BELIEFS ABOUT BIRDS

1t Is lucky to see crow sitting On
one leg.
Rocks building In a house is a sign
of prosperity.
When crows forsake a flock It Is q
sign Of famine.
To see a crow flying alone is sign
Of disappointment
It Is bad luck to drive dove or
pigeon out of the house.
Pigeons flying in a ring over body
Of water give a sign of rain.
There is a widespread belief In the
ominous croaking Of the crow.
II the first crow you see In the
spring is flying, you will soon take a
Journey.
II rocks desert a rookery, It Is
sign of the downfall OF the family
to whom 1t belongs.
When you see crows flying and
crying In the early fall, prepare for
winter, for 1t is a sign Of cold wealth
er.
When pigeons stand In perfect row
on the ridge pole Of house 1t Is a
sign Of receiving a present within q
week.
When the doves around the dovecote
make a more than ordinary cooling
and pass necessarily in and out OF
their cotes, 1t is a sure sign that there
Is to be a change Of weather.

Diunly Grunty could see a dark.
burlu form
big enough even for Miss Kitty Cat
to creep through.
Though Grunty had called a good
many times, nobody had answered
him. Inside the piggery, in their
pen, Mrs. Pig and her other children
were ss-ad asleep. Now and then
Grunty could hear a throaty snore,
which he knew to be his mothers.
"How can she. sleep, when I'm
missing?' he cried.
Now Mrs. Pig had been much up
set by Grunty's absence, and when
Farmer Green came to put her fam
i.y into the Piggery for the night
she had tried to explain to him that
Grunty had run away. Unfortunately
it happened that Farmer Green was
in a great hurry. He didn't stop to
find out what was troubling Mrs.
Pig, but hustled her and her chill
dren inside and closed all the doors.
Try as she would, Mrs. Pig had
not been able to stay awake. Her
eyes would close in spite of all she
could do. Though she slept, she
dreamed about the truant Grunty.
Now and then she cried aloud in
s6a darkness, when some trouble
come creature seemed to be chasing
him. But Mrs. Pig never quite
walked up.
Once Grunty thought he heard
his mother speak his name. And
he called out in as brave a voice
as he could muster. Here I am. just
outside the piggery. Won't some
body please let me in?"
He called in vain. At last he fell
asleep. for he was about as tired
as any little pig could be. -
In the middle of the night Grunty
awoke with 4 start. Somebody said
"Woof!' And somebody came sniff
ing and snuffling around the cor
;ler OF the piggery. Dimly Grunty
could see a dark, burly form. And
he was so frightened that he bawled
right out. "Its a bear! It's a bear!
It's bear"

prowler-whoever he was-vanished
into the night.
Keep still" Grunty's mother
called to him: for the noise had half
reused her. Don't you mention the
word bear again, or I'll attend to
you in the morning
Drowsy as she was, Mrs. Pig ac-
tually thought Grunty was right
there in the pen with the rest OF her
children. And in no time at all she
was snoring again
Grunty Pig didn't dare open his
mouth nor close his eyes the rest
of the night. And when morning
came, Farmer Green found him hud-
died against the door CT the piggery.
1t was joyful meeting-for
Grunty Pig.

Symbols for Today
Bv MILDRED MARSHALL.

Today's stones are the emerald
and the agate: the former is the
days talismanic stone; the latter
the fortunate stone for those whose
birthday this is.
To benefit by the emeralds pow
ers, one should wear it in ring on
the left hand. The ancients believed
that it brought to its wearer the
power to achieve success through
seeing far into the future. The
agate, according to Cardano, has the
power to bring great riches to those
whose birthstone it is, through its
ability to make them cautious and
temperate in all things.
The orientals believed that brown
would endow those who wore it at
this time with good judgment and
common sense. -
Today's flower is the lily-oi-thc-
valley, symbolic OF unconscious

Romance in Origin
OF Superstidons
BY H. IRVING KING.
The Empty Rocking Chair.

In many sections OF the country
it is believed by the superstitions
that when an apparently empty
rocking chair is seen to sway back
and forth without any visible cause
in that chair is seated the spirit of
some deceased member of the family
come back to choose the one of his
kin who shall next join him in the
realm of shades. In the spiritism OF
primitive man the spirit was con-
ceived of as retaining in the disem-
bodied state the same habits. needs
and desires which it possessed while
animating the flesh. And thus it was
to large extent, down trough the
classic ages and thus it is among
many savage tribes today. Soldiers
were slaughtered upon the tunnulus
of warrior, slaves sacrificed upon
the grave Of their master and the
East Indian widow burned herself
upon her lords funeral pyre in or
der that the spirit of the deceased
might not be unattended and uncom-
panioned in its new state by familiar
ghosts. This ancient idea that the
spirits of the mortally dead seek
companionship is the basis OF many
funeral and death superstitions today
of which the empty rocking chair
superstition is one. There is some
thing very naive about this super
stition. The disembodied spirit.
longing for the companionship of
one OF its kin after the manner OF
the flesh, comes not in watches of
the night and if form Of terror,
but makes itself at home, seats it
self in the old familiar rocking chair
and chooses with calmness and delib-
Grafton the one of the family who
shall join him on the Stygian shore.

Common Sense
BY J. J. MUNDY.
Thought and Pep.


You may be full of pep. but if
your efforts are not directed by
thought, and if you do not make
plans in advance of what you intend
to do, the pep" upon which you
pride yourself does not amount to
much.
Often the ''peppy" person is no,
far thinking. hence fails to accom-
plish as much as the person who
works less and uses more head
work.
So much has been said in the pas,
few years about pep, and so many
persons are gagged by the pep they
display. that pretty nearly everyone
who tries to make a good impression
desires to be classed as 'peppy."
1t is so much easier to do things
physically rather than mentally and
muscular strength and energy are
often the test OF the worth of a per-
son at first sight, condition which
has arisen where pep has been
sought, and which puts thought i'll
the discard.
Some persons find it impossible
to move quickly and accomplish,
much.
Such persons should not be dis
ccuraged. Thoughtful. well-directed
though slow movements are more
valuable than the poppy accomplish
ment of the one who thinks not at
all.
There is place at the top today
for the one who can and does think
right.
