All of His Own Race.

One enthusiastic writer tells us that
"in New York today an Irishman may
rise in the morning and bathe in the
water from Croton dam, built by Irish
James Coleman; breakfast on Cudahy
bacon, then take the subway, planned
by John Mcdonald, past the College
of the City of New York, built by
Thomas Dwyer, to his Office In a sky
scraper built by John d. Crimmins.
Arrived at his Office, he may cable to
Alaska over a telegraph line laid by
David Lynch, order certain freight
sent by James ]. Hlll's Great North
ern railway, and then may rest and
read William Laffin's New York Sun,
delivered by the American News COM
pany, founded by Patrick Farrelly.
Then, If 1t happens to be springtime,
he may lean from his window and toss
a coin to the hurdy-gurdy man who
plays st. Patrick's Day."

Sudden Death

Before an insurance company will
take risk on your life the examining
physician will test your water and re-
port whether you are good risk.
When your kidneys get sluggish and
clog, you suffer from backache, sick
headache, dizzy spells, or twinges and
pains of lumbago, rheumatism and gout,
or sleep is disturbed two or three times
q night-take heed, before too late
You can readily overcome such con-
ditions and prolong life by taking the
advice of a famous physician, which is :
"Keep the kidneys in good order, avoid
too much meat, salt, alcohol or tea.
Drink plenty of pure water and drive

WHY THE SHAMROCK is WORN
Custom Not Only in Honor Of the Saint,
but in Remembrance Of Days
OF Famine.

Few who put a sprig of shamrock
March realize that these little green
leaves more than once kept the Irish
from death In dire famine times.
In 1896 the poet Spenser declares
that the war had brought the miser-
able inhabitants of Munster to point
where they "fock to plot of water
crosses or shamrocks as TO a feast"
In his "view of Ireland" he describes
this as the depth of ruin to which a
land formerly having abundant corn
and cattle had been plunged.
The troublous times continued and
the shamrock is mentioned as an ar
tiele of food again and again. Fynes
Morrison, in 1898, writes that the herb
is still ''belng snatched out of the
bitches for food"
Withers in Abuses Stript and
Whlpt" (1613) sings:
And for my clothing in a mantle go
And feed on shamrocks as the Irish doe.
Not until later was the shamrock
used as the national emblem of Erin.
Nathaniel COlgan, member of the
Royal Irish academy, says the earliest
record of the wearing o. the green"
is contained in the diary of Thomas
Dinely, who wrote in 1857:
"17th day of March yearly is St.
Patrick, an immovable feast, when the
Irish of all stations and conditions
wear crosses in their hats, some of
pins, some of green ribbon. and the
vulgar superstitiously wear sham
rogues, three-leaved grass, which they
likewise eat (they say to cause a
sweet breath). The common people
and servants also demand their Pat
rick's groat of their masters. which
they go expressly to town, though half
dozen miles off, to spend, where
sometimes II amounts to a piece of
eight or cobb apiece. and very few
of the jealous are found sober at
night"
A later reference to the wearing of
the shamrock appears In the works of
DR.. Caleb Threlkeld botanist Of the
early eighteenth century. He says
"The people wear the plant In their
hats In commemoration of st. Patrick,
believing that st. Patrick used the
three-lobed leaf to explain the Chris
tian Trinity. This belief is generally
said by antiquarians to have arisen
In the fourteenth century, almost q
thousand years after the time of Pa
tritius," who died in A. ID. 493.
In that year, says the Annale of
Ulster, "Patritius, the arch-apostle of
the Scott (Irish) rested on the 10Th
day Of the calends Of April (March
I'D in the one hundred and twentieth
year Of his life, the sixtieth year after
he had come to Ireland to baptize the
Scott"

is little chapel on the mountain top.
But 1t is so small that few can find a
place therein, and most kneel outside.
The sermons preached are In Gaelic,
and the masses continue from day.
break until noon.
st. Patrick is on record as having
visited The Reek in A. d. AL and
spent forty days on its summit, hid
den from the world by the mists hang
ing about the lower portion Of the
mountain. The legend says that he
was assailed by huge black birds
which only took to flight when he
rang his bell against them. The bell
rolled down the mountain, but an an
gel came and restored it to the saint.
All the men of Erin heard this ring
ing of the bell, and 1t Is stated now
that 1t Is often heard again.
Afterward St Patrick was visited by
angels, and from their leader he wrest.
ed the following pledges: That as
many souls should be saved as could
fill the horizon which he looked upon
that on every Thursday seven souls
and on every Saturday twelve souls
should be freed from purgatory; that
whoever recited the last verse of his
hymn constantly should suffer no tor.
ments in the next world, and that or
the last day he should be appointed to
sit in judgment on the sins of Gael.

With the Fingers!
Says Corns Lift Out
Without Any Pain

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn can shortly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
will apply on the corn a few drops of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
At little cost one can get small bot
tie of freezone at any drug store, which
will positively rid ones feet of every
corn or callus without pain or sore
ness or the danger of infection.
This new drug is an ether compound
and dries the moment it is applied and
does not infiame or even irritate the
surrounding skin. Just think You
can lift off your corns and calluses
now without bit Of pain or soreness.
If your druggist hasn't freezone he can
easily get small bottle for you from
his wholesale drug house.-adv.

Knew the Game.

One of Rob's pet rabbits had disap-
peared and having searched in vain for
the bunny, Rob appeared before his
little playmate suggesting that with
the assistance of Harolds bird dog
they might recover the pet. The play
mate, delighted that his dog might be
of service, rushed to his mother for
permission to accompany Rob and the
dog. "But where are you going to
look?" inquired the mother. "Oh,
down the railroad" replied the small
son. ''But why must you follow the
railroad, Harold" "Why, mother,
don't yon know, the dog has to smell
the tracks," he replied In disgust.

UT WAS the foundation of st. Pat
rick's greatness that his renova-
tion Of Ireland was not q revolu-
tion. He left old institutions and
traditions untouched, wherever they
could be purged of taint of super
stition. There were septs and clans,
laws and judges, bards and kings be-
fore him, and they continued after
him. He built his church carefully.
To disarm political opposition he ap-
pealed straight to the heads of the
clans. He aimed at the creation of
native clergy. He tried to give ev-
cry community place of worship. At
his death 365 churches lay along the
routes his journeys had taken 365
bishops were distributed throughout
the land, 5000 priests ministered to
the spiritual wants of the nation. He
attempted to throw into the church
thus suddenly created a strong element
Of stability by systematizing 1t on the
models of the canons and making &C.
clesiastical law effective In every de-
partment.
He did not believe In sanctity un-
associated with education. Under him
religion created great monasteries, and
monasteries created great schools. BY
those schools st. Patrick is factor
in the history of Europe. Even be-
fore he went to Ireland he had seen the
days when Ostrogoths established
themselves in Pannonia and Thrace,
when the Visigoths sacked the Italian
peninsula from end to end and carved
out a Spanish kingdom within the do
mains of great Rome, when the Huns
rode their blazing course up the Dan
ube and the Rhine almost to the
ocean; when the Vandals terrorized
empire in northern Africa, when the
Salian Franks took firm grip of north
ern Gaul. His long life stretches over
a period during which the whirlwind
Of barbaric invasions swept away all
but a remnant of the ancient learn
ings. But now the world went to
school to Ireland, and the Irish brought
their school to the world. Religion,
the ancient classics, law, history, nat
ural science, agriculture, manual
training, the use of implements and
the forge, all came within the scope
of these intense and practical schol-
ars.
Not without reason has the name Of
st. Patrick been held in veneration
through these many generations.
There is nowhere a teacher whose
services for learning exerted so wide
an influence in time so critical for
all culture. There is nowhere states
man whose activity so completely re-
formed the character of any people.
There is nowhere such a national hero
whose fame is sounded across fifteen
centuries and can still stir emotions
of enthusiasm far beyond his nations
shores. There Is nowhere a saint
whose teachings are blended like his
with the destinies of his nation.
