Earliest Book Plates

1t probably was because books were
so few and precious in that early dawn
of bookmaling and printing and Illus
trating that the first book plates were
not as book plates are today. A king
or queen or lord or lady did not have
printed q mere tag, reading: This book
belongs to Beatrice Aragon." Instead,
Beatrice Of Aragon, for her book plate,
had her picture together with the pic

had much in their favor. You didn't
have to worry much about borrowed
volumes. You had no worries, either,
about sectional bookcases. Your one

ur-LeaUed Clover Has
Long Been Luck Symbol

That fOur-leaved clover will bring
luck to the one who finds 1t is an
ancient superstition, and there can
be no way of learning for certainty
how 1t started. Old writer's suggest
that its resemblance to the form Of
the cross Is the root of the notion.
The person who carries a leaf Of
the four-leafed cruciform clover about
with him." asserts one of these, twill
be successful at play, and he will
dream Of his beloved, or the maiden
may, by slipping leaf into her lovers

about to set out on journey, secure

It may be noted that the three
leaved clover also had some virtue, be-
cause 1t symbolized the Trinity, and
the tradition is that st. Patrick con
verted the whole Irish people to
Christianity by showing them,
through the trifoliate leaf Of the sham
rock, how the three persons In the

Legend and Mystery
About Neuado Lake

From the earliest settlement of
Nevada the legend Of gigantic SER
pent inhabiting the depths Of Pyra-
mid lake has been told. The serpent
is said to enter the lake through a
vast underground passage extending
from the Pacific ocean and is supposed
to have existed since prehistoric times.
Basking in the depths of the lake, il

YOURS Its victims. The legend has been
investigated by many scientists and
some contend that the serpent is really
an enormous mass of worms that
breed In the usually placid waters.
But this opinion is jeered by Indians
and the old white settlers who have
caught fleeing glimpses of the mann
moth snake.
Pyramid lake is an inland sea of
mystery. Situated 800 miles from the
ocean, Its Isles swarm with vast
fiocks Of seagulls and pelicans. The
lake receives the discharge of the
Iruckee river but has no outlet-yet
the waters are fresh and abound in
trout and other fish.
