ORACULAR WRITINGS REMAIN A MYSTERY The Sibylline books were a collec tion of oracular writings In three vol umes. said to have contained the for tunes of the ancient Roman date. Ac cording to tradition they w-re pur chased by Tarqulnlus Superbus from the Cumaean Sibyl, and deposited In the temple of Jupiter Capitoltnus at Rome In a stone chest, underground. They were guarded by certain officers, at first two in number, hut afterward Increased successively to ten and fif teen. The Sibylline books were not open to public inspection, hut were consulted only by those In charge of them, at the special command of the senate. Whether they contained pre dictions or merely directions for pro pitiating the gods Is difficult to deter mine In consquence of the mystery that enveloped them. They were de stroyed by the burning of the temple In 82 B. 0„ hut a fresh collection was made and deposited in the same build ing when rebuilt. In 12 R. C. the Sibylline books were transferred by Emperor Augustus to the temple of Appollo on the Palatine hill, where they remained until publicly burned by Stllicho, between 404 and 408 A. D.

HARD TO ASSOCIATE JOB AND THE TURKEY, Probably the most remarkable thing about the proverbial Job’s turkey la the fact that Job never had a turkey. This bird, which belongs to the pheas ant family, was erroneously thought by the early settlers In tills country to have come from Turkey and the fowl was named accordingly. But the tur key was a native of America and Eu ropeans never hpard of It until the New world was discovered by Colum bus thousands of yeurs after Job, the richest man In all the East, was gath ered to his fathers. The phrase "poor as Job’s turkey” Is supposed to be of American origin. It probably origi nated in an old book entitled “Sam Slick” by the Amerlcan-Oanadlan jur ist and author, Thomas C. Hallburtou. In this book a turkey gobbler is de scribed as being so poor that he had only one feather in his tail, and so weak that he had to lean against a fence to gobble. The turkey’s emaci ated condition was ascribed to his per sistent efforts to hatch out chicks from eggs which didn't have any chicks in them. But just how Job became as sociated with the turkey has never been determined.—Pathfinder Mag azine. — FREE 5-Tube Radio Set FREE Send self-addressed, stamped envelope — for full particu lars regarding this OFFER.
