to himself with a chuckle that the

For Jimmy Rabbit was so swift a
runner that nobody who knew any

give him a start-much less propose
such thing.

Romance in Origin
OF Supersdhons
By H. 1. KING.
White Horses.

in New England they say Wish
on the first white horse you see after
the New Year and you will get your
WISH" or Say white horse seven
times every time you see one
and you will find something or
Count 100 white horses and you
will receive a present" But in Can
ada they say that if you watch a
span of white horses out OF sight
you will die within the year; and in
Michigan it is considered bad lack
for bridal couple to ride behind a
pair of white horses.
in the superstition with regard to
span of white horses we have an
echo of the NEUROLOGICAL legend Of
Hippolytus, who was killed when his
span of white horses ran away with
him upon the Troezen shore and
who, with Diana, was afterwards
worshipped at Nemi, where white
horses were sacrificed to him. Tic
fate of Hippolytus sufficiently cx-
planned the idea of bad luck attach
ing to span of white horses.
On the other hand the idea of
good luck attaching to white horse
arises from the fact that such an
animal was considered propitiatory
offering calculated to obtain the ia
-vor of the gods and as such they
were annually sacrificed i'll many
places in the heather world,
There is popular belief that
when YOU see white horse you
will soon see a rec, headed girl. In
some varients of this superstition a
red-haired person OF either Sex is in
dicated. Now the standard OF Hen
gist and Horsa, the Jutish chief who
invaded England in the. fifth cen-
tury, was a white horse. The Jutes
were German tribe and we have it
upon the authority of Tacitus that
tho Germans were red-haired, which
the ancient Britons were not. So
wherever you saw the White Horse
of Hengist and Horsa you would
see a red-head. The general form
of the superstition which specifies a
red-headed woman is, apparently, an
echo OF the names OF the Jutish
chieftains, Hengist and Horsa--
horse and mare-masculine and
feminine. Wherever you saw the
White Horse of Hengist you would
see the red head OF his brother.
IIorsa-the chief with the feminine
ramc.

Have July and August 81 Days Each


In the distribution OF the days
throughout the several months. Julius
Caesar adopted simpler and more
easily remembered arrangement than
that which has prevailed since his
time. He ordered that the first, third,
fifth. seventh, ninth and 1lth months
the 'odd number months" of jan
uary, March, May, July, September
and Novcmber-silould each have 81
days, while the ''cven number"
months were to have 80 each. with
the exception OF February, which in
common years should have % days,
but every fourth year, should have
80.
This arrangement, however, was
interrupted by the vanity of Angus
tus Caesar, who insisted that the
month named in his honor must
have as many days as July, named
in. honor OF Julius Caesar. Accord
ingly, a day was taken from Feh-
ruary and given to August, and in
order that three months OF 81 days
should. not fall together, September
and November were reduced to 50
days, and 81 given to October and
December.

Charles S. Barrett, president of

delegation before the commission.
Among members of congress who
accompanied the farmers and sup
ported their demand for freight
rate reduction were Representatives
Campbell OF Kansas, Clark Of Flor
ida, Verght of Wisconsin and Laza-
ro of Louisiana. The contention OF
some of the speakers that high
freight rates were chiefly responsible
for the slump in traffic was chal-
lenged by some OF the members OF
the commission and by Traffic Di-
rector ". Y. Hardie OF the commits
sion.
II have talked with about 50
freight traffic officials and not one
of them has that idea said Mr..
Hardic. "All admit that high freight
rates constitute a factor IN the situa-
ton. but not one has admitted a con-
viction of suspicion that they con-
stitute the factor responsible for the
reduction in the amount of business
the railroads are doing"
The demand that freight rates be
reduced Immediately brought forth
comment from Interstate Com
