Astor was told today by George A.

disaster.
when Colonel Astor had assisted
his fearful young wife and her maid
into lifeboat he tried to put In a
boy, but the sailors refused to let
him In, saying that the room then
was only for girl children. Colonel
Astor then picked up woman's hat
from the deck and placed 1t on the
boys head and brought him back
to the boat. He said. Here, little
girl, climb in and the officers of
the ship let the boy through. As

ST. Patrick story.

March II has been, from the earliest
times, celebrated as st. Patrick's day.
When / was a boy in Tipperary they
used to tell a story to account for the
observance OF the saints feast on that
particular day This legend was TO
the effect that there was once dis
pute as to the date of st. Patrick's
death. With an ardor similar to that
which inspires those who In literary
circles today argue for or against the
lunacy OF Hamlet, two great factions
OF Irishmen debated as to whether
| the saint died on the 9th or the 9tn
Of March. Things waxed warm. as
| they are likely to.in disputes. even
among such genial people as the irish.
and there was every possibility OF
either one side or the other Tor both)
getting what is known In Ireland as
| the father and mother Of a batin','
when In stepped between the contend
ing parties some peacemaking genius
some Edwin D. Mead Of that elder
day, who said: stop ye're noise, Let
US add the 9th and to the 9Th and
call It the nth" Whereupon peace
prevailed, and they all lived happily
ever after.--Denis A. Mccarthy, In

In Strangford Tough, County Down,
Ireland, nearly 1900 years ago, a

which Christianity gradually radiated

reached every Irish clan and Ireland
