BROTHERS H0RRiD THINGS
Dinner for the Eminent German
Count Was Successful Until
They Spoiled It.

The Jones girl had been abroad and
had come home cultivated. The Jones
hnily bore it with a resigned pride
Until they learned that the eminent
Baron Hofsuneigener, recently ar.
rived in Harlem from the upper cir
cles OF Berlin, was coming to dine.
We've lived twenty-seven years
in Harlem and this hasn't happened
before" said Mrs. Jones. 'T feel as
though I didn't know just where to

Jane, "as usual. Only father must

AS for the baron, he was all plump

oysters he made one remark "Gut!"
said he. During the soup he made
one remark: Gut" said he. Dur
Ing the fish he made one remark:
"Ach, Gut" During the roast he
repeated himself: ZACH, Gut!" But

Then the boys broke their silence.
In chorus they said: "Pass it to him

Ancient Euyptian.

The question, "Of what race were
the ancient Egyptians?" has never
been satisfactorily disposed Of, but
we may be sure that they were not
negroes. They were not black, nor
was their hair 'kinky'-therefore,
they belonged to some other than the
negro race. They certainly were not
Caucasians, nor were they of the Mon
golian or yellow breed of man. The
builders of the pyramids were prob
ably of Arabic stock or stock in which
Arabic predominated. Although, as has
been intimated, it is by no means set
tied as yet as to just where the old
Egyptians are To be placed in the hui

OLD WEDDING DAY CUSTOMS
Many Superstitions Have Clustered
Around the Marriage Ceremony,
. Especially In Olden Times.

superstition never clustered round
any episode of life more than that of
the wedding day, especially in olden
times.
Then 1t was customary for the bride
to present her future. husband with
bunch OF rosemary, tied up with rib
bons, on his first appearance on the
wedding morning. This was supposed
to insure his love and loyalty, and to
make her happy forever.
In Yorkshire the old superstition
still abounds that nothing more un-
lucky could happen than for a newly
made bride to leave the church by a
different door from that by which she
entered.
Another quaint CUSTOM, for which
there Is no known origin, is, that
practiced in some of the midland and
northern countless. This: Is to ring
merry peal Of the. church. bells at the
first reading of the banns of an in
tending matrimonial couple. It is.
called the "spur peal" which in old
Anglo-Saxon means simply ASK"
OF course it is: we'll known that it
is the height of luck for the bride:to-
be to dream of fairies the night before
the actual ceremony. So much was
this idea believed in that many girls:
would peruse fairy tales before going
to- sleep.-Answers.

Only "a seconds remained of the
life of the round. Ritchie, near his
own corner, was poised for the dead
ly right cross again when Wolgast' S
left took him low. Billy Leland,
Ritchie's manager, leaped to the edge
of the ring, and shouted to Referee
Griffin and hundreds of voices raised
the cry of Foul, Foul" Griffin
rushed over and cautioned Wolgast
and in another instant the left rip
of the champion found the same sore
spot. Ritchie tried to fight back, but
he was plainly in distress.
Griffin without ,hesitating, reached
between the fighters and pushed VOL
gast aside and raised Ritchie's hand
in token of the victory.
Wolgast had the better of seven of
the rounds, four were even. The re-
ainder were easily Ritchie's. Wolgast
says he did not Intentionally foul
Ritchie and thinks it is poor way to
win the championship. He didn't
hear Griffins caution and does not
believe he struck the foul blow. He
said after the fight that ''Ritchie was
rough, and when first got in trouble
in the sixteenth it was from his
throwing me against the ropes in
stead of hitting me. I'll fight him
again tomorrow
Ritchie protested that he was foul
ed, but said that he was strong and
could have finished Wolgast in an
other round.
