saint Patrick's Day-March IT"

Saint Patrick's Day-March IT.
"Saint Patrick's Day in the morn
ing," comes this year on Sunday, to-
morrow, and will be remembered by
all Irish descendants by the wearing
of the "green." ST. Patrick is the
patron saint of Ireland, and was born
at Fitzpatrick, Scotland, in 387 and
died at st. Downpatrick, Ireland,
March 18th, 493.
There is an old legend which says
that many claimed this Saint was born
on March 9th, others said on the 9th,
so they put the numbers together and
gave the day of his birth as the 18th.
