(Miracle
ofStPalrick
It's given up by every one that Pat
rick of the bells was the most won
derful saint that ever lived for work
ing miracles, and the one 1 am going
to tell you about now was the great
est miracle of them all.
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.

CHILDREN TORTURED.
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."
It is said of home-made troubles

Mrs. Jo. Ie Robbins, of 1121 Clar
St., Decatur, 111., says:"l was weak,
thin and troubled with headaches. My
appetite failed so that I did not rel
ish my food. I was unable to do my
work because my limbs pained mo
so and my feet were hwoUen. I got
numb and dizzy, my tongue seemed at
times to be paralyzed so that I
couldn't speak distinctly. My extrem
j ities, when in this numb state, felt as
if some one was sticking needles into
me all over their surface. Through
my shoulders at times I had such pain
that I couldn't sleep. Many times I
awoke with a smothering sensation.
"When the physician's remedies
failed to benefit me I began to look
for something that would. My sister,
Mrs. McDaniel, of Decatur, recom
mended Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
me and I at once purchased some. I
was greatly encouraged when I saw
how they acted on my nervous condi
tion and continued using them until
cured. lam now able to attend to my
duties and have not consulted a phys

"I also gave them to my daughter
who had always been weak and who
at this time seemed to lack vitality.
Her cheeks were colorless and sha
was thin and spiritless. She had an
! aemia and we feared consumption, be

if it was at all cold or damp she
would take cold and cough. But Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills brought color
back to her cheeks and strength to
her body."
