Hoist the Red Dragon flag, for this
IS ST. David's Day, when all the sons
and daughters of Wales do honor to
the memory of their patron saint. In
Wales the celebration will be more
general and enthusiastic to-day than
In many years, owing to the revival
OF Welsh natiG:iaI sentiment which
followed the coronation of the young
Prince of Wales, and which has since
increased rather Than diminished The
ancient Welsh tongue-in which, by
the way, st. David becomes st. Devil
is now included in the curriculum of
most OF the elementary schools of
wales. The day is a general holiday
in Wales, and in every city and town
there will be public exercises. School
children wearing daffodi1s will assem-
Die IN halls and school buildings, sing
patriotic songs, and listen to addresses
IN the ancient tongue.
The festival of st. David is not
confined to Wales. In this city and
section the Red Dragon banner will
be Haunted from many homes, and
throughout the United States and
Canada, in Australia and South At
RIGA and the islands of distant seas,
thousands of ex-patriate welshmen
will join in spirit with the festivi-
ties of the father1and.

St David, patron saint of Wales,
was a son of SAINT, Prince of Cardi-
gan and Non, and 1ourished in the
9Th century Tradition has it that
on David's birthday in $40 great
victory was won by Welsh arms over
Saxon invaders. and that ever since
Welshmen have placed David above
all others in the calendar of saints
David commenced his religious career
under St Paulinus, who had been sent
to Britain by Pope ST. CeIestine to
com bat the heresy of Pelagius It IS
alleged that David, when called upon
to address the people and win them
from their hereticaI beliefs, was en-
ab1ed to make himself heard by a
multitude because ''the ground be-
meath his feet rose and became q hill -
Doubters and higher critics may still
see the hill. David was made a bish-
op, but removed his see to a spot in
the desert, where he and his monks
might serve God away from the
noise of the world He died on the
first of March, SCI, and, t'as his ag-
ony closed, Our Lord stood before
him in a vision, and the Saint cried
out Take me up with Thee"

The stormy month of March, which
IS ushered in to-day, brings with it
many important religious festivals
Easter Sunday comes on the twenty
third, the earliest since 1856, when it
fell on the same day of the month. 1t
has not come earlier than that since
1918, when the festival of eggs and
hats was celebrated on the twenty
second 1t will not come again in
March until 1918, when it will be OBJ
served on the last day of the month
Palm Sunday, Good Friday and An
nunciation are also important Chris
tan observances during March. The
Jews have no important festival this
month, as Passover does not come this
year until April 22d.
AS for the weather that may be
expected during March, the least said
about it the better. This month has
long been notorious for its rneteoro-
logical changes, and Scotch poet has
thus adequately described the month
that.'comes in like a lion and goes
out like a 1amb:''
The first, it shall be wind and weet:
The next, it shall be snow and sleet;
The third, it shall be sic a freeze
Sail gar the birds stick to the trees

MY FRIEND.

Who is my friend? Not he who rides
The steed of state in cold disdain;
Who leads the gorgeous pageantry,
ana sees me dragging a t my chain
TTv-1ove6. but draws his naughty rein
The tighter as he passes me.
That lightly by the breezes blown,
In loving kindness lifts its eyes
And makes my sorrow half it's own,
Ard speaks to me in undertone
Of blue and sunlit skies.
Who is my friend from year to year?
The cricket with his music strange,
That browns the tempest in my heart,
-ArsdE lifts my thought to wider range,
Where clustered stars that never
change
Pursue their gentle art.

Maurice Fitzgerald, sixth duke of his
line, was born in County Kildare,
twenty-six years ago to-day. He is
also Earl of Onaly, Earl of Kildare,
Viscount Leinster of Great Britain
and Marquis of Kildare, and this by
no means exhausts the list of titles
held by the youthful Hibernian no

name has been written large in the
pages of Irish history The F'itzGer-

noble of the eleventh century. Maui
rice FitzGerald was a leader in the
expedition which resulted in Eng
lands gaining her first toe-hold on
the ould sod, and received as his re-
ward the title of Baron of Ofaly and
several big estates of the Vanquished
native chiefs. The descendants of
this F'itz Gerald have been highly hon
ored, and many of them have engaged
in revolts against England.
