WHY :?
wbv is the Devil Called ..old Nick"
Copyright, 1920, by
Wheeler Syndicate. Inc.

Why is the Devil Called "Old Nick
The word "Niek, 50 often applied TO
His Satanic Majesty, comes to us trom
the Anglo-Saxon Nicor. the water spirit,
a name which is found in similar form
in German, Swedish Danish and Iceland
ic. It's prevalence shows the extent to
which the worship OF the water deity was
formerly carried, seas, rivers and lakes
alike being worshipped by all Aryan
nations.
OF late wears the respect Tor the Devil
appears to have waned materially, but
formerly. and especially III ancient times,
the powers of evil were treated with q
great degree of reverence. Thus the Greek
Furies. the avenging deities, were named
Fumenides or the ''Well-Wishing Ones,
and in the Book of Jude in the Bible, we
read that "Michael the archangel, when
contending with the devil, he disputed
about the body of Moses burst not bring
against him a railing accusation, but said,
"The Lord rebuke thee" \ homely and
rather amusing instance of the desire to
stand well with the powers OF darkness Is
given in Conway's "Demonology,' where
the story is told of a Hampshire mother
who asked a friend if she made her chill
dren bow when they mentioned the Devils
name, adding solemnly Il do think
it's safer"

Often table linen is extremely attractive
Just when IL is ready to drop TO pieces.
For good linen if cared for with any sort
of attention becomes white ard falrer with
age. Often a table cloth that looks rs II 1t
were on its last trip from the linen closet
has a season Of usefulness before II.
The place where it usually gives Is
down the center fold. II is possible 10 re-
enforce this by placing piece under the
fold and then darring the worn cloth above
over the piece. The best material with
which to mend table cloths IS the threads
pulled from old table linen. BE sure that
the threads themselves are not worn or
ready TO break Ii is a good plan TO ravel
out the good piece of an old table cloth
so as to get nice threads for mending other
tablecloths worth saving.
After table cloth has been mended
in this way it is a good plan to have IT
washed with a very little starch-h you
are accustomed to having them come
from the laundry without starch. II
should then be ironed carefully, pressing
down. on the stitching so as TO make It
smooth and attractive. Sometimes 1t is
worth while to take a discarded table
cloth and cut the good part remaining INTO
small pieces worth hemming coarseiy and
taking to the seashore or country, and
turning into table napkins that will answer
several washings. Then too badly worn
table cloth can sometimes be cut into
little cloths that are nice TO have on hand
for picnics

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe:
Well Joe see by the papers that the
cost of living dropped 2 per cent last
month II it did Joe it must have happened
while | was at the movies or somewhere,
because | failed TO notice it. Still / didn't
like to let the idea 90 to waste entlrely,
so / called up the landlord and asked
If he'd heard about the sink IN the cost
Of living, and he said yes he had, and l
asked him If he was going TO act according
". and he said yes he was, because with
the cost of living starting to drop he
figured his tenants could afford 10 pay
him Is per cent more rent Believe me Joe
the only reason | didn't give him good
snappy answer was because I'd hung up
already when it occurred 10 me.
After that ! didn't have the heart to
mention the subject when ] went around
to Stutz's store TO do my marketing, but
found il wasn't really necessary, be-
cause all the prices were marked up and
Mr. Stutz told me he had read about the
cost of living ebbing a little and he felt
it was no more than his duty to get n
little good out of it himself. So if the
cost Of h',ing keeps on dropping at that
rate Joe It will drop us all into the poor
house.
The baby had birthday today Joe.
Or perhaps / really ought to say a half
birthday, because he's really only 6
monthsold so made half of a cake and
cut little candle in half and put it in
the middle and let the baby stick his hands
in the icing few times because ! couldn't
think of any other way for him TO enjoy
it, seeing that he's still too young to eat
cake on his own responsibility. Then later
in the day Hilma the Finnish maid ate
the majority of the cake and the baby
got hold of the candle and ate it, and they
both got sick, so | suppose after all 1T
proves there's a proper time for every
thing and half birthday is worse than
none Lovingly,
Tessie.

ttev are more beautiful than we are?
pFvcr1-one who sees us admlres us
and saws we are so beautiful they wish
we would ALWAYS stav on land, so we have
no one 70 fear as a rival, and the Fairy
Oueen better look after her children, It
she does not wish mortals TO think more
of us than the daisies.
The little fairies were shocked to hear
such things. for no one had ever dared
question their dainty beauty or That
every mortal did not love fairy better
than ANYTHING else and wished to haue
them always near.
So off ran the listeners TO tell their
Queen. and in few minutes the queen
was there TO hear for herself what the
Dragging Loon was saying.
"The very idea, she said, that any
Mortal would rather have the Loon near

have no fear. the Loon shall pay Tor this;
he shall have a crv that will make him so
disagreeable TO the mortal ear that none

I She touched their throats with her magic

was the breeze that touched their feathers,
when thev again spoke TO each other II

every one who hears II wish 70 pun thei'
! fiorers in their ear 5 to shut out the sound
And while the Loon is the largest
and handsomest of the diving birds, it
has to this day the voice given 1t by the
Fairy Queen long, long ago, and as no
one wants it near, the Loon Is a solitary
creature and shy, changing from place to
place and never letting mortals get near
It.
But the Loon is not stupid or crazy as
some have limited that he is. He Is clever
enough when away from hand where the
Fairy Queen does not wish him TO stay,
and it is only on land where they are
seldom seen that the Loon ever looks or
acts stupid.
