PAINTING THE WORLD.
Indian Legend Of the Way Spring
Came Into Existence.

Indian Legend Of the Way Spring
Came Into Existence.
Once. long before there were men in
the world. al the earth was covered
with snow and ice
White and frozen lay the rivers and
the seas. white and frozen lay the
plains. The mountains stood tall and
dead. like ghosts in white gowns.
There was no color except white in all
the world except in the sky. and it was
almost black At night the stars look
ed through it like angry eyes.
Then God sent the Spring down into
the world-the Spring with red lips and
curling yellow hair
In his arms he bore sprays OF apple
blossoms and the first fowers-crocus,
anemones and violets. red. pink, blue.
purple. violet and yellow.
The first animal TO greet the Spring
was the white rabbit. The Spring
dropped a red crocus on his head. and
ever since then all white rabbits have
had red eyes
Then the Spring dropped a blue vio-
let on a white bird. the first bird to
greet the Spring. and that is the way
the bluebird was made Ever since
then it is the hrst bird to arrive when
the Spring comes down from heaven.
So the Spring went through the
world Wherever he tossed the leaves
from his fragrant burden the earth
became green. He tossed the blossoms
on the frozen seas. and the ice melted
and the fish became painted with all
the tint of his flowers. That is the
way the trout and the minnows and
the salmon became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow TO the Spring. So their SUBMITS
remain white and dead. for they would
let the Spring paint only the sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears fed from the
Spring. so they, too remain white to

Jews Will Observe New Year
Oct, 3.

On the evening of Ocober and the
day of the 4th the Jewish people ot
Lexington will observe the Rosh Has
hanah, or New Years Day Of the year
5671.
The meaning and purpose of this
festival is rot set forth explicitly in
the Bible, became the day of blowing
the trumpet-reminding the .Israelites
that new period of time begins; and
that no occasion could be more appro-
pirate for the endeavor after a new
life for amendmentfand reconciliation
with God. 1t was the day of memoir
ial when Israel felt himself held by
God in merc,ful remembrance.
1t is solemn occasion. though not a
mournful one. 1t is day of chasten-
ed memories, a day of rejecting on
mans frsilty of character.
BeiEg one of the solemn festivals
of Judaism. it is observed with great
earnestness and piety. On it the Jew
refrains from atteping to his daily
vocation and gives himself wholly to
slcrad meditation.
