Friday. the Un1ucky Day

IN America and England Friday is considered
the unlucky day. Marriages seldom take
less than two per cent of all the marriages
occur on Friday. 1t is on this day that the
spirit of misfortune is supposed to run riot
over the country.
All will remember the story of the brig
builder, in spite of all the ominous warnings of
his friends named Friday; and then, not salts
fed with defying i'll luck he challenged it to
deadly combat by putting his vessel in charge
of skipper named Friday and setting sail for
a distant port on the day bearing that name
The fact that the brig foundered on this very
voyage only lends reason to the belief that
Friday is unlucky day.
l have known gamblers who would never
play on this day, and even those who profess
an absolute disregard for superstition rarely
start on a journey on Friday unless necessity
demands it, and then it is not without certain
qualmy feelings.

Burning in Ehigy

THE burning of people in
L effigy has come from fool
ish superstition of the ancients,
who believed that by burning a
likeness of a person they were in
flicting pain upon the individual
himself. Theocritus tells us that
the Greek sorcerers killed their
enemies by magic rites performed
over the effigy of the person who
had offended them, and Vergil
also makes mention of this.
In the days of witchcraft and

In Spain and Mexico Tuesday is considered
the unlucky day, and in Scandinavia it is
Thursday.
In France the tradition that Friday is an
unlucky day is strong Seamen will not sail
on this day, and there are few marriages.
A strange contrast prevails in Scotland
where marriages Friday exceed those OF
any other day by thirty-two per cent.

persecution one of the most common charges
against witches was that they made waxen
images of their enemies which they melted
before fire, and thus caused the dissolution of
the originals.
The Japanese still regard the effigy as a
means of punishment of faithless lovers, and
in France to the time of the First Revolution,
execution by effigy was legal rite. In the
Netherlands the same illogical custom pre-
vailed and the different religions burned the
effgies Of each others leaders with zeal. In
England the burning of effigies was also prac-
tised as it was later in America.
No doubt from the ancient custom of burn
ing the efhgy arose the idea of placing the wax
figures of eminent men in Westminster Abbey.
In olden times, upon the death of celebrity,
waxen figure representing him fully dressed
as in life was made and carried in the rear of
the funeral procession. After the service the
efhgy was set up in the church as a temporary
monument, and during the time it was on ex-
hibition it was customary to paste pin
pieces of paper containing complimentary
ePltaphs upon it. The royal figures in West
minister Abbey date back to the fourteenth
century.

SOME SUPERSTITIONS

The superstition which re-
CARDS Friday as unlucky origin
ally came from an ancient
custom. Many years ago it
was usual TO observe Friday
as a festival day in honor of
the Goddess Freya. Those
who did not give up this
day to honoring the goddess,
and who pursued their own in
clinations, were supposed to in
cur the wrath of Freya and to
be doomed to i'll luck. The
superstition remained after the
EXPLANATION had been FORGOTTEN.

Carl Reeder Charged with
Selling Passes -.Is Now
Under Arrest.

Carl A. Reeder, former clerk IN
the office OF W. B. Story. chief engi-
neer OF the Santa Fe Railway com
pany. was yesterday brought to To
peka from Cedar Rapids. Ia. by a
Santa Fe special agent to meet the
charge OF defrauding the Santa Fe
BY obtaining and selling passes to
fictitious persons.
Reeder. in his position In the office
OF the engineer. usually took pass
acquisitions aud other correspondence
to the general managers office. In
this duty Reeder was able to fll out
pass requests for fictitious persons
and receive the pass from the tran
portation Office in person.
Reeder was discharged from the
service OF the Santa Fe about two
months ago for misdemeanor. and H.
H. German worked up the case after
he left. The operations Of Reeder
were first brought to light by special
agents OF the company discovering
passes on sale in ticket scalpers' Of
flccs In Kansas City. None Of the men
to whom the passes had been issued
could be found. In further investiga-
tion Mr.. Germain found that all Of
the passes had been issued by re-
quests from the Office Of the chief en-
gineer and suspicion soon settled upon
Reeder.
A warrant was issued and Reeder
was arrested In Cedar Rapids yester'
day. It is said that he admitted tc
Mr.. Germain that he was guilty Of
obtaining the passes.
