SUGGESTIONS

THE THRESHOLD

TN much talked-about recent novel
= the doctor of Gopher Prairie says to
his bride, There / meant to have
you lifted over the threshold" Which
shows that the old custom Of lifting
brides over the threshold when they
first enter their new home still fingers
among us, as it is, also, feature OF
rural weddings in England and Scot
land The mixing up in the maids
of our remote ancestors of spiritual
and material things caused the TIRES
hold to be regarded in peculiarly
mystic manner.
AS its name implies, it prevented the
grain, the body of the cOrn-Spirit, from
sliding out when the chaff flew away
at the threshing time. 1t was that
part of the entrance to the house
over which all must pass that en-
tered it. Consequently there was
constant struggle to facilitate the
entrance of good influences and keep
out the spirits of evil by "dOctoring"
the threshold. Cauls were buried I'M
der their neighbours thresholds, per-
sonal relics calculated to facilitate the
entrance of malign influences. large
nail was driven into the threshold to
keep deatL from entering.
On Walpurgis night the Gerraan
peasant still lays flowers and branches
upon his threshold to keep out the
witches; and chips from threshold
used to be thought valuable lngredi-
ent in making smoke for the fum1ga-
ton Of cattle So rs no one knows
what witches or evil spirits may have
done to the threshold it is better that
a bride, al the critical moment OF her
entrance to her new home, should be
lifted over 1t to avoid contagion from
the malign influences from touching
the possibIy-infected door-sill.

nificance; your lucky day, lucky jewel
FAITH

EROM a Biblical source comes the
- charming Faith, which sprang into
popular usage during the vogue of
Puritanical names. The prevalence of
appellatives which denoted abstract
virtues marked the beginning of Puri-
tanism in England, and many such
names came under the ban from other
classes because of the widespread dis
like of the Round Heads.
But the simple beauty of Faith, as
we'll as the divine virtue for which
the name was symbol, kept her pop
ularity undimmed. For was she not
one of the trio whom st. Paul COM
mends to the Corinthians, saying:
Sand now abideth faith, hope, char
lty, these three; put the greatest Of
these is charity"
The Puritans brought Faith to New
England when they migrated from

happened to see a bed of nice mush-
rooms; and knowing that Mr.. Turtle
liked mushrooms, Mr.. Fox had an
idea.
He turned right about and ran back
to the woods. but he did not stop at
his own home. Oh, no; he kept right
on until he reached the home Of Mr..
Turtle.
Mr.. Fox said "Mr. Turtle, | saw a
bed of fine mushrooms over the hill
thought you might like to know, as
you ere fond of them"
Mr. Turtle thanked him and said he
would 90 right over and lcok at them.
Mr. Turtle had stayed late in the
mushroom bed, and when he started
for home he knew he would never be
able to reach there in time for his
lecture unless some one gave MIN a
lift and when he saw Mr.. Fox trot-
ting alon. he remembered his anceS-
tor who had won that famous race
hundreds of years before from Mr..
Hare.
Mr. r'ox ran over to the farm, got
his supper and was running back at a
pretty fast rate of speed; so he did not
know when Mr. Turtle reached out
his hand an6 grasped the tip of his
tail and held fast to it.
Mr.. Fox was thinking of getting
home, and how Mr.. Turtle must be
waddling along somewhere far from
home, for he was very certain he went
to the mushroom bed. So he was not
as cal eful as he usually was to look
where he was going
Over stone wall leaped Mr.. Fox,
and the next thing he knew he was
deep in a pond of-mostly mud.
A mud bath to Mr.. Turtle was fun,
and if lie had not been in hurry to
reach home he would have liked moth
ing better than to stay there; but he
crawled out and left Mr.. Fox waIlow-
ing about In the mud.
Before Mr. Fox had come along Mr..
Turtle had had time to think, and It
had entered his wise old head that

Those who first saw the sign ran
to tell others and pretty soon crowd
had gathered around the door of Mr..
Fox, which made his eye; twinkle, for
the larger the crowd the more he
would get in fees.
Old Mr.. Turtle was stretching his
neck, but he could not see well enough
to read, so he asked Mr. Rabbit, who
was nearest to him, to read what was
printed on the sign.
The next day the voolfolk saw on
Mr.. Turtles door this sign: "Mr.

has been gathering wisdom, will lee

Mr.. Fox knew that his rival would

United States Supreme Court at
Washington on appeal from Judge
Evans decision. Last week Mr. Cot
ter fled a motion to dismiss and he
will be called to Washington shortly
to argue the case.
Another very important extradition
case recently won by Mr.. Cotter was
the celebrated case Of the United
States versus Harry E. Thompson, ct
al. Six men were indicted in Indian
apolis, Indiana, for a conspiracy to
steal merchandise from interstate
shipments of freight shipped over the
New York Central, the Santa Fe and
the Baltimore and Ohio railroads.
The shipper in this case was B. Kup-
penheimer & Company, one Of the
largest mems clothiers in the world.
Three Of these defendants live in Chi
cago, and the district attorney started
proceedings for their removal to Ind
annapolis. After bitter battle lasting
FIVE days in which some Of the most
prominent lawyers in Chicago de-
Tended the three, Mr.. Cotter won his
case and the court ordered these de-
PENDANTS removed to indianapolis for
trial.
Attorney Cotter has been assigned
to represent in numerous cases the
Attorney General of the United States,
the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, the United States Shipping
Board, the Secretary Of War, the
post Office department, the Collector
Of Internal Revenue, and the Col
lector Of Customs. The appointment
Of Mr.. Cotter was the result of inter
est taken by Congressman Martin B.
Madden, Of the First Congressional
District Of Illinois. He has lived in
Chicago for p years, owns real estate
and belongs to many organizations.
He has never refused to lend help

Assistant United States District At
torney James G. Cotter continues to
make good as a prosecutor for Uncle
Sam in the Federal Building.
Within the last few months the
daily papers have published reports
Of cases successfully handled BY him
in the Federal Building from time to
time Among the most notable cases
handled by Mr.. Cotter are the Leo
Koretz case, where the government
claimed S753,OO0, as income taxes,
but was later withdrawn upon dis
covery that Koretz's income was de-
rived from the money alleged to be
embezzled Mr.. Cotter states that
the government, however, has lis eye
on other funds in the estate against
which tax may be collected.
All criminal extradition, habeas
corpus and removal cases are assigned
to Mr.. Cotter for prosecution. Among
the most notable Of these cases is the
United States versus National Nal
leable Iron and Steel Castings Com
pany, where 49 big iron and steel cor
porations and 81 individuals were in
dicted at Cleveland, Ohio, charged with
violating the Sherman Antitrust Act.
Four Of these individuals and corpor-
ations reside in the Northern District
Of Illinois The indictment charges
that they entered into a combination
in restraint Of trade, in order to con-
troll the prices Of iron and steel.
Mr.. Cotter started extradition pro
ceedings before the United States
Commissioner. After legal battle
lasting ten days, the Commissioner
ruled against the government and dis
charged defendants. Attorney Cotter
then took the case to a higher court
and Judge Evans held with the gov
eminent and overruled the Commits
