HALLOWEEN, NIGHT OF FUN AND
FR0L|C, ITS ORIGIN AND CUSTOMS

Throughout the English speaking
world Saturday night will be given
up to the celebration of the great
festival of Pipkin, Pumpkin and Nut.
This is the night O. Halloween
When a. the witches may be seen;
Some O. them black, some O. them
green,
Some O them like a turkey bean.
Long before the Christian faith
made way among the untutored peo-
pies Of ancient Britain, the Druids
had performed special rites on what
is now known as Halloween, Hallow-
mas eve, or, as it is sometimes called
'Nut Crack Night"
Fires were lighted deep in remote
forests, upon spurs OF hills, even
upon the great plains that stretched
between dense forests and partially
clear woodlands; mystic rites were
performed, the help Of the true God
was implored and the Vaccinations
of the powers Of evil protested
against, says the Kansas City Star
The earliest records bear witness
to universal belief that on this
night the powers of darkness muster
in great force and that all supernat
ural beings hold revel within the
sphere of humanity. When, later on,
All-hallow Eve became a Christian
observance, the old customs pertin-
ent to its celebration did not pass
into disuse; on the contrary, they
became more and more deeply estab-
lished, here and there accommodating
some new superstition, or annexing
some old belief that had long lin
gered without direct association with
any special day or locality.
Bonfres are still lighted on Hal
lowmas eve to drive away the evil
spirits. 1t is said that the obser-
vance of Halloween" is growing
among the American people, though
from a festival it has popularity
come to mean a time when registering
Youngsters remove front gates, up
turn sidewalks, ring door bells, take
wheels off wagons and buggies and
hide them, pull the neighbours cab
bage, feed the cat ginger; and to
prove that it was all done by "evil
spirits" wear grinning masks and
make hideous Jack o. Lanterns with
candles and pumpkins.
But all that 'horse play" Is a
perversion of Halloween. The prop
er observance of the night is of a
gentler sort, and is invested with a
tender brood of superstitions and
practises. 1t is the night when fair
les dance. witches ride and ghost-
walk, strange dreams foretell pros

TWO ARE SHOT.


OWINGSVILLE, KY, Oct. 31.-A
report from Rowan county is that al
Elliottsville John Johnson shot and
fatally wounded Mary Conn and
slightly wounded Mary Hunter. The
affair started over johnson whipping
a child of Mrs. Conn. Johnson had
knocked the two women down with a
chair, when Mary Conn secured a
revolver and attempted to shoot
Johnson. He wrenched the pistol
from her hand, shooting her twice,
then turned the pistol upon Mrs
Hunter, who was advancing upon
him wifi chair and shot her once,
slightly wounding her, bit not SER
iously.

A BATH.

When was just little child.
Before went to sleep
] always took my evening bath
liked II pretty deep
Sometimes I didn't want to go,
And sometimes there were tears;
But mother never failed to say:
NOW wash behind your ears,
'And don't neglect the corners" or
Don't splash too hard!' she'd cry;
Yet she was quick to help me
When soap got in my eye.
And now that I'm great big boy,
I wonder every day
Where other mothers learn the things
My mother used to say.

cones, to which brown and yellow
night moths might be fastened

cones, to which brown and yellow
night moths might be fastened.
A table decoration that is not eX-
pensive, vet effective, should have a
large pie made from three shades of
orange tissue paper, with black cat
sitting on top. Tie around the leg of
the cat narrow orange ribbons In
three tones, each end ribbon with
punches of brown twigs. Put one at
each place of a guest to be pulled at
the end of the meal.
Such a oie could easily be made at
home by covering a dishpan and
making the cats Of cardboards paint
ed black, with Green beads for eyes.
Floating needles is another Hal
loween game. The needles must be
creased; or dipped into sweet oil.
Small pieces of tissue paper are then
foated in a basin Of water and each
one carefully lays his or her needle
on piece of the paper. When the
paper becomes thoroughly wet it will
sink, the needles remaining floating
on the surface Of the water by reas-
on of the coating of oil on them.
Capillaritv makes the needles act pc
cuharly, some rushing to the edge
of the basin, others attracted to each
other, and still others repealed from
each other; and the way your needle
acts toward the others issupposed to
be prophetic of your fate, as, of
course, the needles are all named.
Another amusement is TO have sew
eral pieces of string about a yard
long, in the middle of each of which
is attached a raisin. Two people are
then selected at time to contest for
the "prize of life" Each takes an
opposite end of string in his or her
mouth, and whoever, by chewing the
string more rapidly, reaches the
raisin first may eat it, and so win
the prize. This is very amusing to
the onlooker, but there should be
enough strings with raisins for every
member of the company to indulge in
the sport for the benefit Of the
others.

men, maids and youths, have fixed
upon this time for Cupid worship,
for the divining Of what love may
have In store.
The first ceremony of Halloween,
according to Bobby" Burns, is that
of "kaling' or pulling the cabbage
stalks.
The right way is for two young
people Tin some parts of the coun-
try it must be two of one sex, In
others each pair must consist of a
youth and lass) to go hand in hand,
blindfolded, out into the kale or cab
bage patch, and there pull the first
stalks they come upon, returning at
once to the freside, where they are
unbandaged and left to read their
matrimonial fortunes as foretold In
the stalks. According as the stalk
is big or little, straight or crooked,
so shall be the future wife or hus-
band of the person by whom it is
pulled; the quantity Of earth stick
ing to the root denotes the amount
of fortune or dowry; and the taste
of the pith or custoc indicates the
temper. Finally, the stalks are plac-
ed, one after another, over the door
and the Christian names of the per-
sons who chance thereafter to enter
the house are held in the same sue
cession to indicate those of the in
dividuals whom the pullers are to
marry
1t is the custom in Ireland "for the
children to run into the cabbage yard
afore the even fun begins an to pick
out number O. cabbage stalks, an
name them arter any seven O. the
folk they have anything to do with ;
then, having finished WI this choos-
In, they dance around tile place
shouting out:
''If all are white, all go to heaven
'One, two, three, an up to seven
If one is black as Murtaugh's devil "
He'll soon be screechin' WI the devil.
On Halloween nuts and apples are
and always have been popular means
for telling fortunes. In early English
days nuts were so much used on
October 81 that it was called "Nut-
cracker night"
Popular favors for Halloween en-
tertainments are the little "siren
hoIns' with tiny pumpkins on the
whistle end. Children love these
horns, especially if they are filled
with confetti. A bit Of paper over
the tin of the horn holds the con-
fetti in It's place until it IS desired to
liberate the shower. Other favors
are the brown and yellow sunbon-
nets, one of which might be hung
on the chair of each feminine guest

Won Mob to His Side.

When Voltaire was sojourning in
London a crowd gathered to mob him
as he passed along the street. For
what reason? Because he was a
Frenchman. Boldly confronting the
mob he mounted a stone and addressed
them. Brave Englishmen!" he cried,
'am not sufficiently unhappy in not
having been born among you?" This
speech was so effective that the
crowd carried him on their shoulders
to his lodgings-John Bull Magazine.

am aware that there is a preju-
dice against any man who manufac
lures alcohol. | believe that from
time to time it issues from the cooled
and poisonous worm in the distillery
until it empties into the jaws of
death, dishonor and crime it demon
allies everybody that touches it from
its source to where it ends. ] do not
believe anybody can contemplate the
object without being prejudiced
against the liquor crime. All we have
to do, gentlemen, is to think of the
wrecks on either bank of the stream
ofdeath, of the suicides, of the in
sanity, of the ignorance, of the des-
titution, of the little children tugging
at the faded and withered breast of
wives asking for bread, of the men
of genius it has wrecked, the men
struggling with imaginary serpents,
produced by this devilish thing; and
when you think of the jails, of the
almshouses, of the asylums, of the
prisons, of the scaffolds upon either
bank, / do not wonder that every
thoughtful man is prejudiced against
this damned stuff called "alcOhol."
Intemperance cuts down youth in
it's vigor. manhood in its strength,
old age in its weakness. 1t breaks
the fathers heart, bereaves the
doting mother, extinguishes natural
affection, grasses conjugal love, blots
out filial attachment, blights parental
hopes, brings down mourning age In
sorrow to the grave. 1t produces
weakness, not strength; sickness, not
health; death, not life. 1t makes
wives widows, children orphans,
fathers fends; and all of them pau
pers and beggars. 1t feeds rheuma-
tism, invites cholera, imports pesti-
lence and embraces consumption. 1t
covers the land with idleness, misery
and crime. 1t fills your jails, sup
plies your almshOuses and demands
your asylums. 1t engenders contro
versies, fosters qharrels and cherish
es riots. 1t crowds your penitentiar-
les and furnishes victims for your
scaffolds. 1t is the life blood of the
gambler, the element Of the burglar,
the prop of the highwayman and
support of the midnight incendiary.
1t countenances the liar, respects the
thief, esteems the blasphemer. II
violates obligation, reverences fraud
and honors infamy. 1t defames be-
nevolence, hates love, scorns virtue
and ISLANDERS innocence.
1t incites the father TO butcher his
helpless offspring, helps the husband
to massacre his wife and the child to
grind the paricidal ak. 1t burns up
men, consumes women, detests life,
curses God, despises heaven. 1t
suborns witnesses, nurses perjury,
defiles the jury box and stains the
judicial ermine. 1t degrades the cit
izen, debases the legislator, dishon-
ors the statesman and disarms the
patriot. 1t brings shame, not honor ;
misery, not safety; despair, not
hope; sorrow, not happiness, and
with the manevolence of a fend it
calmly surveys its frightful desola-
ton and unsatisfed havoc. 1t pois-
ons felicity, kills peace, ruins NOR
ais, blights confidence, Stays reputa-
ton, and wipes out national honor,
then curses the world and laughts at
its ruin. 1t does all that and more.
1t murders the soul. 1t is the sum
