CURIOUS Facts Concerning the Origin .

Why is q mayor called I mayorl
There Is riddle for you and it soun ds
lust as sensible as that most foolish Of
Ill riddles: Why is mouse when u
Epins?"
Here is one explanation OF why q
mayor is called mayor. Long, long
years ago In England every year about
midnight on the nrst OF May boys and
girls Of each village used 10 90 IN one
l0ng procession to the nearby woods
On their way they blew horns and >ane
many merry Maying songs. In the
woods some OF them cut a Ions MAY
sole, tall, slender. supple tree. lNhers
gathered Covers as many as they .0nld
carry. Then laden with flowers and
bearing the May pole In steke hey
Same back to the village abous day
break. The May pole, festooned with
Howers on the tip, was planted / the
village green. The doors and Windo ~
Of the village cottages were de- led
With flowers and every one prepare,
for a gala day. About The green bay
booths were built, where food was
served. Every one was dressed In Il
gayest clothes and wore howers There
we're bonhrea and professions and
aar y and stage plays. A May queen
and often a king was chosen to b.
master and mistress of the ceremop *
and the fun listed till midnight and
often was continued the next day and
the next. until six days were consumed
In merry-making.
But you say what has ali this to DC
with the mayor. Just this The May
pole was left standing on the green all
the year and was the standard OF
Justice. Here the people brought theii
governors and barons and even king
who had acted unjustly and deposoe
them and disgraced them at the MAJ
pole. Here the worthy governor, OF
lust ruler. was given lawful power and
was called the mayor; you see 1t is but
} shert cut from May to mayor
Ons Of the funny customs on May
Day was that of tho Morris dancet
There were eight of these dancers, who
wore white suits, with strings OF balls
fastened round their knees 70 mabe
music as they danced. With the baorr e
dancers were also a fiddler, clown, 9
squire and a sword bearer. The svcfd
bearer carried a sword decorated With
ribbons and also large cake IN a
round tin. He cut slices from me cake

was supposed to bring good luck to
those who had it and many dreamed
on 1t, just ~ girls dream on wedding
cake nowadays.
On this same May day the milk
