"Now, help yourself while I cut you a slice of cuke.” Benjl looked out of the corner of his eye its he ate the cream and saw her cutting into a huge mountain ot frosted cake. “Don't drop It," said Benji, as he saw the old wrtch trying to lift the big piece she had cut. Benjl imd Ids mouth all ready for that cake when a cloud crine floating ahir.g olid hit the old witch so hard that she dropped it, and "Bang:'’ Benjl heard it drop. So he was sure he did not dream it when a second later he sat up In lied looking around the room with the moonlight streaming in the window. The curtain was swinging and an overturned chair lay on the floor, but the witch was nowhere about, nor was that big slice of cake. .lust then Benji’s mother opened the door. She picked up the chair. "Did It scare you?” she asked as she put the clothes over Benjl and tucked him in. "The wind is blowing and 1 guess I had heller close this window partly." "No; let It stay open," said Benji, sleepily. Maybe she’ll come back and I'll get that piece of cake she

“Who’ll come back?” asked bis mother, leaning over him. "I guess you have been dreaming.” Benjl did not answer. He didn't know whether he had been dreaming or not. But one thing he did know, and that was that witches are good and sometimes take boys on nice rides and never barm them. (:©, 1924, McClure Newepaper Syndicate )

Questions of Stale The proprietor of a village store was sitting with the loafers who had formed a circle around the stove. His sole assistant was a youngster who had lately drifted in from parts un-

known.

A woman entered and asked for a pound of cheese. She would not allow the assistant to wait on her, but insisted on bating the proprietor. The lad must have been trained in some city otflce, for to tlds demand he made firm reply: “Can’t disturb him now. He's In conference." — Pittsburgh ChronicleTelegraph.

EMILY 'C'ROM the Latin gens Aetnillus l« ^ derived the quaint simplicity of Emily—or so It is believed. Elilily's origin is a trifle perplexing since some bold that it Is from the mythical Ainal of the Gothic, hut the hitter contention is not definite. Several obscure saints bore the name of Aeinilius or Aetnlllanus. Einiljl was much used in Russia as a masculine name. In Spain a hermit- St. Aendlianns— was known as St. Milium, and thence the name spread to Italy, where it became Emilio. Due to Rousseau’s educational work, Emile became popular in France. The feminine form had been forgotten when Boccaccio wrote ids “Teseide" and called the heroine Emilia. It was at one is^ranslated, or imitated in all languages. The Teutons called her Amalie and Amalie of Mansfield and Amalie of Wurtemburg wore among t!ie\nmous women who bore the name. The daughter of George II brought If to England and was called Princess Emily. Straightway it. became prevalent In Europe, where it was often, but erroneously, confused with Amelia. Amy and Emma, which have far different origin. Strange to say, no well-known saint was named Emily, and even Do la Roche’s beautiful design of the queenly Sainte Amellc was intended as a compliment to the queen of Louis Philippe, an Amalie which came through Naples from Austria and does not belong t<> Emily at all. The French have called the name Emille and both the English and Italians have an Emilia. Everyone is familiar with Shelley’s verses to the lovely and unfortunate Lady Emilia imprisoned in the convent of St. Anne. Pisa : I never thought before my death to see Youth’s vision thus made perfect. iSmily, I love thee: though the woYld by no thin name Will hide that love from its unvalued shame. Would we two had been twins of the same mother, Or. that the name my hearty.lent to another Could be a sister’s bond for her and thee. Blending two beams In one eternity!" Emily's stone is the onyx, but curiously enough ii is not always a lucky gem and should tie worn with care, since It cools the ardor of into, provokes db-tard and separates lovers. Yet to dream of onyx signifies a happy marriage. Friday is Emily's l;u l;j day and 6 her lucky nuinben (O by Wheeler Syndicate.)

QheWhy

Superstitions

By H IRPINQ KtNQ

DROPPING BREAD

TT YOU drop bread on the floor pick It uf» immediately; to leave it there would expose you to very great trouble in the near future. This superstition Is but one of many In which lingers the idea of the ancients with regard to the existence of a “Spirit of the Corn.” Tills corn spirit was to them something to tie propitiated, encouraged. implored—its beneficence or its niggardliness in the harvests meant for them life or death. Volumes have been written concerning this ancient worship of the Spirit of the |X Corn—more correctly the Spirit of thejlj Grain—and of all edible farm products. . w Many of the ceremonies connected with it exist today in Europe in ii|| form but little modified from the ancient ritual. And in the worship of the corn spirit not only the seed, the growing crops, and the gathered sheaves but also the bread into which the “corn” was made had its part. So when bread is dropped on the floor to let it He there would be an Insult to the "corn” spirit. . There-

fore pick it up at once.
