the symbol of Astaroth, or Isis, and OF

the three gods. Hot buns, stabbed

days, the church itself the only theater
and the monks the actors. Throughout
the year they gave miracle plays suit
ed to the season, illustrating some
Bible story, and at Eastertide a reals
tic representation Of the resurrection
was performed.
1t was also the custom up to the
eighteenth century for the priest to tell
an Easter tale" from the pulpit, to en-
liven the people after the gloom OF
Lent. Here is an example: A black
smith and his wife who had offered
hospitality to a stranger found that
they had entertained an angel un.
awares. On leaving, he offered to grant
any request they might make. The
wife asked to be made sure of heaven,
w%hereupon the guest replied that she
had but to look into her mouth to be
certain Of that, since 1t was clear that
she could not go to the place where
there was weeping and crashing Of
teeth. The smith, more worldly mind
ed, asked: First, that whoever climbed
into his pear tree would not be able
to get down without his consent; sec.
ondly, that whoever sat down on his
anvil or got into his flue should be In
able to move without his permission;
and, thirdly, that he might never be
parted from his old green cap.
Twenty years later, Death came
knocking at the door. William the
Smith received him politely, and
begged him to climb into the pear tree
and wait, while he made ready to &C

to sit down on his anvil for a few mo
ments while he settled his affairs. He
did so, and once again found himself
at Williams mercy, who would not let
him go till he had been granted a
further lease Of life.
When this last term was up the
devil himself came for his victim. But

At the end of these, the smiths

him to the gate of heaven, but Peter
refused him admittance. He then
threw his green cap In over the wicket,

UNCLE SAM S SOLDIERS
BETTER FED THAN ANY
Chicago Packers Say They
Get Same Amount of Meat
As AT Home

Chicago, July 20.-Chicago packers
today furnished new proof that Uncle
Sam s soldier boys are not only the best
fed soldiers in the world on the firing
line, but also at home. When the Uni
ted States trooper marches away to do
military duty he gets just as much meat
to eat as he does at home-but no
more.
This was the answer packers gave to-
day when asked if any more meat was
being consumed and if the price was
any higher now than before the militia
mobilization.
/"Why should meat prices be any
higher; the American soldier gets Just
as much meat at home as he does in the
army. The demand is no greater just
because the government is buying meat
in large quantities. The American sol
dier or civilian demands his meat and
gets it, one Chicago packer said.
''This isn't true of the European
soldier. Most of them do not have meat
at home. 1t is an army luxury and CON
sequently when European powers mo-
bilized millions of men and began feed
ing them meat the price went up. Our
soldiers, the best fed in the world, is
getting his usual amount of meat-but
no more than that"
Wholesale beef prices have actually
decreased in the past month. In the
third week of June the wholesale price
of beef, the American soldiers princi-
pal diet, sold at $l2.76 hundredweight,
as compared with s12.45 now, decrease
of 81 cents a hundred pounds.
Troop concentration has had nothing
