COney Island.

Well, Coney Island is open, if
you have not seen the great resort,
after an army of men dug it out of
the mud of two floods, you have
missed something. Coney is pref
tier, cleaner, brighter, more pleas
ing than ever, and on last Saturday
when the Masons tnronged the
grounds, and on last Sunday, when
eager thousands hocked to the great
boats to take the up.river trip, you
should have heard the exclamations
of delight.
The many new attractions, the
electric autos, the Crazy Kitchen
and dozen more, gave infinite
spice to these two great days.
Next weeks vaudeville bill in
the Airdome will be a dandy for
fun and amusement; the Clubhouse
is, as ever, noted for its elegant
eats, and all over the grounds are
JOY spots that will make any holi-
day delightful day at the Island.
Joe Girard is again at the head of
the amusement specialties, and as
an enjoyment provider Joe is, as all
know, way out front.
There will not be dull day at
Coney this season, the management
having agreed on one idea, TO
make Coney the coolest, cleanest,
coziest sport within 10 miles of
Cincinnati.
All of the old attractions are ON
the job and the many new ones in
stall the spice that makes you want
to come back to Coney the minute
you leave.

Get In Line.

We are in receipt of a list of
names of the Unions in Hamilton
and Middletown that are affiliated
with the Ohia Federation of Labor.
There are quite few that are not
affiliated and these organizations
should send in their applications at
once to Thomas Donnelly, Secretary
Cincinnati, Ohio. Ali of the labor
legislation that is beneficial to or
ganized labor has been put through
by the 0. F. of L., at Columbus.
The officers of the state erganiza-
tion are continually on the job but
they always need assistance to bring
about results. No better way can
be devised than to have all labor
unions affiliated and assist in the
work. The unions affiliated with
the 0. F. of l.. are Brewery Work
ers, Carpenters, Trades Council,
Metal Trades, Engineers, Firemen,
Horse Shoers, Bal tenders, Machin-
lists, Molders 283 and G8, Plumbers,
Painters, Printers, Clerks, Mount
ers. Stage Employees, and the Metal
Polishers. The Middletown Metal
Polishers and the Central Body are

also a clause which provides that

The Custom From Which All Fools

The Custom From Which All Fools
Day Takes It's Name.
Most people call April / all fools
day, whereas 1t should be audi. e.,
old fools day The appellation prob
ably takes its origin from the follow
ing superstition:
In druidical times, between 10 and
II o'clock on the night Of April /, it
was customary for all those young
women who dared to venture into a
sacred grove and to take their stand
one behind the other
At the hooting OF an owl they COM
menced slowly running round and
round, to the accompaniment of such
words as these:
Ban-man, ban-man,
From berg, bach and ley,
Leap high, leap low
Come and run with me.
Thereupon, side by side with those
OF the girls destined to be married
within the coming year, the phantom
of ban, or white man, appeared. and
If any Of the girls were going to die
NIlHiu tue year DIdck HldH WAS seen.
Once while this ceremony was in
progress the spirit Of very old, totter-
ing white man put in an appearance and
exhibited such emphatic attention to
the girl he ran with that the other per
formers were much amused
The object of their amusement was
subsequently chaffed to such an extent
by every one In the village that she
fled from the neighborhood, marrying
before the year was out a strange
chieftain old enough to be her grand
father.
After this event the ceremony was
ironically styled the "auld fools gam
bol."-London Answers.

main Of physics has made the most
important discovery or invention, one
to the person who has made the
most important chemical discovery or
lnvention, one to the person who has
made the most important discovery In
the domain of medicine or physiology,
one to the person who In literature has
provided the most excellent work of
an idealistic tendency and one to the
person who has worked most or best

The prizes for physics and chem

The Dead sea is vast lake about
nine hours ride from Jerusalem. The
waters of the lake, save for an almost
imperceptible ripple, are quite still and
tolerably transparent, but salt and "bit-
ter beyond bitterness" and so buoyant
that one can float upon them like q
cork, and to swim it is only necessary
to move the hands The surrounding
scenery is dreary In the extreme and in
parts singuIarly grand. But the still

there is no sound of animal life on

shores of the famous lake.
