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 envied 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.

Irish St. Patrick Us.
the Welsh st. DdUid

Has st. Patrick a sufficiently close
historical connection with the Welsh
people to warrant them in joining
with the Irish in the celebration of
March II? 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 b~eginsSwith st. Pat
rick (373?-463D 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
Christianizing of Wales. His literary
remains apparently contain but n
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 J.. This
day of celebration was fixed by Pope
Calixtus II when he ~canonized st. Da-
yid in 1121.
st. David or Devil ID. 601O is said
to have peer born of royal parentage
at Menevia (St. David's) and to have
been educated under Paulinus at
York. He is credited with the foun-
dalton of several monasteries. He was
c%onsecrated to the a~rchbishopric OF
Caerleon, which carried with 1t the
primacy Of Wales. He is also credited
with the final routing of the Pelaglans
at the Synod of Victory" at Lucus
Victoriae. The Pelagians were the
followers of Pelagius Ga British monk
named Morgan, d. 420D, who opposed
the doctrine of original sin as set
forth by st. Augustine.

two fishermen" But for many years
the full name has been very seldom
used and the place is known and
called by the name Moneen only. Al
though now perfectly dry there is
ample evidence TO prove that a stream
of water of considerable size once
wound its way along the foot of the
high gravel hill.
Every place that savors of mystery
In Ireland has a legend or story at
tached to it, and 1t goes without say
ing that Moneen has its own. If you
go among the peasants in the neigh
borhood you will hear the story. told
as only an Irish peasant can tell, of
the things that happened long ago:
In the early days of Erin a large
river is supposed to have run through
the valley adjacent to Moneen, and
when it came to. the wild stretch of
land at the foot of the hill it formed
a large pool of water, which was the
favorite haunt of all who loved fish
ing, as it was well stocked with all
kinds of fish that were good to eat.
The story goes that n day two men
were trying their luck at the sport,
After many hours of fruitless striving,
they were about ready to give up,
when, on looking up, they beheld. to
their surprise, several strangers stand
ing beside them. One of them, who

other than st. Patrick, offered to pray
for them, telling them that the reason
for his request was that he and his
companions had been fasting all day
and were weak and faint. To this the
men readily agreed and the hooks
were rebaited and cast into the wafer.
In a few minutes a large and shiny
fish vas lying on the bank. st. Pat
rick stretched forth his hand to get
the fish, whereupon the fisherman
pleaded hard that the very next fish
