! SAINT PATRICK.
Far back in the mists of early
history, there lived a robust old
.“{tint who is reverenced by the
Irish people today. He must
have had a most original per-
sonality, as something out of
his commanding and winsome
character has come down thru'
ell t'n «> ages. io influence the
life of these times.
He must have been a states-
man as well as a religious lead-
er, and a man of great power
and influence, as he is said lo
have founded "(>f> churches and
to have put a school beside
each one.
The Irish people, who have
become so important an element
m American life, look back to
Saint Patrick with a peculiar
affection, perhaps because he
typified in so many ways the
Irish temperament. The man
who did so much to stamp out!
heathenism, who faced and ov-j
ercome the perils of those sav-l
ng;' times, must have been one
of undaunted courage and cheer
fulness, and these characteris-
tics have been handed on to his
descendants in America.
Some one lias said that when
an Irishman has a roof over his
head, he sings, and if he doesn’t
have a roof, he sings, too. There
is an imperishable good cheer
in this race that has helped
them to win their way,
Wherever you find the sons
of Saint Patrick in the country,
you find people who have taken
hold of the hardest tasks with
persistent industry, and a kind
of smiling faith which has work
cd wonders. The first pioneers
began on the most laborious
las' s, they helped build our rail
roads and dig our ditches. Now
they have risen to the highest
posts in the nation and in busi-
ness. The same dauntless spir-
it that carried old Saint Patrick
through his achievements and
drove the snakes out of Ireland,
has today driven away tin1 diffi-
cnlties and obstacles that best
the |>eop)e who come to a new
land
»cause of this spirit that is
still present in the land, we cel-
obra e the 17th of March as St.
Pa rick’s Day.

State Press ates, ho to speak.
The Californians would do well
to come to Texas. After the
raucous outcries of their real
estate agents, the modesty of
Texans, the subdued and culti-
vated voices of our realtors,
would be to the newcomers like
glad sweet songs. Undoubted-
ly the Californians in Texas
j would miss their accustom d
mountains, their bizarre bath-
ing beaches and even their bi-
zarre bathing beauties, but we
have all those desirables here,
on modified lines. Our moun-
tains may be less convenient,
our bathing beaches less popu-
lar and our bathing beauties
less numerous. Certainly the
latter are more beautiful than
their California rivals, although
they may seem to bathe less
continuously.—State Press.
ONLY GRIP! NOTHING MORE
; Once upon an evening dreary,
as I rested, somewhat weary,
close beside niv fireside think
mg thoughts I’d often thought
before: suddenly I fell to sneez-
ing. then anon, it passed to
w boozing, and my blood seemed
slowly freezing, as it ne’er had
done before; all of this and
something more. Ah! distinct-
ly I remember how each bone
and separate member seemed to
throb with pains fantastic l had
never felt before. Presently
tin* pains grew stronger and the
chills that shook me, longer,
striving every joint and mar-
row of by being to explore, and
they shook me more and more.
Suddenly there came a turning,
all my blood within me burning,
filled my veins with molten lead,
loudly for help 1 did implore,
•‘lid my head felt near to split-
ting, with stranger fancies thru
if flitting, as if ’twas a train of
demons from some dark pluto-
nian shore, chanting as they
passed before, “ ’Tis the Grip
and nothing more.”—From My
an Daily Eagle, March 7, 181)9.
MANANA ~
This is a Spanish word, pro-
nounced “Manyana,” languidly
and leisurely, and is tin* most
important day in a lazy man’s
life.
Manana means tomorrow.
It is fhc watchword of the
weary, the slogan of the slum-
berer.
Manana serves the sluggard
instead of "pep". It takes the
place of the "get up and git" of
the hustler.
