Sammy Meisenberg came home to-
day. Ten thousand persons gathered
at the LaSaIle. street station to do
him honor, and all Chicago paid trib-
ute to the little marine who lost his
life in the American occupation of
Vera Cruz.
The, body arrived in a special car Of
a Lake Shore train at 11:45 O'Clock.
The coffin was draped with the Amer
lean flag and buried beneath a mound
of flowers. To this floral display
Judge Thomas ScuIy of the NUM-
cipal court added a wreath six feet
in diameter, the gift of the city.
Springing to the top of a baggage
truck, Judge Scully cried, "Salutew
Every man of the thousands who
crowded the station barred his head.
A squad of marines fired a volley.
The coffin was placed on truck
and wheeled the length of the long
platform between rows of city and
county officials, personal representa-
tives of Gov. Dunno and Mayor Har-
rison, and members of Jewish So
cieties and of military organizations.
1t was then escorted to the City Hall,

and made short address. AS the

the captain of marines and followed
the hearse to the City Hall. Nielsen

walked behind the mayor.
About 10000 persons followed the
procession and an even larger crowd
was massed about the City Hall
block. A score Of mounted police
were required to force way for the
hearse.

of the sheets, however, had slipped
unnoticed over the edge of the desk
and had fallen among vast litter on
the floor beside it.
Danny had precipitated the over
flow of the waste paper basket only
few seconds previously. He had
stumbled over it in the exercise of
that extraordinary ability of his to de-
serve the common nickname Of
''Blunderhead." Danny was simply
chemically irremediably clumsy.
When he raised a window he general
ly smashed it. When he moved a
chair he usually tipped it over. When
he ran to attend to some urgent Of
fee call he stumbled over a rug or
the inoleum.
"Drat that bookkeeper" muttered
Danny with a daggers look at crusty
old Collins. Gas to Sweetie- that's
what call her and that's pust what
she is-if l ever amount to anything
it will be her kind ways to me that did
it. She's pretty as a picture and good
as gold. Yes, and I'll bet the boss
knows itp' chuckled Danny wisely.
If "the boss" young Alden Ran
som, knew it, however, he had spoken
no word to convey the impression to
his stenographer. It was true that
many times, even as just now, when
Nellie sat in his private Office taking
dictation, it had been a relief from
business cares and a positive pleasure
to look at the delicate expressive face
of the young girl and appreciate her
buoyant accommodating ways and
quick intelligence. If there was the
dawning of love in the companion
ship, however, it was on the part of
Nellie herself. In fact, she had just
written the fact to her sister. And
because she felt a growing fondness
for her kindly indulgent employer she
had decided to sever a tie that it
might be difficult to break, later on,
by leaving the pleasant employ of

WHEN TIE WITCHES GATHER
"Walpurgls Night" Time-Honored In
stitutIon OF German Popular
Tradition.

As we come near TO the FIRST day OF
May our neighbors OF German blood
and German legend begin in mysteri-
GUS way to talk about Walpurgis
nacht. which they kindly translate to
us as "Walpurgis night the 30th Of
April, the eve before May /. the day
of 81. Walpurgis, or Walpurga, or
Walburgia-for this saint had a trim
ity Of names-and go no further. Now,
on the night before the lst of May,
according TO German popular tradi-
ton. there is something doing in the

night witches ale said TO ride on

that is he-goats, to some appointed
rendezvous, especially to the Brocken
in the Hartz mountains, where they
hold high festival with their SOW
ereign lord, the devil, as master Of
ceremonies. "Walpurgis Night" is
chiefly known as a musical compost
tion by Mendelssohn, with words by
Goethe.
- =
But who was Walpurgis? She was
an English missionary to Germany
for there was cnce a time when Eng
lish missionaries we're encouraged In
Germany-and she was born at the
beginning Of the eighth century. Two
of her brothers, willibald and Wunni-
bald, we're both in Germany, the first
as bishop In Bavaria. and the sec
ond as an abbot. And what fam
lily It was for the letter w! Wal
purgis was made abbess OF Benedic-
tine nunnery at Heidenheim.
At death her relics were translated
TO Eichstatt where they were laid in
hollow rock, and from these bones,
80 goes the story, exuded a kind Of BIZ
luminous oil, called Walpurgis oil, and
regarded as Of miraculous efficacy
against disease This oil is said stiil
to exude from these bones, especially
from October to February. Walpur'
gis is-or was-regarded as the pro
tectress against magical arts, and for
this reason her services were In spe-
cial demand on Walpurgis night
