WITCHES AND PLANTS.
Many Legends and Traditions That
Link Them Together.

Many Legends and Traditions That
Link Them Together. 1
In all countries in which the witch
craft delusion now exists or In which
It prevailed in former times we find
folklore stories connecting those mys-
FERROUS bogies with the plants Of those
particular regions. Even the great
Shakespeare causes his witches to dis
course learnedly on the diabolical
properties Of "hemlock digg'd 4 dark
and Of "slips of yew silvered Id the
moons eclipse. They are supposed
to have had their favorite flowers as
well as plants, and In England at the
present time foxglove Is spoken Of as
witch BELLS and harebells as witch
es' thimbles." The common ragwort
is well known as the witches horse, Z,
the tradition being that they mounted
rank groWths Of that species Of weed
and rode the Skies" just as the dame
with the pointed hat rides the broom
IN the familiar picture. In Germany
and throughout northern Europe it is
the belief thst witches float from place
to place on beds Of hay, composed
largely of witches blossoms and ssdeyil
spikes, this last being q species Of
dWarfed slough grass. st. Johns wort,
which is now SO popular for shoulder
and buttonhole bouquets on st. Johns
eve, was formerly worn for the ex-
press purpose OF ayerting the crafts
and subtleties of the witches, bogies,
ghosts and spirits which the European
peasantry believed walked abroad on
that night Of witching mysteries. -

It is chiefly with the foreigners that we

There's no fear in the struggle. It's
just trial OF strength and skill, like
a game Of football. a fish isn't afraid

about It. And there is no gasping on

The Passing Of Conventions.

= u &
Fargo Forum: There will be no
more state political conventions in
North Dakota as long as the Sharpe
primary election measure remains nm
repealed. North Dakotans will have to
experiment with much broader law
than that with which they dealt last
year. Every nomination, from the
most loWly constable up to the United
States senator, will be made under the
primary system. Compl ications will
arise, as the law is an intricate affair.
OF the thousands Of voters only a few
hundred are at all familiar with its
provisions, and the voters will have
to. study the problem between now
and the next general election. The
new law means radical political
change in North Dakota Where con
yentions were once manipulated. ef-
forts will now. no doubt, be made to
lead the voters to accomplish the
same results by means Of ante.elec-
ton suggestion. It will make new
kind OF politics. probably new bosses.
It is certain the boss will continue to
be feature Of North Dakota political
life. No mere primary election law
will ever entirely remove him from
the scene OF activity.
