lished an ostrich farm. They used 10
sneak up at night and hit the big
stupid birds on The heads with pieces
OF rock. One day visitor at the
farm who knew a thing or two. no.
ticed that the skull OF one of the birds
that had been killed, There was a
great dent In the skull.
Pretty hard kind Of rock that would
ma Ike dent like that in bone" was
the comment, The more he thought
OF IL the more he wondered about the
stone and finally went out and picked
up few. Examination proved them
TO be diamond crystals.
For month these flems, the hardest
known substance In the world, had
been used as missiles and no one knew
their value. Every morning those
white men had been mo urnfullv gath
ing up wealth in their ostrich pens
and throwing it over the fence be-
cause they did not realize what they
were doing.
Are you going to De as ignorant and
as foolish? Are yon going TO throw
your local merchant over the fence be-
cause you do not realize the great val
ue he is TO the community? After all
he is the diamond that is killing the
abuses of the trusts and other bust
ness combines. He is doing more for
you than merely selling you guods.
He is keeping the cost Of living down
more than anyone else.
From that point OF view alone. he is
worth fortune TO you. Yet in many
cases this missile that is the only eff
ective in fighting trusts is being over
looked, sighted and unappreciated.
Perhaps you never thought Of this be-
fore. If you haven't its not too late
to think'about it now.
A year hence it may be too late,
Que can imagine the feeling Of those
men who threw thousands of dollars
worth Of diamonds. Your regret will
be equally sincere if you loose your
home stores, IL your local merchants
leave you. And its hard TO replace
them. They know how their prede-
cessors Jared and would naturally
think twice before investing their
money.

Origin of Halloween.
Dear .Margery Doom

Dear Margery Doom.
Please let me know through your
paper something about the origin of
Halloween? And oblige. c. NJ. w.
Hallows Eve. or Halloween, is the
night of October 81, the eve of All
Saints Day. which is November 1,
and is probably a relic of pagan times
or of medieval superstitions. as it has
nothing whatever to do with the
church festival. In England and Scot
land it is especially selected as the
time for trying spells and divinations
in love affairs. The superstitious ira
dition regarding it is that it is the
night OF all others when supernatural
influences prevail, when spirits of the
invisible and visible world walk abroad,
for it was believed that on this mystic
night the <human spirit was enabled by
the aid of a supernatural power to
detach itself from the body and wan
der through the realms of space.

HINTS FOR HALLOWEEN.


Among new fsvors for Halloween are
those that contain trinkets emblematic
of the season. The ~youngster who finds
a toy pumpkin or apple at her plate
will expect to find in it Il usual box
of candy. Instead there will be a tiny
watch or miniature clock, a signet ring,
all sorts Of good luck charms.
These are the cheap trinkets that
usually come in bonbons, but the host
ess who wishes to give things worth
while can buy the charms sold Tor we'd
ding Il birthday favors, and wrap
them carefully in tissue paper.
II the papier mache pumpkins and
apples cannot be found the real fruit
can be substituted. Choose rosy APP
pies with stems, cut off the top for a
lid. scoop out the inside and stow away
the souvenir, seeing that 1t is, first
carefully tied up with yellow or red
ribbon to match the case.
Combine gay colored bonbons with the
pumpkins and trinkets, trail a few
vines among them and ysu will have
an artistic central decoration not as
stiff as the conventional pie and not
half so hard TO make or as expensive.

8. What do other countries have equiva-
lent to our Thanksgiving Day? Hoping
to see the answer to these questions,
1 am, STAR READER.
The first Thanksgiving Day was cele-
brated ia Plymouth. Mass, in 1881.
Thanksgiving Day Is strictly American.
Other countries have national holidays,

CONTINUED From Yesterday.)


Cherry Malotte had experienced a
new sensation, and she didn't like 1t.
She vowed angrily that she disliked
men who looked past her; indeed, she
could not recall any other who had
ever fdone so. Her chief concern had
always been to check their ardor. She
resolved viciously that before she was
through with this young man he would
make her a less ~listless adieu. She as
slred herself that he was a selfish,
| sullen boor, who needed to be taught a
lesson in for his own good, if
for nothing else; hat a woman's
curiosity had aught to do with her
evaporation she would have denied.
She abhorred curiosity. As a matter
OF fact, she told herself that he did not
interest her in the least, except as q
discourteous fellow who ought to be
shocked into a consciousness OF his bad
anner and, therefore, the moment
the two men were well out Of the room
she darted to the table, snatched up
the magazine, and Skinned through 1t
feverishly. Ali Here was the place!
A woman's face with some mean
ingless name beneath filled each page.
Along the top ran the heading
Famous American Beauties" So it
was a woman! she skipped backward
and forward among the pages for fur
ther possible enlightenment, but there
was no article accompanying the pic
lures. 1t was merely an illustrated
section devoted to the photographs OF
prominent actresses and society
women, most of whom she had never
heard OF, though here and there she
saw a name thai was familiar. In the
centre was that tantalizlng clean-eut
edge which had subtracted a face
from the gallery-a face which she
wanted very much to see. She
paused and racked her brain, her
brows furrowed with the effort at
recollection, but she had only glanced
at the pages when the magazine came,
and had paid no attention to this part
of it. Her anger at her failure to re-
call this particular face aroused her to
the fact that she was acting very
foolishly, at which she laughed aloud.
"Well, what of it," she demanded of
the empty room. Hes in love With
GONE society ninny, and / don't care
what she looks like" She shrugged
her shoulders carelessly; then, in a
sudden access of fury she flung the
mutilated magazine yiciously into a far
corner OF the room.
The travellers slept late on the fol-
lowing morning, for the WEAKNESS of
weeks was upon them, and the little
bunkroom they occupied adjoined the
main building and was dark. When
they came forth they found Chaka-
wanna in the store. and a few moments
later were called to breakfast.
