Queer Jungle Gale
of DaItomey NafiUss

When the barefooted black men
travel In their own country they move
as silently as specters. II they are
not talking, or singing, or shrilly call
Ing to each other one does not hear
them approach unless 1t be by the low
rustic of their bodies against the
leaves
On such occasions, q file of them
winding through the bushes suggests
party of shades bound on some
Stygian expedition
"O-Kou! O-Kou, O-Kou!''
That is the jungle greeting of the
DahOmey black man. As soon as two
travellers catch sight of each other In
the distance they begin to shout this
CALL AS they approach they lower
their voices until the "O-Kou!" sinks
to mere murmur as they pass; then
it rises again louder and louder as
they separate until lost in the dis
lance.
"O-Kou! O-Kou! O-Koui !"
A greeting filed with fear. Doubt
less 1t means something like this: 81

you are l'-Henri de Kerillis In

Believed Black Cats
Inhabited bv Satan

There is no good luck" portenr
more generally believed in than that
connected with black cats. If one en-
tiers the house it must not be driven
away. If we meet one in the street,
the omen is good, and If 1t should
come and rub itself against us, our
luck is right In. Promptly we stoop
and stroke ito make quite certain.
II that is your custom, do you know
that you are propitiating the Evil One?
Your ancestors in the Middle ages
hated black cats. They regarded them
as being inhabited by Satan himself,
or at any rate, by one Of his evil
spirits. So when they stroked black
cat 1t was not to bring good luck but
to avert ill-luck. BY pleasing the cat
they turned the devil from his wicked
purpose. If you condemn the notion
as silly and superstitious, why do you
continue It?

Ancient Loue Charms

According to ancient English rural
superstition, October was considered
the most notable month in the year for
love charms. st. Faith brought the
first chance for maids to view their
future husbands in vision The
ritual is for three maids to make
dumb cake-one baked in silence-to
pass their portions through a wedding
ring, and couch themselves in one bed
repeating the charm: 80 good ST.
Faith. be kind tonight; bring our
hearts delight" On st. Luke's day a
maid should anoint herself with an
ointment made Of herbs and honey,
and pray to st. Luke before sleeping,
"In dreams let me my true love see."
On st. Simon and st. Jade's day the
pairing OF an apple, thrown over the
shoulder, should fall to form the first
letter of the future husbands name.
No record as to the veracity of these
charms is available.

Ancient Roman LaDs

The Laws of the Twelve Tables was
a famous code of Roman laws drawn
up by the Decemvirs to protact the
plebeians against the oppression at the
patricians. The first ten tables were
enacted I'm 451 b. c., and the two re-
naming ones were added by second
decemvirate in 45O. These last con-
tanned regulations obnoxious to the
common people. and were styled by
Cicero "the two tables Of unjust laws"
The Laws of the Twelve Tables were
engraved on bronze plates and set up
In the Comitium. They constituted the
basis of the written law of Rome and
as late as the time of Cicero were COM
mitted to memory by every schoolboy.

Expert Archery

Philadelphia has played an impor-
tant part in American archery. It's
suburbs have produced two national
champions, and the first archery asso-
citation in the United States was the
United Bowmen Of Philadelphia,
formed in 1928.
The annual contest drew as many as
1900 spectators. There must have
been something of the flavor Of the
days Of Merrie England about 1t, when
the kings archers were his strongest
and bravest and most valiant knights.
Then Welsh archer shot an arrow
through an oak door four inches thick.
with such force the shaft penetrated
hands breadth on the other side"
And the English archers then ad
ganced one step forward and shot their
arrows with such quickness it seemed
as if 1t showed.

Spanish Foreign Legion in San
culinary Fighting.

Fee, French Morocco.-The French
troops fighting against the rebellious
Moors continue to improve their posi-
tons.
The Ayak peak, which dominates the
territory south of Djebel Bou Iblane
was stormed. The French troops now
are building a strong post there, from
which they will hold under their guns
all vital centers. 1t was asserted in
military circles that this rapid stroke
had had a marked effect on the tribes
in that region and that they had de-
cided to submit to the French before
autumn.
Madrid. - Sanguinary hand-to-hand
fighting is in progress in the region
of Tetuan, in the northern part of
Spanish Morocco, an official commu-
nique says. The communique reports
the Spaniards, with the Foreign legion
holding the center of the battle front,
have advanced about two kilometers
in spite OF the Riffians' fanatical re-
sistance.
The communique says the Spanish
causalties amounted to 20 dead and
wounded, while at least 20 Rifian
dead were counted.
In the Alhucemas bay sector, the
communique says, there have been
only a few skirmishes.
Paris.-Many posts which a few
months ago enjoyed a flash of pub
licity as scenes of hard fighting and
dropped out of the news with the an
nouncement, Suppressed or cap
tured," reappeared in the communique
as Marshal Petain's gigantic steam
roller moves resistlessly on.
In two days thirteen of these posts
have been retaken and more added
during the day.

THE END OF THE
SEASON

XK7E CLOSED up for the year our
garden affairs last week, dug our
carrots, covered the strawberry plants
for the winter, cut the last vf the
swiss chard, and had the plot plowed
for next spring.
The garden has been q success
not unqualified, of course-but it has
brought satisfaction and sweet peas;
it has given us exercise, and result
ed in supply of lima beans and Span
ish onions for the winter. 1t has left
memories of green beans and mi
gnonette, of sweet potatoes and tooth
some green corn which are quite
pleasant.
AS / said, it has not been an I'M
qualified success. We planted too
much of some things and too little Of
others. We did not in some cases
time our succession of vegetables as
carefully as we might have done, nor
know quite what to expect from
definite amount of seed. We had car
rots and summer turnips CROUCH for
a township, and neither of us has ever
been particularly crazy over turnips
and carrots. had no conception of
the fact that such mass of roots
could develop from such small pack
ages of seed.
But there is always a satisfaction
as we review the experiment in the
feeling that we can have another
chance at it, that where we have
failed today we can succeed tomor-
row. There are not many sorts of
endeavor or business where one hav-
ing made mistakes or failures may
begin all over again next time and
repair the failure of the previous
year. Every day l am telling young
fellows who want to wipe out the past
and begin anew that 1t is impossible.
Not so with a garden. Every spring
brings a new chance for success;
every recurring season gives one an
opportunity to start again.
If only life were like garden! DID
you ever stop 10 think just what you
would do if another spring of life
should come to you and you might
have the opportunity to begin again?
! on would SOW different seed and In
q different way.

$500, 100000 Merger

Washington.-Aproval of the $780,

was given by Secretary of Agriculture
William NJ. Jardine.
In placing the government stamp on
the giant combination, Mr.. Jardine
warned that any violation of the law
by Armour & Co. would meet with
appropriate and effective action" by
his department.
In his opinion. Secretary Jardine
said:
THE evidence does not warrant the
conclusion that the purchase had the
effect of unduly or arbitrarily lower
ing prices to the shipper who sells
live stock or unduly and arbitrarily
Increasing the price of live stock prod
ucts TO the consumer, or otherwise
manipulating or controlling prices"
