PLANT LONG HELD SACRED
Glover, of Which the Shamrock Is a
Species, Was Much Thought OF
by the Ancient Greeks.

1t is difficult to say what was the
original shamrock, trefoi1 or Hero Trim
tty. The leaf now recognized as the
national emblem is that of the white
clover, but the name shamrock is
generic and is applied also to the
purple clover, the s%peedwell, the pim-
pernel and to the wood sorrel.
The clover of two or four leaves
was held sacred in the festivals of the
Greeks. The one of four leaves, when
carried about, is supposed to insure
success at play and confer the power
of detecting evil spirits. The lover
may put 1t under his pillow and he will
dream of his beloved, or the maiden
may slip it into her s~weetheart's shoe
without his knowledge and it will in
sure his safe return from any journey.
1t may be employed to prevent the
wearer's being drawn into military
service, is said to be a cure for lunacy;
and is still, among the Irish, regarded
as magical, even sacred. Snakes dis
like it exceedingly and will not remain
where 1t is growing.
Some say the four-leaf shamrock Is
the shamrock of luck, and others that
1t is the five-leaved one that holds the
magic touch. This latter is rare and
priced and is said to grow from a de-
caying body, as the nettle Is said to
spring from buried human remains. The
shamrock of luck must be found with
out searching, without seeking" When
thus discovered it should be cherished
and preserved as an invincible tails

ST. PATRICK PAID HIS WAY
Custom-Never Asked for
Contributions.

Always chary of sending round the
plate" Patrick paid his own way
through the Green Isle, as he emphat-
ically relates in his Confessions"
"But when it happens that I baptized
so many thousand men did l accept
ever a screpall Ga Celtic coin of the
value of about six cents) from them?"
he wrote. "Tell me, and I will return
it to you. Or when the Lord ordained
clergy through my humility and min
istry, did l confer the grace gratu-
itously? If / asked any of them even
the value of my shoe, tell me. and l

WORTHILY RANKS
AMONG SAINTS
Patrick's Useful Life and Good
Works EntitIe Him to Posi-
ton of Eminence.
PLACE OF BIRTH NO MATTER
Certain He Was a True Irishman and
Accomplished Much for the Wei
fare of the Race During His
Sojurn on the Island.

~ NE of the reasons why st,
Patrick is such a favorite the
~ world over is that he was SO
very human. He hadn't much
of a chance when a boy, but he made
the best of what he had. If he had not
he would have been a hogherd all the
days of his life. He was a slave, in
very truth, being bound to a pagan hog
raiser In Britain.
But you can't keep a good man down,
and that's a fact.
If all the legends be true, which can
hardly be possible, Patrick was a IA
vorite among the ladies, ever making
an impression on the good st. Bridget.
Maybe this was before they became
saints-of course it was, for how could
they be saints and be alive at the same
time?
However, there is quite a lot of writ
ings, whether genuine OF not, that go
to show that he was a real human
lover, and that dear Bridget was ex-
ceedingly fond of him, and would have
married him could be have procured
the consent of the church.
His Life and Works.
From all that can be learned o n
corning the life and works of st. Pat
rick, he was a good man, and spent his
life going about doing good for his fell
lows.
AS you know, a good man is more
highly respected, more beloved and ex-
erts a greater influence for good in
the community in which he is known
than even the wealthiest, the most
powerful or most favored. He may not
wear purple and fine linen, mol fare
sumptuously, but he Is making the
world better and is, therefore, truly,
and in the highest sense, a son of God.
There are numerous stories and leg
ends concerning st. Patrick, some of
which may be true. But 1t matters
little whether he was a Milesian born
in Spain, or a son of a poor swine
herd of the green isle.
The history of the world shows that
the mere circumstances of birth cuts
very small figure in the matter of real
greatness. From earliest times the
men who have figured most promi-
nently in world movements for the bet
terment of mankind have been of
humble origin.
In order to rise from the lowly birth
station of Lincoln OIL Of Moses, a man
must have the true spirit of manli.
ness in him. If he survive the severe

In His Day.
We of the present day can hardly
conceive of the conditions existing in
the British islands in his day.
The native Celts were heather and
british, and had no higher ambition
than to exist, unless it was to rob
neighboring tribes of their cattle, hogs
and fair women. Physically they were
strong, vigorous and emotional, and
possessed of good nature, wit and so
cial feeling in a marked degree as com
pared with the inhabitants of other
islands.
Noting this, st. Patrick must have
concluded there was something here to
work on, something good; and seeing
this he took it as his command to as
sist in the development of the social
disposition and good feelings Of these
people.
He therefore became one of them,
lived with them, won their confidence
and commanded their respect. In or
der that he might be an efficient leader
he occasionally went abroad and
studied under the fathers of the church,
for religion is most powerful to con-
troll the feelings and change the aspi-
rations of men.
No matter what he may have been
born, he was a true Irishman.
A Real Man.
There are those who regard st. Pat
rick as a fakir more or less, because
of the miracles he is said to have
wrought.
AS far as known st. Patrick did not
claim to have miraculous power, nor
to have driven the reptiles out of Ire
land.
1t has always been the rule among
ignorant and superstitious people to
credit their religious teachers and
great leaders with having done some
marvellous or miraculous thing. With
out something of the sort other igno-
rant and superstitious people would
not heed them.
There may never have been any rep
tiles on this particular island, it hav-
ing been one of the last to rise up out
of the salty sea.
1t is not the fact that a man is able
to do wonderful things, or to work mir
acles, that makes him great really, but
his ability to see and to comprehend
the great truths concerning life, and to
earnestly desire to spread these among
the people. This it is that commands
the attention of the livelier spirits,
and wins the respect and confidence Of
those who desire better things in this
life.
Such was st. Patrick.
A Splendid Type.

that accomplishes great things, but the
man within the machine. 1t was not

1t is not the mere human creature
that accomplishes great things, but the
man within the machine. 1t vas not
the figure seen by the people that COM
manded their admiration, for he was
not an Apollo, nor was it the familiar
form bearing a shepherds crook that
brought these rough, untutored men to
their knees and inspired them with
worshipful feelings; nor was it the
venerable father that aroused the
spark of crude love in their hearts and
ripened 1t until it became a controlling
influence of their lives.

: BAD BREATH ..
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets Get
at the Cause and Remove It

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi.
tute for calomel, act gently on the bowels
and positively do the work.
People afflicted with bad breath find
quick relief through DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets. The pleasant, sugar
coated tablets are taken for bad breath
by all who know them.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets act gently
but firmly on the bowels and liver,
stimulating them to natural action,
clearing the blood and gently purifying
the entire system. They do that which
dangerous calomel does without any
of the bad after effects.
All the benefits of nasty, sickening,
gripping cathartics are derived from DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets without gripping,
pain or any disagreeable effects.
DR.. F. M. Edwards discovered the
formula after seventeen years of prac-
tice among patients afflicted with
bowel and liver complaint, with the
attendant bad breath. q
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets are purely
a vegetable compound mixed with olive
oil; you will know them by their olive
color. Take one or two every night for
week and note the effect. 10c and Csc
