That approximately 1000 yards were

Pardon For Cope
Girls Slayer

The pardon boarG granted a par
don to John A. Cope, formerly of
Buckingham Valley, Bucks county,
who on September %, 1914, shot and
killed his 18-year-old niece, Miss
Florence Cope, in the dining room
of her home.
At the time Of the shooting, Cope,
who was al years of age, was in
toxicated and was irritated by the
fact that his niece refused to shake
hands with him and told him to
get out of the house. Cope. who
had a shotgun in his hand, then
threatened to shoot her, it was al
legged at the time. Later, when the
girls mother attempted to keep him
out of the hall, Florence attempted
to take the gun from him and it
was discharged, tearing through the
girls intestines. Even then, it was
said, she chung to the gun and was
dragged Is feet before she dropped
Cope ran away and hid, but was
caught in Philadelphia two months
later, after one of the most sensa-
ticnal man hunts in Bucks county,
during which time several letters
were received from Cope protesting
that it was an accident.
Cope, who was sentenced to not
less than fourteen years, nor more
than 20, was taken to the peniten-
tiary June 9, 1915.

Che Uhu
Of
Superstitions
WINDING
By H. RIDING KING

TN SOME parts Of the country an In
! quisitIve girl, after getting ready
for bed, throws ball of string on the
floor and. winding the loose end round
and round her wrist says: Il wind,
wind. my true love to find" asking the
color of the unknowns hair and for
other details concerning him. In other
sections the girl goes out at night and
throws ball Of yarn into an empty
house. or into cellar, and. repeating
about the same Incarnation, winds the
loose end into ball In the first In
stance the maiden dreams OF her fu-
ture husband; In the second she
catches a glimpse Of him In the dark
house or cellar Some say that for a
surety OF success this mode of divIna-
ton should be practiced on Allhnllow-
cen and the ball Of yarn thrown into
barn.
In origin this superstition is akin to
the magic doctrine of obstructive
knots. We have already seen how all
obstructive knots can so tie up mans
physical and mental activities as to
prevent their functioning naturally.
But 1t WIS also believed by those of
olden times that knots, when construct
ed for that purpose, could bind man
and his affections to one DESTROYS OF
possessing him and them.
This is undoubtedly the origin Of the
common love knot" found even on
the collar OF the Most Noble Order of
the Garter" The obstruction Of knot
OF this kind is an obstruction to the
wandering OF the mans fancy-Queen
Dido and her sandal-knots. for in
stance, as cited by Serverus. The
winding of cord or thread was sup
posed to have much the same effect as
tying II in knot. Elworthy tells of
a charm found In house In Naples
which consisted OF a lemon stuck full
Of nails; around the nails long string
was wound many times. Many In
stances might be cited of the efficacy
OF winding among the ancients. The
maiden of today winding her ball Of
yarn finds therein the heart of her des-
tined husbands did her ancestors of

When Tom Sawyer pushed his
head and shoulders through a small
hole and saw the broad Mississippi
rolling by" as Mark Twain described
the emergence of his immortal Ameri-
can boy from the cave in which he
and his companion Becky had been
lost for three days,-Tom Sawyer
probably stuck his head through a
hole that is now on property upon
which is located the large plant of
The Atlas Portland Cement Company
at Hannibal, Missouri.
This town was made famous by the
doings of Tom Sawyer, Huckleberry
Finn and his associates, who were the
boyhood recolections of Mark Twain,
whose own youthful days were spent
in that city on the banks of the
Mississippi. The home Mark Twain
occupied is still there, modest white
clapboard house with a small bronze
plaque on its street side, stating that
the house was the boyhood home of
Mark Twain, and that the plaque had
been set there by his father Rising
just beyond it is Cardiff Hill, the loca
ton of many of the FRANKS of the
boys of Mark Twain's vigorous, virile
imagination. One can still plunge in
the "swimmin' hole" but the covered
bridge has been neglected and is
sorely in need of repairs.
More permanent and interesting
still is the cave which became the
haunt of the boys in their daredevil
pop,oo 90 pIa yiua, HIn,uptU and
banditry. The entrance is in the side
of hill before which is a picturesque
picnic ground, and 50 wide has been
the knowledge of these underground
passages through reading Of Mark
Twain's characters that the cave is
constantly mecca of visitors from
all over the United States. A guide
is always at hand and small fee is
charged for being conducted through
the caves 1t is worth while to hear
the guide tell of the incidents in the
lives of Mark Twain's "boys" which
took place in the windings of these
limestone passages.
No better description of them could
be had than in "The Adventures of
Tom Sawyer" itself A picnic had
been arranged and ferryboat hired
for the occasion. After luncheon,
somebody shouted: "Who's ready for
the cavef"
Everybody was,' writes Mark
Twain. Bundles of candles were pro
cured, and straightway there was a
general scamper up the hill. The
mouth of the cave was up the hillside

It's massive oaken door stood I'M

Rector: Rev. I. J. Bensley, ID. d.

A human being is a combination
of two qualities, material and spiri-
tual; or, as we more generally say:
man is made of body and soul. Did
you ever pause to think what a
wonderful thing your soul, your per-
sonality is? 1t is that which makes
you-you. 1t is unique, there is none
other exactly like it in the whole
world, there has never been one
exactly like it, and to the end of
time there will never be another
exactly like it. For you are you"
your material body may have a
double but your personality is
wholly your own, andthat personality
can never be destroyed nor would
you ever desire its destruction. 1t
was called into being by the First
Cause of all things, so that there
exists an unique and personal re-
lationship between us and Him, yet
how often we are unmindful of this
wonderful truth Awake to that
which is right and sin not, for
some have not the knowledge of

1t was said that one might wander days
and nights together through its intri

never find the end of the cave; and
that he might go down and down, and
still down, into the earth, and it was
just the same-labyrinth underneath
labyrinth, and no end to any of them.

impossible thing. Most Of the young
men knew a portion Of it, and it was
not customary to venture much be-
yond this known portion. Tom
Sawyer knew as much Of the cave as
any one" =.
1t is the presence of the limestone,
