and
the

of

with

grief
when

iof

from

have
igreeted
March

with
gaity,
parades.,
clambakes
and
a
merry
"best

.swished
.down
with
.potable
.potheen.
And
many
the
black
thOrn
shillelagh
has
been
aimed
at
the
noggins
of
cynics
who
dare
impugn
that
St.
Patrick
was
a
creature
of
Celtic
myth
and
fancy.
True,
the
Welsh,
French.and
Scots.all
claim
him
as
a
native
son.
The
canny
Scots'
are
loudest
in
their
claims.
They
say
he
wasrborn
at
Kilpatrick,
near
Dumbarton,
and
was
named
Patricius
Mago-nus
Sucatus
fCalpurnius
.which
any
gossoon
can
see
bespeaks
Roman
.ancestry.
Then
there
are
.those
who,
rby
your
leave,
prattle
that
as
a
Welsh
boy
of
16,
the
saint
was
captured
by
Irish
.rovers
and
brought
to
Ireland
where
he
learned
the
language.
Xateiy
it
is
claimed,
he
fted
the
land
to
return
about
132
;as
,a
missionary'
representative
of
iPqpe
Ge'lestine.
That
he
was
a
wondrousman
with
words
is
told
in
ancient
-Eire
'lore.
While
preaching,
to
Druid
pagans
at
Tara.
chroriieles
relate,
he
immortalized
the
shamrock
when
he
held
one
up
to
dramatize
the
dogma
of
the
Trinity
and
show
the
feasibility
of
three
in
one
and
one
in
three.
Of
course,
more
critical
.researchers
suggest
.that
the
shamrock
.was
linked
.with
ithe
saint's
ability
to
banish
isnakes
and
toads
from
out
of
the
emerald
acres.
'Historian
;P,liny
thought
the
tre-foil-ra
kin-neighbor,
of
ihe
Urish
emblem
had
protective
.powers'
against
the
sting
df
snakes
and
scorpions.
Then
there
are
those
who
-.question
.the
.choice
of
March
17
as
St.
Patrick's
death
day.
Well,
it
geems
to
Jiavccome
about
something
like
this:
Sometime
:after
.'his
death
at
Abbey
Saul
in
County
DoDwn,
irishmen
,
split
.on
choice
of
an
anniversary
day.
A
typically
Hibernian
compromise
was
made
by
one
Father
Mulcahey.
After
waiting
.until
the
lads
had'tamped'down
the
rich
brown
twist
in
their
i
clays,
he
assumed
.ajSdlamon's
air
and
ruled
that
he
would
take.
both
debated
.days
March
9.and
8
'
add
them
together.
LFaith,
and
so
March
17
was
chosen.
And,
as
.though
,the
:anti-mvth
folk
hadn't
done
enough
mischief,,
the
.boys
received
,a
.rude
shaking
in
recent
times
when
n't
was
said
that
the
good
saint's
shamrock
'was
named
after
,the
Arabic
"Shamrakh"
held
.sacred
in
Iran
as
an
emblem.
of
the
Persian
Triads.

TRUMAN'S

TRUMAN
has
risen
a
good
deal
in
I
stature;and
prestige
since
some
df
the
iineptides
following
closely
upon
his
accession
to
the
;
Rooseveltian
mantle.
'His

John

a
