Il was by no means certain that he
would tolerate the presence OF

ders Patrick landed I'm this kingdom,
however. but history soon transports
him to another section of Ireland.
Finally, he reached what is now
known as Armagh. where he founded
a church in a stable. This was about
435 A. D., and nine years later he
built a church and monastery upon
the summit OF a hill overlooking q
most delightful country, where he es-
tablished his ecclesiastical headquar-
ters as Primate Of Ireland.
Legend of the Fire.
One of the best known legends Is
founded upon the bitter hostility OF
the Druids to the new religion. The
story represents Patrick as resolving
to celebrate his first Easter In Ireland
on the hills of slane on the banks o.
the River Boyne. on the night Of
Easter Eve he and few Of his fol

Used to Defeats.

Early In the eighteenth century the
Austrian soldier began to meet de-
feat, and 1t came so often that It
finally became a habit. When the
war which was TO decide whether or
not Marie Theresa was to succeed her
father. the Austrian went down to de-
feat at the beginning. but finally rail-
lied and captured Prague and Munich,
but all they accomplished in the end
was the acknowledgment Of the legal
rights OF their Queen to the throne.
They lost a part OF Silesia to Fred
erick the Great OF Prussia.
During the Seven Years War the
Austrians were sounday whipped many
times but finally won a victory
against Frederick of Prussia through
the excellent generalship Of Leopold,
Count Daun, who completely routed
the Prussians. This was in 1857. A
few months later, the hoodoo fell
again and Austria suffered a severe
defeat
In 1898 Austria and Russia Joined
their armies and won two or three
skirmishes against the French. Then
came the mighty Napoleon who, after
his march across the Alps. met anc

at Marengo, regaining all the French

1t is a well known phenomenon Ia
natural history that there are no
snakes, toads or venomous reptiles IN
Ireland. and the fact has always been
accounted for In this way. The mira
Gle was performed IN 450 and the
Irishman accepts 1t with as perfect
faith as he does the creation OF the
world, and each year on the ami
versary, which occurs in July, thou
sands OF pilgrims climb up 20 the Cei-
tic cross and the old ruined chapel
many Of them on their knees, TO pray
to the patron saint of their land.
His Death and Burial.
Even the death OF Patrick. which
occurred in 465, was unlike that
OF any other man, for as the day or
his death drew near as he rested az
the Monastery OF Saul an angel came
to warn him. After he passed away
there was no night for twelve days,
and men told how angels kept watch
over his body and as they travelled
back to heaven diffused sweet odors
as OF wine and honey. According to
history the good man was buried az
Downpatrick after much discussion
among the monks. Finally, It was
decided that the body be placed IN
wagon drawn by two unframed oxen
and that wherever they stopped tho
body should rest The oxen began
their Journey and the rival factions Of
monks retired 70 prayer. The oxen
stopped near the site OF the cathedral
in Downpatricls and there the body
was Inferred. His grave Is visited an
nually by thousands OF persons, many
OF whom carry away earth from the
mound. once a year the cavities
made by these relic hunters are ro-
, filled with earth from the nearest
| field. Tons OF soil have been carried
b away.
& Relies.

Queen begged for the life OF the King,
who bent his knee before the saint In
mock worship of God. Afterward he
sought to slay Patrick, who stood be-
fore him with his eight companions,
one OF them a boy. But as the King
counted them they disappeared and
he saw eight deer and a fawn maxi
ing for the wilds. The King returned
to Tara disheartened and ashamed.
Thus the fires OF Christianity out
shone those OF heathenism.
Legend OF the Poison Drop.
Another legend tells Of Patrick's ap-
pearance on Easter morning at the
Kings palace, where he came to
preach the Word. A druid sorcerer
fwho was present put a drop OF poison
In Patrick's cup but tho saint blessed
the cup and the liquor was frozen ex-
cept the drop OF poison, which re-
NAMED LIQUID and ran out when tho
cup was turned upside down. Then
he blessed the cup again and the
liquor returned 20 It's former state.
Patrick's fame soon spread over
Ireland and many were converted. In
the year 441 he visited Rome 20 re-
ceive practical advice from the Pope.

So he had nine chariots yolked and
