Saint Patrick, man of peace, is
revered after something like Is
hundred years have passed. We
have some facts about him and
much legend. 1t seems that he was
born in what is now known as
Scotland. AS a boy he was captured
by pirates and taken to Ireland,
where he was held as a slave. He
was a shepherd, in charge of the
flocks of the pirates, but after sew
eral years he made his escape and
entered a monastery in southern
France. After twenty years Of
study there he decided to return
to Ireland, the land where he had
been a slave.

mated, shall stay with the Democrats
no matter who their nominee is.
The underhanded methods of the Taft
machine in several Southern States,
especially in Texas and Louisiana, are
enough to make any thinking American
shy away from the so-called "Mr. In
tegrity." The defeat Of a move to have
the hearings on these delegates broad
cast and televised emphasizes the fact
that these Southern delegates were
stolen.
It Is evident that Senator Taft, who
shows an obvious Illustration whenever
the odds are against him, will stop at
nothing to win the nomination this year.
This trait seems to run In his family.
The American people would do well to be
rid OF the Tafts from public Office.
If the delegates to the Republican
Convention are foolish enough to give
the nomination to this man, Taft, well
let them. Taft may win in July, but after
the display Of dishonesty his hackers
have shown, he can never win national
election.

They are so small that they can fly

vet so durable that even the highest
powered fan cannot whisk them away
when they fall dead from the ancient
lure Of the light.
This is one Of the strangest things
we viii ever witness, the way the in

strange yearning is 1t that makes them
indulge in this dance Of death?
It is easy enough to answer it in one

Right after the storm, when it was
almost dark, the birds fairly outdid
themselves in singing.
There was jay screaming, and q
mockingbird singing, and wood thrush
making music.
Somehow the darkness and the lessen-
ing of the heat made them sing louder,
or, at least. so it seemed to listening ears
and minds. p
One wondered If the birds. themselves,
did not enjoy their singing more?
It is impossible to feel that all the
songsters do not realize something Of
what they are doing. when they sing
to themselves and each other.
It is a common human belief. based
upon our own minds and hearts, that
the birds sing to their beloyeds.
Certainly this evening the old mocker
was making the welkin ring.
He not only initiated others, but he
had a whole series Of roundelays Of his
own invention.
1.-THE others stopped when it finally
became dark, but not the mockingbird.
He went right ahead, not finding any
moonlight necessary that evening. Or,
perhaps, he did find little moon, in
visible to mans eyes.
