Always before, Henrietta liad

Wfiat was the matter? To tell

not know how to answer that ques

She only "knew that a great 'misfortune-
had befallen her. . Ad she
dreaded to tell 'Anybody abourit. .
To be sure,' there .was' old While
a hen who had lived on the farm
lonuer than any other. Most mem
bers of the flock often asked her
advice. Kven Henrietta herself had
done ''that.-. But this difficulty was

Then-' Henrietta'' happened to hear
of" -Aunt Polly Wo.qdchuek. .'The
2Iulcy; Cow, who. went to. the pasture
every -day,, mentioned Aunt Polly'4
name to Henrietta: ; According to
the Mnley Cow, Aunt Polly Wood-r
(Imck was an herb doctor and a
good one, too. No matter what
mishti be troubling a person, Aunt
Polly., .was- sure to have something
right in her basket to cure it.
"I'd'like to see her,"' Henrietta

' her eyes were as bright as buttons.

Are the Germans Called "Bodies?"
. Like "camouflage" and a number
of other terms, "Boche," as applied
to the. German soldier ' during the
world war,' had its origin , in the
slang of the 'Parisian street where
it has becn-iused for years Mhough
it never succeeded in slipping' into
the, dictionary -authorized by the
French, academy. 'According toM,
Maurice Donnay, the Parisian play
wright, "The word 'boche' is not a
creation of the .war for, in French
slang, it is a frequent occurence to
substitute 'boche' or 'oche' for the
final syllable of a word, thus treat
' ing the original term in . a manner
which signifies contempt or disre
spect. Taking the French word for
German, 'Aliemand,' dropping the
last svllable and substituting 'btfche,
we gc't 'Alleboefie, later shortened to
'Boche' or 'contemptible German.'"
That this term annoyed the former
kaiser is evident from his protest,
early in 1918, against "the detestable
word Boche" and his satisfaction
over the report that its use was be
coming more .infrequent in France.
P-utj with-"Hurf," the term will prob
ably remain-one of the. landmarks of
language growing-out of 'the war
a sort oi military, or ..historic, mile-Uone-of
a mighty conflict.- s. -( .

?,Rpmance in Origin
1 1 Of Superstitions
Three Times a Bridesmaid.
. TVere is a common superstition
that a girl who acts three times as
a bridesmaid will be an old maid
a sort of "three times and out"
superstition. It would appear that
this idea had its origin- in that conception-of
marriage; by the ancients
as' is shown many times in myth
ology; 'and folk iore-as; something
to ' which magic , particularly : attach
ed, a Among the-forms of. .magic as
sociated with marjiage, was sympa
thetic; magic of the sort known as
contagious. Several current super
stitipnSi illustrate this; "contagious
'magic" idea in connection' with mar
riage and, reasoning by analogy, it
would seem as if a" girl ; who hat
been three times a briosmaid ought
to be pretty sure of being a bride
herself, :
But 'folk lore magic is full of
seeming contradiction; at -any time
you are liable to run across a nega
tive current, as it were, where you
expected a positive one. ' It is so in
the . bridesmaid superstition. - The
ancients regarded magical contagion
as something real as real as we do
the contagion of smallpox. Among
primitive man, as among primitive
races ."today, also, some people were
regarded as more susceptible to
magical influences than others. Now
a girl 'who has been three times tx-.
posed to the contagion of marriage
without effect might reasonably be
supposed to be immune. Upon com
parative religion, folk lore and
magic. new light is constantly being
thrown. The three really form one
subject' and even Sir James Frazet,
in his twelve volumes of the Golden
Bcugh, has but touched upon vast
and unexplored regions. Therefore,
the -above explanation of the brides
maid superstition is only offered
tentatively. Perhaps future research
may. reveal' some other.

Where It Started
v "O Yes or "Oyes."
"O yes! O yes! O yes!" the crier's
words for the opening of courts or
polling places, is a corruption of the
Norman-French word "Oyes," mean
ing "Hear Yel" It was the custom
to have all announcements made by
the town crier, who walked abroad
ringing a bell to attract attention,
after which he prefaced his announce
ment with "Oyes!"
