Man in the Moon Leaeno.

There is n quaint tradition about
how the belief in the man in the
moon originated that is worth retell-
ing. Like so many of these beliefs,
1t began way back in Bible times,
and in quite another dress. BY
many nations the old man is sup
posed to be the one who first maze
his appearance in the BOOK OF Num-
bers (Chapter XIV, verse 32) Then
he was found by the children of Israel
gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.
He was taken before Moses and con-
demned to death. He was taken
later outside the camp and stoned
until he died One would think that
was punishment enough even for so
awful crime, but superstition took
him in hand at that point and con-
signed him to the moon, where, with
a bunch of sticks on his ured old
back, he was destined to climb for
ever up the shining hill and never
reach the top. The story goes that
his faithful dog was permitted to
share his fate, and if you look care
fully when the night is clear and
dark you will see the pair toiling
away upon their endless climb. The
face of the old man also grew out of
the oldtime tradition, but the figures
are quite plain if one puts on the
glasses of imagination. Washington
