Mother shipton and the havoc she

how a legend can grow, OF how a

and Of how a prediction can grip
people, even after it has been ex-

Whether Mother Shipton ever
lived, and there is room for doubt
on the point. she certainly made no
prediction that the world would come
to an end in 1881.
That bit of weird forecasting was
interpolated In a reproduction of her
life and works by one Charles Hind
ley, who confessed the fact.
He confessed the fact, moreover,
nine years before the tragedy was
slated to occur, but still vast num-

In addition to this, there was the

So sure were the residents OF
Yeovil that their village would be
exterminated at the appointed time
that hundreds Of them abandoned It,
while visitors gathered round from
all parts Of England to witness the
disaster.
Notwithstanding this positive
proof of her failure as seeress,

1881 rolled around it found thou
sands of English peasants ready for
immediate demolition OF the earth
and all things therein contained.
They sought churches. or went
forth into the fields, on the eve OF
the fatal day.
They assembled to the housetops,
they gave away their property and
composed themselves as best they
could, each according to his spirit.
And all this because Of a forged

little children and careless motorists
have been responsible for serious
accidents at school intersections.
Some effective method to safe

should be adopted. A child in

In some schools older pupils have

abused. They don't have to stretch
their imaginations FAR to think they
