ILL-IIALLOWS' E'EN! What a
host of memories that namo calls
up In tho mlpd of mnn or woman.
What a procession of pranks
comes back from tho misty past
on tho wings of recollection and how fondly
do wo dwell on tho memory of some par
tlculor deed of daro-dcvll mischief done
In thoso harum-scarum days beforo tho
sobor slila of Ufa had Intruded Itself on
our youth; or some night when tho nuts
popped right and tho apple paring fell In
tho proper shape, or the seeds counted
right, or any one of Hint long list of tests

conceived, And the boys and girls who
nro now growing to bo men and women
will In their tlmo look back on Hnllowecn

It Is qulto Impossible to fix tho dato of

peculiar sUnlflf nnro attnehed to tho night
la duo beyond doubt to a survival of super
stltlons dating back to pngnn times. It Is
nn occasion when ovll spirits hold sway,
not only tho disembodied, but tho spirits
of thoso still In tho llesh having tho power

Thus It was that much mischief wna dono
on this night, responslbllty for which was
lodged agnlnst tho powers of darkness. In
Hums well known tale of "Tarn o' Shant
or's Rldo" Is given a most vivid account
lAY COOKE'S father was named
Kloulhcros at tho suggestion of
someono who happened to know
that this Greek word moint
"free." Ho went tn rnnnrpin
terms, but was eventually defeated becauso
voters and election officers failed to sncll
his outlandish namo correctly. Then ho
swore that his Infant son should havo n
name thnt everybody could manage. Ac
cordingly ho had his future financier chris
tened Jay, after tho famous chlof Justice.
Miss Margaret Morton Pottor of Chicago,
whoso fathor Is a millionaire, will soon bo
married to John niack. son of General
Jehu C. Illaek. Miss Potter created a sensa
tion In Chicago threo years ngo. whon sho
was 17 years old, by publishing n novel en
titled "A Social Lion." In which sho de
scribed tho Boclety of her natlvo city and
shocked peoplo by tho discussion of things
of which 17-year-old girls nro supposed to
bo Ignornnt. The novel was not dost roved
by spontnnooua combustion, but tho wholi
edition was suppressed. Sho was not dis
couraged, however, and wroto a novel en
titled "Uncanonlzed," turning from tho sin
ner to tho saint. Still a third novel bears
her namo on thu title page and sho Is at
work on a fourth.

Tho Oermans havo Its counterpart In
Walpurgls night, tho night beforo tho 1st
of May, when tho witches and ovll spirits
gather In tho Ilrocken, In tho Hartz moun
tain, to hold their unholy festivities. How
ever, In theso days of enlightenment, tho
work of destruction carried on between
tho hours of sundown on October 31 and
sunrise on November 1 Is rarely ascribed
to supernatural power. To tho exact
agencies concerned lb
tho several communities can glvo amplo
testimony ns a rule.
Not entirely to mischief Is tho night given
over, though. For, If tho superstitions of
earlier days havo not survived, many of
tho moro pleasant customs hnvo been
handed down to us Intact and aro practiced
by tho young folks now Just as they havo
been for centuries past. While waiting
for tho hour of midnight, for that Is tho
propor tlmo for making certain Infallible
tests of fato, such as walking backward
down tho cellar stairs with a candle and n
mirror, peering Into a well whllo repeating
a formula, and tho like, plenty of games

lost nono of Its flavor as a sourco of laugh

antiquity. Naming tho nuts Is equally
old and many other ways of passing tho
evening In Innocent and mlrth-provoklng
