ORIGIN Of MAN IN. 7ssEI MOON

There is q quaint tradition about
how the belief in the moon originate
ed. Like many Of these beliefs, it
began in Bible times. BY many ma
tions the old man is, supposed to be
the one who first made his appear
ance in the book of Numbers (15:32).
1t is there stated that he was found
by the children of Israel gathering
sticks on the Sabbath day. He was
taken before Moses and condemned
and was stoned until he died. One
would have thought that that was
punishment enought even for so aw-
full a crime, but superstition took
him in hand and consigned him to
the moon, wher, with a bunch of
sticks on his tired old back, he was
destined to climb forever up the
shining hill and never reach the top.
The story goes that his faithful dogs
were permitted to share his fate and,
if you look carefully when the night
is clear, you will see them toiling up
on their endless chain.-Ex.
