1? THE BEE: OMAHA. SATURDAY, JULY 30. 1921. i c 1 I I SLVEUPY - TIME TALES J THE TALE OF CHIRPY j5b R I C K E T lovinnTunn crATT DA II CY I'UAI'TIiR XIX. It Wasn't Thunder. Quite often, during the nightly roncerts in which Chirpy Cricket s took part, hp had. noticed an odd cry, Fecial Pccnt! which seemed to come from the wood::. And some times there followed from the same direction a hfMlow, booming; sound, s if somebody were amusing him- J9 'That wasn't thunder," Kiddie said, jolt by blowing across the bung-hole ti an empty barrel. Chirpy Cricket had a great truri Mty to know who made thoe queer noises. He asked everybody he met tbout them. And at last Kiddie .atydid told him thst it was Mr. Vighthawk that he had heard. "He seems to think he's a ltnt lician," said Chirpy Cricket. "But 1 nust say I don't care much for his music. He's not what you might call steady player. And his notes are not shrill enough for my liking. Per haps he lacks training. I'd be glad to take him in hand and see what I :ould do with him. Tell me! Does he ever visit our neighborhood?" "Not often!" said Kiddie Katy did, "I met him litre once. And iiat was enough for nic. I never felt nore uncomfortable in all my life." He shuddered as he spoke and 'ooked over his shoulder. Somehow Chirpy Cricket did not thare Kiddie Katydid's uneasiness. fhe more he thought about Mr. Xighthawk the more he wanted to meet him. , "If you ever see Mr. Xighthawk jgain I wish you'd tell him I want o talk with him," Chirpy said. "I'll do so," Kiddie Katydid promised. "And now let me give you a bit of advice. When you meet Mr. Xighthawk, keep perfectly still. He's a hungry fellow, always on the lookout for somebody to eat. But he has one peculiar habit: he won't grab you unless you're moving through the air. He always takes his food on the wing." Chirpy thanked his friend Kiddie Katydid for this valuable bit of i,cws. And lie said r.c a De sure iu I i t member it. I "Well." Kiddie' Katydid observed, "if you forget it when you meet Mr. Xighthawk you'll forget it only once. For he'll grab you quick as a flash." Chirpy Cricket pondered a good deal over the talk he had with Kiddie Katydid. It was clear that Mr. Xighthawk was a dangerous person. "Perhaps" Chirpy thought "perhaps if I could get him td t; ke a greater interest in his music he wouldn't be so ferocious. Yes! I feel sure that if I could only per suade him to practice that booming sound it would give Mr. Nighthawk something pleasant to think of. Who knows but that he might become as gentle as I am?" Chirpv Cricket liked that notion I so much that he thought of little else. He even began to consider making a journey to the woods where Mr. Xighthawk lived, in order to meet that gentleman and offer to train him to be a better musician. And at last Chirpy had even de cided to go-as soon as the, moon should be full. He spent much of his time listening lor Mr. Night hawk's Pcentl Peent! which now and then came faintly across the meadow, and the ' dull, . muffled boom that often followed While Chirpy waited for the moon to grow full, one night an odd thing happened. The stars twinkled over head. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. Yet all at once a loud boom startled Chirpy Cricket and made him leap suddenly towards home. "Goodness!" he cried try Kiddie Katydid, who happened to be near him. "Did you hear the thunder?' "That wasn't thunder." Kiddie said. "And you'd better not jump l.kc that again. Mr. Xighthawk is here. He made that sound himself." (Copyright, Orosset & Dunlap.) Hawaiian planters have found that sugar cane tops, formerly regarded as w aste material, make a good stock food when properly dried. . 1 Romance in Origin Of Superstitions By H. IRVING KING. The Buried Paper. A very interesting superstition is found among childrea in some sec tions of the country. They write the names of 200 or 300 iu some sections it is 100 persons on a paper and ask each person whose name is thus written to bow o the document. As the bow is made it is recorded opposite the name by a sign which resembles a crude crpital H. The collection of names and signs being completed the paper is buried face down in the ground. After two or three months it is dug up, with the expectation of findinT money under it; or some say, left there until it is decayed when whatever you wished for at its burial will "come true." It has been suggested that the sign plated after the names on the paper was originally the zodiacal sign tor pisccs, the lishes, which is often dis torted into something resembling an jil iu mystic writings. If this sur- mise is correct, the superstition is easily explained. The fish on high authority, was the most obvious and ancient symbol of the reproductive power of water." The fecundation of the earth by water is the basis of some of the most ancient and promi nent mythological cults. Thus burying the sign of pisces in the earth results in production. The names on the paper represent human sacrifices to say Fammuz and Ishtar, who, in the ancient Sem itic legend, were tho god and god dess typifying this unior of water and earth and who were thus in voked. It is well-known that human sacrifice, once universal, was re placed as civilization developed, into the sacrifice of a substitute for the human victim; perhaps an image, a symbol or even a written name. This exceedingly interesting survival the superstition of the buried paper, is worthy of more study and of more space than can be given it here, fowl-lulu 19:1, by The MclMur Newspaper Syndicate. Where It Started Towels. The first use of towels occurred square pieces oi cloth tor drying their h.uuls alter washing or after meals; these were called "toilles." French fur linen or cloth. The i word became corrupted by "towels," and later their use was restricted to drying purpose only. Copyright, 1921, Wheeler Syndicate, In Parents' Problems sires and points ol iews.
