Lovely GREEN ISLE
Land of Bewitching Beauty Well
Worthy the Love of the
Great Apostle.

N HIS wanderings as a teacher st.
Patrick doubtless visited almost
every part of Ireland 1t was on that
abrupt and picturesque elevation,
Mount Slemish, above the valley Of the
Braid, in County Antrim, that the
heart of the captive boy experienced
its great spiritual change, which, from
events following, may be considered to
have altered the entire history of Ire
land, and even to have transformed
the face Of Christendom.
Similarly ancient Tara, the old
abode of kings, situated about twenty
five miles from Dublin in County
Meath, is closely identified with st.
Patrick's name. There he went first
on his mission of conversion.
st. Patrick must have known init
mately the beautiful lakes of Killar-
ney in County Kerry, for in this neigh
borhood he sojourned seven years. On
an island in the lakes, then known in
the Irish language by the name Tough
Lene (the Lake of Learning), he es-
tablished a church which in the sew
enth century grew into Innisfallen alb
hey.
This part of Ireland he loved espe-
cially. Then, as now, the soft be-
witching beauty of the scenery there
abouts was celebrated far and wide,
as the tenth wonder of Ireland. The
mountains surrounding the waters
were EMPOWERED in yew and evergreen
and oak and purple-leaved arbutus,
whose flowers hung in white rich clus-
tiers. The noise of cascades falling
echoed and re-echoed when they
struck the waters of the lake.
A few miles away from the town of
Killarney, just beyond Kate Kear-

ney's cottage, soon after one enters
Dunlow's gap, there is a place which
in local tradition is the scene of an i'm
portant incident in St. Patrick's life.
For this is said to be the spot where
he commanded the snakes to leave
Ireland.
This distinction is claimed. however,
by many other Irish places. On the
western coast, for instance, there is
mountain called Groagh Patrick,
where he is said to have gathered to-
gether the serpents and to have driven
them into the western ocean by beat
ing a drum. This is but one of the
many legends which still linger in the
minds of faithful Irishmen.

AMERICANS GROW
RICH IN CANADA
Testimony Proves Fa|seness of
Statements as to 0nerous
Taxation and Conscription.

1.-THE attempt to check emigration
from the United States to our prairie
provinces by publishing alarming state
ments about the enormous war taxes
that are being paid here-$5OO on
quarter section yearly-about forcing
young men to enlist for the war;
about the cold, no crops and any OLD
story that by their extravagant bold
ness might influence men and women
from venturing north to Canada, is real
ly in the list of curios to our people.
Knowing the country, we can hardly
take it seriously. Our governments,
however, dominion and provincial, are
taking steps to expose the false state
ments that are being made, and there
by keep the channel open for contlnu-
ing the stream of settlers that has
been flowing to us for the past decade.
We have thought to assist in this
work, and to do so purpose giving
from time to time, actual experiences
of Americans who have come to
Saskatchewan during late years. we

twentieth, because, it is recalled, it
was chanted by St. Patrick and his
companions when they defied King
Leary and his pagan Druids at Tara
