SAINT PATRICK IN HISTORY AND LEGEND t St. Patrick was born in "North Britain, In what is now Dumbarton, during the second half of the Fourth century. His parents were Christians and of } noble family. His father, a Roman oitir.cn, Calpernius by name, held the rank of decurlon, and was an ordained clergyman ; the mother Conchessa, was 't the sister of St. Martin, bishop of Tours, Although his parents were rich, St. 'Patrick was brought up very simply, living for the most part with his foster parents, on a farm. Early he begun to Work those miracles and wonders for which he Is so famous. In those days the Plcts and Scots made frequent Incursions upon the • British coasts" and on one of these Invasion a band of marauders alighted from ships upon the shore near the farm where Patrick, now, a lad of about sixteen, was playing In company with some of his younger brothers and I The pirates klduaped St. Patrick, car- 1 rylng him off to Ireland, where he was J sold as a slave to Milchn. king of the Dalarndla. and given the task of tending the swine. It was during his years of serfdom that Patrick acquired his knowledge of the Irlah tongue and his love for the country folk. After six years of this servitude bh angel nunc to him In a dream and told him how to escape. Accepting the angel's advice and his escape duly accomplished, Patrick traveled on foot to . the West, and there took ship for Britain. After much wandering he arrived at hlS old home only to find that his parents had died during hie absence. He settled down quite happily with bis brothers and sisters nntil one night the angel appeared to liini saying that Ireland needed him. Patrick never slept without hearing In dreams the voice of the' children of Folchut Wood crying out to him beseechingly. "Return to as. holy youth, come once more and walk among us!" And the angel explained that this was the voice ol ■ the children yet unborn. In Ireland. Froiu tliat moment, Patrick determined that he would carry salvation to them. In order to prepare himself for the carrying out of this mission, be sought advice and counsel of his uncle St Martin, bishop of Tours, who had founded a monastery at Marmoutler. in France. St. Patrick made all the -ind part of the Journey on foot. One night when near the end of the .ourney, be lay down to rest- in the snow under the bare branches of a - blackthorn tree, to sleep. When he awoke In the morning, to his amazement he found the -thorn all out In , white-scented blossom, while the couni try around was still frozen. . To this - i day the traveler may still see St. Patrick's blackthorn tree In blossom in bleak December. Hoe the old legends blend with those respecting Glastonbury, where be Is said to have remained and studied theology. For eight years Patrick remained at Marmoutler, studying and fastlng^Bd on one occasion be was given a piece ol meat— meat was not allowed to those In training— which he hid . in a Jar hoping for an opportunity to eat it Ir stealth. While awaiting this oppor tatty he came face to face with a strange being with eyes both at the

| front and at the back of its head When asked who and what It might I be, the creature answered. "I am a servant of God, and with my eyes In • front I see the apparent actions ol men. but with the eyes at the back ot j my head I saw a certain monk concealing a piece of meat, that he might eat It In secret. . . ." Then the ! apparition vanished. Falling upon his knees, and smiting his breast Saint Patrick begged to be forgiven and promised never !•. eat meat for the rest of his life, which promise. It Is said, he faithfully kept. His angel returned to him the offending piece of meat andcflst It into the water. When he had 'hone this, publicly confessing hlsmillt. qhe quantity of fresh /and shining fishes, which sufficed for\all the brothers After the death ol St., Martin. Patrick spent fourteen years In Auxone. and a few years more In the Isle of Lerlus. where St. Vincent was among his companions. But nil through these years, the voices of the chlldsen of Folchut Wood kept on crying to St. Patrick: "All we Irish beseech thee, holy Patrick, to come and save us from the wrnih to come. O holy youth, come once mure and walk among us !" Finally the angel Appeared again to I Patrick and said : "Go to Ireland, for I thou shnlt he the apostle of its peoI pie." Patrick at lust set out for Rome to seek advice from Its Bishop Peies-

V THE, THRUSH aiBALIYBOWEIi I wonder in the evening, In the dusky" evening hour. If * thrush is singing sweetly In the glen at Bally bower; If hta notes are rapturous, golden Aa on dusk-sweet eyes I knew, When the. fairies crept to listen. As 1 stood alone with you. I'm hoping In the evening. In the cal|n. sweet evening hour, there's sadness In a thrush's song 1 In far-off Ballybowar: "riiat a lingering note of longing Falls upon your listening ear. Stirring vague regrets and yearnings For a voice you cannot hear. Katherlne Edelman In Kansas City Star.

ON GOOD ST. PATRICK'S DAY Worthy Time for Irishmen to Reflect on Proud History of Their Race and Nfction. It is an exceedingly good thing that on tlila one day of the year, at least, people of Irish nativity and race should assemble around the festive board to hear something that shall tqke them away from the miserable, selfish thought of. their business, of ihelr own sven laudable though at the same time petty domestic cares, and remind them of their ancestors, to tell them something of the place of their . | race and nation In the history of the 1 I world, and In the work that the uul1 versnl Father surely has to do for each of the races that He has placed ! upon earth, as He has given work foi each of the Individual children that He I sends Into the world. — Dr. Edward ; McGlynn. \ Length of Skirts Important- \ A superstition that Is seasonal "wltl • :he short skirts of the present day b J told by Yeats In the Celtic Twlllgbl < "A lady I once knew saw a vlllag.
