Long ago, and a very long time ago entirely it was when Finn Mac- Cumhull and the warriors of the Fianna ruled from their king's dun at Almhuin over the pleasant province of Leinster. Three score captains there were of the Fianna and five score champions followed every cap tain when he went to the wars. And the like of these men for heroes the world has never seen before or since. Seven feet tall was Minue, the smallest of them all, and the handle of his spear was just a young ash On the White Horse of Magic tree. I!y that you may know what the others were like. Many's the fine song has been made up about them by the ancient bards of Ireland. On a day at the court of Teamhair in the presence of the four kings and the four queens of Ireland the three caskets of honor were given without lessening to Oisin by Cormac, the high king. The first casket held the five silver lilies of courtesy, which meant kindness to the conquered, hospitality to the stranger, charity for the poor and distressed, gentleness to old men and children, and white hom age to women. The second casket con tained the five bronze nuts of learn ing, which signified: Skill in fighting, sleight in wrestling, swiftness in hunting, caution in chess playing, and sweet cunning in the making of melodious songs. And the third cas ket held three golden apples which Signified courage in danger, faith in friendship, and truth in speaking. And no other man before or since ever got those three caskets at one time with out lessening. So no wonder at all it was that Niahm of the golden hair, who was (he daughter of the king of the Coun try of the Young, fell into conceit with the great fame of Oisin and jour neyed all the way to Ireland for love of him. And no sooner did Oisin set eyes on Niahm of the golden hair than he loved her with every vein of his body, and it's what he said to her: "From this day out I will have neither ease of mind nor peace of heart until your life is the same as my life; and for me there's no other woman in the world but you, 0, wom an of the deep shining eyes!" For answer Niahm bent down from the white horse on which she rode and kissed him on the forehead and on the eyes, and this is what she said: "There is many a king's son who has paid court to me. O Oisin of the comely brows, but it's to you I give my heart, and to no other. And it's to take you back with me to my fa ther's country i have come, bringing the white horse of magic for our journey. Arid if you love me, as you sa.v, you will come up now and sit behind me here." So he did that, and the great white horse turned his face to the western sea and the people of the Fianna saw th<*n no more. And they went their way together on the white horse of magic over the high, tossing sea and under the dark, running waves and in the Country of the Young and were given an hundred thousand welcomes in the palace of the king itself. But one day as Oisin and his young men were coming home from the hunt on the side of the hill before them, and out of the middle of the cloud a sweet sounding harp began playing, and the heart of Oisin stood still, for he knew it to be Suanach, son of Senshenn, who was in it playing, and the song that Suanach sang was the lament for the death of Oscar. And straightway a sudden famish ing for a sight of the wide, green hills of Ireland and a hungry yearning for a sound of the long forgotten voices took the strength from Oisin's limbs, and the enchantment fell' from his eyes. Oisin never looked back, but went as swift, as the wind over the high, tossing sea and under the dark run ning waves till he came to his own fair country of Ireland. Now it chanced at that hour that Patrick of the bells, son of Calphrun, with two of his clerics, was on his way to Atli Cliath to preach the new faith to the people. After Oisin told his wonderful story to the clerics Pat rick took him by the hand and led him the ways to Ath Cliath, where for three days Oisin listened to Patrick of the bells preaching to the princes and to the people. On the fourth day of the preaching, when Patrick was getting ready to baptize the people it's what he said to Oisin: "Come out now with the others, son of Finn, till I baptize you and save you from the torments of hell, for if you are not baptized you can never enter heaven." "But tell me first, Patrick of the white book, where are the Fianna — my son, Oscar of the strokes. Art Garriada, the victorious, Caolite, son of Itonan, and Finn, my father—are they in your heaven?" "No," answered Patrick, "their likes would not be let into heaven, they died unbaptized. They are prisoners in deep hell, suffering the torments of fire." A spot of red anger burned on either cheek of Oisin, and it's what he answered: "Then keep your heaven for your self, O Patrick of the crooked staff, and for the likes of these ill singing clerics; as for myself, I want none of it.l will goto this lieil you speak about to be witli Finn, my father, and my son, Oscar, and the friends of my youth." And Oisin could not understand at all the tears in Patrick's eyes nor the trouble in his voice as the saint an swered him: "The mercy of God is more wonder ful than all his works. Oisin, this night you will be christened with Finn, your father, and with your loved comrades of the Fianna* your high loyalty to them has conquered heaven. Come with me now to the ford." At that he led the old pagan's falter ing steps into the shallow stream and baptized him there. When that was done he bade Olson return to the wa ter's edge and wait for him there. But Patrick remained in the water praying. Three times he raised his arms toward heaven, then bowed his head again and waited. When he did that a heavy, luminous mist settled 011 either bank of the stream. Presently the figure of a giant warrior with shield, and sword, and spears of ancient make, stood at the river's edge outlined against the mist. And Patrick knew by the king's crown that was upon the warrior's forehead that it was no other than the great Finn, son of Cumhull himselt, that was in it. And the warrior came into the stream and bent his knee be fore Patrick, and Patrick baptized him there. Then followed Oscar of the strokes, and Cairrioll of the white skin, and Faolan the liberal, and Conan of the sharp tongue, and Caoilte of the flaming hair, and his seven sons. And as each passed he bent his knee in the flood and Patrick sprinkled the water on his forehead and spoke the words that changed him into a child of God. When the last figure melted away into the haze Patrick knew that his task was ended. But as he turned to regain the bank a resplendent fig ure stepped forth to meet bim. Of all the men Patrick had ever seen in the world, this one was the stateliest Patiric^c^ and comeliest. It's more than seven feet tall he was, and the hair of his proud head fell like burnished gold to his shoulders. Upon his brow was a golden fillet, and a collar of red gold encircled his neck. Patrick knew well that it was Oisin and no other that stood before him. As the saint gazed the apparition raised its right hand high above its head with the open palm toward Patrick. And it's how it stood there smiling a little minute and then disappeared through the cloud the way the others had gone. As it did that the mists lifted, and Patrick went out to where the figure of the old man was lying, and it's how lie lay with his lips to the ground and he cold and dead. Now that was the greatest miracle of St. Patrick bringing back the Fian na of Ireland from the grave the way they would be baptized and saved fo» heaven.

Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema —Boy Tortured by Poison Oak— Both Cured by Cuticura. j" "Last year, after having my little J girl treated by a very prominent phy sician for an obstinate case of ec ; zema, I resorted to the Cuticura Rem edies, and was so well pleased with the almost instantaneous relief afford -1 ed that we discarded the physician's prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Olnt -1 ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with the Cuticura Reme | dies her feet and limbs were covered | with running sores. In about six weeks we had her completely well, i and there has been no recurrence of I the trouble. "In July of this year a little boy ; in our family poisoned his hands and ! arms with poison oak, and in twenty ! four hours his hands and arms were a mass of torturing sores. We used I only the Cuticura Remedies, washing ; his hands and arms with the Cuticura | Soap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and then gave : him the Cuticura Resolvent. In about three weeks his hands and j arms healed up. So we have lots of I cause for feeling grateful for the Cu j ticura Remedies. We find that the j Cuticura Remedies are a valuable | household standby, living as we do ' I twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Liz zie Vincent Thomas, Fairmont, Wal den's Ridge, Tenn., Oct. 13, 1905."
