the early Saxons la Macs Abhal,'
or. roughly translated, THE Day Of
the Apple Fruit" From this 1t can
be safely seen that the apples which
are employed for diversion in these
modern celebrations are very appro-
pirate to the occasion. The nuts which
are found in every Halloween cele-
bration in these modern days have the
authority in bygone history for their
use. Centuries ago, when the spirta
of the dead were commonly believed
to wander about the earth for short
period of time and to have power to
foretell the future Of their relatives
still on earth, nuts were offered to
the wandering spirits to gain for the
donor long life and happiness To this
day the vigil Of All Hallows bears the
designation Of "crack nuts night" in
the north of England. The use of nuts
and apples at this season of the year

that even in this day Of practical
America the very games and pastimes
of the Halloween season or All

BID Cadillac Taken From Garage at
Rear Of Reeldence Last Night
or Early This
Morning.
NO TRACE OF 1T TODAY
Was Last Seen by Mr.. Sage at II
O'clock Last Night-$1OO
Reward is
Offered.

A 1914 model Cadillac automobile,
the largest car that has ever been
stolen in Keokuk, was taken from the
garage at the rear of William Nelson
Sage's residence at I'll Franklin
street last night or this morning, by
parties unknown, and today the police
have been unable to find a trace of
those who perpetrated Keokuk's latest
daring robbery.
A thorough search was Instituted
today and it was believed at first that
a party OF joy riders had taken the
car out for nights spin, but this
theory was soon dropped and it is be-
lieved that whoever took the automo
bile is now miles away from Keokuk
and still going.
1t is believed that the car was taken
from the garage about 2 o'clock this
morning. Prof. P. G. Hayden, who
lives at 802 Franklin street, half
block from the Sage residence. told
Mr.. Sage this morning that he was
positive he had heard an automobile
passing his house at that hour.
The garage door was broken and 1t
is evident that the car was pushed
out of the structure and turned down
the alley toward Eighth street. After
it reached this thoroughfare it's trail
was lost.
The automobile was not used last
evening by the Sage's, but when Mr..
Sage returned home about II o'clock
last night everything was safe.
Here is a short description Of the
stolen Cadillac. The number Of the
engine is A-403s. the license number
26O46; the cap on the rear right wheel
has been worn round. there Is a dent
in the left front fender near the bot
tom and a bend in the top bow on the
right side near the back. The car is
painted black.
Descriptions Of the car and an
nouncements Of the robbery were sent
out today by Marshal Kenney by tele-
graph to cities in the vicinity of Keo-
kuk.
There has been offered 800 reward
for information leading to the recov-
cry OF the Sage machine.

Mystiea, Rites Which Make This Sea-
son Attractive, Originated In
Early Times With the
Ancient Drutds-
GLIMPsEs OF FUTURE
Wlerd Ceremonies Which SO Delight
Young People Are Only Ex-
preston Of Primitive
People.

Halloween, the ever observed fes-
tival day and night, is but relic of
paganism, the mystical rites Of which
have an interesting origin. Halloween
or All Saints day as 1t is sometimes
called. had its origin in the dim, dark
past, when a belief in elves, witches.
pixies and other unseen powers and
forces were believed in and all the
powers of evil we're supposed to
strongly possess the hearts Of men,
and so the pranks and jokes played to-
day by the youth Of America are but
relic of the greater ceremonies car
ried out for this pagan festival.
Halloween and its mystic rites and
ceremonies were known long before
christianity came into the world. Cen.
turtles before the institution of All
Souls day, the inhabitants of ancient
Ireland Frustrated themselves before
Saman in prayer for the souls of rela-
tives who had gone before. Novem-
Der 1 was also sacred in the time of
the Druids and was set apart as the
great autumn festival of the Sum-;
when all gave thanks for the harvest.
1t was from the ceremonies Of this
thank sgiving time that early print
tive man gained his ideas peculiar to
the season. The Druids were firmly
possessed of a belief in the transmit
grafton of souls, and every year. &C
cording to their belief, great Saman
called together before him all those
souls that had been assigned to &C.
cupy bodies Of animals for their final
Judgment. Charms and music were
used to propitiate the great god In an
attemp pit to cause him to commute the
punishment, and living sacrifices were
made by relatives to the priests in Or
der that they would intercede in be-
half Of the lost ones. From this old
festival we gain an explanation of the
! house to house tour in some of the
thinly settled and remote districts of
Ireland to collect cakes, bread, eggs.
butter and cheese: the baking OF the
griddIe cakes and the leading Of the
! fatted calf and black sheep to the
slaughter to pay devotion to St. Col
umbkill. which is substitution by the
early christians for the feast of Sa-
man, on the vigil Of All Hallow's day.
| But long before the institution of All
Souls day the primitive Irish prayed
Saman to give rest to the souls OF
their departed relatives.
