THE MAN IN THE MOON.
One Of the Greatest and Most Ancient
Of Superstitions.

In our infancy there was pointed out
10 us the mysterious man in the moon.
who looks soIemnly down from his
perch in the sky. No doubt we have
made many a childish speculation con-
corning this grave parsonage, who has
been watching the successive genera
tons on the earth come and go for
centuries, and wondered how he came
to be away up there in the moon SO
many miles from US.
Well, he was sent there because he
was naughty fellow. a wicked man.
who picked up some sticks that did rot
belong to him on Sunday. The fihSt
mention of this is in the BIZ lie, where
1t is told that certain individual was
put to death for such a proceeding.
From this Bible story originated one
Of the greatest and most ancient super
stitions-that of the man in the moon.
The man in the moon 10 known to
every nation, and is pictured as lean
ing on a fork on which he carries q
bundle of thorns or brushwood, which
he was caught stealing on the Sabbath
day; and as punishment he was con-
fined in the moon. The dark lines and
spots which compose the features Of
this traditional man are in reality the
shadows of lunar mountains on the
moon.

While Earlham College has been is

of alumni of the college. The scholar

SCHOLARSHIP At THE HIGH SCHOOL

led by ID a letter in the applicant s
behalf from his or her school principal
and CT a personal letter explaining
in detail the candidates reasons for
making the application. These let
tiers will be considered as private cor
respondence- The successful appli
cant will be notified by letter mailed
from Chicago, May LIST. 1907.
It is considered quite a compliment
to the local high school that it should
be offered this scholarship, as Swarth-
more college ranks very high and ac-
cepts only the best material from the
schools. Also, this club would have
the interests of the school in mind and
only send these to good preparatory
schools.
Several of the members of the SEN
ior class have signified their intention
in competing for the honor and Mr.. FL
labarger is more than pleased as he
wants Richmond student to win it.
The letter says that in a good many
ways they will be guided entirely by
his judgment.

presses it. Any member of the human
family may suffer from any disease to
which humanity is subject. and when
an individual so suffers 1T Is the cause

CHOICE MISCELLANY
Some Golf Balls.

Golfers are excited over a bali that
has just been patented, in which what
is called tissue" takes the place Of
gelatin, which suppressed water as the
component part Of the middle Of the
ball. This latest novelty recalls to me
some interesting memories of the orig
inal golf ball For centuries IL had
been a recognized fact that golf balls
could only be made in one way, the in
gradients being a stout leather case
stH1ed hard With boiled feathers, The
halls were expensive, but as that taadz
ed to keep the game select and aFisto-
cratic, so much the better. In the
spring of the year 1913 John Campbell
of Saddle, a mighty Nimrod of the
chase, whose athletic songs have made
him famous, first introduced gutta
percha balls on the links OF st. An
drews. But the golfers Of that day
were a conservative race and preferred
the old feather balls. Very soon, how
ever, the cheapness of the new ball be-
gan to appeal to the canny Scot, and
the manufacturers Of the old feather
balls, realizing that their trade was In
danger. raised a fierce protest against
the gutta percha abomination.-P. T. O.
