Every woman is a firm believer in
the bibical statement that “it is not
good for man to live alone.”
Some men find it easier to stand ad-

When a baby acts wilful his mother
is pretty apt to say: “Well, he would
not amount to much if he did not
have a will of his own.”
After a man marries a woman he
notices that many of the picturesque
poses he noted when she wept as a
girl are missing now when she cries.

Bust of John Smith for Virginia.
Judge Charles Mayer has tendered
to the state of Virginia a bronze bust
of John Smith, “sometime governor
of Virginia and admiral of New Eng-

Baden Powell of the British army, a
lineal descendant of John Smith.
This seems to be a general opinion:
That a woman is a fool if she lets
her husband know it when her father
gives her money, and that he is a
wretch if he doesn’t tell her every
time he gets his salary raised.

The beginnings of the work had been
noiseless and dateless, due to the play
of accident and the obscure zeal of

never be undone, mainly by the efforts
of one man, a Roman citizen of Brit-

Under instructions from Judge
Thomas F. Nash of the Fourteenth
District Court the jury in the case
of Dallas County against Frank R.
Shanks Wednesday brought in a ver-
dict for the county for the sum of
$20,645.98. This is the cause in
which the county seeks to recover
from the County Clerk the excess
fees arising from the work of the
county officer in the making of the
new deed file index. This was done
by Mr. Shanks under contract with
the former County Commissioners’
Court. There was no controversy
over the facts in the case, both sides
making the, same statements were
pleadings as to them. The questions
were matters of law.
In the charge of the Judge it is
shown that the settlement between
Mr. Shanks and the Commissioners’
Court was for the sum of $45,632.21,
that the reasonable expenses of this
work reached the sum of $20,018.99,
and that the excess fees, the Court
holding that the transaction comes
under the fee bill of the State of
Texas, amounted to $25,613.62.
Three-fourths of this, he rules, the
county should recover, a total of
$19,210.22. With interest at 6 per
cent from Dec. 1, 1904, this sum
reaches the amount of $20,645.98.

Four Are Removed in Oklahoma
for irregularities.
Washington, March 8.—Secretary
Loeb announces that the President
has removed from office Horace
Speed, United States Attorney for
Oklahoma; John Oliphant, register
and John H. Trotter, receiver of
the Mangum Land Office, and T. J.
Chapman because of irregularities.
The case of Speed and those of the
rest of the men removed yesterday
have no connection, however.
The charges against Speed are six
years old. They grew out of a con-
tract which he made with the Com-
missioners of Pawnee County . be-
fore he became United States Attor-
ney to collect claims against cattle-
men aggregating more than $100,-
000 for the grazing of cattle in the
Osage reservation, which at that
time was attached to Pawnee Coun-
ty. Speed compromised the cases
for $30,000, out of which the Com-
missioners paid him $9,000.
The succeeding Board of County
Commissioners disapproved of this
contract and settlement and sued
Speed for recovery of the fee. This
was fought through several courts,

tice Burford of the Oklohoma Su-

Said a traveling man: “I was trav-
eling last week through British Co-
lumbia. While in a small town in the
Kootenays I wandered into the police
court. In the course of the case one
of the witnesses described himself as
a hair-dresser.
“ ‘H’m, a barber,’ remarked the
pompous young solicitor who was con-
ducting the cross-examination. ‘I
don t suppose it’s a very expensive job
to set up in business as a barber?’
“ ‘Not very,’ was the reply. ‘Still,
there are other professions less exact-
ing in that respect.’
“ ‘Indeed,’ ejaculated the solicitor
skeptically. ‘Can you mention one?’
“ ‘Yes,’ was the calm retort. ‘A
hair-dresser—or barber, as you prefer
to call him—requires at least a chair,
a pair of scissors, a comb, a couple of
razors, a lather brush, soap, mug.
water, towels, brains, and a ready
tongue. Given the tongue, all the
other things appear to be unnecessary
to the making of a lawyer?
“The emphasis on the word ‘all’ was
not lost on the solicitor, who closed
his cross-examination.”

Ireland When He Arrived.
The fourth chapter of the volume is
devoted to an exposition of the polit-
ical and social condition of Ireland
when Patrick arrived to organize into
a church the individual Christians or
small and scattered Christian com-
munities which already existed there.
The success of Patrick’s enterprise
depended on the kings of the tribes
and chiefs of the clans. If a chief
accepted the new faith, his clan would
generally follow his example, and thus
on every account the process of estab-
lishing the Christian worship and
priesthood in Ireland must begin from
above, and not from below.
St. Patrick’s Place in History.
Succeeding chapters include Pat-
rick’s labors in Dalaradia, Meath, Con-
naught, his visit to Rome, the founda-
tion of Armagh and ecclesiastical or-
ganization, the denunciation of Corati-
cus, Patrick’s “confession,” death and
burial, A. D. 461;
In describing St. Patrick’s place in
history, Prof. Bury declares that the
nearest likeness to Patrick will per-
haps be found in St. Boniface, the
Saxon Winfrid. He, too, like Patrick
and Columba, had both to order and
further his faith in regions where it
had never penetrated. But, like Pat-
rick and unlike Columba, he was in
touch with the rest of western Chris-
tendom. St. Patrick did not do for
the Scots what Wulfilas did for the
Goths and the Slavonic apostles for
the Slavs; he did not translate the
sacred books of his religion into Irish
or found a national church literature.
What he and his fellow-workers did
was to diffuse a knowledge of Latin
in Ireland.
To the circumstances that he adopt-
ed this line of policy and did not at-
tempt to create a national ecclesiastic-
al language must be ascribed the rise
of the schools of learning which dis-
tinguished Ireland in the sixth and
seventh centuries.
“It is true,” says the author, “that
the Irish church moved on certain
lines which Patrick did not contem-
plate and would not have approved.
The development of the organization
which it was his task to institute was
largely modified in coloring and con-
formation by the genius terrae. But
it would be untrue to say that his
work was undone. The schools of

Two extreme and opposite views
have been held as to the scope and
dimensions of St. Patrick’s work in
Ireland. There is the old view that
he first introduced the Christian
religion and converted the whole
island, and there is the view, pro-
pounded by Prof. Zimmer, that the
sphere of his activity was merely a
small district in Leinster. The second
opinion is refuted by a critical exami-
nation of the sources, and by its own
incapacity to explain the facts, while
the first cannot be sustained because
clear evidence exists that there were
Christian communities in Ireland be-
fore Patrick arrived.
But the fact that foundations had
been laid here and there does not de-
prive St. Patrick of his eminent sig-

learning, for which the Scots became
famous a few generations after his
death, learning which contrasts with
bis own illiterateness, owe their rise
to the contact with Roman ideas and
the acquaintance with Roman litera-
ture which his labors, more than any-
thing else, lifted within the horizon
of Ireland.”
Judged by what he actually com-
passed, St. Patrick, in Prof. Bury’s
opinion, “must be placed along with
the most efficient of those who took
part in spreading the Christian faith
beyond the boundaries of the Roman
empire. He was endowed in abundant
measure with the quality of enthu-
siasm, and stands in quite a different
rank from the apostle of England, in
whom this victorious energy of enthu-
siasm was lacking—Augustine, the
messenger and instrument of Gregory
the Great.
“Patrick was no mere messenger or
instrument. He had a strong person-
ality and the power of initiative; he
depended on himself, or, as he would
have said, on divine guidance. He was
not in constant communication with
Xystus, or Leo, or any superior; he
was thrown upon the resources of his
own judgment. Yet no less than
Augustine, no less than Boniface, he
was the bearer of the Roman idea.
“It was Patrick with his auxiliaries
who bore to their shores- the vessel of
Rome’s influence, along with the sa-
cred mysteries of Rome’s faith. No
wonder that his labors should have
been almost unobserved in the days of
ecumenical stress and struggle, when
the Germans by land and by sea were
engaging the world’s attention, and
the Huns were rearing their vast
though transient empire. But-he was
laboring for the Roman idea no less
than the great Aetius himself, though
in another way and on a smaller
scene. He brought a new land into
the spiritual federation which was so
closely bound up with Rome.”

Government Said to Have Evidence of
Startling Revelations.
New York, March 9.—Evidence
of a definite agreement between the
railroads running out of New York
City on a division of the sugar
freight business and also the pay-
ment of rebatees was given before
the United States Grand Jury here
yesterday.
Representatives of W. R. Hearst,
the complainant in the case, decalr-
ed that the government was in pos-
session of documentary proof of ev-
ery point charged, and that the
United States District Attorney’s of-
fice was confident of exposing the
most startling relations existing be-
tween carrying and producing trusts.
The Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company, Lowell
M. Palmer, of the firm of Havemey-
er & Elder (a dock company) and
others are the defendants in the
principal rebate action, and other
railroads figure in other proceedings.
Nearly every railroad with termi-
nals in New York or in Jersey City
is concerned in the proceedings, and
heads and operating officials are
likely to be among those subpenaed
to appear before the Grand Jury.
"One thing is certain,” said an as-
sistant in the United States District
Attorney’s office, “the prosecution
thinks sufficiently well of the evi-
dence to go ahead with the case.
From the time and attention which
have been put on its preparation I

where much had been written.
Concerning the work of Todd on the
subject, he acknowledged that in
learning and critical acumen it stands
out pre-eminent from the mass of the
historical literature which has gath-
ered round St. Patrick, yet it left him
doubtful about every fact connected
with Patrick’s life.
Sought the Original Sources.
Prof. Bury’s justification of the pres-
ent biography is that it rests upon a
methodical examination of the sources,
and that the conclusions, whether
right or wrong, were reached without
any prepossession. His conclusions
tend to show that the Roman Catholic
conception of St. Patrick’s work is
generally nearer to historical fact
than the views of some anti-papal
prayers, and he describes himself in
a woodland or on mountain side, ris-
ing from his bed before dawn and
going forth to pray in hail or rain or
snow. Thus the years of his bondage
were also the years of his “conver-
sion,” and he looked back upon this
stage in his spiritual development as
the most important and critical in his
life.
The book in which he describes his
escape and strange adventures in his
journey through Gaul and Italy was
written by Patrick when he was an
old man. He rigidly omitted all de-
tails which did not bear upon his spec-
ial purpose in writing it.
That the land of his captivity was
Ireland, this was indeed significant;
but otherwise names of men and
places were of no concern, and might
be allowed to drop away.
Found Refuge in a Cloister.
“Patrick found a refuge in the island
cloister of Honoratus,” says the au-
thor, “where we have reason to think
that he lived for a considerable time.”
Among the men of some note who so-
journed in the monastery in its early
days was Hilary, who afterward be-
came bishop of Arelate; Maximus,
who was second abbot and then bishop
of Reii; Lupus, who subsequently
held the see of Trecasses; Vincentius,
who taught and wrote in the cloister,
and Eucherius, who composed, among
other works, a treatise in praise of
ject attracted the eminent scholar’s
attention not as an important crisis in
the history of Ireland, but, in the first
place, as an appendix of the Roman
empire illustrating the emanations of
its influence beyond its own frontiers,
and, in the second place, as a notable
episode in the series of conversions
which spread over northern Europe
the religion which prevails to-day.
Doubts of the very existence of St.
Patrick had been entertained, and
other views almost amounted to the
thesis that if he did exist he was not
himself but a namesake. It was at
once evident to Prof. Bury that the
material had never been critically sift-
ed, and that it would be necessary to
begin at the beginning, almost as if
nothing had been done, in a field

When valor and mind, together combined;
But wherefore lament o’er the glories de-
parted?
Her star shall shine out with as vivid
array,
For ne’er had she children more brave
and true-hearted,
Than those she now sees on St. Pat-
rick’s day.
Her sceptre, alas passed away to the
stranger.
And treason surrendered what valor
had held;
But true hearts remained amid darkness
and danger,
Which, spite of her tyrants, would not
be quelled.
Oft, oft, through the night flashed gleams
of light,
Which, almost the darkness of bondage
dispelled;
But a star now is near, her heaven to
cheer,
Not like the wild gleams which so fitfully
darted,
But long to shine down with its hallow-
ing ray,
On daughters as fair, and sons as true-
hearted,
As Erin beholds on St. Patrick’s day.

When he was in his 17th year a

their vessels with captives. Patrick
was at his father’s farmstead, and was
one of the victims. Man-servants and
maid-servants were taken, but his par-
ents escaped. He was carried “to the
ultimate places of the earth,” as he
says himself, as if Ireland were
severed by half the globe from Britain.
Of all that befell Patrick during his
■captivity we learn little, yet the little
knowledge we possess is more imme-
diate and authentic than our acquaint-
ance with any other episode of his
life, ■ because it comes from his own
pen. For six years, according to the
common tradition and general belief,
Patrick served a master whose name
was Miliucc. His lands and his home-
stead were in northern Delavadia, and
Patrick herded his droves of pigs on
Mount Miss.
While he ate the bitter bread of
bondage in a foreign land, a profound
spiritual change came over him. He
had never given much thought to his
religion, but now that he was a thrall
amid strangers, “the Lord,” he says,
“opened the sense of my unbelief.”
The ardor of religious emotion, “the
love and fear of God,” so fully con-
