McDADE, Nov. 28 —
"Bitter trust all and he deceived
And weep that trust and that de-
ceiving,
Than doubt one heart, that if believed,
Had blessed one's life with true be-
lieving.
Oh, in this mocking world, too fast
The doubting fiend o'ertakes our
youth!
Bettir be cheated to the last
Than losv the blessed hope."
The conditions under which we are
livintr todwy, as we see them are dif-
ferent to what they use to be, back
in the good old days when our old-
fashioned mothers and fathers with
their old-fashioned ways use to gath-
er at the end of their every day ac-
tivities around the old pine table
with their children and neighbors
having all things common, tVai ful of
"the world, the fl sh and the devil,"
are no more, no m< re. Would that
they could be restored.
Thanksgiving in MeDade was mark-
ed on the Slate of I'm ■ as a usually

With the turke a id fur market
plu> the short c* * on crop, old Mc-

tery and planted in the soil to rest
from his labors. John Jeans was our

CAULS
THI'v superstition with regard to the
caul—the membrane which some-
times envelopes a child's bead at birth
—Is by no means extinct. It Is still
by ninny supposed to Indicate pood
fortune for the child so born and by
many to be an Infallible charm against
drowning, for the person who can get
possession of one nnd wears It about
hiin. Now and then cnuls are adver-
tised for sale. Whnt their market
price Is now Is uncertain; hut If Is
said that "In the Seventeenth cen-
tury sailors used to pay from $." 0 to
$150 for one."
"i was born with a caul," says i>lck-
ens In the beginning of "I>avld CV>p-
perfleld." and relates how his caul was
purchased by an old lady In the neigh-
borhood whom It preserved from
death liy drowning; the fact that she
never In her life ventured on the wa-
ter being merely Incidental
The eaul superstition ran be clearly
traced back Into remote history. It Is
a survival of the worship of the
Egyptian goddess I si s the caul Is the
"Veil of Isis." The word Itself Is a
form of the old Gaelic "call," a veil.
Just why Isis should have had an es-
pecial connection with the water nnd
those who ventured upon it Is a trifle
hazy; but there Is no doubt that she
did and a ship was carried In the pro-
cesnlon In her honor.
It Is rather remarkable how often,
In Investigating modern superstitions,
we run across traces of Ir.is worship;
It Is a reminder of the persistency
with which her cult Introduced Itself
Into Grecian nnd Roman communities
In spite of the opposition of priests
and lawgivers.
