OF somewhat. harsh rebuke that one

an unwilling part.

UNJUST TO FRIDAY
LITTLE BASIS FOR sEL,Ee THAT
DAY Is A 100000.
Some Of the Most Momentous Events
In the History Of the World Have
Occurred on That Day-A
Few instances.

OF all the days Of the week, Friday
is the hoodo0; there ia no supersti-
ton that is more prevalent than that
which ascribes i'll luck to all under.
takings which are inaugurated upon
that day Of the week. Primarily this
superstition has its origin in the fact
that the crucifxion occurred on Fri.
day, and those who are thoroughly
welded t. he belief assert that Eve
and Adam ate the apple one Friday
Afternoon, SO great is the burden that
Friday must bear. 1t is q singular CO.
incidence that the Buddhists and the
Brahmips hold the identical distrust
Of Friday that the superstitious
among lis maintain. The fact that It
y hanguans day. is rather the re.
suit OF the superstition than one Of
it's causes.
OF all the nations of the Christian
world, the Scotch alone have a fond.
pess for Friday; with them the day is
the favOr4te one Of the week for wed.
dings. but this is only another in.
stance Of the contrariness Of the PEG.
pie Of the land of the heather. A die.
donary OF dates, recently published,
presents some arguments in favor of
Friday which show that the Scotch
people are warranted in their afIec.
ton for tbs day that is elsewhere re.
garded with suspicion. Among the in.
cidents that directly affect US as
nation, many Of the more important
have occurred on Friday.
Columbus. according to his author
lily. discovered America on Friday; by
the same authority the Pilgrim Fa.
theirs landed ON the Massachusetts
coast one Friday morning; George
Washington was born on Friday: the
battle of Bunker Hills was fought on
Friday, and so was the battle OF
New Orleans; the capture of Rich
mond. which marked an important
epoch in our late history, occurred
upon this supposedly luckless day.
In European history the day has
been no less important The birth OF
Queen Victoria occurred on Friday;
Shakespeare was also born upon this
day; the Bastile fell one Friday morn.
ing; the execution of Charles I. was
on Friday; the battle of Morengo was
fought on Friday. and the burning of
MOSCOW, which turned the tide of
conquest against Napoleon, occurred
on Friday as well.
The adherents of the Friday SUPER
stition will argue that, while these
events mark important steps in his.
tory. and while they brought good
luck to some people. they were ex-
ceedingly unfortunate for others.
While the burning of Moscow, for in.
stance. was instrumental in quieting
Europe, 1t was stroke of the worst
kind Of luck for Napoleon. But while
it is true that each of the incidents
mentioned were unfortunate for some
body or other, 1t is also true that each
brought about results that are for the
general good. 1t was rough ON King
Charles that he was killed, but his
death was decidedly an event that
furthered the cause of liberty. All in
all, it seems that Friday has a reputa.
ton that it doee not deserve.-Ana.

Saved hx n cinher.

The story is told of how a neatly
constructed cipher saved Sir John Ire.
vanion's life. This cavalier was taken
prisoner and locked up in Colchester
castle to, await his execution. On the
second day of his confinement the jailer
brought him letter, which, as far as
tho warder Of the castle could discover,
was merely note Of coincidence from
friend. But the letter had been con.
cocted on a cipher to which Sir John
had clew. Every third letter after q
punctuation mark Of any kind was to
tell. What he made out was this:
panel at east end Of chapel slides"
On the following evening the prisoner
begged permission to pass quiet hour
in prayer in the chapel. The request
was granted, and before the hour had
passed the panel had done its work
and the bird had flown.

ty to the Order.

Racine, Wis, Nov. st is now
known that the shortage in the ac-
counts of Supreme Treasurer j. Chris
tian Esklldsen Of the Danish Brother
hood of America is far from $4,000.
There should be in the treasury of the
nationau organization $25,665. Eskild-
sen turned over to Rolf Rasmussen,
who has been elected as an alternate,
certified check for $4,000 and bank
book on the Stensland bank of Chica-
go, in which the order was credited
with s2.S73. This leaves the shortage at
$17,792. The society holds surety
bonds to the amount of $4,000.
Eskildsen was prominent contract
or and his wife has turned over per-
sonal property to make the shortage
good. No trace of Eskildsen has been
found since his mysterious departure
Oct. 20. Eskildsen was close friend
Of Paul O. Stensland, the wrecker of
the Milwaukee Avenue State bank, who
is now serving term at Joliet.
Y. H. Voght of Davenport, Ia, an Of
ficer of the organization, is aiding In
the search for Eskildsen.

CONVENTION is RECALLED.
Evidence of Defalcation Was Found
in Council Bluffs.

cVIoenCo OF OoraICatlon was founo
in Council Bluffs.
Council Bluffs, Ia, Nov. 5.-The
story Of J. c. Eskildsen's shortage is
taken here to explain his desperate
fight to retain the treasurership, made
during the recent convention of the
Danish Brotherhood of America in this
city in which he was opposed by Fred
Peterson of Council Bluffs. Prominent
members OF the order here say the ex-
istence Of a shortage in Eskildsen's ac-
counts was suspected before the con-
vention and 1t Is further stated that
during the latter days of the conven-
ton Peterson and others made q de-
mand for a thorough investigation of
the treasury. A demand was also
made that the plan of depositing and
checking the society's funds as a pri-
vate account Of the treasurer be chang
ed. Eskildsen, 1t is claimed, opposed
the suggestion strongly as he did also
the suggestion for change in the
manner Of auditing. At the time Of the
convention. the preliminary auditing
committee discovered discrepancy of
$4,000 in his accounts which was ex-
planned, it is stated, by Eslkildsen, who
said it was occasioned by the loss of
that sum in business deal. He then
produced the money to cover the
amount. Members of the order here
say the balance in Esl1ildsen's hands
should be $4,000.

THE FORGOTTEN DEAD.
There Are Few English Tombstone'
Over Two Centuries Old.


Over Two Centuries Old.
Some years ago there was CORE
spondence in the papers. the main ar
gument being that there were very few
tonbstones in the open--tlat Is, out
side of church, which could show u
record of over 200 years. Doubtless
there are many tombstones of far
greater age, but most of these are now
undecipherablc from the rerishing ma
terial used or have sunk deep into tue
earth, in which case there can be small
doubt as to the inscriptions having be-
come obliterated.
The Oldest record have come across
was at Godshill churchynrd, near Vent
nor, where the visitor CON see legibly
inscribed, Annie Garde, 1892 but
probably some Of your readers may
know Of tombstones bearing an earlier
date The most surprising number OF
old tombstones clustered together are
possibly those grouped at Bonchurcll,
Isle Of Wight, these ranging from 1910
to 1902. In all there are seven, having
these dates: 1915, 1919, 1920, 1927,
1916, 1857, 1902.
So. far-that is, during three years
search--I have found tombstones of thu
seventeenth century at Godshill, Bon.
church, Brading and ST. Lawrence
(Ventnor), In the Isle of Wight; at Wa.
teringbury, In Kent, where there are
several in excellent order; Mt Tonbridge,
Bristol, Ipswich. Harwich, Southwold,
Colwyn Bay (old parish churchyard),
and at Millbrook, near Southampton.
might note that in all l have so far
found only thirty-fve tombstones over
200 years Of age-London Standard.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured,

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining
of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube Is inflamed you nave a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored
to it's normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of

"THE ARABIAN NIGHTS"
Sir Richard Burton's Translation Of
the Tales.

the Tales.
'The Arabian Nights" was first in.
-troduced to Europe by a Frenchman
named Oakland, and the first English
versions were simply TRANSACTIONS OF
his. Then Dr. s gave very su.
perlor edition, ''occ,,3ionaliy corrected
from the Arabic" In 1885, however.
appeared an English translation entire.
ly from the Arabic, with copious notes
and illustrations. 1t was Edward VIII.
liam Lanes a gentleman whose long
residence In Egypt had fully qualified
him for his work. This translation
may be said to have held the field I'M
til the appearance of one by Sir Rich
ard Burton. Sir Richard was daring
and successful traveller, who had re-
markable facility in acquiring eastern
languages. He performed pilgrim
age to Mecca disguised as pilgrim, a
feat as difficult as 1t was daring. In
1872 he was appointed to the post Of
British consul at Triest. Here he
applied his knowledge of Arabic to
making faithful translation Of 1.-THE
Arabian Nights Entertainments" sup
plementing his work with copious notes
and terminal essays which have been
called mine Of curious and diverting
information. Its publication caused a
great sensation. Details were freely
given that had previously been sup.
pressed. But the accuracy of the trans.
lation as a whole was candidly ac.
knowledged, and Burton may be cred.
tied with having made into the Eng.
lish language the finest translation of
these wonderful Arabian tales.-Lon.

al Bird Performer.

Canaries and other tame birds are
sometimes taught to perform tricks,
but it always has been regarded almost
an imposslbility to train a wild bird.
Andrew Hume, the famous Scotch bird
lover, trained one of the widest of
Scotch birds to perform all sorts of
remarkable tricks-to jump and keep
time with the skipping rope, to per-
form on the slack and tight rope, climb
an upright rope, stand on top Of run
ming carriage, draw cards out of a
box, mount ladder and ring bell,
go round wheeling stair step by
step and fly to its owners head when
called upon.
