In Germany the Wandering jew
is associated with the story of one
John Buttadaens, who is said to have
appeared in Antwerp in the Thir-
teenth, Fifteenth and Seventeenth
centuries. This specter, vision, ghost
or impostor last appeared at Brussels
in 1873.
In the French legend tho Wander
ing Jew is known by the name OF
Isaac Lakedion.
The main character in the legend
of the wild Huntsman" of England,
the one whom Shakespeare mentions
as Herne the Hunter, is said to be q
Jew who refused to let Jesus drink
from horse trough.
Jan. 1, 1914, n person claiming to be
the original Wandering Jew appeared

A young man residing in one of the
suburbs called on a young lady resid-
ing in the city. and having occasion
to consult his watch found to his
CONSERVATION that he had left it at
home. As he did not wish to make a
mistake by remaining too late, he
asked the young lady the time and
was informed that it was just half
past 10. He hastily made his depart
ure, as he had to catch train. On
his way to the depot he congratu-
lated himself that he had certainly
done his share of the entertaining, as
the time had flown quite rapidly.
Imagine his chagrin when, on ar
irving at the depot, he found it was
only 9;45 instead of 10 :45, and that
he would be compelled to wait an
hour before the train left. He swal-
lowed his discontinue as best he
could and is now wondering whether
the clock at the house of his lady
friend was an hour fast or whether
it was a gentle case of shake" AT
any rate he vows he will never again
call ON a young lady unless he is
backed up by his watch. .-Philadel-

r4ooted and Stoned, This fdiotio woman
was Always Independent.
Every middle aged Philadelphian
can remember a wild. picturesque
figure that thirty years ago was az
familiar a sight to the inhabitants of
the Quaker City as the Liberty bell
or the wooden statue of Franklin
over the door of his famous library.
Irish Sheelah, as the town called
her. was a gaunt woman nearly SIX
feet in height whose vacant eyes told
her story before she spoke.
Since she was child the children
with sound brains had hoOted at her
and stoned her, She was a child
still, with white hair and wrinkles.
She knew nothing; she did not even
know that the learning and thought
and pleasure was in the world in
which other people found their life.
Her only enjoyment was in the
tags of bright ribbons stitched to her
old skirt, which the children gave
her from their doll rags. These were
all that she would accept from them
she was never known to take money.
That was the one sound spot in her
moor. crazed brain-a fierce pride OF
independence.
Her old mother became helpless.
Sheelah could not work, but she
would take no aims. She donned a
mans coat and high hat, and set out
Ito earn money like a man" only tC
be followed by larger crowds of chill
dren than before. Charitable friends
attempted to send the two helpless
women to asylums. But Sheelah de
clared that no one but herself should
support her mother. On this point
she was resolute and-sane.
1t occurred to some one to make o.
her a street debt collector. When {
creditor despaired of payment OF
small bill he gave it to her. Sh'

Some comets have short, bushy
tails, bending sharply backward from
the direction of the comets motion.
These tails, it is thought, may be
composed of the molecules of iron.
Probability is lent TO this view by
the fact that meteorites are largely
composed of iron, and there is an un-
doubted connection between meteors
and comets.
A few years ago comet appeared
whose tail presented such a peculiar
curvature that it seemed to be COM
posed of PARTICLES heavier than the
molecules of iron, and it was sug-
gested that in this case gold was the

elevator operators in Chicago have
come to the conclusion that they've
had their feet, and particularly their
toes. tramped upon and in many in
stances broken, just as frequently as
is agreeable. Indeed, the point of
comfort and endurance was passed
some time ago. Lately one of us hit
on the idea of wearing a big wooden
shoe on the foot nearest the door,
which is the one that always gets
stepped on. It works like charm.
No other shoe that's made could pos
sil3y give us the necessary protec-
ton.
People may step on that and fall
over and onto it as often as they
please, and where we used to grind
our teeth in pain we now smile and

A HomeIY Axiom.

do not bite off bigger piece than

that it is safe to heed, and which ex-
presses in language, more forcible
perhaps than elegant, vital truth.
But although we all know the mis-
cry of undertaking too much, of hav-
ing more care upon us than we know
how to manage, why is it that we,
over and over again, place ourselves
in this uncomfortable positionH How
easy it would be to gauge our powers
and our purses at their right values
and act accordingly if we only would
but it is forever the same old story.
We stupidity pile up burdens upon
our shoulders that are absolutely
senseless, but that after a time weigh
