RIDDLES ARE OLD AS TIME
But Boys Are Said to Be More Fond
of Them Than GirIs--First Of
Which There Is Record.

1t is curious fact that boys are
more fond Of conundrums than girls
are.
While all conundrums are riddles,
all riddles are not conundrums, the
. term conundrum being used more for
fiddles which are based on some fan
cied resemblance, such as, why is a
pig looking out of a second-story win
daw like the moon?" and the answer
is because it looks round. If anyone
objects that the moon does not always
look round. you can reply. Neither
does the pig"
Two of the most famous riddles
are at least 5000 years old. The first
of which there is any record is found
in the fourteenth chapter of Judges,
and was made up by Samson after his
fight with lion. He offered prize
to anyone who could solve 1t within
seven days, but no one got 1t. 1t is
recorded that his wife pestered him
to tell her the answer, but he abso-
lutely refused until the time was up,
and many think that he never intend
ed to tell 1t at all.
Bishop Whately never told the an
swer to any Of his puzzles. II they
were correctly guessed he Muld &C
knowledge that the solution was
right; but II no. one got the answer
he kept 1t to himself, and some Of his
enigmas are still unsolved.
One of the chief entertainments in
ancient times at any domestic gather
ing, such as marriage feast. was ask
ing riddles. and many persons spent
their lives in devising them and sell
ing them to the rich and great, just as
some public men now get others to
write their speeches for them.

Here. as everywhere, the loyalty.

All of the fine things that We have
said about love are not empty senti-

loves, with a sweetheart song, when
the gray, dark spirit of death and
doom goes forth to the harvest.
There is, in the evil old world, the
constant love Of a comrade- wife.
There is steadfast devotion to one
heart.

To a large part Of the world, today
ushers in a season of penitence. For
brief while the minds of many are
turned from the gayeties of the world
to the things of the spirit. The So
ciety woman puts aside her engage
ment calendar, frequently with sigh
of relief, and thinks with satisfaction
of long restful days, with possibly the
chance to really see and enjoy her
friends. The gay debutante exchanges
balls for sewing classes, Even the
housekeeper plans different menu
to be in keeping with the spirit Of the
season.
If the observance of Lent were
merely in these outward things, it
would be beneficial. The society wom-
an absolutely needs a rest after the
whirl of the social season. And with
the coming of spring a lighter diet
is helpful to the bouy SO that even

use.
But though this mere formal OBJ
servance of Lent may be helpful, it
is not the true observance of the sea-
son, and will not bring us the real
treasures that Lent has for us. And
if we could get off to some serene
height and look down upon this little
planet of ours, as does perhaps the
Supreme Being, possibly we might get
a better understanding of how super
ficiai is this formal observance of
Lent, how far removed from real wor-
ship, and how little it will do for us
compared with what the true Lenten
observance will accomplish
For, abstaining from meat and re.
framing from dancing is not observ.
ing Lent, if we do these things merely
perfunctorily and as the proper things
to do during the Lenten season. II
they help us to get into a spiritual
frame of mind, to come into commun
ion with the Great Spirit that broods
over all, then they are stepping stones
to the real observance of Lent, Bu
in themselves they are nothing. Len

is matter of the spirit, 1t is not con
.cerned primarily. with what we shall
eat, or what we shall drink, or what
we shall wear 1t is a time for the
spirit to shake off the things of the
world, and grow and develop and
come to know itself.
The stepping aside from society and
all worldly things will help, if we do
not stop here, if we do not think this
is sufficient. This is but the begin
ming. The attendance at church, the
dim lights, the soft music, are all aids
to acquiring the true Lenten spirit.
But Lent is not an intoxication of the
senses, a revealing in pure emotion,
even though it be of a spiritual nature.
When we have withdrawn from the
world, when our thoughts have been
turned upon spiritual things, then we
need to think, and think hard, for our
selves. We want to see life stripped
of all that the world has added to it.
We want to see the real things that
are left. We want to realize whether
We have any realities left, or if our
whole existence is bound up in the
glitter and show of the life we have
been living. We want to stand face
to face with our spirit, our real self,
and see what sort of being it is, what
| it is concerned with. We want to
realize that the spiritual side of life
is quite as real as the material, and
that it can be far more beautiful. And
! if we do this, we will begin to wake
up to the wonder of life. And when
the Lenten season is over, life will
have new meaning and new beauty
for us. We may go back to our old
round of duties or gayeties, but we
will see them with a different eye
They will have sunk to their proper
place in the scheme of things We will
! have had a glimpse of eternity and
have come to understand the meaning
of it. We will be able to compare the
things of the world with it, and in
the light of this comparison, all things
will have beSme new
