PUT A BIG CHAIN ON YOUR GATES, FOR ' MERRY ALL HALLOWS EVE IS AT HAND Strange Web of Myth and Mystery Surrounds the Night Kept for Fourteen Hundred Years. 4 In one of his charming loT.een: removable articles about his premises J tomorrovv night. At that time yountj, ; mischievous America will be out in full force, and disaster may come to th. gate which is not securly fastened. Its owner will likely find it several blocks away, where it has taken the place of a bridge, which has also been removed. The occasion for these generally unlawful actions is the yearly celebration of Halloween, at which time small boys and sometimes their larger associates, believe they have license to do almost anything which affords them amusement. However, the police force has been added to for that night, and evny officer holding any arresting power will keep vigil for the more obstreperous of the celebrators. Halloween in Society. In social circles Halloween will be celebrated in different ways. Ghost and hobgoblin parties, at which fairies and sprites will be in attendance, are regularly provided for. Many an inquisitive youth and maiden, anxious to peer into the future, will make efforts to have their curiosity satisfied by using various "charms" to determine their destined life partners. For these romantic young folks, Hen ry Frederic Redall, in his "Fact, Fancy and Fable.-- ' gives some valuable suggestions. To some this information will come as old news, but to the majority the "charmed methods" used by the originators of this merry-makin- g event, will be an interesting item. This writer says: "Then a new fire was kindled on the cairn, the multitude raised a mighty shout, and from every eminence for miles around other Arc:; blazed into view. The same night the fire was 1 vit out in every cabin and farmhouse, only to be rekindled with embers from the sacred fire of the priests, which was believed to protect each homestead from peril so long as It remained burning. Ceremonies Degenerated. "In those days faith in the existence of fairies and goblins, wltcl.es and sprites, was very strong; an as the Druidie faith faded before the advance if Christianity the heathen festivals lost much of their old grandeur and former significance, and took on a lower character. So, on the night of October 31st, the simple country folk believing the fairies came out of their gtottos, witches and goblins gathered in the for-es- te glades, or plotted i.gainst mankind in the shadows of the ruined castUs or keeps, by a very natural transition the Halloween fire came to be looked on its a charm against these sprites. So. Putin the seventeenth century, it wan customary for farmers to make the circuit of their fields with a lighted torch in hand, to protect them from harm during the year, chanting or singing a doggerel rhyme the while. "For the reason, also, that these unseen magic powers were deemed to be so iiear at this season, Halloween was thought to be the night of nil nights on which to pry into the secrets of th future, and thus arose all th'ise simple ceremonies by which it was claimed that one's fate might h learned. Of course, no sensible person now believes that by cracking nuts, ducking one's head in a tub of water for apples. dt"p-pin- g melted lead in a gobbt. pulling kale, or eating an apple before a mirror will anything supernatural or ghn.-tle be seen or heard. Hut the pleasant revelries survive though they have lost their superstitious sipnlficain e. Traditions Still Kept. "In England, in Scotland, in Amen. a. even in far-oAustralia- - wht r. er, in fa t, the Saxon tongue is sjokt ji festivities are kept up by the young and old. Hut it is in the two d countries that Hailnwen frolics are seen at their best. iVreat bonfires are still kindled in many phut-around which the villagers j. in hands in the merry dance. Then, as the flames subside into a pile of trlowini? t nd ; the real fun begins. The first r?r tw.rty in Scotland consists in 'pulling the Kale is a sort of eabbag". Lads kak and lassies po out in couples, hand n hand, with eyes shut, and pull the first head of kale they, iuvh. Th- - fact of its h- - ing crooked or straight. larg or small, is said to be mbIMr.atic of the height and figure of the coming husband or wife. If any earth dings to the roots, that means mo:-y- ; while th sweet or bitter taste of the heait of the kale demotes the disposition of th- - prospective life partner. Burr.irg th- - nuts is another equally famous charm. Two hazel ruts are placol in Hie tire, having been previously named for the particular lad or lassie about to try their fortune.

This feast was kept in the Greek SHOULD t ffirjgg as a Of unequalled value 1 S Dates From Fourth Century. church as early as the fourth century of our era, though it did not become common in the west until the beginning of the seventh century. The netting apart of one day sacred to the memory of the saintly dead arose from the fact that the number of such became greatly multiplied, as the church grew and prospered, and it was found too burdensome to devote a feast day to each. Indeed, so great was the number of the canonized, that there were not sacred hours enough in the year to distribute among them all. "Po it was decided to commemorate on one special ba.y those who had no particular days of their own. In the English church the day is some times railed All Hallowmas. Related to Druid Feast. "But it is with the ee of the festival that we have tc do. In the seventh century the Roman temple dedicated to :ill the pagan gods, and hence called thPatheon was freshly consecrated to the worship of the virgin and the martyrs. The new festival was held oiv May i4th in each year, but later it was shifted to .November 1st. Halloween was thereby made to fall on the same day as did an ancient festival among the Druids, those strange priests of a stranger religion who were scattered over many ixminns of Northern Europe before Christianity became its creed. They had many strange ceremonies. For instance, thr' times in each year on. May 1st, at the times of sowing; at the summer solstice. June 21st. for the ripening of the crops; and on October :Jlst, at the harvest season these priests built fires on the hiil-toin Liritain, Ireland and in France, in honor of the sun god.
