Enforce Neutrality

Ell Paso, Tex, March 15.-The strictest
enforcement of neutrality is in effect here.
All Mexican soldiers. federal or insurgent,
armed or unarmed, in uniform or civilian
dress, may be arrested If they step on
United States soil. orders to this effect
were received today by commanders of
United States troops along the Mexican
frontier from General Bliss, commanding
the southern department.
To avoid friction the order was conf
municated today to Col. Juan n. yasquez,
commanding the federal garrison at
Juarez. Rebels and federals alike have
been sharing liberty in the American bor-
der towns, where they made their pur-
chases unrestrained unless armed.

Iligious exercises be required he will
surely be there, should the day be de-
voted to patriotic endeavors nothlng

Should the occasion be one wherein
music and song and laughter prevail,

pleasure of the occasion.
And so is St Patrick's Day observed
and celebrated. And so on this day IN
every Irishmans heart is a feeling, first,
of reverance, then of pride, then OF
| joy For ST. Patrick Christianized the
then heather Ireland. He fostered the
national pride of the people by per-
petuating the glorious traditions of
their race, and he filled their wild
untutored natures with the joy that
only revealed truth can bring.
There is some uncertainty about the
birth place of st. Patrick and some
about the date of his birth, but these
are mere trifles with the undisputed
evidences of the work he performed
while on this earth The story of the
Punishment of the snakes and frogs
from the Emerald Isle is not a circum-
stance to the visible fact that he es-
ltablished the Church of Christ in Ire
land and of the vast influence he
welded in bringing light out of dark
ness" In that land. Song and story
recount the banishment of the reptiles;
as related, but whether lore or legend
fact or fancy, that is a mere incident
| in the life of a great and noble man.
Some of the best authorities place
the birth of st. Patrick in the year
A. D. 3S9 and England, Wales or Gaul
as his birthplace. 1t is said that at
, the age of 16 he was stolen by pirates
and carried to Ireland where he. re-
mained captive for six years. Little
seems to be known of his early train
ing but certain it is that he was
learned in the Christian religion, for on
regaining his freedom he commenced
the Christianization of heather Ireland.
BY virtue of his zeal and eloquence he
soon made his influence felt proved
| himself a-statesman as well as priest
He met and overcome the heathenish
rites practiced by the people by adopt
ing in part the same customs. He
lighted great fires in opposition to the
saerificial fires of the Druid rites and
so lighted in ireland in those far away
days the light of Christianity that has
never ceased to burn.
The great eyangelistic work of st.
Patrick can best be judged from the
fact that during his long and useful
life he built 365 churches with a school
connected with each. He organized at
least one archbishopric; he created
two or more bishops and erected sew
eral colleges. And when bowed by the
weight of years in infirmities, he laid
down his self imposed burden to Saul,
near Downpatrick. He was inferred in
the abbey with the intense sorrow of
the people he had Christianized. Truly
his good work has lived after him.
There is no more beautiful or appeal
ing story told of ST. Patrick than that
of his explanation of the divine trinity.
Plucking a shamrock he held it aloft
Ia.x ~Nf ga r. kI~.4
three leaves upon one stem, symb oliz-
ing the great mystery.
Can it be wondered why the Irish
love the shamrock?

Everybody is an Irishman on the

not at all backward in Joining in other

it was the custom for the Hibernfan
