THE MAN IN THE MOON.

There Is a quaint tradition about how the
belief in the man in the moon originated
that Is worth retelling.
Like so many Of these beliefs, 1t began
way back in Bible times and in quite an
other dress. By many nations the old man
Is supposed to be the one who first made
his appearance in the book of Numbers
(chapter XIV. verse 3d.. Then he was found
by the children Of Israel gathering sticks
on the Sabbath day. He was taken before
Moses and condemned to death He was
taken later outside the camp and stoned I'M
til he died One would think that was pun
ishment enough even for awful a crime.
but superstition took him in hand at that
point and consigned him to the moon,
where. with a bunch of sticks on his tired
old back. he was destined to climb forever
up the shining hill and never reach the top.
The story goes that his faithful dogs were
permitted to share his fate. and II you look
carefully when the night is clear and dark
you will see the pair toiiing away upon their
endless climb.
The face Of the old man also grew out of
the old-tme tradition. but the figures are
quite plain If one puts on the glasses OF
ina gination.
