A playful dog and a kerosene lamp made
bad combination in the home of Frank Smith,
2413 Nineteenth avenue S, at II o'clock last

"a desire TO play, and began running about the
room, shaking every article he could find. Grasp
ing the table with his teeth, he pulled
the lamp to the floor, splitting the oil the
carpet and himself.
The Oil Jared up and, while one person ran

Itention to put out the fire that was scorchlng
the dog. The animal was slightly burned and

in his acquittal and vindication in the

by able lawyers to be the strongest pos

strenuous attack by the state and will
have to be judged in the light of some
strongly contradicting evidence in the

into the woods and return in triumph
with May pole. They decked it
with flowers and boughs and ribbons
and set it up on the village green.
The fairest, or favorite, or best loved
girl in the village was CHOSEN to be
queen o. the May. They crowned her
with flowers and paid her homage I'M
till the close of the day. Youths and
maidens danced merrily around the
pole with songs and sweet music of
the pipe and viol
The May day games and rites were
a mixture of elements with legendary
and historical significance, but the
festival still retained It's real charac-
ter. 1t was joyous meeting of the
town and country TO welcome the
fresh beauty of spring. In the public
thoroughfares leafy screens and arch
es gay with flowers, and on the viii
lage green tall painted masts, decked
with garlands, streamers and fiowery
| crowns, attested the public rejoicing.
May day was thus a symbol of all
that is delightful and exhilarating in
the renewed life and vernal freshness
of the opening year.
In 1928 the morris dance was still
performed in Herefordshire. The
tune was the one we know today as
The Girl | Left Behind Me, and, as
may be imagined from the measure,
was a slow and dignified affair. When
the more sober carols and dances
were over. and the revelry waxed
louder. then with bells and shouts,
| the maskers, in their many-colored
| fantastic costumes, with hobby horse
and shrill pipe, would frolic about all
| through the fair spring day with un-
| tagging steps and jocund merriment.
| The last of the ancient carol singing
fingers today in stately old Oxford.
Every May day, at 5 o'clock in the
morning, Latin hymn is sung from
| the towers of old Magdalen.
1t is probable that some far earlier
rites. perhaps even connected with
ancient sun worship. gave this beau
| tiful and impressive ceremony to Ok
ford. In its present form it seems
destined to flourish and outlive all
other May customs and traditions.
| Long may it be ere the commonplace
influences of our prosaic age shall
i cause this beautiful remembrance of
the eternal spring to pass away. For
whether hailing from sun worship or
requiem, or expressing itself by means
of madrigal' or hymn, this May day
homage has its root in the love of
spring. What have we today in ex-
change for these fascinating fancies
of other days?

The alarm signal of draught is a
sneeze, which is spasmodic effo,t
OF nature to start up the circulation
and relieve the congestion. A person
may be far gone toward contracting q
cold before he sneezes, but the mo.
ment he gets this warning he should
change his position, look around for
the draught and move out of it or pro,
tect himself against it. A draught is
something to be sneezed at-and to oe
avoided.
DraVghts cause more deaths than
war, football. consumption and yellow
fever put together. Almost every
body who dies from disease dates his
sickness from taking cold. This is
especially true of elderly people. Yet
1t is a matter in regard to which there
is great ignorance and great inatten
ton. The season Is now approaching
when colds. influenza and rheumatism
will be quite fashionable amonl
people who live indoors, and they
may save doctors bills and lengtheI
their lives by rejecting on these home
ly suggestions.
