talon at Khartum constituted the
only force of Egyptian troops now
left on the Sudan and that the Brit
ish military there were strong

to have left khartum today in the
wake of the first battalion. which
moved out Of the Sudan yesterday.

Useful Ideas

you're just the chap was look
ing for" exploded the garage owner
to the man who came in for air.
Here is something just got in this
morning and I've been wondering
how many OF them you'll take. Put
one on your car and
GOOD night and good luck!" ex-
claimed the man who came In for air.
Don't show me anything that costs
money. If you have any souvenirs"
Souvenirs? Why, this is the great
est boon to you Bigsicks drivers that
ever came out. You attach it to your"
"TlI attach nothing. have every
thing attached now that it will hold.
A sheriff's attachment is the next
thing I'll be getting"
Cali right, it's your loss. Bojack
took one the minute he saw 1t and
Swink bought one for himself and
three for his brothers-in-law!"
Il thought so. 1t wasn't right for
you to take Swink's money that way.
I call it a dishonest deal. You know
Swink's weakness for buying every
auto attachment that comes out.
You've sold him more junk for that
whiz Of his than to any other nine
teen men thar come into this garage.
And still you're after him.
Remember sir, that Swink has q
wife and child. and man in your
position shouldn't accept his money
under the conditions When he sees
something new that you have to sell
that can be bolted onto a car that
is already overloaded you ought to
take him aside and tell him he
doesn't need The device. Butyou don't!
You let him run home for his pocket
book and he comes back and wants
dozen.
'Tll admit that that conyex-eoncaye

worth the money. When | saw his !

Also, if the folks in the tonneau of my

them instantly"
please let me explain this new i'm
provement for Bigsickses, pleaded the
garage man. Mountain air is much
lighter than any other and tires filed
with it make your car weigh less

"Goshl THAT sounds plausible
enough" said the man who came in
for air. "Give me few quarts of it.
And I must tell Simpo about it." 81.

brought to the bank. But the selfish
ness and cupidity in the men again
showed itself and they vowed they
would not part with this fish at any
cost, adding the information that the
showing of a fish of the size and
beauty of this one would make them
the enyied of the neighborhood.
Whereupon st. Patrick told them
who he was, and told them that they
deserved no pity or mercy. He decreed
that from then on the lovely smiling
river should dry up, as also should the
little lake it had formed and provide
no more fish. The two fishermen were
transformed into tall stones, standing
side by side, with a smaller stone at
their feet, shaped like the fish bag
they had carried And the story goes
that at the words of st. Patrick the
waters dried up, and since that time
no stream flows by the lonely, wealth
er-beaten hill, and no little lake glis-
tens in the summer sunshine.
And If you should be skeptical
enough to doubt the truth of this le-
gend when 1t is told you In some peas
ant home, you win do SO no more after
the man of the house leads you to the
lonely wind-swept waste of land that
is called Moneen, and telling you the
tale anew, shows you the dried-up
river bed and the two tall stones,
standing like sentinels in the gray
dusk, bearing evidence to the fate that
met the men who broke their word to
the saint Of Erin's Isle.
The Monmouth inquirer. [volume] (Freehold, N.J.) 1865-1933, 1924-03-13

Has st. Patrick sufficiently close
historical connection with the Welsh
people to warrant them in joining
with the irish in the celebration of
March IL? This question is often
asked as st. Patrick's day comes
around. The answer would seem to
be- No"
Up to the time when the authentic
history of ireland begins with st. Pat
rick (373?-463?) the Irish and
Welsh had something in common, due
to their origin After that the only
thing in common was their resistance
to the English. They even fought
each other.
st. Patrick "found no Christians in
Ireland and left no heather" But he
appears to have had no share in the
Outstanding of Wales. His literary
remains apparently contain but one
thing connecting him with Wales: his
Epistle to Coroticus, which requests
the release of Irish Christians cap
tured by the Welsh prince.
st. David is the patron saint Of the
Welsh and his day is March /. This
day of celebration was fixed by Pope
Calixtus II when he canonized st. Da-
vid in 1121.
st. David or Devil I'd. 601?) is said
to have been born of royal parentage
at Menevia est. David's) and to have
been educated under Paulinus at
York. He is credited with the foun-
dation Of several monasteries. He was
eonsecrated to the archbishopric Of
Caerleon, which carried with it the
primacy Of Wales. He is also credited
with the final routing Of the Pelagians
at the Synod Of Victory" at Lucus
Vlctoriae The Pelagians were the
followers Of Pelagius Ia British monk
named Morgan, d. 42O?), who opposed
the doctrine Of original sin as set
forth by st. Augustine.
