.alt U "St Patrick' Day In th Morning.
The shamrock and the bare, emblems of
old Ireland, will b everywhere In evidence
upoa eoat-lapela, and fruit vendors will
look wall to tbetr orange. No true Hl
beroiaa will patronize the yellow street
cars today.
The day will be observed In many of the
churche. where high nana win be cele
brated, and pa o err r lea pronounced upon the
sterling virtue of the patron saint. To-
lght there will be appropriate service at
Crelghton University ball. Contrary to the
custom In most cities there will be no
parade, though It Is not became there era
Bot enough Irishmen In Omaha to make a
showing.
There Is a notion In most people's mind
that Bt. Patrick was originally an Irish
peasant boy, who suddenly carte Into promi
nence and earned his iltle by killing off
deadly reptiles with a wave of bis hand.
But tola, history says. Is not true. Lovers
f romance will probably consider It a
misfortune to turn upon this beautiful le
gend the cold light of fact, but the truth
ts, fit. Patrick wee a Frenchman! At least
ha was such by birth, having been born
In a province of Franco, or Gaul, a It was
then called. That was way back In 172. Ha
was captured by the Scots, who then ruled
Ireland, and. In the year of 432. was taken
to the Emerald Isle, where for several
years be served bis masters In the capacity
f alave.
Wtil St. Patrick Met.
Ireland at that time wss peopled by a
Here and nrey race of sun and Idol wor- ,
snipers, whose priests were the Druids.
They bad a code of morals of their own,
and treated women with the greatest con
sideration. They were barbarians, for the
Romans, who for nearly 400 years had been
the conquerors of Britain, hsd to acknowl
edge that they could do nothing with the
people of Ireland.
8t. Patrick landed In Meath. His first
convert was Benlgnus, a boy, at the house
of whose parents the saint stopped. The
next convert waa Prince DlcHu, who, hear
ing of the landing of St. Patrick, came
down te the coast to drive him and his
religion Into the set.- But Diebu's swordarm
became rigid as marble when he attacked
fit. Patrick, and the prince, finding he was
dealing with someone above the human,
accepted Christianity and was baptised.
This waa St. Patrick's first great triumph
over the hordes of idolatry. It aroused
Jealousy and envy. Thenceforth his life
wss sought by men in high places, and he
ran the gamut of a thousand dangers, but
came forth scathless. He continued his
evangelical work amid the greatest hard
ships. As to St, Patrick's famous coup, by which
- he is supposed to have rid the Island ot
snakes, history Is silent, and It la sup-
posed that th reference to reptiles In the

BOREAS PLAYS WITH MILLER
Thea Colonel Mela Makes !d By
Tenia Ccaaty Clerk What

A robust squall of wind with sand la its
teeth went bowling down the Farnam street
hill Sunday forenoon, seeking whom It
might embarrass. It set the signs creak
iDg, raised the dust In clouds and caused
two or three women to turn sldewlse and
brace thtnelves; then psssed on to
Hsrry C. Miller, county clerk, who was
standing in front of th Merchants hotel.
Mr. Miller, though a good politician,
didn't recognise Old Boreas as one of his
constituent. This offended the grlzsled
god.
"I'll teach you better manners," be
said, and whisked his derby bst off, and
sent It careening into the gutter.'
Mr. Miller stooped to pick It up, but the
god was In a merry mood, and when the
clerk's fingers were about to close upon It
the het turned over and rolled about a
foot. Mr. Miller tried It again. The bat
lifted Itself on its rlra and plroutted a
few fancy steps. Mr. Miller pretended not
to know that a crowd of men bad come out
of the hotel office and were watching the
contest with solrn15c Int-resL Ha tried
again, this time getting on the lee aids
of It. The hat wslted until he had taken
his position, thea executed a retrograde
movement,' and doubled on Its course.
A crowd came out ot th Henshaw hotel
to look on. Several neighboring barber
shop yielded their quota of spectators.
Mr. Miller Invoked the blight ot Egypt
upon the luckless lid.
He stalked It agaia from the lee side.
Approaching on tiptoe, he poised himself
an Instant, carefully measuring the die
ts nee, then pounced downward with the full
Impetus of his avoirdupois.
At this point It is necessary to the pur
poses of this narrative to leave Mr. Miller
struggling with the bat to take up another
phase of hla career. It will be remembered
that recently he bad trouble with Walter
Molse, the democratic dictator, and the
irouoie ien tneir relations umntit
strained. Mr. Miller said Mr. Molse
"did
him dirt." He saya be is even vet trvlna
to dictate the patronage of his office. "The
next thing I know." Mr. Miller is credited
with saying, "he'll be telling ma what to
wear."
Matters were in this state when the ruf
fian gust came down the Farnam street hill.
Now to retura to Mr. Miller and his head
gear. When he swooped down that time the hat
was not there to break the fore of his
fall. A gust had whisked it away at the
crucial moment, and it went hurtling down
the street, skimming laterally, bowling end
over end, and skating along the pavement
like a thing of life. The crowd gave a
whoop of Joy. A newsboy tried to catch
It, but it sidestepped him adroitly and
Impinged against a plate glass window, from
which It csromed back upon th cobble
stones.
. Mr. Miller put his hands in his pockets
and walked down In Its direction, trying to
look unconcerned.
"Mister, your lid's blowed off." shouted a
newsboy.
Mr. Miller put his hand to his hair and
seemed Surprised.
A man and a woman drove slowly by

Amusements.
At the Orpheam.
Sine th Introduction of permanent
vaudeville Into Omaha It has beea a no
ticeable fact that whenever the program at
the Orpbeum includes the name of some
well known actor or actress formerly
prominent in th legitimate drama, or, in
fact, whenever the bill is headed by an set
featured aa being one of "the highest priced
In vaudeville," the balance of the enter
tainment usually falls fsr short of being
interesting, much less amusing or enter
taining. This wjek's bill embraces none of
these so-called feature acts and In conse
quence Is really worth the time spent In
seeing it. For th most part it Includes
new face and new acts, which ia quite a
relief, for there ar many In vaudeville to
day that have been around the circuit so
often with th same old act that they are
positively tiresome, and a new face ta al
most always welcome regardless of whether
its possessor is good, bad or Indifferent.
Fancy bicycle acts have been Included In
many of this season's bills, yet none of
them are entitled to more praise than that
of th three Merrills, who occupy the head
line position on this week's bill. Stuart
Barnes is one of the most finished mono
loguists In vaudeville and tells stories and
sings songs that are new and original.
Julia Klngsley and Nelson Lewis present a
sketch entitled "Her Uncle s Niece" that
kept Joth Sunday audiences in an uproar
of laughter during Its progress. Miss
Klngsley Is a talented actress, good to look
at and wears hsndsome gowns. Nelson
Lewis is a droll comedian and shares
honors In the sketch with Mies Klngsley.
Mr. and Mrs. Wateraus, operatic duetlsta,
both have good voices and a well chosen
repertoire ot vocal selections. The Fetch
ing brothers offer a novel and decidedly
pleasing musical act. Ths Faust trio In
The Haunted Mill Emmonds, Emmerson
and Emmonds in "Th Tourist" and the
klnedrome make up the balance of the
bill.

WASHINGTON. March 16. (Special.)
Members of the house and senate who have
stied up the legislative eltuatloa predict
that the present session of congress will
come to a close earlier than usual and that
final adjournment will be reached In June.
This prediction Is based upon the assump
tion that an understanding will be arrived
at on the Cuban tariff question and an
agreement for speedy pdoesge ot Imperative
measures in th house. 'Tb Philippine bill
was passed by the senate after a debate of
several weeks and It is likely that the
Cubsn tariff measure, whatever U may be,
will provcrVo a discussion in ths upper
house that may continue for at least a
month, but, allowing for this delay, the
business of the session caa still ba brought
to an end about tha time indicated.
The appropriation bills ar all In a more
advanced stag thaa Is usually tha case at
thla period ot the session and the only other
Important measures to be considered are thi
Isthmian canal hill and th ship subsidy
bill. The former msy not be pressed to a
final consideration, but by general eonaent
go over until th next session, and aa th
subsidy project was discussed thoroughly
In the last two sessions Its consideration
will not develop many eo-called long
speeches to postpone adjournment '
Member of the house are especially anx
ious to. leave Washington early this year
because of the congresslonsl campaign. The
democrats seem to take some encourage
ment over the division In the republican
party on tbe Cuban tariff, and many of th
minority leaders believe they hav beea
furnished with an Issue they can use to ad
vantage in the fall lection. Holding thla
view some of them are in favor of co-operating
with the republicans in any program
that will end tha sssslon early.
Shelved by tha Speaker.
8ome of the bills that were expected1 to
provokj exhaustive debates have been ar
bitrarily shelved by Speaker Henderson.
Among them are th measures admitting
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico to the
union of states. Early In the session tbe
delegates from the territories started an
agitation for statehood that proved popular
on both sides of the house and the state
hood bills were reported favorably. The
republican leaders, however, have decided
they will take no political chances on ter
ritories, whloh may or may not be repub
lican states, and therefor through the
speaker they have checked th atatehood en
thusiasm by quiet intimation that legisla
tion ot that character should hs postponed
until next session.
Former Speaker Thomas B. Reed was In
Washington this week to argue a case be
fore the supreme court. When Mr. Reed
wss speaker he deprecated the freedom
with which former members appeared upoa
the floor during sessions ot the house for
th reason that many ot them were en
gaged la lobbying and took advantage of
th rule giving them access to the floor to
work up sentiment for their schemes. Con
sistent with this attitude he has not been
sssa on the floor sine be Mt the speaker's

Tb manner of some of tbe cspltol habi

"Who's that?" Asked a man at th head

In his speech opposing ths proposition to
elect senators by direct populsr suffrage.
Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, fully main
tained his reputation aa leading authority
on constitutional laws. The senator Is nearly
71 years of age and he has served about
thirty-two years In congress. He Is still
a vigorous man and wben aroused to his
subject speaks with that Ore and eloquence

of his congressional career.
In 'opposing the constitutional amend
ment, changing th plan of electing sens
tors, Mr. Hoar took tbe position that It
presented a proposition revolutionary ta
character and one which, if adopted, would
destroy th principle upon which ths leg
Islatlve powers or th government ar
founded. In this connection ha recalled ths
great struggle la the constitutional con
vention to establish th principle ot equal
represectatloa of all the states In th sen
at and asserted that If tb power to elect
senators were takea from tke legislatures
of tb states and vested In th people dl
rectly, there would result a rearrangement
ot the branches of congress, by which th
senate would cess t exist aad Ita place
be taken by a second house of represen
tative.

In editorial in the October. 1801. issue of
the Medical Brief, a Journal published by
and for physicians and having the larg-.'St
circulation of any strictly professional med
ical publication In the world, says:
"There ara inany patients who have noth
ing organically wrong with them, but are
kept in a weak, anemic state by a lack of
digestive power. If we can Improve dlges-
tlon we increase their enercy productive
output and sense of well-being.
"For this class of cases alcoholic and
strong bitters . often do more harm than
frood, while tbey temporarily stimulate and
mprove the appetite. If long used they
bring on a reaction worse than the first
state. Gastric catarrh Is likely to follow
their prolonged use from constant and arti
ficial congestion of the gastric mucous
membrane."
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are the proper
remedy for this condition. Being in tablet
form they ere not only convenient to carry
and take, but necessarily free from all al
coholic and the objectionable stimulating
drugs do not enter into their composition.

Moody Will Be Missed.
In th retirement from congress of Rep
resentative Moody, ot Massachusetts, whom
President Roosevelt has selected to suc
ceed Mr. Long as secretary of tbe navy,
tb republican eld will lose one of Its
abieat debaters. Mr. Moody la a statesman
of the independent type who follows his
party when he thlnka It la right and who
refuses to follow It when hs thinks It is
wrong. His course haa evidently been In
dorsed by th people of his district as hs
has been returned to congress practically
without opposition and had ha been a can
didate would hava been re-elected to the
next congress. He la the third cabinet
officer that district haa. furnished. The
others were Timothy Pickering, who was
secretary ef slat In Washington's cabinet,
and Caleb Cushlnx
Captain Oardnar, a son-in-law of Sen
ator Lodge, haa been announced as a can
didate for Mr. Moody's seat aad aa he
has tbe support of tbe senator and other
leading republican politician hia chances
are said to be better than those of another
candidate.
With th appointment of Mr. Moody the
president will also fill the position ot cab-
net orator which has been vacant sine
Charles Emory Smith left th postofflcs ds
psrtmeot. Mr. Smith did most of th pub
lie speaking for tb McKlaley administra
tion and usually represented the cabinet
on occasions when It wss called upon to
supply an orator. Ae Secretary Hay rarely
makes a speech and other members ot the
cabinet do not make a praotlv of appear
ing as orators, Mr. Moody will be expected
to take the place ot Mr. Smith and be
ready at any time t take the platform

Roosevelt could hav ehoeen. He la grace

deprive travelers, miners and prospectors
of the right to kill for food It is proposed '
to punish severely persons who kill simply

that the chance for th enforcement of
a game law In a country io ahortly settled
aa Alaska would be Impossible. But the
committee has provided so effective plan1
for reducing tbe desire to kill game, not
needed for food, to the minimum. It la by
absolutely prohibiting the export of car
casses, skins, or hides ot animals and birds
from ths territory. Unless tbe privilege
of shipping horn the results of a hunt Is
afforded the sportsman, he will have no
Incentive to demonstrate his prowess. At
present there Is no gam law for Alaska
and unless congress acts promptly tha
gam birds and animals which abound In
the territory are likely to be sooa ex
terminated.
