TWO POINTERS AS TO THE GOAT

ffYou may go into the goat business
and educate the people of the middle
West to eat goat meat" said Wiley O..
Cox yesterday, ''but you will not learn
from books what my father learned from
experience" and then Mr.. Cox gave a.
way trick of the trade.
1.-THE man who goes in for Angoras
will find that it is true they will jump
anything under 100 feet high and climb
q sapling. They will get at the neighbor's s
wash as sure as it goes on the line, and
there will be lingerie to pay for. But if
you would be on the safe side and keep
the billy there, turn him up and cut a.
way the little creeper that you will find
ct the bottom of the hoof. 1t will not
hurt him to lose it, but it ruins his ambi-
ton as montebank. 1t will save lots of
trouble to have a chiropodist get at the
Angora with nail trimmer"
Goat meat cannot be distinguished
from mutton ordinarily. In every car
of sheep that comes from New Mexico
there are sure to be from two to a dozen
goats in the lot. They all goto the same
block at the packers and the good wife
who takes home goats chops for lamb
chops is never the wiser. Nor is the
butcher. A goat is only goat when he
has his pelt on. After that he is sheep.

E0LLowEEN CUSTOMS AND DEC0RA-
TI0ES

Now that Hollowe'en customs consist
mainly of boisterous merry-making and
fireside tricks and tests, very little
thought is given to the peculiar rites and
ceremonies which marked its advent in
other countries in the early days.
Thoughts of pagan rites, divinations and
sentimentality are indissolubly associated
with All Hallow's Eve; and even in
these days, certain people attach peculiar
significance to the night of October 31st.
Immediately following comes the church
celebration, particularly among the Epis-
copalians, of All Saints Day, on Novem-
ber 1st, when they hold services in com
memoration of their dead and On the
next day, November I'd, the Catholic
church has another festival, called ALI
Souls Day. In olden times, however,
this season was much more widely cele-
brated, Romans as well as Saxons observ-
ing the holiday now dear to the hearts of
romantic youths and maidens; for it is
found that writers of antiquity have
traced the festival even into the shades of
the dusky Orient. Greeks, Romans and
Druids observed Hollowe'en with pecu-
liar solemnity, and All Hollows' Day
