WITCHES AND WITCHERY.
Anecdotes of Spell-Putters as Re-
counted in England.
From r. P.'s Weekly.

1 l.. T. weekly.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Lewes in the Occult Review,
tells some stories about witches / must
apologize to my psychic readers for re-
peating them. as no doubt most Of them
take that admirable monthly: III oldcn
days Welsh witches used to put spells
on the animals of neighbors who an
noyed them. II a COW was the victim it
would sicken of no apparent disease,
cease to give milk and If the spell were
not removed. would die. The effect of
''witching' a pig was to cause a curl
Gus kind of madness. something like a fit;
this again ended fatally unless a counter
charm was forthcoming. Quite recently
l saw one of these charms quoted in
local paper by a collector of folklore.
An old witch living not far from Lang
adock (in Carmarthenshire) - on one
occasion when she had witched a pig,
the animal. She came and put her hand
on the pigs back, saying 'Duwa'th CAD
wo fth berchenos-'God keep thee to
thine owner. Which seems a mild way
of calming a frenzied pig
"A noted WITCH says Mr. Lewes,
used to live about a mile and a half
from my own home. She was known as
Mary Perllan Peter, from the name of
her house, Perllan Peter. deep down in
thickly wooded ravine. or dingle. as we
ignating individuals is common in our
part of Wales. where surnames among
the peasantry are chiefly limited to
Jones, Davies and Evans. SO that a
persons Christian name, followed by that
of their house. is far more distinctive
than using a surname most probably
common to half the people in a parish.
So the witch was Mary of Peters Or
chard.' 'perllan' meaning orchard.
though who Peter was / could never
find out. and she was undoubtedly a
powerful one.
.One day she asked neighbor to
and the man very unwillingly consented,
as the path down to the cottage was very
steep and the corn heavy to carry. On
the way he spilled some. and Mary was
very angry and muttered threats OF her
friend when he left And when he got
back to the home and went to the table
what was his amaZement to see his little
mare sitting like a pig on her launches
and staring wildly before her. He went TO
her. and, pulling at the halter. tried to
get her on her feet but in vain. she did
not seem able to move. Then the man,
very frightened, bethought him of the
witchs threats. for he felt sure the mare
was spellbound. So he sent off for Mary
TO come and remove the spell, and when
she arrived she went straight up to the
animal and Moron fach what ails thee
now? was all she said. and the mare
jumped to her feet as well and lively as
ever.

BRITISH OFFICERS KICK

LONDON. November 2S-The recent
announcement that officers of the Guards

pate In social and military circles as to

Reputation for Smartness.

II IS also advanced that people look 10
officers of the guards to keep UP their
reputation for smartness both on and off
parade, and that to see an officer in Lon
don dressed like chauffeur or groom is
violation of the best traditions of the
brigade of guards.
On the other hand it is advanced by
those who have been aroused by the order
that no laws are Interchangeable; that the
motor car and the growing popularity of
golf have changed all the laws of fashion,
and that to insist upon a silk hat in Lon
don Is barely less extreme than TO de-
mand revival of knee breeches. satin
coats, lace ruff1es and three -cornered
hats.

for him as he had always been
! a home loving dog, and Scarcely
ever left the place.
But with little coaxing he was
persuaded to accompany the
wagon and he followed them for
about two days when one night
his longing for his old home got
too strong for his dog heart to
resist and he left them and came
back to the old claim shack.
Now the house had been en-
ptied Of all its furniture, the
fences were taken down and
everything had the appearance
Of a forsaken homestead.
But did he leave the place that
had been his home for so long?
No, and until tits day he is
there, there at the forsaken, lone
ly shack, the dismal, barren,
bleak hillside awaiting the re-
turn of those whom he loves with
all the power, all the intelligence
of his dog heart.
Thinking no doubt that some
day they will return and he will
be greeted by the happy shining
faces of the little children. and
hisipoor doggy heart become hap
py again.
And there you may see him as
you pass the place strangely re-
ticent, but as you leave the house
in the distance you can see him
sauntering. slowly back, to keep
up a sad gloomy watch.
What faith! What Love! Who
can fathom such deep true, yet
sad intelligence? We must ad-
NIT with the great Missouri Sem
ator, that dog is mans best
friend.
And the story of the dog of old
Rome comes to61r mind and we
say with it, faithful unto death

A True Dog Story.

1t is generally known that
people who do not understand.
and know the conditions here in
this broad open. prarie land,
think that we have no interest,"
ing local history; but it is an
erroneous idea.
We may not have so great a
number of local happenings of
decided interest as some of our
older and more thickly populated
communities; but as to their
kind and quality we take a place
second to none.
AID to prove to you our fair
ness in the matter we relate to
you the following story which
we know to be a fact.
About a year ago at this very
time a family having proved up
on their homestead decided to
pack their goods in a wagon and
drive overland to their former
home some four or five hundred
miles distant.
now there belonged to this
family a large yellow dog, of no
particular breed, who had been
raised from a wee puppy by
them and of course he was to
follow the wagon something new

PROSPECT HILL.

Walter L. Bales, of Excelsior
Springs, Mo. favors US with an
occasional copy Of his excellent
paper. Notable among interest
ing news items with which it's
columns abound, was a two COL
umn account of Ex-Governor Sui
zers visit among them and his
lecture, "The Treason of Tam
many" How warmly he. was re-
ceivod there. How he was an
Abrah I'm Lincoln type Of a n an
honest to the core, that he was
born on the sane street, where
Aaron Burr was a boy. That
Burr was the founder of Tam:
many and how he lail bare tn
tricks in that impeachment trial.
Sulzer indeed captivated the peo-
pie of Excelsior Springs.
No doubt most of the RECORD
readers received a copy Of Hon.
Seldolnridge's speech before con-
gress on the currency bill. He
makes it quite feasible that when
that law becomes operative. that
great panics will be we'll nigh
impossible. Under government
control and the banks so
connected that public confidence
will have no reason to be shaken
and their fear of banks breaking
will be thing of the past. The
writer also has at hand a copy Of
Hon. Claude Weaver's speech
before the House of Representa-
tives on the dam question. He
is brilliant representative from
Oklahoma. In his classic Grafton
he says There are three great
features of this bill that stand
out prominent, like the three
bright stars on the belt of Orion.
lst, A system of elastic cur
rency responding to the needs of
trade etc. End, The power of
government to fix the rate of in
terest etc. 3rd That the curren-
cy shall be based on the products
of labor and not on debt; on pro-
ductjon and not on SPECULATION.
Everybody should have a copy
each of these speeches to keep
their mird; free from the illu-
sive arguments Of Wall street and
its satellite.
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Kennard.
of Chamberlin. MINI, favored US
with an interesting letter last
week. This entire community
wi be interested in hearing from
these former favorftA Citizens.
They write how busy they are
getting their R;x farm toEgAts,
MIR. Kennard has sold the timber
on his place and now a saw mill
and a crew Of men are camped
near by, chdpfinr, hauling and
saving. Such activities as be-
long to opening up a farm in the
forest are theirs now and you see
they are busy sMey speak Of
ing up to the 3rd of December.
They were well and that is as good
news as they could report Of
themselves. when they get that
farm cleared up and out Of the
woods we will look for them back
to their nice place by lArapahoe. :
They are 80 miles from lake Itas-
ca. where the Mississippi river
rises. This is getting up in the
world some.

almost three times as many as
Illinois, and practically twice as
many as the average for the ma
ton.
But 1911 was a decided i'm
provement on 1910, so far as Col
orado was concerned. This is the
way the figures stood in the lat
ter year: Miners killed per 1000
employed: Illinois, 1.97; Penn
sylyania, 3 OF; Colorado, 20. Sc;
average for country, 1892.
That.ye Colorado succeeded
in killing ten times as many as
Illinois and six times as many as
the average for the country.
Some Of the apologists for the
coal,companies attempt to explain
these figures by talking about the
careless methods of the ignorant
foreigner" whom the Colorado
mine owners are compelled to en-
ploy. We are assured that these
unfortunate aliens are RESPONSE
BILE for all the accidents" and
that'th companies employ every
KNOWN; device to prevent catas-
trophe.
Many of these aliens were en-
ployed in the coal mines of their
native countries before they came
to America and all the coal mines
in those countries are manned by
just such '..ignortnt Foreigners
as we find in the mines of Color
ado. Therefore comparison of
the death rate in Colorado mines
with the death rate in the foreign
countries should prove both in
teresting and instructive. Here
are the figures; as compiled by
Uncle Sam:
Coal miners killed per 1000 en-
ployed in 1911; Austria, 093;
Belgium, O.95; Great Britain, 10
France. 1.08; Germany, 1.97;
Japan, 2.23; United States, 3 90;
Colorado, 6.33.
l have selected 1911 because l
wanted to place Colorado in the
best possible light. l might
have used the figures of 1910,
when Colorado killed z0.36 out cf
every thousand as against Aus
tria O. SO per thousand.
In the light Of these figures.
isn't it amazing that during the
last ten years not single dam
age suit has Leen decided against
a coal mining company in Las
Animas or Huerfano counties.

Washington Letter,
BY Edward Heating,
Congressman-at-Large
From Colorado.

In all probability, before this
letter is printed the House OF
Representatives will have adopt
ed my resolution calling for the
appointment of a committee to
inquire into the Colorado coal
strike. In any event, action will
not be delayed beyond the Christ
s,sas holidays. Ihave asked to be
excused from service on the COM
mittee- position would be en-
Htled to under the practice of the
House. did this because l was
anxious to have the Committee
made up. of men free OF bias
either immediate or remote. l
could not have lived in Colorado
for more than thirty years with
cat having. formed pretty definite
opinions concerning the conduct
of the raen and interests that
dominate the coal mining indus
try of our state, and those opln-
ions would doubtless have influ-
enced my work as a member OF
the Committee. AS, it is, the
Committee will include some OF
the ablest and fairesu men in
Congress, they will approach
their task without prejudice, and
their findings will, command the
attention of the country.
WASHINGTON INTERESTED.
Official Washington is deeply
interested in the Colorado situa-
ton and genuinely anxious to see
our industrial difficulties amicably
adjusted. President Wilson has
On several occasions put aside
Mexico and the currency to our
troubles. 1t was at his sugges-
ton that Secretary of Labor,
Wilson visited Colorado, and he
was sincerely grieved when the
mine owners so cavalierly reject
ed the Secretary's good offices.
wouder how many people of
Colorado are familiar with the
details of the final proposition
submitted by Secretary Wilson
to the mine owners and the strik-
ing miners? In order that it
may be given the publicity which
l believe it deserves, lam going
to ask the editor of this paper to
print it in full, as follows:
Denver, Colo, Nov. 81, 1913.
"Messrs. J.>F. Welborn, John
C. Osgood. D. w. Brown, Or era
tors, and Messrs H. K: Evans,
Archie Alison, David Harmon.
Miners, Denver. Colorado.
I'm view of the failure of your
conference to reach an. agree
ment by which the pending strike
of coal miners can be adjusted, l
submit the following recommen-
dations with the hope that they
may be acceptable to you and this
disastrous strike brought to an
end: $50.
First, that the propositions Of
the coal operators as contained
in the memorandum Of Gov. An
mons, dated Nov. 27, be agreed
to by the miners.
Second, that the following
disputed questions be referred to
a board of arbitration:
(a) The question of an in
crease in wages.
(b) In lieu of the recognition
of the union, the question Of
devising a method by which fu-
ture grievances and disputes may
he adjusted without resorting to
