THAT LUCKY RABBITS FOOT
Must Be Procured Only Under Certain
Circumstances if the Charm
Is to Have Power.

You have. undoubtedly heard about
wearing a rabbits foot for luck. Do
you know what is the significance Of
it, where it is to be carried, and why
.itis. lucky? Well, here it is:
"The rabbits foet is esteemed a
powerful talisman to bring good for.
tune to. the wearer and protect him
from all dangers" says an authority.
"'As this belief is more or less common
throughout the South It may be well
to state how the charm IS prepared,
for the, benefit Of those who wish to

wealth and prosBerIty.

taken at the midnight hour and the

be carried secretly in the pocket until
by chance the se#ner happens upon a
hollow stump in which water has col.
lected from recent rains. The. foot is
then dipped three times into. this wa

"Among the negroes and unedu-
Gated whites of the South the reputed

iIrjekind Fate,

SO that he may be released from :pur-
gatory after death, says Asia Maya
zine. Especially. cursed, therefore, is
he whose fate it is to be sonless. One
such, Brahmin,, propitiated the god
visliu and obtained a boon.' He asked
for a son, but, since q son was not IN
the mans fate, Vishu refused. Twice
this happened, but the, third time the
Brahmin asked that his merriments
might be shared by gods and men
alike. This was granted. He fhen
went home, locked his door and, with
his. wife, began to sing and da2ce.
Thereupon, all the gods and men, sba
the: terms of the boon, were compelled
to sing and dance with him, and Ihe
business Of the universe was brought
to a standstill. "Stop," begged the
gods. "Only when you grant me a
son. answered the Brahmin. And he
had his way.

CLARITY IN NIGHT THOUGHTS
scain Is Frequently at Best During the
Still, Quiet Hours of the Dark
ness.

Many writer's sleep with pencil and
notebook under their pillows and
lamp at hand, so that they may dash
off the thoughts that come to them
in the watches Of the night. There
is about these thoughts clarity that
does not come with daytime thinking
"a sureness of vision that approaches
the clairvoyant. Misfortunes never
loom so full or realistic as after mid
night; but Joy and pleasure lose some
thing of their glamor, their evidence;
doubt creeps in with them.
A problem which we have wrestled
in the daylight, weighing it with all
our intelligence, is settled in certain
way, calmly and judiciously and after
mature reflection. Our decision seems
Che right one. And then, suddenly, in
the dead Of the night, that seif-same
issue bobs up before our mental Vi
sion, wakes us from a sound sleep and
settles itself in quite another way, in
one great fash. A strong white light
has been turned upon the brain and:
has revealed there a conclusion Of
which we had no inkling before. The
processes of arriving at it are a closed
chapter. The clairyoyant brain has
registered a. result only. And again and
again It will be found to be the right,
tie expedient solution.
Memory, too, is peculiarly keen In
the .silences between midnight and four
in the morning. All the cobweps have
been swept from the brain by the first
hours Of sleep; the body and nerve
centers are singularly rested; there
are no noises to disturb and some sub
conscious power IS at work within us.

WOMAN BEGAN LONG DISPUTE
shakespeare-Bacon Controversy Had
Its Origin in Book Published by
American Author.

The long -drawn-out controversy over
the authorship Of the Shakespearean
plays had its origin in remarkable
book written by an American woman,
Della Bacon, a native Of Tallmadge,
O., with a preface written by her
friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. She was
a woman of intense application and
capacity for esoteric study and her
book was the product Of lifetime
spent in the feverish pursuit Of her
hobby. Her book was entitled 'The
Philosophy of the Plays Of Shake
speare Unfolded," copies of which are
now rare, as it has long been out Of
print.
The book is written in very labori'
GUS style, difficult to read. Some OF
the sentences are three to four hun
dred words long, but the entire work
shows evidences Of intense study Of
the works of the poet and mastery
knowledge Of the history of Shake
speare's period. -.
The intense obsession with which
she pursued her theories brought her
life. to a tragic end. Becoming con-
WINGED that Shakespeare's secret was
hidden in his tomb at stratford, she
went to reside there to confirm her re-
searches. She was. found one mid
night at the tomb, muttering incoher-.
emily, and evidently making prepara-.
tons to open the tomb in search OF
concealed manuscripts which she be-
lieved had been inferred with the body
Of the poet, beneath the cryptic III.
scription, "Good friend, for jesus
sake forbear to dig the bones inclosed
here" She was removed to an asylum.

Y Sg4g SeV Indian village
MS9SM and it was
9ssms here that
Father Marquette, after his hfst
discovery of the Illinois river,
established a Jesuit mission in
1875. Four years later La Sale,
the French, explorer, passed
through the Great Lakes, landed
at the Chicago river and pushed
on to the Illinois river, which he
named after the Indian tribes
living in that region. Here ne
built fort and sent his boat
back to Montreal for further sup
plies. When his vessel did not
return he started home on foot
and succeeded in finding his way
to Montreal through thousand
miles Of tangled wilderness. He
gathered together another expo
dition and returned to the fort,
which he dad left in charge OF
his companion Tonty. The fort
he found in ruins, but finally sue
ceeded in locating and rescuing
Tonty, who had been driven out
by the Iroquois Indians.
This riverway to the Mississip-
nj became one of the leading
avenues of communication be
tween the French in the North
and Louisiana. French settlers
soon located, here. and, estab.
lished the most friendly rela-
tons with the Indians. In fact,
though the Illinois country was
ceded by France to England in
1763, the sentiment of the Indi-
ans and French together was so
hostile that it was several years
before the territory could be oc-
cupied.
:. During the Revolution it was

Of the Ohio. which captured kas-

from this province. Various
states claimed rights to parts Of
this territory, hut these were
finally ~ceded to the federal goy-

formed into the Northwest Ter

territory east Of the Mississippi ,
to England and the northern part
of the present State of Alabama
was joined to the Illinois terri
tory. The southern portion was
known as West Florida. Serious
conflict with the Indians was
kept up for many years. In fact.

During the Revolution West
Florida remained loyal to Bng-

The meaning Of the name Sla-

. It was the name of an Indian
tribe which inhabited this. ter
ritory at the time Of De Soto's
first visit. After this tribe the
river was named and the state
was called Alabama after the
