Che Dhp Of Superstitions
By II. lRDING KING


Morse mythology and folklore is full
of good words regarding the spotted.
little, winged insect whose markings
are said to be those of the sun, in
which radiant orb, according to one
version, Freya had her home. From
the attributes assigned to Freya it
would appear that her worship was
compounded of sun-worship and Of the
worship of the provocative forces of
nature. At any rate she was boun-
teous in her bestowal of good gifts,
and so when one of her bright little
representatives ,alights upon any ar
ticle of clothing you are wearing, it
naturally indicates that the benefcent
goddess is going to make you pres
ent OF a new garment of the same de-

else" said Mr.. Fox, "you can scare
Jimmy Grow, and that, in my opinion,
is enough to make you king"
Mr.. Kingbird did not answer, for at
that moment he spied Jimmy Crow or
one Of his brothers or cousins coming
toward his home tree, and away darted
Mr.. Kingbird to show he was still on
the watch.
The next time Mr.. Fox saw Jimmy
Grow, he said: II saw you the other
day, Jimmy but you were in too much
of hurry to see me. You seemed to
be going in the same direction that
Mr.. Kingbird was going, only you were
ahead, Jimmy, Did you happen to see
him?"
Jimmy Grow cooked his head to one
side and gave loud call. Mr.. Fox
darted away under the bushes. Jimmy
Grow had given the warning that
means to all who hear it. There is
a fox about, look out!
Presently Jimmy stopped his cries.
"He is a sly one, he is" said Jimmy
to himself, always seeing things you
don't want him to. Now / wonder
where he was on that day when
started to call on the Kingbirds. Just
going to pay them little visit, was all
/ was going to do.
"Well, can send Mr.. Fox running
any time tell folks he is about"
Off flew Jimmy cawing as If he wasn't
afraid of a thing in the world; but
then he knew that Mr.. Kingbird was
not anywhere around just then.

AN Education in Peril
(Copyright.)


The original of my fiction character
of Judge Priest" was certain Judge
William Bishop, now deceased. He
was a wonderful old man-shrewdr
simple, kindly, witty, gentle, merciful.
and one of the most perfect inter-
prefers of human character that the
Border South ever produced.
One time. a good many years ago,
the old judge was acting as>chairman
of committee of three lawyers who
sat to examine gangling young man
from the country who sought IL
cense to practice at the local bar The
candidate had started out to be
blacksmith, but he had decided that
wearing a frock coat and making
speeches to juries would be easier
than bending mule shoes and shrink
ing wagon tires, and so he made ap-
arduous profession.
Judge Bishop opened the inquiry
with series Of questions designed to
test the ambitious youngsters gen.
eral and specific qualifications.
Henry, my son. he began in his
usual benignant fashion, II suppose
you have done a course of reading
with view to acquiring the rudi-
ments Of this calling of ours and
thereby fitting yourself for your new
career?''
"Well, jedge, / done some readin'
but not so very much" confessed
Henry. Il aims to do the most Of my

well, let's see just what reading
you have DONE" pursued Judge Bish-
OPP. II assume naturally that you have
read Blackstone?''

The candidate shook his head.
s"T amt never heard of him." he
confessed.
"Well, how about Coke?'
II don't know ez ever hearedGell
Of him, neither"
"Well, surely then you have studied
the Constitution of the United States
Of America and the constitution and
the Bill Of Rights of the state Of
nentucky?"
"To tell you, the truth, jedge, amt
got round to them yit," admitted the
aspiring blacksmith.
Henry" pressed Judge Bishop,
suppose you tell us just what books
what authorities-yo have studied
since you became seized with the de-
sire to become a member Of our barr"
Henry pondered moment. Then
his face frightened.
Il tell you, jedge," he said, II read
one big book called Revised Statutes
of the State Of Kintucky' mighty nigh

MY son." stated Judge Bishop,
''the trouble with you is that the next
legislature is liable to meet and re-
peal every d-n thing you know"

Two vogues combine TO make inter-

LADY-BUGs, NEW CLOTHES

IF A lady-bug lights on your hand It
= means a pair of new gloves, II on
your dress a new dress, If on your
shoes new pair Of shoes, etc. This,
according to the journal of the Amer
lean Folklore Society, is common
superstition In Massachusetts and Up
per Canada. The genesis of it is easy
to discover The lady-bug was the
especial pet and representative of the
Morse Goddess Freya, the goddess of
fruitfulness and the dispenser of good
gifts.
To this day the Scandinavian and
North German farmers look for good
crops when they see the lady-bugs I'M

Fur Is Effective

Fur is losing none of its popularity
as trimming medium simply because.
warm weather is near. 1t is too eff
fective to be identified with winter
only, and besides, most climates have
evenings cool enough to make the COM
fort Of a warm fur collar quite well
come. However, where fur is not used,
there are substitutes in the form of
ostrich feathers, eiderdown and clipped
fringes. A scarf collar of the wrap
material is sometimes the only trim
ming touch.

duty during the fiscal year was the
consideration of these requests, -
