FRANKS OF SCOTTISH FAIRIES.
A Firm Belief In the ssFair Folk' Still
Lingers.

A, Firm Belief In the "Fair Folk" Still
Lingers.
There still fingers widespread belief
in the north Of Scotland that the t'fair
folk or ''gweed neebors, - as the fairies
are called, still live in the hills, and
during the first days of convalescence a
mother must be zealously guarded lest
one of the "wee people" come and rob
the child of it's nourishment. Some
times they succeed in carrying off the
mother. Here is one of the superstitious
legends:
A north country fisher had fine
child. One evening beggar woman
entered the hut and went up to the
cradle to gaze into the eyes of the babe.
From that time good health left it., and
a strange look came into it's face, and
the mother was troubled. An old man
begging for food passed that way. When
he caught sight Of the child, he cried:
"That's nae BARN. It's an image,
and the gweed folk has stoun his
speerit. -
Thereupon he set to work to recall
the fishers BARN. A peat fire was heaped
high on the hearth and black hen held
over it at such distance that it was
singed and not killed. After some strug-
CLING the hen escaped up the lum. A
few moments elapsed, and then the par
ents were gladdened by the sight of a
happy expression once more on the
child's face. 1t throve from that day
forward. Scottish Review.

A Dog Purse Snatcher.

: Pointer dogs can always be trained to
steal. Many Of themsare natural thieves
without training, and any Of the species
can be taught There is a dog of this
kind in northwest Washington. He will
pick up anything he can find around a
yard or outside Of store, but his spe-
cia]ty is ladies' pocketbooks and hand
bags. When he sees one Of these, he
grabs it and runs, always succeeding in
getting out of sight before he can be
captured or followed. No owner has
ever been seen, hence no complaints
have been made at police headquarters,
but there is but little doubt, if it were
possible to follow the animal, that it
would be found that he has been care
fully trained as purse snatcher and
that he takes his booty home to his
master. He seems to be aware that he is
doing wrong, jumping fences and dodg-
ing around houses when running away.

An Old Colonial Blockhouse.

Among the attractions of the town Of
Bourne, Mass. are two historic cellars.
One was dug by the Plymouth colony
and the other by the Dutch traders.
These cellars lie side by side, and the
structures built over them were filled
with goods so necessary for the comfort
Of the early pilgrims as we'll as the
Dutch. The pilgrims needed manufac-
tured goods such as the Hollander had
for sale and the Dutch required prod
ucts such as the colony Gould supply.
Governor Bradford, in his diary, states
that this block house was built as early
as 1927, only seven years after the land
ing Of the May fiower. st. Louis Globe

THERE'S NO ~ NAL HOLIDAY
Not Even the Labor Day Act Creates one,
Say the Lawyers.

| ~
Not Even the Labor Day Act Creates one,
# Say the Lawyers.
There would seem to be no such thing
n this country as a national holiday.
Lawyers assert that even Labor day,
which was set apart by act Of congress-
IN 1894 in such manner as to lead the
conddlng layman to suppose it at least
to be a national holiday, is not such
outside Of the District Of Columbia I'M
less by state enactment. The creation
and regulation of holidays have been
I left entirely to the legislatures Of the
individual states.
The act Of congress concerning Labor
day was approved June 80, 1894. It pro-
vides that the first Monday of Septem-
Der in each year, being the day cele-
DRAFTED and known as Labor day, is
hereby made legal holiday, to all in
tents and purposes, in the same manner
as Christmas, Jan. l, Feb. 20, May 80
I and July are now made by law public
holidays. ."
Clearly the proper construction Of
this statute can be arrived at only by
reference to the provisions bearing upon
! the other holidays named. The act MAX
ing holidays Of Jan. /, July 4, Christ
mas and 'any day appointed or recon-
mended by the president of the United
/ States as day Of public fast or thanks
giving was passed in June, 1870, and
was restricted in it's effect to the Dis
trict of Columbia. These days are holi-
days in the various states only as they
are made SO by the various state legis-
latures -.
The act of Jan. 81, 1879, makes Feb
~ legal holiday, and the act of Aug.
81, 1888, does the same for May 80,
and both are restricted in their applica-
ton to the District Of Columbia. The
act referring to Labor day says nothing
about the District of Columbia, but it
does say that the first Monday of Sep
TENDER shall be legal holiday, to all
lntents and purposes, in the same man
ner as Christmas, Jan. /, Feb. %, May
30 and July are now made by law
public Holidays -
The intents and purposes for which
and the manner in which those days are
made holidays are expressly limited to
the District Of Columbia, and so, by
necessary inference, is the act referring
to Labor day.
The misleading language of the Labor
day act has led to prevalent statement
that the first Monday Of September is a
holiday throughout the United States
by congressional enactment. New Y ork

In the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture of Dr.. Wards Linment For
years he struggled along with limited means,
striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established a living,
- paving business and made the name Dr. Wards'
a household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toiling and waiting,
+ Mr.. Watkins little thought that men could be
!. found so lost to every principle OF right and
Justice as to undertake to despoil him of his bus
mess and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
Gust as good as Dr.. Wards," frequently leading
Customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his busi-
and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins bought from Richard Ward, the
world wide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office
