Diary OF Father Time

When you sit in / draught ano
sneezes two or three times, some one
will probably inform you that you are
catching cold. The Germans usually
say "good health" and similar wishes
are expressed by others. Sneeztng
now. however. does not seem TO create
such a hubbub as it did Thousands OF
years ago.
I remember. long time ago, 1t was
believed that men never sneezed more
than once, and then promptly died; Al
were, therefore, ordered to make some
salutatory exclamation after another
had sneezed. The ceremonies attend
ing the sneezing Of the King OF Mono
motapa show what O national concern
was the sneeze of tho ruler. Those
who were near him when 1t happened
saluted him in so loud tone that
those In the ante-chamDer heard 1t and
joined in the reclamation; In adjoin-
ing apartments they did the same, un-
til the noise reached the street ana
spread throughout the city.
When the King Of Sennea sneezed.
his courtiers Immediately turned their
backs upon him and loudly slapped
their right thigh.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE hand oil
fate seems sometimes to be the hano
of retribution.
Two big automobiles came together
with crash on a road In the northern
suburbs OF New York few days ago
In one Of them two men and two
women were killed Instantly. In tn,
other two men and a woman were
injured.
Both the men who were killed were
married. The wife of one Of them had
gone to a western city few days be-
fore. The news Of the fate Of the
other man was borne to his wife AM
children In their rome.
One of the women killed was mar
ried and had only few weeks age

band, from whom she had been sep.
arated for some time. The other was
a divorced woman. Both the NEIL
who were injured were married. The
woman with them was not the wife OF
either.

Women are divided into three
