February is the month Of st. Brigid
''The Mary of the Gael" This great
saint is the patroness of the Church
: in ireland, just as St. Patrick is the
patron saint of that historic land. Her
name and feast day are venerated in
Ireland to degree only second to
those of the Blessed Virgin, the Mother
of God. There is season for this, be-
cause this glorious saint, whose works
were almost contemporaneous with
those of st. Patrick himself per-
formed prodigies in aid of the es-
tablishment of Christianity in Ireland
and it's propagation throughout Europe
fifteen hundred years ago.
February is appropriate for this gen.
tie saint and virgin, being, in the mild
climate of Ireland, regarded as the first
of spring. In one of her prophecies,
preserved in tradition, she is quoted
as saying: Every day after my day
will be fine, and even half of my day
will be so also"
Whilst the fame of St. Brigid at
one time filled all Europe, today un-
fortunately, outside of Ireland, little
comparatively speaking, is known of
her. In Ireland, however, her name
is held in loving reverence, her shrine
is the object of devotional pilgrim
ages, her name is embalmed in song
and story, and her work is aptly de-
scribed by Ireland's greatest poet as:
1.-THE bright light that shone from
Kildare's holy FAME"
Brigid Incorrectly known as Bird
get), was born in the latter part of
the fifth century in the county of
Louth, Ireland. She was Of princely
blood, her father being the chieftain
of Leinster. At an early age she be-
came nun, taking the veil at the
hands of st. Macaille. Shortly after
wards she, with number of other
holy women, erected under an oak
tree at Drum Criadh on the plains of
Magh Life, her subsequently famous
convent of Cill-Dara (the Church of
the Oak), now Kildare. So great was
her sanctity and learning that her
small oratory developed into a Cathe-
dral and became a center of religion
and learning. Through her exertions
two monastic institutions were found
ed under the Jurisdiction of the
Church, one for men, and one for
women, and Cill-Dara was ruled by a

How His Feast Day Was Set Apart fol-
Sending Love Messages-HeaIed
Eyes Of His JaiIer's Gentle and
Blind child-Day for Youths
and Maids.

February IA will be St. Valentines
day, and therefore the following
from the Child Apostle will prove in
teresting to young and old:
who was good St. Valentine and
how did his feast day become day
set apart for the sending of love mes
sages?" is a question that hobs up
yearly about February II. And year.
ly, despite the fact that the day is so
rich in fancy and legend, the same
unsatisfactory answer is made; for
no one has ever been able to explain
just how the little blind god Cupid
came to be mixed up with the celebra-
ton of the feast day of martyred
saint.
st. Valentine was sure enough
saint, who wrote no poems nor love
songs and so far as prying eyes and
ears have been able to find out,
never was victim of the little fell
lows darts.
He was in fact venerable
Bishop of Rome. who weathered the
fierce persecution of the monster
Emperor Claudius and won for himself
the crown Of martyrdom in the year
270 A. D.
Immured, because of his defense of
his faith, in dark and loathsome
dungeon, one person only in all the
world appears to have pitied his mis-
cry and made an effort to comfort his
solitude. This was the gentle blind
daughter of his jailer, who practiced
the faith in secret. She it was, tradi-
ton tells us, who stole daily to the
bars of the prisoners dungeon cell, to
sing the sweet songs of faith and hope
that strengthened his weary heart.
Her self-sacrifice and sweet sym.
pathy did not go unrewarded, for in
Thanksgiving the gentle Bishop healed
her eyes, and the maid, who had been
blind from her birth, saw as others
see.
Such a miracle should have moved
the stony-hearted judges of the good
saint, but it seems to have had the
opposite effect upon them, for short
time afterward he was hailed from his
dungeon. dubbed through the streets

balls. At Minneapolis, Ferris in seven

players. He has defeated such noted
stars as George Sutton, Willie Hoppe,

particular hobby, however, runs to
billiards and he is widely known in
many of the billiard parlors through
out the country. He Is a close friend
of Ferris and takes great pleasure in
relating how Ferris won on a foul.
1t appears that Ferris was fairly
stranded while in a western town and
was looking for q match with some of
the home talent. After a good deal of
dickering he took on the county cham
pion, phenom who travelled on two
cork legs. The side bet was fixed
at $780, points 200. Ferris staked his
watch, the remnants of his wad and
q new meal ticket for his share of the
purse. and the match was started. The
wooden legged man won the pink"
and got away with a billiard on the
first shot. It was in the days OF the
old four ball game and the assembled
crowd merely showed interest when
the western artist ran 10 without miss
ing But when he continued on up to
80 and then 40, the betting waxed
warm. At so Ferris was about to COL
lapse and when his opponent went on
the century mark the invader was
gasping for wind The peg-legged
wonder nonchalantly continued, how
ever. as though his performance was
an everyday feat. Finally he register
ed 100. On his 10th shot Ferris
claimed a foul.
Both the villager and his allies Wig
was appealed to and he also decided
that no foul had been committed. Fer
ris called for a rule book. Hastily
turning over the pages he found the
section he wanted and held it up to the
