It was “Succush.” Pope Celestin later gavs him the name “Patricus," by whloi he was canonized and ts still known, Neither was he born in Ireland, no: on March 17. His bithplace is in doubt. It ts thought to have been near Dumbarton, Scotland. He was born jate in the fourth or early in the fiftt century. When he was a lad of sixteen a band of Irish pirates raided England and carried the future saint away among their prisoners te Ireland. ‘There he was sold as slave to a rich man named Miloho.

AINT PATRICK in tradition re- ceives the credit both for driving the snakes out of Ireland and for women’s priv » of proposing in leap year. This combination should cause on Saint Patrick's Day in a leap year a bigger cele- bration than usual. Saint Patrick, according to the best antiquarfan authorities, was not an Irishman, but a Sootolman. His birthplace is set down as Dumtar- ! ton, a few miks from Glasgow. | West the Scots may take the credit of Saint Patrick’s deeds to them- | sefves, tt should be added that he was of Raman descent, his father being! Qalporius, | In the days when he was born, some time in-the fourth century, the! north of Ireland was the home of famous pirates, who would make incur- | fous on the Roman settlements and return with slaves and plunder. ‘When Saint Patrick was a young man these pirates captured him and} ‘sold bim to an Antrim chief, where he was put to work attending cattle. | After years of servitude he escaped on a French ship and went to) Tours, where he was. consecrated as a priest and changed his name to He returned-to Ireland as a missionary and spent fifty years there ‘eonverting people who were previously heathens.
