sr. PATRICK AND THE SHAMROCK

The story of st. Patrick and the
shamrock is familiar to all: how st.
Patrick, trying to tell the pagan Irish
the mystery Of the Trinity. plucked
from the sod at his feet leaf Of the
shamrock and illustrated his remarks
by pointing to 1t. Many curate and
puzzled teacher has gratefully bor-
rowed the idea and handful Of
clover as aids in intoxicating this
most difficult of all ecclesiastical les
sons. 1t Is believed, however, that
the Irish knew about the sacred char
acter of the trefoil long before St.
Patrick visited them.
It is certainly a curious coinci
dence II 1t is nothing more, that the
trefoil in Arabic Is called "shamrakh,'
and was held sacred to Iran as EN-
blematical of the Persian Triads
Pliny. too, who died in A. d. 70, II
bis famous work on natural history
says that serpents are never seel
upon trefoil and that 1t prevail
against the stings of snakes and SCOT
pions. It may be Justly reasoned tina
previous to st. Patrick's arrival tn
irish had ascribed mystical virtues t
the trefoil and that, hearing OF tn
Trinity for the first time, they fal
cied some peculiar fitness in their q
ready sacred plant to shadow fort
the newly revealed and mysterior
doctrine.

would have welcomed the support OF
every man and every interest now sup

Theodore Roosevelt has been identi-
fed with the Republican party for
thirty years. He is leaving it at
time when the party is not only less
corrupt but when it is more responsive
to public opinion than at any other
period during those three decades.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in 1882
when he wanted to go to the Assem-
bly,, although at the election that fall
the people of New York repudiated it
by majority of 100000.
The Republican party was good
enough for Theodore Roosevelt in
1884 when tens of thousands OF hon
