CLOCK GAVE DEATH WARNING
Peculiar Circumstance Reported From
New York, and Another From
Liverpool, England

The family clock seems to become
such an intimate part of the house
hold that superstitious stories regard
ing It's movements-especially In times
of death or peril to the owner, find
ready credence. Among the strange
tales is n Of a clock that gave warn
ing Of the death Of its owner. In a
certain merchants house In New York
there stood a clock that had been 60
ing steadily for many years. One day
1t stopped at twelve o'clock. AT
twelve O'Clock precisely the merchant
died In the hospital and at the same
moment his mother also died of grief.
There vas apparently nothing wrong
with the clock and no reason for It's
stopping. Another somewhat similar
case occurred in Liverpool. A mar
who vas a builder by trade, kept a
small clock on his mantelpiece. At a
quarter past eleven one morning the
clock suddenly fell to the floor. When
picked up 1t was still going and had
apparently received no injury. When
the builder came home q little later
he told his family that at a quarter
past eleven that morning he had fallen
from the top Of a building, but had
escaped without hurt.

GOAT BELOVED BY CHILDREN
Writer Endeavors to Explain Rea-
sons for Animals Popularity,
and May Have Hit Il

What Is there about the goat that
fascinates children? The animal il
not particularly intelligent. performs
no tricks. admits Of no close compan
ionship and yet neither dog nor cat
nor monkey, O donkey, nor feathered
fowl nor filmed fish can compete with
1t for popularity among the very
young.
The goat gives milk, but this Is
scarcely a consideration to the juve-
nile mind; and, besides the billygoat
Is VIGOROUSLY preferred to the nanny
goat.
The answer appears to Turk In the
whiskers. Whiskers are potent &C
couterments. Many a sage would new
er have been known IS such had he
been clean shaven.
The goat Is indlsputably q Of the
funniest looking animals this earth
supports. No one can look a goat In
the eyes and refrain from revibrant
ordinations. Those eyes are so ser1-
ous-so cynical-they blend profound
wisdom with profound ignorance, and
the mixture is utterly ridiculous. You
never know whether a goat Is laugh
ing at you or gaping in bewildered
awe.
Perhaps this mystery is part Of the
~enchantment the goat exercises over
children But the whiskerS appear to
be the better explanation.

ORIGIN Of Navajo Blankets.

The origin Of the famous Navajo
blanket Is picturesque. At the time Of

took many of the latter prisoners.
From these 1.-THE Pueblos had long
been weavers Of native c%otton) they
picked up the textile art; and then
stealing sheep from the Spaniards,

largely as an artistic recreation, Just
as the women Of civilization do en-

pages of history to the Middle ages.
What "A festival Easter was in those
daysl The old pagan Anglo o-Saxon
festival of Easter was not merely re-
membrance and its strange mummery

hearted and colorful and vibrant. Even
those who had to wear the long faces
during the rest of the year forgot their
seriousness 10 play and dance and per-
form strange tricks upon one another
in the streets.
The priests, along with the laymen,
imbibed the spirit of Easter and
laughed and played with the care-free
spirit of schoolboys. Instead of preach
ing serious sermons or eXhOrting the
people to consider the wickedness of
their ways, they told humorous stories
of how the devil tried to keep the
Spirit of Christ from ascending out of
hell into Heaven. Their stories We're
very droll and mhde the people laugh
exceedingly. Imagine minister these
days getting up before his congregation
and telling funny stories Easter morn

The people were very happy and
greeted one another cheerfully upon
the streets. Christ is risen" they
would say. Yea, Christ is truly riseh,"
would come the answer. Then the

the people rushed and thronged
through the streets to see 1t Often
times the candles were huge affairs,
rising us high as 75 feet In the air and
weighing as much as rs pounds. What
was left OF the candle at Whitsunday
was made into candles for the poor.
The interiors Of the churches we're
truly marvellous. Thousands of candles
burned in every niche, flooding the
place with u marvellous brilliance. Daz-
zllng colo-s were everywhere. ."Christ
Is risen. Let US be joyous" was the
thought that was In the minds of every
one. Then, after the impressive chant
