Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By IRVING KING.
Geraniums.
There is a rather common belief
in the rural districts of the United
States that snakes will not go where
geraniums are growing and that ger
aniums growing in a window-box
will prevent flies from entering the
window. This superstition attaches
to the plants cultivated in gardens
and as house-plants, which are not
geraniums at all, but belong to the
genus pelargonium of South Africa.
The 'magical qualities of this plant
were transferred to it along with the
name from the true geranium; the
word geranium being a Greek word
meaning crane's bill, a name given to
the true geranium because of the long
projecting beek of the seed capsule.
In fact crane's bill is the common
name for the true geranium.
Now the crane was for long ages n
bird of mystery. At a certain season
the crane disappeared and at a cer
tain season he reappeared, always
flying in a V shape. This mystery as
to the crane's place and manner of
breeding, and the weird dances they
indulge in at the time of their love
making, caused a wealth of mythol
ogy and folk-lore to grow up around
them. It was not until 1853 that it
was discovered that the crane sought
the shores of the Arctic sea to lay
its eggs and rear its young.'
Among the ancients there wis a
belief that forms of pla.it life were in
some cases transformed into forms
of animal life. In the mystery which
hung over the propagation of the
crane the peculiar form of the seed
capsule of the geranium caused it to
be looked upon with suspicion, and
to the plant were assigned some of
the mystic attributes which pertained
to the crane, which was known to be
antagonistic to snakes and flies.
When the pelargonium came to be
called in popular parlance geranium
crane's bill the superstition went
with the name. This is a curious
example of a superstition surviving
by means of a name, though the
name is now given to an entirely
different object from that by means
of which the superstition had birth.

Where It Started
True Blue.
This term originated in 1802. A
certain Mr. Scott invented a blue dye
which never ran; it made him his
fortune and got him the name of
"True Blue Scott." The term came
to mean consistency or loyalty
under adversity.

Th Woy th Wounded Trooper Wi
Brought to th Inn.
I had not waited for Dicky's rail
to Bess Dean. As I answered hi
query concerning my whereabout 1
slipped pan him to the tu. t lh!
lock, of which Ted wa fumbling. I
knew that the lad's huini and eyes
were not upon the keys, but upon
Bess Dean, whose head was peering
from the tar,
With an impatient little exclama
tion, and I am afraid, an exceeding
ly school ma'amish , attitude I
snatched the keys from his hand,
scruntinized 'them and the lock, and
in anoth.er instant fitted the right
one, unlocked the gate, and swung
it open. ' Making sure that it would
not swing back, I ran 'toward the
car, sprang into the ' driver's seat,
and inserted the switch key. I had
seen that by backing the car into
the open road the task of. lifting the
unconscious wounded trooper into
the car would be made much easier.
Dicky's call to Hcs Dean had
sounded as I unlocked the gate. She
obeyed him instantly, and was out
in the road with both tonneau doors
open as I climbed into the car. She
also, has been trained to meet emer
gencies without flinching, - and I
guessed that she was even more will
ing than I to sink the question of
her wanderings with Dicky for the
last hour or two, beneath the stress
of the coming battle for the life of
the wounded man.
"Everything's out of the tonneau."
she said tersely. "What can I do?"
"Watch at the back, there," 1 re
sponded, "for a chance car and the
ditch on the other side. Call 'Stop'
if I'm not going right."
I had started the car as I spoke,
and was beginning the backing. She
stepped to the rear, and by the time
the stretcher and its bearers reached
the road I was ready for them.
"Good work, Mrs. Graham," Mr.
Cosgrove commented. "Now, boys
be careful."
lie got into the tonneau and care
fully, tenderly, Dicky and the Cos
grove twins lifted their, unconscious
burden over the wheels.'
A Strange Scene. .
"Can I do anything?" 1 heard Bess
Dean's voice from the side of.the car.
"Yes," Pa Cosgrove rejoined short
ly. "Get into the front of the car
with Mrs. Graham. Here, Graham,
you come in here with me and help
keep this poor fellow as steady as
possible. Boys, the running-board
for yours. Now, Mrs. Graham, if
you ever drove fast and -careful at
once, get busy."-
"Which way?" I asked laconically,
"Straight ahead. Keep on 'this
state road for about a mile. There's
only one cross-road, and that isn't
macadam, so you don't need to pother
about corners. , I'll tell you when
to stop." v'."::tv-A! t-. r.'
Bess Dean had climbed to the seat
beside me, but for once in her life
she had no comment, no query. The
presence of possible death in the car
had sobered her,, as it had all of us,
and it was a somber party, indeed,
that proceeded down the, road,. The
moon lighted the way, o that I was
not afraid to travel fast, and It was
but a few moments before I heard
Pa Cosgrove's signal to stop.
We drew up .before a low, ram
bling house, a cross between an inn
and a country store. . It had a wide
porch, upon which there were tables,
and a big space in the center of the
room inside, evidently the "usual
place for other tables. These were
stacked now to one side, however,
and several couples were dancing on
the floor to the music: of a piano
played by a slender, pasty-faced
youth with straggling, unkempt hair
that kept falling into his eyes and
being shaken out , again. That he
was distinctly the village cut-up, and
that this was one of his sure-fire
laughter-provoking tricks, I uessed
from the conscious air with which he
did it, and the giggle which greeted
his action.
I had time to notice this through
the open windows as one. "would a
rreliminary scene in a play before
the real action begins, because of
Ted's delay in getting hold of any
one in authority to come out to the
car. The music and the laughter of
the dancers prevented any one hear
ing his first appeal. Indeed, it was
not until he seized one chap by the
arm and fairly shouted his news into
Ih ear that any one paid any atten
tion to him. . .. .
Pa Cosgrove Request..
The man he had seized drew back
fit first as if to strike the intruder.
Then at Ted's explanation he turned
and bawled something to the youth
at the piano, who stopped the music.
And then an efficient looking, rotund
little man evidently the proprietor
cf the place came up, listened to
Ted a minute, and with a swift but
ludicrc-us trot came out to the car.
"Vat it is, eh? Oh, dot's you, Cos
grove! Vat" . '
"State trooper. 'We found him
badly wounded, unconscious." Mr.
Cosgrove explained ' tersely. "Get
some tables together with a blanket
and a sheet over them, so we can
lift him on them, and while you are
doing it have somebody telephone
for Doc Burns down at Kingston.
He can get here as quick as anv
mody." "
Jewel, Flower, Color
Symbols for Today
By MILDRED MARSHALL.
Today's talismanic gem is a stone
of religious significance. It is the
lapis lazuli, which is "particularly
t.oted for its ability to cure nervous
disorders particularly melancholia
and insomnia. For those who are
inclined to morbidity, the lapis la
zuli is specially recommended.
The promise of the topaz .will b
fulfilled today- for those whose
birth anniversary this is. This
promise embraces all good iortune,
as well as protection from harm,
particularly the harm which arises
fiom evil acquaintances. It was be
lieved by the ancients that those
who wore a topaz Jed singularty
pleasant and untroubled lives.
Yellow is a fortunate color today.
To wear it is believed to bring hap
piness in love.
