DEMoNsTRATIoN OF SHORTHAND.

Student BOOys
 An unusual demonstration or pro- ficiency in shorthand writing was glV- en last night at the rooms or the Mas, sey Business College. when Haymono F. Kelley, of Chicago, entertalnea "a a and reporters by writing the Gregg system on the blackboard.
 The program consisted of wrlungs with chalk at rates or speed uarytns yrtt ing blindfolded at the rate of 2o0 words a minute, writing upside down an ana backwards, and recerding unfamiliar foreign languages h every S,a notes ease wifS ihS ease and acuracy; and the matter dic- tated was entirely new.
 The writing blindfplded and upside down, MT. Kelley explained, was done ease of the Gregg and not for prac- tical point.

He emphasized the importance of thorough prepara- ton, and declared tlat the demand was so great in the buiiness world that it behooved the student and beginner to give time to acquiring excellence rather than to cutting the corners.

THIS IS HALLOWEEN.
Ancient Festival That Is Observed
 Many Lands,

Ancient Festival That is Observed in
 Many Lands.
 This is the nicht O Halloween,
 When a. the witchie micht be seen; Some O them black, some O them green, Some O them like a turkey bean"
 So will sing the bairns of Scotland tonight, for it will be the eve of All Hallow's Day, and the spirits of the dead will wander abroad and, when the lights burn blue and the wind signs doloriously around the corners, all the witches and devils and misunderstanding elves will hold their grand anniversary celebration.
 Many maidens outside of the land of Scott and Burns, perhaps in America, and possibly in Alabama, and maybe in Montgomery. will eat the apple before mirror. feeling creepy as they look over their shapely shoulder for the dim, mist-like face of the husband that Is to be. Many others, of less timid hearts. will go down cellar stairs, pro- vided they can find a cellar, with mirror in one hand and lamp in the other, looking always for the vision of the partner that is to be. for girls, al- ways curious, must needs endeavor to pry into the future, eagerly, searching for a glimpse, be 1t ever so fleeting, of the man who will settle millinery bills in the future. Surely many coy and timid maidens will look for the face in | the mirror tonight, for 1t Is the night when the supernatural forces are sup posed to prevatl, and it cannot be pos sible that the materialism of material age has destroyed all the pretty super stitions that have come down through | six hundred years.
 l It has been said that Halloween is a | curious recrudescence of classic mythol- | ogy, Druidic beliefs and Christ super l Sfftfnnz nn NnUan1har ha o
 celebrated feast to Pomona, the god | dess If fruits and seeds, and 1t was | then that the stores laid up in the sum- | mer for use in the winter were opened. | Hence the appropriateness of the use | of apples and nuts at this. season. No l vember 1. or thereabouts, was also the | date of the great autumn festival to | the sun which the Druids celebrated in | thanksgiving for their harvest. Now the Druids believed in trarsmigration, and taught that on .he eve of this fe5- tival Saman, the Lord of Death, called | together the wicked souls that within | the jast twelve months had been con-
 demnsd to occupy the bodies of ani- | mals. But Saman might be propitia ted | through the priests by means of gifts
 and incantations to mitigate his sent | enCes.
 l From a festival of belief 1t has now l come to be a festival of jest and merry
 making. but superstition still fingers
 in the human heart, and there will be
 many tonight who hoping against hope, will try the tricks with the apples and
 lamps and candles and numerous other
 divinations, all carried on for the pur-
 pose of getting one glimpse of the man
 or woman who will be ones life part l ner.
 Halloween Will be observed in every l section of the country tonight, and in | Montgomery a number of Hallowee en
 parties and entertainments will be giv- | Cn.
