NEEDED A THOROUGH SOUSING
R
Evil Spirit of Hackman Could Not Be
Exorcised Except by Most Strin.
gent Methods.
Doctor Brown, a 4 negro evangelist,
was a firm believer in the ancient cus
tom of river baptism, and converts
whom he haptl;ed in this manner sel
dom forgot it. A few years ago he
held a christening in a New Jersey
town on the banks of the Delaware
river, where a dozen or more converts
were assembled, awaiting their turns
to be immersed. Among them was a
hackman, who evinced a lively inter
est in the ceremony.
“Why does the good doctor.,” he
asked of a fellow convert, “duck some
of them folks two times an' others
more?” |
“He ducks 'em once,” explained his
friend, “for every new name they're
goin’ to have.” N |
“Tls that possible?" the hackman re
plied. *I was goin’ to eall m_\-:«-lf‘
Thomas Jefferson Lincoln Anderson, |
but I guess ‘Tom’ will be 'bout long
e |
This conversation was overheard hy
the sharp ears of Doctor Brown, who
finally beckoned the hackman to come
forward.
“Yo' name, please?’ he inquired in
a deep bass voice.
“Jess baptize me “Tom,’ that's 'nuff,”
the candidate replied, as the evangel
ist, taking him none too gently by the
neck, piloted him far out into the
stream, where he ducked him not once
bur half a dozen times with such ra
pidity and vigor that a few minutes
later the hack®an found himself on
the shore, coughing, sputtering and
fizhting for breath. The ceremony was
soon over, and when he had recovered
his strength he made his way to the
side of Doctor Brown.
“What fo' you duck me that way?”’
he demanded In aggrieved tones. I
come here to be baptized, not to be
drowned.”
“My good man,” replied Doctor
Brown, “you was so filled with the
devil T had to use a powerful lot of
water to wash him out of yo' system.”
'SCUTARI HAS LONG HISTORY
| Known as “Geneva of the Balkans” It
\ Is Cne of the Oldest Cities
i in Europe.
, S
i Scutari, principal city of Albania,
| scenically suggests Geneva, nestling
[ between the limpid waters of Lake
;Svuturi and the mountains of north-
Lern Albania, snow-capped for the
| greater part of the year, rising to
| furm an Alp-like background. Instead
| of being a city of highly organized in-
Cdustry and industrious and fruga! ar
tisans, Scutari has been searred by
L xword, earthauake and flood.
| To reach Scutari from any Monte
negrin town, on the north side of Lale
Neutari, one boards a “iondra,” the
sharp-pointed prow and stern rising
lhigh out of the water. Oarsmen
| propel it by short, quick jerks, often
| accompanying their strokes by a wild
Cbarbarie chant. The gondola-like boats
on Lake Scutaria are acceounted for
by the Venetian influence that is evi
denced in Seutari, .
Scutari is one of the oldest cities in
Kurope, having been the seat of the
IHyrian kings, ten centuries hefore
(‘hrist, and as the descendants of the
ai clent tribes the Albanians have a
lincage far oldaer than most Furopean
nationals, The wor'd war brought the
Alhanians into swiden contact with
modern ideals and they won admira
tion for fine physique and keen minds,
unimpaired by soft living.
One Gocd Time.
I think my most emharrassing mo
ment took place one lovely night last
summer, T was engoaged to be mar
ried and deeided to have one zood time
with an old friend of mine. 1 can
celed my intended hushand’s date,
complaining of a sick headache, and
went out joy riding. I explained the
circumstancees to my friend, o we de
cided to go to a bathing beach some
distance away to take a plunge in the
lake. We were having a grand and
glorious time swimming and diving
when lo! who should stand on the
pier but my future husband. You
can imagine my agony when my friend
called to me, “Say, May, dive with me
once more; then we'll have lunch.”—

As_the Ancients Believed,
Af'f'nrd.,ng to the Puranas of Hindu
mythology the earth I 8 circular and
flat, like the flower of a water lily. Its
circumference is 4,000,000 000 miles. In
the center I 8 Mount Soowmeroo, On
this mountain are three peaks formed
of gold, pearls and precious stones,
where the deities reside. At its base
are three mountains on each of which
grows a tree 8000 miles high. The
furthermost country from these moun
tains is bounded by the sait sea. Be
yond this sea there are six others—of
sugar cane juice, of spirituous liquors,
of clarfied butter, or curds, of milk
and nectar. Ilach sea is surrounded by
a separate continent,
PICTURESQUE iy iTJ 12574
Town of Cajamarca, in Andes Moun
' tains, Inhabited by People Seem
ingly Without Ambition. ;
The town of Cajamarca, nestled
among the Andes mountains is, pes
haps, the most unambitious community
in the world, according to Harry A.
Franck, who writes in the Wide World@
Magazine.
Cajamarca 1s very old, he says. The
Spaniards found it when they con~
quered the country centuries ago, buf
nothing of the oid Inca civilization re
mains, and the oldest buildings are the
churches that the conquerors erected.
Today, says Mr. Franck, the churches
stand architecturally incomplete, not
because time has demolished them buf
" because, according to local traditiom,
a finished structure in colonial days
had to pay tribute to the government,
and so the builders economized by
stopping work before ‘the churches
were finished.
It Is a town where the upper class
is distinguished by wearing collars and®
shoes and performing no manual labeor,
where the “lower class” {s ragged and
poverty-stricken, and where life goes
on from year to year in a state of ineg=
tia which nobody seems to find unde
sirable. The unfinished churches give
the old town a picturesque aspect, he=
ing built of stone and colored by the
passage of time until they remind &
traveler of the ancient Spanish edis
fices of Salamanca; nor is there any
present likelithood that the town will
grow rich enough to spoil their pies
turesque incompleteness by finishing
them.
And not in a century, says the latest
visitor from the outside world, has
there been born in that town a “bey
with the initiative and energy to tramp
three days over the western range, and
stow away for some place where he
could make a mman of himself.”
JOHNSON NOT FIRST IN FIELD
Contrary to Wide Belief, There Was
an English Dictionary Before
He Compiled His.
The oldest English dictionary 1S net
that by Doctor Johnson, as so many
appear to think. There were many
such lexicons before his day, and the
earliest of them all was Dr, John Wil
Ham’s “An Alphabetical Dictionary,™
appended to the author's “Essay Tos
ward a Real Character and a Philoe
sophical Language,” published in 1668,
Everybody “seems to know that the
first printed London directory aps
peared in 1677, frequent notices in the
press being accountable for much, bat
how many are aware that the art of
Hving in London was first reduced to
a science by Roger Crab, who in 1658
published a book, the first of its kind
ever seen, in which he discourses ag
length on the scandalous extravaganece
of all who expended more than three
farthings per week upon their food.
The earliest attempt to introduee
phonetic spelling is afforded, so far as
is known, by Butler's “Feminine Mons
archy” first published at Oxford In
1609, and the “Polygraphia’™ of Trithe
mius, 1518, furnished the first attempt
at secret writing,
The carliest eollection of maps of
Englind and Wales is found in the
work of Christopher Saxton, whieh
first saw the light in the days of Eliza
beth, The maps number 35, and were
published separately hetween 1573 and
1570, when a title and index were adds
ed and the whole series published o
book form.—Bookman's Journal and
P’rint Collector.
i
Kinds of Stage Humor.
The French, who have an armory of
critical terms both more exact and
more abundant than ours, distingunish
between three different kinds of stage
humor, Brander Matthews writes in
Munsey’'s. There is, first of all, the
mere witticism, the sentence laughas
ble in itself, the so-called “epigram
and this they term the “mot de'esprit®
Second, there is the phrase which de
rives its comie effect not from itself,
hat from its utterance at a given mo
ment in the movement of the story:
and this they term the “mot d'esprit.™®
situation.” Thirdly, there is the word
or sentence whereby a character ems
presses himself unexpectedly and
characteristically, unconscionsly turns
ing the flashlight on the unexplored ree
cesses of his own soul: and they arg
wont to call this the “mot de carmes
tere,”
. Ancient Love Filters,
In the Middle ages people had re«
course to love filters, magical invoess
tions, prayers, fastings and the ilke,
which were modified according to the
country and the individual., A girl had
only to agitate the water in a bucket of
water with her hand, or to throw
broken eggs over another person’s
head, if she wished to see the image
of the man she should marry. If &
bridal party met a monk on going ta
the church the union ¢ould not be hap~
py. A priest, a dog, cat, lizard or sers
pent were equally unfortunate, while
a spider, a toad or a wolf augured that
all would go well. How the ring came
to be used is not well known, as it ai¢
not occupy its present position in fors
mer times.—Chicago Journal. ;
Counterfeit Reason.
“Yes, I still have the first five dol«
lar note that I made,” said the grags
haired passenger.
“Good gracious!” exclailmed kiwm
traveling acquaintance, “how did yom
keep it so long?"
“Well, it was very imperfect, belng
my first, and I'd have had trouble i
passing it.” g
