In a recent issue of the Oregonian
was an editorial on Colonists of a type
which Oregon cannot have too many,
people who do not practically prefer
to stay in town. The ones referred
to seem to have had definite plans,
before leaving their Eastern homes
and on arrival showed great anxiety
to settle down and commence work.
This editorial further stated:
"We shall be glad to chronicle the
arrival of such settlers in any section
of the state. They are the kind of
people that Oregon needs and the kind
that need Oregon, since they will
find a wide and varied field for their
endeavor.
"Let a man come to Oregon with his
family having a definite location and
purpose in view and with means
enough to settle himself, even in a
small way, in his chosen vocation,
and he will be from the first a satis
fied and useful ctizen.'
We will add to the above that this is
the clas of people for whom our city
and county are advertising; to whom
we extend our offer of "come and do
likewise," whether he be farmer,
mechanic or laborer. We are not ask
ing for the aimless wanderer who ex
pects something for nothing. We want
workers for a lazy man will never be
satisfied here. Oregon City and
Clackamas County through the Com
mercial Club extend to people of the
first type mentioned all that can be
pictured in advertising matter, but
to the man without plans and ambition
we cannot offer much encouragement.

The following composition is an epitomized metrical translation of an
ancient story of the days of the Irish saint. The story, extant in a Gaelic manu
script of great antiquity, was generally accepted as a true account of an event
which happened in the life of St Patrick.
O00N after the dawn of a summer day,
Ere the rising sun had illumed his way,
St. Patrick went from the hall of the king
To the Crochan's slopes and the Clebach spring.
As his brethren and he, to rest and pray,
By the spring sat down, from a wooded way
There approached two maidens of beauty rare
Fidelon, the winsome, and Ethne, the fair.
THEIR father, Loeguire, reigned in regal state
In Tara's halls, where the saint of late
Had preached and baptized, and his daughters came
To confer with the man of saintly fame;
For, sorely perplexed by what he had said,
For light and guidance they earnestly prayed,
But as sunny beams fell across their-path
With terror they thought of the sun god's wrath.
"D APTIZED by the saint in the holy names,
The Druid's belief still their minds inflames,
And they wanted proof that the Christian's creed
Was true and supplied the soul's ev'ry need.
St. Patrick, benignant, with modest air,
Inquired how it fared with the royal pair,
And they answered that doubts their minds possessed;
That to live was pain while by fears oppressed.
"CHOW us the God you would have us receive,"
The sisters exclaimed, "and we will believe
That the triune God is the God supreme
That your faith is net a fatuous dream."
St. Patrick replied, "With your parting breath
And after you pass the valley of death
You will have your wish, but the face divine
May appear in the eucharist bread and wine."
"TITE want to believe and the One divine
Would see though we cross the dividing line
'Twixt the life that is and the life to be,
Where from earth and its doubts our souls are free."
And the sisters, after the eucharist,
Had their prayers granted, had what they wisht,
For they passed away in rapturous dreams .
To the land where the triune Glory gleams.
BE CHEERFUL.
Tribulation is a habit. Be brave
and utter a cheerful word in place
of the complaining one. keeping
silent in an atmosphere of discord
attracts to you peace and serenity
instead cf pain and sorrow. "As
- a man thinketh in his heart, so is
he." No greater truth was ever
uttered. As soon as a person stops
th nking trouble and gees to think
ing joy thea joy will materialize. -

"Riao as a na-ter.-'
What is the derivation of the phrase
"Mad as a hatter?" One explanation
Is that it was originally French, "As
mad as an Oyster" (huitre), thjtt bivalve
being supposed to be extremely unin
tellectual. Another theory is that the
phrase had reference to -Collins, the
English poet, author of the "Ode to
the Passions," He was a hatter at
Chichester, and it has been said that
the lunatics with whom he was con
fined at one time called him "the hat
ter" and that the ' phrase originated
thus.

THE HARP OF ERIN
By THOMAS MOORE.
THE harp that once through
Tara's halls
The soul of music shed
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls
As if that soul were fled.
So sleeps the pride of former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er,
And hearts that once beat high for
praise
Now feel that pulse no more.
TVTO more to chiefs and ladies
A bright
The harp of Tara swells.
The chord alone that breaks at night
Its tale of ruin tells.
Thus Freedom now so seldom
wakes
The only throb she gives
Is when some heart indignant breaks
Td show that still she lives.
FACTS ABOUT SI PATRICK.
The birthplace of St. Patrick has
been a disputed point among the nu
merous biographers of the Irish saint.
The advantage of numbers, .though,
perhaps, not of evidence, has been on
the side of those who claim that he
was born about the year 372 In Ar
morie Gaul (modern Brittany), . near
the site of the city of Boulogne. In
the saint's confessions, t written in
Latin about the middle of the seventh
century by Adins, bishop of Sletty,
and now preserved in the celebrated
"Book of Armagh," are statements
which conflict with the above view.
St. Patrick in his confessions distinct
ly states that after being . freed from
slavery In Ireland he returned to his
parents In Britain. The Romans had
long occupied the region where he
was born, and in his confessions he
gives his birthplace its Roman desig
nation of "Bannaveni Taberniae,"
which may be identified with Klrk
patrick, near Glasgow, or, with great
er probability still, with Pari Patrick,
on the Ayrshire coast, opposite Ire
land and a short sail removed from it
The claim of patrician Roman de
scent, advanced on the saint's behalf,
does not appear to have a more sub
stantial foundation in fact than that
supporting his birth in ancient France.

In Bis confessions he refers to his-father,
a Romanized Briton, in the fol
lowing words: "Patrem habni Calpor
nium diaconum," giving his father his
Roman name, which was probably a
Latinized form of the name originally
bestowed upon him by his. parents.
The baptismal name bestowed upon
St Patrick, "Succath," signifying
brave In battle, is of undoubted Gaelic
origin. The terminal syllable of the
name "cath" means battle even in
modern Gaelic. There is little doubt
that the Irish saint was of the same
Celtic race as were those to whom he
brought the blessings of Christianity.
Some of his biographers claim that he
established the Christian religion in Ire
land without danger to himself and
with no great difficulty. His confes
sions contradict this, for he states that
he was frequently in danger of losing
his life and encountered determined
opposition from the Druids and the ad
herents of the old religion, .

BACK.TO THE
Like alt men who have had a domi
nating influence in the sphere of re
ligious thought, St. Patrick had intense
zeal and enthusiasm.
In his confessions St Patrick lays no
claim to superior learning and appears
throughout as a warm hearted, devot
ed, modest man.
The Englishman.
"The respectable portion of the malt
sex in England may be, divided intc
two classes, according to its method
and manner of complete immersion iu
water," says Arnold Bennett in "A
Great Man." "One class, the more
dashing, dashes into a cold tub every
morning. Another,, the more cleanly,
sedately takes a warm bath every Sat
urday night There can be no doubt
that the former class lends tone and
distinction to the country, but the lat
ter is the nation's backbone."
