He said'again, be cause he was talking to another Irishman, and everybody knows they're hard of Erin. Besides, if you set out to tell an Irish dia lect joka, you've got to repeat all the language characteristics at least twice. It's an unwritten law upheld by after-dinner speakers. "Begorra," continued Paddy, in his rich, southern dialect mixed with the twang of a down-east Yankee, "hoo wuz thot colleen Oi saw ye outwit last night?" "Beporra." replied Patrick O'Reilly.

Approximately 300 public school children and 150 university stu dents have visited the foily-eighth annual Exhibition of Taintinps at Morrill Hall since it opened March 6, accordinp to exhibit di dectors. Several Omaha classes and Doane College proups have come to Lincoln to see the exhihit and also many clubs from Lincoln and surrounding towns. "One desirinp to see as fine a collection as this would have to po to New York City," stated Ma bel Lanpdon of the fine arts de partment. "This collection was made up uniquely for Lincoln, hav ing the finest contemporary and some of the best of older artists works." Five famous French artists are represented and their works were borrowed from Earle Horter. These pieces are "Portrait" by Moise Kisling; "Cohort" by Giorpi di Chirieo; "Still Life" by Georges Bra que: "Still Life" by Pablo Ti casso; and "Cubistic Fipure" by A- Llnpoln Journal. Prof. L. B.

The Reason Why. Quite a few people know why It is called St. Patrick's day and at the same time quite a few don't. So we shall cross up the daisies, and tell. St. Patrick was a legendary figure who was raised to sainthood for chasing all the snakes out of Ireland. Dr. Pool of the botany depart ment would probably point out that in chasing the snakes out of Ireland St. Patrick should have been prosecuted for upset ting the balance of nature. How ever, the belief that snake chas ing, was a beneficial act lasted long enough to attract the at tention of greeting card manu facturers. This assured the lon gevity of the holiday, because once a greeting card manufac turer sinks his hooks into a holi day or tradition, that holiday or tradition is there to stay. St. Patrick was a fellow with extraordinary powers tu foresight, we are sure of that. He chased Ihc snakes out of Ireland on the 17th day of March, right smack on SU Patrick's day, when he could have chosen 3(il others. That took fore sight plus. The Irishman deserve a day of respect and feting. Look at the monumental contributions that Irish characters have made to lit erature. Pat and Mike rank first, f.-.llowrd closely by Mr. Poolcy and Finnegan of "off again, on again, gone again. Finnegan." Then the field of musical pieces. "The Irish Washerwoman," "Dan ny Eoy," 'Mother Machree" and "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling," all of them being murdered daily And where would we get our tenors ana boy sopranos if it wasn't for the Irish? They're the only ones who have the nerve to get up and sing sentimental songs in one or two octaves higher trmn pieces. Nebraska has nent collection paintings and generally buys sev eral more each year from the ex hibition. By special arrangement of the Art board, university students m" visit the exhibition free, using thfir identification cards as an entrance ticket. An admission charge of 25 cents is charged to others attending. REED 0 ESCRI BE I'x porrn, 'tis the time for the wcarin' of Ihc preen.

Many are the tales of St. Pat rick, the Irish patron saint, who is . honored today all over the world. March 17th is not bis birth day, nor the day upon which he drove the snakes out of Ireland, but the day that he was buried in the year 303 according to the latest findings. Much of the saints actual his tory is eclipsed in folklore and superstition and it is un.-erta.in just what country was the place of his birth. Like Homer's, St. Pat rick's birthplace is claimed by many different countries, England, Scotland, Wales and France. One thing is certain, St. Patrick was not a native of Ireland. As his name implies, St. Pat rick cam irom a patrician family but was kidnapped by pirates at the age of 16 and was sold sorrp where in northern Ireland. After seven years of bondage he escaped and reached the continent where A. W. S. Members Vole Miss Pascoe Board President T 0 M BLUEPRINT he became in succession, deacon. priest and bishi.p.

He turned the fertile fields into bogs, took the fish from the rivers, and cursed the kettles so 1hat water would not boil.
