This remedy also counteracts any
tendency ol la grippe to result in

America, so far as we know, has n
patron 6,'iiut. Colniubns was never can
onized, and George Washington livetl
too late for such honors. But she has
compensation for this lack in the num
ber of saints brought with her settlers.
St. Nicholas, St. David, St. Andrew, St.
George and we know not how many
more have become dominciled, each
bringing his quota of history, legend,
poetry, song and genial association, but
they are incidental thrown in with the
bargain, as it were and oar republic
has no one patron saint.
We would not willingly say a depre
ciatoiy word of those distinguished per
sonages whom we mentioned, but simple.
modest, historic truth compels us to say
that no one of them is more than a "cir
cumstance" on American Boil to him
whose anniversary day, crisp, breezy
and bracing, calls out the long proces
sion, the harp-decorated green flag and
the indestructible shamrock which re
appears in fresh verdure every year.
For something like 1,100 years the 17th
of March has been observed as St. Pat
rick's Day.
And yet it is curious how entirely this
eminent saint has been overlooked in
naming places. You have saints all
through the alphabet, from St. Albans
to St. Vincent, but no St. Patrick. The
Scotch have got in their St. Andrew, in
the cold north, to be sure, as was fit.
The Anthonys, Augustines, Bernards,
Charleses, Christophers, Clairs, Francis
es, Johns, Josephs (run into Joes pro
fanely), Lawrences, Louises, Marys,
Pauls, Peters and all the rest have their
names linked with towns, parishes or
streams, but there is not a notable St.
Patrick's anywhere. This can only be
explained by the modesty of those who
hold him in regard, and it is a wrong
that ought to be redressed.
It is to be lamented that so much of
the poetry, song and drollery of a lively,
mirthful, mercurial and imaginative
people have gathered around this name
that the historical character is lost sight
of, and there stands up to the popular
eye a legendary figure, exorcising the
snakes and displaying the shamrock.
Nothing can be further from the reality
than this picture. A great amount of
real scholarship has been expended on
the investigation of St. Patrick's his
tory, and while differences of opinion
exist as to details, St. Patrick, unlike
St. George, of England, is recognized by
all as a true man with a definite record
and a solid claim to the veneration of
the good.
According to history, Patrick was a
farmer's son, either on the coast of
France or of Scotland, most of the early
i church authorities representing him
being born about 410, in the neighbor
hood of what is now Boulogne. His
original name was Succath, which the
early writers of the Irish Christian
church stated meant "brave in heart,"
and the Latin name Patricius was later
given to him.
At sixteen he was carried captive iuto
Ireland and was in slavery for six years.
While serving as a herder in compara
tive loneliness in woods and wilds the
Christian truth of his early daj-s came
to his mind, tie prayed, meditated, be
lieved; and when liberated returned to
his home what would now be called a
converted, acti vely religious man. He re-
membered with pity the heathen among
whom he lived, and returned to tbem as
a Christian teacher. That is supposed
to have been about the year 4-ii. He
preached the Gospel with singular elo
quence and such extraordinary effect
that he established Christianity to
strongly in Ireland that it could not be
overthrown. He baptized the kings of
Dublin and Munster and the sons of the
king of Connaught. He also established
numerous monasteries.
St. Bernard testifies that St. Patrick
fixed his metropolitan sea at Armagh.
He devoted much attention to the sut
pression of slavery, one of the conse
quences of the piratical expeditions of
the age. He died in Down, Ulster, on
March 17, of either the year 493 or "403.
J Here are his own words rendered into
English from the stiff Latin, tinged with
Celtic, in which his "Confessions" are
written:
"I am greatly a debtor to God, who
has bestowed his grace so largely
upon me, that multitudes should be
born again to God through me, and that
of these, clergy should be everywhere
ordained for a people lately coming to
the faith, whom the Lord took from the
extremities of the earth. The Irish,
who never had the knowledge of
God, and hitherto worshiped only idols
and unclean things, have lately become
the people of the Lord, and are called
the sons of God."
The "Confessions" the shortest, the
genuine work, without later interpola
tions is in the "Book of Armagh," one
of the richest literary treasures of the
Irish libraries. Daniel D. Bidwell in
New York Ledger.
An Awful Thins to Remember.
When a bachelor getting out of bed
on a cold morning decides to keep on his
night robe till the room gets warmer
and then thoughtlessly hurries away to
breakfast, where people smile slyly and
significantly, it does not add to his joy
to remember that he did not make the
change in the apparel he contemplated.

When ti' venerable Steve Uncles
pulled off hi- t-torni dt lier and touched
up with a parlor match a goodly pinch
of old Virginia natural leaf, he was
only a moment sending more than a
cloud winding among his neihhoi h i-i
the Grand I'acMic corridor. Sieve h.. 1
come in from Denver a few hours be
fore and had b en in the city just alxnit
long enough to not care a blank wheth
er he saw an) thing, anybody or any
where. ,
"You can bet that I'll show some cf
these tenderfeet, if they tackle me, that
I'm the biggest glizzly this side of
the ieak," and Steve gyrated and de
scribed a few circles with his feet.
"Nary jump in the road are any of theMi
here umbrella swingin dudes goin tr
6tep np next ter me, fer right sudden
there's goin ter be er row. Now, there
cain't anybody realize any better than 1
kin that Chercawgo is ther city of ther
only World's fair, but let me tell you,
pardner, some of these young ducks what
thinks they'se got an immortal cinch on
the universe is goin ter get into a hull
lot of trouble if they fools with this old
cormorant from away out west.V
Old Steve took an extra puff on his
well seasoned black brier and settled
into a reminiscent mood. He had taken
part in many of the early incidents of
the border days, and when he was in
clined could tell many interesting tales.
"Why, young fellow, 'way back in
1849 I was one of the first of the boys to.
tackle the pony express business. It
didn't take much nerve the way nerve
weighs nowadays, but when you come
to look at it in them days a fellow had
to take all the chances of a lifetime, and
it was a kinder ticklish job to tackle a
horseback ride across the Injun country
alone.
"I would start out from St. Jo, pony
on the gallop from the second I put my
hand on the saddle horn, and ther wan't
no let up on that jump till I landed in
Denver. Right through the redskin
country then, and now when you can
look at 'em livin quiet down in Florid.t
or occasionally kickin over the traceb
up north, they ain't a marker to what
we had to deal with in thet country
them days. It was likely to be a run
nin tight from start ter finish, and 1 am
only sorry thet j er didn't live ter write
erbout thet old time from actual ex
perience." "Tell me something about the pony
express."
"Well, of course it's an old story
about how she was started and run un
til the stages and railroads knocked the
business out. But in the early days of
that gallopin mail arrangement a feller
got all the excitement he wanted every
trip. You know we wasn't suptosed to
lose a second's time along the road, and
many's the time I've ridden a quarter or
half a mile on the dead run with the
saddle cinches undone completely, so's
the minute I got 'longside my change
pony I'd lose no time transferring my
saddle.
"Fer a long time we didn't know
'whether er not we was goin to find any
transfer still runnin fer our benefit, fer
the ponies was good ones and the Injuns
didn't care much fer a man er two when
they was after hosses. Several times I
struck a deserted transfer station, saw
the poor fellers lyin there with the top
of their head gone, but I had to move
on, as 1 had a tired iony and couldn't
lose time getting to the next station to
change."
"Did you ever have any personal en
counters with the Indians, Mr. Rugles?"
"You bet, but don't call me Mr.
Iluglcs; plnin old Steve. Yes, I've heard
the whizz of the arrer and hum of the
ballet, have gone at a dead run with the
bridle reins between my teeth, both
h&nds busy with two six shooters, and
have been plugged three times. That's
tho narrowest escape I ever had," and
the veteran pushed back his gray hair
and exhibited a scar that extended
across the 6ide of the head on a level
with the left temple.
"It was getting along toward night,
and about the time the pony began to
act kinder queer I commenced to realize
that Injuns was somewheres close. Sure
enough, the first thing I knew, a gang of
'em comes gallopin from some timber a
short ways off, yellin and shootin. Pony
and me went fer all we was worth, and
then I remember holdin onto the saddle
horn and all grew suddenly dark. A
heavy jolting woke me up, and I found
that my saddle had saved my scalp.
Wounded and stunned, I had never lost
my horse sense, yer might say, and I
had hung on all the time."
At this junction one of Steve's early
friends came up, everybody went up
and "smiled," and Steve promised to
talk more seme other time. Chicago

-The firm is announced as Medame

is the author of this significant and ex

into general use as the new order of

business partnership of men and women
necessary, and this would apply equally
well to such persons, married or single.
