Superstitions
BIZ H. IRDING KIN 6
YOUR ENEMYs PICTURE

D ESEARCHES of the American
IN Folklore society show that COM
paratively recently there have been
cases where a person sought to injure
his enemy by drawing that enemy's
picture on a board and shooting at it
with rifle or pistol. 1t was believed
that the one sought to be injured
would feel great pain in that part of
his person represented by the part Of
the picture pierced by the bullet and
that no one but the person who did
the shooting could give him relief.
Kindred superstitions are now and
then met with in various sections of
this country and in rural England
they are most common.
Again we have merely a survival of
sympathetic magic handed down from
primitive man. Injure the mans pic
ture and you injure the man. This
sort of vicarious vengeance was prac-
ticed by all the ancients. Amid
the ruins of Thebes was found a
small clay figure of man tied to a
papyrus scroll evidently to compass
the destruction of the person de-
nounced in the script" Just what
process the clay figure had been sub
1ected to in order to sympathetically

canoe; your lucky day and lucky jewel

Artists have immortalized Ruth, the
cleaner, standing in the fields, superb
in her full-blown Hebrew beauty with
the sheaves of grain clasped to her
breast.
It was Ruth who voiced that ex-
quisite promise which is synonymous
with devotion in the worlds famous
utterances:
"Whither thou goest, I will go; and
where thou lodgest, will lodge; thy
people shall be my people; and thy
God my Cod"
According to the Biblical story,
Ruth became the wife of Boar
No nickname has ever been evolved
for Ruth. The name preserved its
dignity and pathetic sweetness
throughout its history. It has been
adopted, in a popular sense, only by
the English language. In accordance
with its significance, the pearl has
been assigned Ruth as her talismanic
stone Though the pearl, in this in
stance, probably means tears, it will
undoubtedly produce the opposite eff
feet upon the wearer, just as the opal
ceases to be unlucky for those whose
birth month is October. Pearls, worn
by Ruth, will counterfeit her heritage
to sorrow.
Thomas Hood expresses the poets
ideal of Ruth:
She stands breast high among the corn.
Clasped by the golden light of morn,
Like the sweetheart of the sun
Who many a glowing kiss has won.

Mr.. Possum had come out of the
pantry to the kitchen and was look
ing on the table hoping Mr.. Fox had
left something there. But it, too, was
bare, like the pantry, and here he was
caught and no food to pay for the
risk.
He did not have long to think what
to do and the chimney seemed to be
the quickest way Of escape, for he
would have to pass the door which Mr..
Fox was at that second opening to
reach the pantry.
Up the chimney went Mr.. Possum
and bump went his head, for Mr.. Fox
had nailed board over his chimney
to keep out the snow, and robbers as
well, for it was very easy to get down
when he did not have fire.
Poor Mr.. Possuml He almost lost
his hold and tumbled when his head
struck the board. He would have If
he had not been such ain expert

A piece Of rough stone sticking out
was all that saved him, and here he

Mr.. Fox shutting into the room below.
Mr.. Fox was dragging bag, for he
had been very lucky that evening. If
it had not been for the bag scraping
along the floor he would have heard
Mr.. Possum in the chimney. AS it
was, he did see the SCOT which Mr..
Possum knocked loose in his efforts to
save himself.
Mr.. Fox pushed aside the SCOT and
laid sticks and bark for his fire. Then
he swung the long iron arm out from
the chimney side and hung on the pot
of water. Mr.. Possum trembled
harder.
Mr. Fox then lighted a match. Mr..
Possum saw him light the bark and
twigs, and shook. Up came the smoke
in his face and eyes and then down it
went and came out in Mr.. Fox's face
and eyes. J,
Mr.. Possum choked and coughed but
Mr.. Fox did not hear him, for at that
second he remembered the board over
the chimney top and he opened the
door and ran out to get ladder.
There was no time 10 do thinking
now. The smoke was too thick and
down dropped Mr.. Possum among the
ashes and SCOT and smoke.
Mr. Possum never expected to reach
his home, for he Was sure Mr.. Fox

affect the man it represented does not
appear. The superstition has come
down unaltered through the ages and
is much more common today than
most people have any idea of. If the
stories of Catherine de Medici are
true one of her favorite modes of
"getting square" with her enemies
was to have waxen figures made of
them and set the figures to melt be-
fore fire, or for a quicker result
pierce the heart of the figure with a
pin This superstition, as Frazer puts
it, is that "the man feels the injury
done to his image as if it were done
to his own body" and Eiworthy adds:
''The idea is as old as the hills and
is practiced today" The reason we
do not hear more about this particular
superstition is because those who
practice it naturally do SO in secret
and do not talk about it.

MAR SHALL
RUTH

nNE of the loveliest names in the
~ feminine category is Ruth. 1t
comes to us Nshrouded in mystery and
bearing the tragic sweetness of Bibli-
cal story. The origin of the name has
never been satisfactorily determined
Some say that it comes from a Hebrew
word meaning trembling others that
its origin lies in a word from the
same language meaning s'joined to-
gether," but all agree that it must
have some connection with the word
"reuth" signifying beauty.
AS an English common noun, Ruth
has come to mean sorrow, pity, COM
passion. That it receives this in
depreciation from the story of the gen
tie and faithful Ruth of Biblical his
tory, is open to belief. Certainly the
most famous Ruth of the ages was the
lovely daughter-in-law of Naomi, who
followed her into her own far coun-
try and cleaned the grain from the
fields that they two might be fed.

MIR. POssUM,s ESCAPE

ONE night Mr.. Possun was going
- through the woods trying to make
up his mind whether he would go over
to farm he knew of some distance
away or stay In the woods and hunt
for something to eat nearer home.
While he was trying to decide this
question he came to Mr.. Fox's home,
and as there was no light to be seen
under the door or at the window Mr..
Possum decided that Mr.. Fox was not
at home and that possibly he might
find something to eat without going
farther.
He tiptoed around to the back Of
the house to the pantry window and
carefully raised it and slipped inside.
No, Mr.. Fox was not at home, so
Mr.. Postum began to look along the

But they were pretty bare; only a
few bones and piece of dry bread
did he find.
He had about made up his mind
to jump out of the window and go

that made him stand very still and
