St. Patrick’s reputation as a snake charmer is known all the world over, but what he did to the roosters is a bit of history less disseminated. There i8 | @ small district in the heart of County 8ligo, it seems, which strenuously re- sented the intrusion of the Scotchman. | Succat (St. Patrick) had become ex- ceedingly domineering, and it was de- cided to put a damper on his progress. He sald to his hostess, “Wake me ‘when the cock crows.” When he had gone to bed she whispered this com- mand to the neighbors, and all the ‘populace concealed their roosters tun- «der small creels so they could not lift | their heads high enough to crow. In consequence thereof the saint overslept ‘himself and was furious when he dis- ‘covered the trick that had been played on him. He laid his everlasting curse on the roosters of that district, and they have never crowed since—BEx- o T L e —— BURKE WAS NOT THERE. Had Been Invited to Address Chioago Manufacturers. Chicago, May 11.—Four hundred dis: appointed manufacturers sat at lunch- eon at the Grand Pacific hotel on the failure of Governor John Burke of North Dakota to appear with his ad- dress.

Two hours after the meeting bac adjourned Governor Burke strolled into the hotel and asked for a room. “Why, the manufacturers have been looking for you in every place,” sald the clerk. “You were to make a speech, were you not$%” “Yes,” replied the governor, “in the evening and I have a nice speech all ready in my grip.” ‘When told that the meeting had been held Governor Burke opened his grip, looked at the speech fomdly and then remarked: “When does the next train leave for ‘Washington?” An examination of the correspond- ence inviting the governor to make a speech revealed the fact that all of the letters used the word luncheon without naming the time of day.
