word shamrock Is IirSc, from scamrOg,
meaning little clover, ana that means
that the Irfolimm rcpcns or Tri-
folium minus Is the real shamrock. II
IS questionable, however, whether
white clover Is n native OF Ireland.
The use or the word ScamSOEc by thu
oldest writer's would seem to uphold
the wood Sorrcl view, aA ScamSoge
means wood sorrcl.

and miniature figures OF Uncle Sam

from her recent WaShinGton'S birth
day party.
There was II buzz of conversation,
and she knew that there WAS a hurt
look In her fathers eyes that father
who had worked so hard, who denied
her nothing and who so enjoyed his
annual celebration of st. Patrick'S day.
And there was Larry Grady-oh. hOr-
rible name! OF course he would guess
that she had been the one to change
the decorations. and she could fancy
the Scorn on his handsome face.
Something that Larry had once said
returned to her with startling distinct
ness:
"ISn't tn" country big enough for all
men and all nations she will adopt
What's In 4 name after all?'
Suddenly Margaret seemed to see
herself In different light. She sprang
to her feet and rushed to her dresser

she cared for most In the world.
She dug out n green satin sash which
she had worn on gala days before she

Joke and song and merry Qnip were
flying about the round table under the
stars and stripes when Margaret opened
the door and entered the room.

Legend of St. Patrick

st. Patrick was a holy man
And minstrel, too. OF old
And bore On all his wandcrings
a harp with strings of gold.
When Erin's heroes went to war
with sword and lance and shield
In early times they lacked "A flag
To follow on the field.
So good St Patrick took the leaves
Upon the willow tree
And stitched the emerald strips to MAXI
a banner broad and free,
But ere his task was done hc heard
The trumpct's wild refrain
And nailed 1t to his golden harp
And joined the march again.
The banner OF the willow leaves
Grew dry and fell to dust;
The strings that rang to battle songs
We're soon d"vOurcd by rust.
But @till on Erln's ancient flag
The willows tint is seen.
And stIll the legendary harp
AdOrns IT, folds Of green.

Michael took n swift turn up and

Just because his name Is Grady.

Margaret WINGED, but with head
flung high she left the room. In the
hall she paused at the dining room
door and pushed it open.
The handsome chandelier had been
equipped with delicate green globes,
and from its center wide green satin
ribbons were loOpcd and fastened to
the cloth of the great circular table.
On the board silver and cut glass
shone and sparkled about n magniii-
cent pot of shamrocks, while at every
cover were favors appropriate to the
day.
Margaret eyed the table and It's dec
