sPlNELEss, DOES MANS WORK
Farmer Lost Backbone When Boy; Is
Not Only Robust, but
Contented.

Westchester, Pa.-Minus that most
important of human bones, the verte-
bral column, William Binks, aged
eighteen, is not only robust and con-
tented, but accomplishes the work of
a normal man on the farm Of Miss
Miranda Lee, near Elksview, Pa.
At the age of seven years Binks
sustained an injury to his backbone.
At that time it was not considered
serious, but later tuberculosis devel-
oped at the point of injury, and sur
geons removed practically the entire
backbone. They told Binks' relatives
he would be helpless for Hfe-if he
lived.
By means of a bandage of wide
cloth, measuring over Is yards, which
is wrapped closely about his body
from the thighs to his armpfts, Binks
does all the various tasks which fall
to the lot of farmer Miss Lee, who
has adopted him, declares he is the
best s'hired man" she has ever en-
ployed.

WATERy BLIsTERs ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the child's face
were at first small watery blisters, just
a small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead Of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
s'We used a number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got a cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint.
ment. washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.

~ nee more the round of the sea-

Patrick's day. AS the ancient
Celts, Is centuries ago waited in
strange unrest, not unmixed with a
hope of deliverance from the mental
and moral 0ubjection imposed upon
them by the horrible and degrading
practices. of Druidism, for the coming
of the conqueror which had been fore
told by their magicians, SO the Irish
people of the present day are stand
Ing expectantly on the threshold of
great change, hardening impatiently
to the tumult which delays the adj
vent of their nationhoOd and clogs the
wheels of their recent wonderful prog
ress. The return Of her native parlia-
ment, by sitting the political unrest
of century and satisfying the uncon-
Guerable aspirations of her people,
will set the seal upon the marvellous
social regeneration which has trans
formed Ireland, in less than 20 years,
from a condition of hopeless apathy
to a state of prosperity and conscious
power. A revivifying influence has
passed over the land. intellectual I'M
rest, social improvement and an as
tonishing material progress have been
the result. The Naomi of the ma
lions has dried her tears and serenely
confronts the future of happy augury
which is opening to her gaze. Not
with forgetfulness Of the past, but in
obedience to her destiny, Dark Rosa
leen has relinquished 'sthe rising of
the moon" for "the dawning of the
day." May her coming glory strength
en- her soul and tighten her heart as
the gift of Patrick purified and trans
formed the ancient Milesian land.
At the coming of st. Patrick, the
Celts were a highly cultivated people,
then, as afterward, noted for their de-
yotion TO knowledge and their appre-
citation of learned men. Scholars,
poets and historians were held in
generation. Much progress had been
made in decorative art, in the fash
Joining OF gold and silver ornaments,
and In music. The whole nation was
of an inquiring turn of mind and it is
interesting to note that Patrick's first
converts were among the learned men.
Patrick shone particularly as an
organizer. He journeyed necessarily
throughout the land, founding
churches ana monasteries, baptizing
converts and consecrating bishops and
priests, accompanied always by his
scribes and architects, his goldsmiths
and carpenters. He adapted his meth

During this period of four or five
centuries, from the death of Patrick
until the Danish invasions, the mon
asteries were unmolested. Learning
was cultivated and brought to the
highest state of perfection. Law and
philosophy, architecture and sculpture,
music and science fourished and were
encouraged. Irish teachers were in
demand throughout Europe. At the
court Of Charlemagne they were de-
scribed as "men incomparably skilled
in human learning"

Faith and FatherIand.

In considering the history Of Pat
rick, we cannot exclude consideration
of the country because to christianize
for faith and fatherland are inextrfca-
bly, intertwined In the Emerald isle.
And this the more strongly, because
of the persecution of both. There is
rift in the clouds, however, and we
already behold the first glimmer of
the promised dawn. Home rule seems
matter of parliamentary procedure.
when the work Of the brave men
whom we have known for their fidelity
and exacting labor, shall, after thirty
years of strenuous effort, realize the
ambition Of their lives, In an Ireland
redeemed, rehabilitated and olsen
thralled. For this good work, the
Redmonds, billions and their confreres
deserve well Of their country and
will be the exemplars of future ages.
So, let us rejoice that Ireland borne
down by centuries of oppression, shall
at last bask in the sunlight of peace;
that her fair daughters shall attune
the harp to notes of Joy, and her
faithful sons forever guard with jeal-
GUS care the brighter hopes, the loft
lest ambitions and untarnished fame
OF the Isle OF destiny"

enthusiastic and undaunre0 m pursuit
of the only good.
Besides cleansing the Augean stable
of Irish Druidism from its many
dreadful and disgusting habits and
roofing out the revolving rites of pa
ganism, Patrick brought into the
country some knowledge of Roman
civilization and, all over the island,
established schools and trained teach
ers in arts and letters. He revised
the Brehon laws of the kingdom,
bringing them into harmony with
Christian teaching. A copy of this
famous code, which was known as
s'the law of Patrick" and as the
"Seanchus Nor" is to be seen in the
Dublin museum. But it was as an in.
spring leader, as the apostle and
prophet of a whole people, as the
Moses of a nation, that ST. Patrick left
his mark on Ireland for all time.
If his influence is so persistilg and
inspiring among the far-fung Irish
race of today, what must have been
its effect on his immediate successors
those ardent, devoted disciples who
had warmed their hearts and magma
lions at the blaze of his genius, who
caught from his dying grasp the torch
OF erudition and religion which, passed
from hand to hand, was to gain
for Ireland the well-merited title of
"the Island of Saints and Scholars ?"
In troubled and darkened world,
plunged in intellectual gloom and dis

Greek and Roman civilizations, Ire
