CHRONICLES AND LEGENDS OF IRELAND By NEIL MACDONALD THE OULD SOD St.

Patrick in the Annals of Clonmacnois LONMACNOIS owes a moasuie of its fame to the "Annals," written In Gaelic and of very great antiquity. The eailier pottlon of the history is undoubtedly largely rujthical, and even in the more modeni part, fable and fact arc so interlaced that it is exlieimly difficult to attain ceitamtj. It chums to be a narration of events from the dawn of humanity down to 1408, when the record closed. According to the old chroniclers all the he.Uhen kings who reigned In Ireland i the time of St. Patrick nmn- 330.

They trace the origin of the Gaelic people anterior to tho time of Noah and i of hejond the range of lium.m knowledge, with nil the assurance of undoubting certainty. Much is i about St. Patrick in the "Annals" but, heie again, the miraculous and improbable are so commingled with ronlitj that it is hard to determine a is and a is fiction. I tianslate a portion of it bcailng upon the life of St Patrick, -which is doubtless in the main coirect: "In the fourth ear of King Leogair's reign St. Patrick, the apostle of Iro- land, was sent over by commission of Pope Celestine to convert the land from paganism to Christianity, but he did not land heie i after the death of Celestine, in the fiist of Sixtus.

his successor, in the year A. D. 432. Ardmachu was edified and made the metropolitan see of Ireland by St. Patrick.

Some wiiters say that St. James the Apostle came to this a others that Palladius was sent here before St. Patrick, but he had not much success, for he coin cited to the faith but five parishes only, which were in Leinster, and as he was returning to Rome he died In Pictland (Scotland)." In the "Annals" frequent mention is made of St. Kiernn, who was not only the founder of Clonmacnois, but was also the patron saint of the men of Connaught. The "Annals of Ivinisfal" assign the year oOC as the date of St.

Kieran's birth nnd 548 as that of his death. So great was his reputation for sanctity that people in a part of Ii eland, oven now. couple his name i deity when they i to give al force to an asseitlon. i Concerning Freedom of Land From Snakes. HE ficedom ol lieland Horn Miakes and other creatuies was remarked by writers from a very early period.

The popular opinion among the peasantry of Ireland was that the la- Pat Nowlan, do you mind of the stile That straddled the hedge by the whin-grown cairn, And the Connocht hills for many a mile A-wearin' the green of the heather and fern? Do you think of the colleen baugh so sweet, With laughter and mischief a-brim- mm er i Do you hear the pat of her wee bare feet, When she runs to meet with you at the door? Do you see her eyes of deep Irish blue, Her cheeks with her own, rose's pink? Faix she could be coy and be contrary, too, And give to your rival a smile or a wink. Pat Nowlan paused on his mass-ward way, And a rollickin' wrinkle crept into his smile, "Arrah," says he, "how St. Patrick's day Makes an ould divil wish he was young: for a while." --George M. Russell in Houston Post. Innd indebted to St.

Patrick for the exemption. Thte merit is still attributed to the saint, not onlv hy the uneducated, but also by some of those who stand In the relationship of moral and intellectual guides of the people. a monk of Furnoss. a writer of the twelfth century, was the llrbt to give currency to this reputed miracle of St. Patrick.

The old chronicler i "As the season of Lent approached St. Patrick withdrew Into a high mountain on-the western coast of Conuaught. to be more at leisure for contemplation and prayer. Be fasted for 40 days, without taking any sustenance. After his period of fast- ing was completed, place he gatheied together the several tribes of serpents nnd venomous creatures, and drove them headlong into the Western ocean.

From hence hath proceeded the exemption Ireland enjoys from all poi- ftonoiib Solinus, who wrote a few hundred vears before St. Patrick arrived In Ireland, makes mention of tbe fact of Ireland's freedom from all venomous creatures, but assigns no cause for the exemption. The Venerable Bede, In the eighth century, notices the same fact, but says nothing of St. Patrick In this connection. Donat, bishop of Fisulae, near Florence, who lived in the seventh century, wrote a Latin poem describing his native country, Ireland, In which he re- fe'-s to the absence of snakes from the land nnd frogs from the lakes of this favoied isle.

A translation of the poem is subjoined: Far a i lies an Isle of ancient fame By nature blessed, and Scotia is her name, Enrolled in books, exhaustless is her store Of i silver and of jrolden ore. Her i soil forever teems with wealth, With gems her waters, and her air with health, Her verdant fields with milk and honey flow. Her fleeces vie with virgin snow. Her a i furrows float with bearded corn. And a i and arts her envied sons adorn.

No savage bear with lawless fury roves, No enous lion through her peaceful groves. No poison there infects, no scaly snake Creeps through the grass, nor frogs annoy the lake. An island worthy of Its pious race. In war triumphant, and unmatched In peace. This enthusiastic, expatriated Irish saint of the seventh century mentions the exemption above noted, as among tbe many blessings enjoyed by the highl.v favored isle.

Had Donat believed that St. Patrick had been the active agent In securing this boon to Iiel.ind, it is improbable that he would neglect to state the fact. In his 1 St. Patrick lays no claim to miraculous power of any kind unless It be, as the instrument of divine grace In the conversion and transforming of sinners, whereby they became the children of God. It Is not known that there was any other authority for the story of St.

Patnck's banishing the snakes, but Joceline. (Copjright, 1320. Western Newspaper Union) Should Be United in Honor. Sharing St. Patrick's labors nnd bis grave, why has the once loved and honored little Irish nun, Saint Bridget, been comparatively forgotten? She was among the first to accept the a i preached by Patrick, aud wedded fiiith to works by dedicating her life to the cloister, the first woman of her race so to do.

So united in Inspiration nnd fn labor for their fellows were these two In minds of the sons of Erin thai within one sepulcher their mingling dust awulta ibe last trump. I IRELAND'S HOPE The prestige of our Gaelic race. Our poets' and our heroes' fame. Oppression never could erase. Nor dim the llglu of freedom's flatne.

Through centuries of cruel wrong. Though crushed, we never were sub dued, Our of liberty e'er strong. With hope and faith we were Imbued. The grandeur of the bygine years She sheds Its glamour on our path And made us srnlle amidst our tears, Exult despite our foemen's wrath. Disunion, fostered by our foes.

Left us beneath the English sway; United, all our nation's woes Had never traced in blood our way. But now a brighter day has dawned Upon land we love ao well. No more shall Erin's rights be pawned By sectaries with purpose fell. The ancient language of our race Shall be again the nation's tongue, Ind peace and comfort ill erase The mem'ries which our hearts have rival creeds' and factions' fight No longer shall embroil our land, j.nd Ireland's children for her rights In harmony will take their stand. In Tara's ruined silent hall Where Irish monarchs once held state.

Music and gladness will recall The times when we were fa-ned and great. Then when our night of grief and shame Is ended and we re glad and free We'll build a fane to Emmet's name Who died for Irish Liberty. NEIL, MACDONALD (Copyright. 1920 Western Newspaper i IRELAND AND THE SHAMROCK That the Two Are Inseparable Has Been Proved by Plant's Refusal to Grow Elsewhere. The shamrock and Ireland--Ireland and the shamrock--the two are'insep aiable.

writes Katherine Edeliuan When shamrocks letuse to bloom, then surely must Ireland die; then suielj mubt Iribh hearts cease their longings for a glimpse of the green fields of oh! Erin, and then surelj must the land ot poetrj, of sentiment, ot romance, be a thing that is no more. And if the spirit of Ireland should die--then, too, the little preen plant wither ou its stem, and refuse to bloom again. What a wealth of memories and associations is mtertw uied with the precious little green plant! What wonderful tales and legends we been told about It in the good old davs when faines roamed over every Irish hillside and Ireland was an enchanted land. And ho can doubt their truth when we know that the sturdy little plant refuses to bloom any other land outside of Its own green isle? Time after tune it has been taken by loving hands and transplanted to other countries, but alvvajs only to perihh And, sure, why wouldn't it be so, when St. Patrick blessed the little plant and called the emblem of the furcst isle under all God's sky? St.

Patrick's Day and the Fairies. On St. Patnck's morning, every Irish lassie pins a bpray of the little plant upon her bosom and sallies foifji, not to look for fairies any rnoie, foi who cares for fairies when St. Patrick's daj and springtime a hand in hand, when love, romance and adventure may avvait them at every turn of the road? For the heart is young and ga, And the time's St Patrick aay fen i i i i i would only be in the way. CONSECRATED STANDING STONE St.

Patrick overthrew a great number of pagan standing stones with which Ireland was covered. There are still a great number to be seen. This one was consecrated to the new religion by being inscribed by a cross.
