THE REAL ST. PATRICK
(By William E. Barton.)
ST PATRICK is believed to have been born about the year
" 389. We are more nearly certain of the jrear than the
day or the place.. .. ', , ' -
' He mav have been a Scotchman ; some declare he was born
in France ;'but there is some reason to think that he was born in
England. . " , , . , . -
lt is said that he was born on the Right of the eighth ol
March, but whether before or after mid-night, no one could tell,
as it was before the age of clocks ' .
- When his birthday came to be celebrated, one clan cele
brated the eighth and another the ninth, and each endeavored
to convince the otheriof bejng in error. ?
A good and wise man suggested that "One man could not
have two birthdays,'" and proposed that the eight and the nine
should be added together. By this compromise all differences
" were settled; the seventeenth day of March hence is celebrated
as St Patrick's day. . ' " . . ...
Wherever he was born his name is forever associated witn
Ireland. Not that the Emerald Isle was the onlly place where
he lived and worked. In the English Lake Region the name
' 1'atterdaye preserves the tradition if not the memory of his la
bor in the north of England, not far from the Irish sea. "
When he was 16, he was carried away by a band of marau
ders. For six years he was held in bondage in- Ireland.
At 22 he fled from Ireland. He landed after three days on
the west coast of France, and spent some years in a monastery
on the Mediterranean. " . .7.".,
Then he returned to Britain ; where he conceived the idea of
returning as a missionary to Ireland-.' .
In a dream he saw a man nam?d Victorious bearing many
epistles, one of which was for him, and contained "The Voice of
the Irish." He heard in his ear3 their invitation, "We pray thee,
holy vouth, to come and walk again amongst us as before." 1
Although naturally oumaenc, ana in spue ui me .wjiiwai.
of his relatives, Patrick sailed to Gaul, where he was ordained;
and then he returned to Ireland. ., -
He founded many churches, of which that at Armaugn is
most intimately associated with his name. ' ,
St Patrick was a man who combined a deep spiritual nature
with a strong capacity for action. He had a firm purpose, and.
an enthusiasm which carried him over every obstacle. -
He redeemed Ireland from paganism. He introduced the

VALPARAISO. March IS (A. P.).
Juan Fernandez Island. 450 miles we
of Valparaiso, widely re,garder as tho
fciot around which the story Kotiin- j
son Crtiso was written. Is to be trun-
od into a health resort according to:
present plans of tho Chilean govern- j
ment. .
The Island is 13 miles long and four
miles wide. VcBetntioua is abundant.J
Jlany kinds of fruits thrive there an! j
the sea hi the vicinity swarms with a
species tf codfish and quantities of
seals, according to a' recent visitor.
.The actual orginal of Defoe's story
of Crusoe -was said to have been Alex
ander Selkirk, one of a crew of buc
aneers, who quarreled with his skip
lr and was marooned, at -his own re
quest on Juan Fernandez where he
spent four lonely years. TheJ-grotto
vhera Selkirk is "supposed to have liv
ed with hW man Friday still is to be
seen. ' A British warship visited the
island in 1S68 and members of the
crew erected a 'tablet in 'memory or
Selkirk. ' .
ffome years ago tho Chilean govern
ment attempted to colonize the is
land and" gave free passage to emi
grants, 'but the scheme was a failure
and the island now has only 200 inhabitants.

Another factor in the situation is that the annual report of
the Bell cpmpany fails to show the company m bad straits.
This report which has ijeen sent out broadcast shows that after
deducting $65,731,07- for depreciation and the further sum of
$31,724,103 for interest payments the company still made a net;
profit of $51,821,216, which was more than 6eve"n millions
