een going about restoring unhinged
gates to their own and the commission
of other similar good deeds?
If that reminiscence be not one of
yours, then one somewhat similar prob
ably is unless you were a city boy, as I
was not. 1 suppose there is no doubt
that town born lads have quite as much
fun in their weak way and manner as
country lads. but I must confess I have
never been able to understand how.
1t is not putting it inaccurately, 1
imagine, to say that Halloween, OBJ
served according to the methods that
are time honored across the ocean, is a
new Institution, comparatively speak
ing at least. in America It was brought
here by settlers who came latter than
the Puritans. by immigrants who came
TO better their condition and not for
liberty Of conscience. In some sections
where the population is largely made
up of this latter element the old Eng
hsh, Scotch and Irish legends undoubt-
eddy obtain, yet it is extremely doubt
ful If there IS one tenth of the Hal
1oween superstition anywhere in the
United States that exists in the mother
country unless it is among the negroes
of the south, where, since the extreme
observances of the occasion resem BILE
those Of the '.voodoo Doctors so close
", it has been completely assimilated
into the system Of superstitions held by
the children Of Africa.
A sort of half belief in Halloween
superstition has been widely dissent
mated by the boarding schools of the
land. and it is safe to assume that there
is far more of Halloween observance
among the children and young folks Of
the rich and we'll to do than among
those whose parents work for wages
throughout the land 1t is quite Gus
tomary nowadays for parents to plan
Halloween parties for their children, at
which many of the sports of the season
are entered into.

This view Of Halloween will perhaps
be entirely new to a majority Of those
who read this writing. Halloween i

sure, and perhaps in some parts of the
country with some of the same super
stition that marks its observance among
those who dwell on the British isles.
but this is rarely the fact among those
of the old time American stock. p This
is especially true Of those descended
from the Puritans. Those sturdy old
fconoclasts cast out all sorts of belief
regarding saints days and pagan festi-
walls, including even Christmas and the
Eastertide, in their prohibition Of cele
brations that savored Of either the Ro
man church or the Druids. The observ
ance of Halloween is a mixture Of
both, and l have no doubt that there
are many thousands in the United
States, some of whom will read these
words who were in as dense ignorance
of Halloween in their childhood as
was a business man of one Of ou1

not hesitate to deceive their readers Just
like some Republican papers that they
complain or a. number Of PopuIisf pa
pers have published that there were
1900 vehicles in the Populist procession

and are 80 large that any honest editor
would investigate before printing them.
The Populist paper at Abilene says there
we're just 267 teams. This is a very large
number, and there was no need of exag
gerating it. We can never understand
why the newspaper reading public will

In the old days it was believed that
witches did travel abundantly on Hal

port themselves most frislIily, and spells
then worked that worked no other night.
The burning Of bonfres was general in
Wales and Scotland on Halloween, and
lads and maybe lasses. too, then went
out masked and dressed in garments Of
quaint design
There were also many games on Hal

Some Of these games were such as would
not be admissible now, for the refine
