custom which has arisen in the
past few seasons is that on the part
of the very young to make two nights
of the festival. licensing on the even

Thus last evening many people were
annoyed till late bedtime by young
sters who used tick-tacks. shelled
corn and other devices to startle the
tImid. When one demonstrated with
the young folks on the ground that
it was not Halloween. he was invar-

Mayor Knox is determined to rig

practices tonight. Special officers
have been sworn in and many private

OLD AND THE NEW CUSTOMS
Chief DarneH Sounds Word of Warm
ing to the Youth of the
City.

Tomorrow is All Saints day and
this evening is Halloween, the occas-
ion when, according to the ancient
belief, the spirits OF the air in unrest
return to walk upon earth and vex
poor humans. The celebration of a
day in honor of all the saints was
begun in Asia about the fourth CEN
tury and the custom was introduced
into Europe 800 years later upon the
dedication of the Roman Pantheon as
a place of christian worship. The
original day of celebration was the
first of May, but with the introduce
ton of the custom into England it
was changed to Nov. !. There the
significance of the occasion gradual
ly changed and the observation of
Halloween began. Apples and nuts
grew into favor on that evening and
in some quarters il became known
as 'nut-crack' night. The game of
''bobbing" after apples floating in a
tub of water also came into vogue.
Just how the various modern customs
have arisen one by one would make
interesting reading if it were possi-
BILE to get at the facts.
With the dying out of superstition
the idea of spirits and hob-goblins
being abroad on Halloween has given
way to humorous observance of the
occasion. The disposition of the law
to show no leniency toward those
who transgress upon the rights of
others on the evening of Oct. 81 may
also be having its effect. At any
rate it is claimed that the night is
marked by less. of downright mis-
chief and more of harmless fun than
of yore.

ETIQUETTE OF GIFT-GIvING.
Some Of the Points to be Remembered in
the Giving and Receiving of Presents.


There is an etiquette governing
the giving and receiving of pres
ents, rs there is about most things,
because there is always best way
to do everything. If we penetrate
below the surface of the little cour-
teous conventions we shall find
that consideration for the feelings
of others underlies all. Do not
try to make your gift look as
though it cost more than you paid
for it. Aside from the paltry
spirit of such giving it is deIu-
sion and snare, for next year
your offering must seem to be as
fine as the one of this season, OF
you may appear to have been less
anxious to please your friend.
The best gifts are those which put
no tax upon material resources,
but trifes of which the recipients
may make frequent use, and so
keep the giver in mind Take
the time to write q few words of
loving or cordial greeting on the
cards that accompany your gifts.
Without that evidence of individ-
Hal, personal thought the Offering
Of even the finest present appears
somewhat graceless and perfun-
tory. A message on a card is
better than note, because more
informal, and one should not seem
to make much of a gift. Having
your presents daintil.y wrapped is
not less a matter 81 courtesy.
Let their outward appearance com
mend them. Leave them or send
them to their destination the day
before Ohristmas-unless you can
insure their reception early in the
day. A tardy gift appears like an

THE captivity of the American
missionary, Miss Stone, is not re-
moved from perplexity to the pub
lie mind as time progresses. Sew
eral weeks since word was sent
out that an immediate understand
ing with the brigands who have
her in their power was necessary
if her life was to be saved. Fol
lowing this, the case took on
another form. We were told that
waiting could be obtained, as it
apparently has been obtained, but
sit does not appear that any definite
negotiations have been effected
with Miss Stones captors. The
affair is muddle with tragedy
always impending in it, but pro-
videntially never realized. This
is really all that can be said with
certainty in the way of inform a
tion with regard to this most un-
fortunate woman. In the mean.
time, her sufferings from suspense
as to her ultimate fate, not to take
into account the hardships of her
experience among those who are
retaining her for ransom, must be
very severe.

THE Era's statement that the
schools in the east end of the coun.
ty were conducted under great diff
fculties last year for lack of means,
comes as a surprise in view of the
fact that two schools were taught
in Clifton for seven months and at
the end of that time the district
had a credit in the Office of the
County School Superintendent of
S50l.39, which has been carried to
this years account and may be
used by the district at any time.
With last year before us as an ex-
ample the Era's argument that the
