March 17 th.
Fifteeu hundred and forty-one
year* ago the Rood St. Patrick
was born and Irishmen through
out the civilized world observed
the day i honor of their patron
saint. That St. Patrick was a
real man and that he did many of
the remarkable things attributed
to him is clearly established, bat
little is known of his real Itfe. He
was born about about midnight
between March 17 and 18 87a A
I). Whether it was the 17th or
IMth has been a matter of dispute
but the Homan Catholic church
settled the matter by declaring
March to be St. Patrick's day.
The birth-place of St. PatricK is
also a matter of dispute. T h e
majority of students hold that St
Patrick was born in France. The
most reliable accounts have it
that he was sold into slavery in
Ireland when a boy. He managed
to escape and went to the contin-
ent, where he acquired an educa
tion. He then returned to Ire
land as a missionary. Whether
or not it was St Patrick who
drove all the snakes and frogs
mid liawrds out of Ireland which

The Ladies were then requested
to tell Irish jokes and many
hearty laughs were indulged in
and Mrs. J. L. Jackson was giv
en the Shamrock prize. The re
fresemeuts were delicious and
appropriate At a late hour the
ladies, thirty in number, depart
ed thinking the afternoon pleas
antljr spent. . Mrs. Flinu was

The man who never has the
price tinds life a dismal fraud
the world presents a face of ice
that simply can't be thawed
When to the eating house he
pokes to break his daily fast, the
waiters wait on t'other folks and
leaves him to the last. When he
goes to the grocer's lair, or to
the butcher's den, t h e clerws
wake up to see who's there, and
Ifo to sleep again. There's not
much honor or respect for any
hopeless jay who's never able to
collect enough to pay his way. Of
course it'^ wrong, we shouldn't
judge a man by what he owns;
We shouldn't sneeringly say,
Fudge!"' He has no stack of
bones.-' The man whose pock-
ets are a blank should get the
cordial hand as well as one who
to the bank takes coin to beat
the band. But Tacts are facts—
though they're not nice—and all
ilie sunny smiles are for the man
who has the price, and coin in
forty styles. You may be long
on sterling worth but it you'ie
short on kale, you'll find it lone-
some hereon earth, and protests
won't avail. Your observation
should suffice to teach you tins is
true; then always strive to have
the price, and folks will play with
you.—Walt Mason.
A timid looking little man took
a seat at the corner of a railroad
eating house and ordered ham
and eggs* He looked bewilder-
'ed, sayafhe Railroad Man's Mag-
azine. wlienthe waiter turned his
face toward the kitchen and yell-
ed vociferously: "A mogul with
two headlights!'' A second later
the little .man said. "Beg par-
don, sir,{I'd like to have those
eggs turned over!" "Blanketthe
headlights!" yelled the waiter.
An engineer took a seat at t h e
counter. ''Wheat cakes and coff
ee for mine," he said. "Running
orders?" yelled the waiter brisk-
ly, and turned to coufront the
next one. "A beef-steak well
done!" said the late arrival. "A
hot box, aud have it smoking! '
was the information given to the
cook "Some scrambled eggs,
please," |fl|>ed an old lady with
trepidatiofi. The waiter yelled,
"Wreck 'em on the main line! '
A boomer brakeman noisily set
down his lapip aud mounted one
of the stool*. "Liet's see your
switch list," he commanded.
"Giwine a couple of battleships,
and a pan of murpheys on the
main line ai^jl a string of flats on
the siding," lie ordered. It was
the waiter's iurn to look mysti-
fied. Vpai vtbe cow car off the*

er, and rfwitch me a con pie of life

"Say," interrupted the biscuit
shooter, "I've only been here a
week, and you left me behind at
the first stop." 'Excuse me "
