the SHAMROCK so GREEN.
By JOHN M'MAHON

THOUSANDS of shamrocks are sent
to this country from Ireland
for st. Patrck's day. They are
not sent as n commercial proposition,
but as messages of love from those on
1.-THE old sod to their dear ones here.
The shamrocks that are sold in the
United States nre almost universally
American clovers, which are larger
than the Irish plant and can be told
at glance by any true son of Erin.
The real shamrocks are not for sale.
They are priced too dearly by their
recipients to profane them by barter.
They symbolic IL sentiment, and sen
timents cannot be bought-that is, UNI
less they are the imitation kind. 1t is
just so with shamrocks. Only the
countcrfcitS are ON the market.
SO common has become the custom
of sending shamrocks to America that
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 senderS
delaying to the last moment in order
to have the plants fresh. Most OF the
shamrocks are sent in letters and are
moistened so as to keep When the
postal authorities handle Il fat moist
envelope bearing an Irish postmark
they know il is a shamrock letter
This Wctting IF the plants often plays
havoc with the letters. rendering the
supcrscripton illegible 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 postoillce people are too busy to be
unduly curious.
Tradition has It that ST. Patrick ac-
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 his labor with pleasure
did smile,
And the tear from his eye Outlines wet
1t.
It grows through the bog. through the
brake through the mire land
And they call It 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 a question. Some maintain
that 1t was the wood sorrei. The cura-
tor OF the Dublin botanical gardens
says 1t 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 Trifolium repens or Tri-
folium minus is the real shamrock. 1t
is questionable, however, whether
white clover Is a native Of Ireland.
The use of the word seamsoge by the
oldest writer's would seem to uphold
the wood sorrel view. as seamsoge
means wood sorrel.

just rebuke to these men who Wanted
their love and loyalty to Ireland before
the eyes of true Americans.
because | am an American"
breathed Margaret an hour later as
she sat in her own room with Il hud-
die of green satin ribbon IN her lap
and a basket of green favors beside
her.
She heard the tramp Of feet ms the
men went into the dining room, and
she almost felt the little shock of sur
prise with which they greeted the
table arrayed iii n glory of rcd, white
and blue ribbons, tiny American flags
and miniature figures of Uncle Sam
and the Goddess Of Liberty, al salvage
from her recent Washington's birth
day party.
There was buzz of conversation,
and she knew that there was 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 the country big enough for all
men and all nations she will adopt?
What's in a name after allT'
Suddenly Margaret seemed to see
herself in a different light. She sprang
to her feet and rushed to her dresser.
Now, she could never cease to appre-
ciate the love Of the two men whom
she cared for most In the world.
She dug out green satin sash which
she had worn on gala days before she
attended Miss Henny's fashionable
school and been finished beyond recog-
milton Of her old Irish friends.
Joke and song and merry quip were
flying about the round table under the
stars and stripes when Margaret opened
the door aud entered the room.
They rose from the table as she
came forward in her white gown. with

leqend Of St, Patrick.

st. Patrick was holy man
And minstrel. too, of old
And bore on all his wanderings
A harp with strings OF gold.
When Erins 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 make
A banner broad and free.
But ere his task was done he heard
The trumpet's wild refrain
And nailed It 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
Were soon devoured by rust.
But still on Erin's ancient flag
The willows tint is seen.
And still the legendary harp
Adorns its folds Of green.

St. Patrick.

St. Patrick.
ST. Patrick cleaned the aud sod up
The divil had to give In.
He made grand old TTibernia
a bully place TO live in.
So let US pluck n shamrock green
In honor of his sway
And plant the prathies for good luck
Upon ST Patricks day.
