It Is so culled because of the legend connected with St. Swithin, bishop of Westminster, and tutor to King Alfred. At his request he was buried in the churchyard of th£ abbey, where passers-by might tread on his grave, and where the rain froui the eaves might fall on it." After his canonization in 865 A. D., it was resolved to remove Ills remains to "the chancel, the customary burial place of the bishops, and July 15 was appointed for the ceremony; but on that day and for forty days thereafter, St. Swithin, to testify to his displeasure, caused rain to fall so heavily that the monks abandoned their design as heretical and blasphemous. From this legend arose the popular superstition in England that if rain falls on July 15 H will continue to do so for the forty days succeeding. Careful records kept at Greenwich „ observatory for many years, however, show the superstition has no foundation in fact.--Kansas City Star.

BOY SCOUT HERO OF TENEMENT FIRE Risks His Life to Save Two Children, Brooklyn, N. Y.--Meager details secured with difficulty from a modest h#ro, who rescued two persons from a burning house, were rounded out from accounts of three witnesses and their descriptions of th* lad's courageous work. When Scout Salvatore Olanqulnto of Brooklyn, N. Y_, one evening discovered a fire had broken out In the tenement house in which he lives, be rushed to the nearest alarm box and turned in the alarm. Quickly returning to the house, he found the flames had gained great headway In the upper part of the building. The streets nearby were in a turmoil, the people of the tenement horror-stricken and hastening to get out of the burning dwelling. The scout hurrying to the front door, saw a tenant of the fifth floor coming down with a baby In her arms and screaming that her two other children were still in the rooms. Qlanqulnto rushed up the stairs and soon returned with one child. Again risking his life he ran up to the top floor, which by this time was fully ablaze, and brought down the other child, Just as the first engine arrived at the fire. The building was a total loss. So reticent was the scout about speaking of his part In the rescue that it was over a month before the scoutmaster of Glanqulnto's troop heard through an outside source of the boy's work. When questioned, the boy stated, "Oh, It wasn't anything."

Donner of the Fort Hall Indian agency, Idaho, in a letter to Indian Commissioner Burke. Donner pictured scenes at the recent burial there of Chief Pat Tyhee, a factional leader of the Bannock tribe. Tyhee, more than eighty years old, •nd 6 feet 4 inches tall, gained distinction as a United States scout in the Nez Perce war. The slxty-three-year-old widow, a spare and withered woman, known as Ahtahgepyane, or "The Bony One," stood for three hours at the grave, barelegged and clad In a sleeveless calico dress. At Intervals she hacked herself with the glass. In this, Superintendent Donner wrote, she perhaps went to extremes. "But this," he continued, "Is a very old custom among these people, and she, being a very old lady, it would have been useless to have tried to Interfere with her belief and convictions. I want to say, however, that the custom Is not Intensively practiced, except among real old-timers. "I remember attending funeralji on this reservation 20 years ago when as many as fifteen or twenty women would practice this custom at the death of a noted member of the family.

Robbard Is seventy years old and feeble. Leonard Hardy, who entered, the penitentiary as Leon Haley when he was convicted with Robbard, also won a pardon. For 90 years he has Insisted that he is innocent, and he predicted that he would be pardoned. While age and prison life were crushing Robbard, Hardy, who was twentyfour years old when he was sentenced, prepared for his day of freedom by studying journalism. While Robbard was asserting that he was afraid of the world. Hardy -said good-by to him, shook hands with the warden and announced that he was going to Texas |o enter newspaper work. Mystery Enshrouded Pal. ' Hardy attracted much Interest wWle he was awaiting trial for the murder. Young, handsome and seemingly well educated, he whetted public curiosity by admitting that his real name was wovep about him. "I'll never tell my real name while my mother Is alive," was his reply whenever he was questioned about his secret, although he was told that announcement of his real name might assist In securing a parole. Ten years ago Mrs. George Hardy, widow of a Rock Island (111.) merchant, died without an answer to her Asked Permission to Remain In P*nl> tentiary. prayer that she might see her son Leonard. In the library at Fort Madison penitentiary Leon Haley, the librarian, read of the woman's death. "She was my mother," he told the warden. "My name is Leonard Hardy. I'm glad she died without learning where I am." Circumstantial Evidence. Robbard and Hardy were convicted on circumstantial evidence, and many Dubuquers believed they were innocent. Theodore Firth and Henry Talcott were shot to death In the Milwaukee railroad yards here in the morning of April 14, 1893, while they were searching for Robbard and Hardy, who were suspected of implication in a robbery. Believing the fugitives were, hiding In a passenger coach, the officers entered at opposite ends of the car, each with a revolver In his hand. A few minutes later the engineer of a passing train saw Firth on the ground outside the car. He was dying with a bullet wound. Talcott was found dead Inside the coach. Robbard and Hardy offered alibis, and they were substantiated by several witnesses. The engineer declared, however, that he saw the two men pass In front of his locomotive shortly before the officers were' found. The defense charged the detectives killed each other in a duel In the dark. The prosecutor contended that Robbard and Hardy were hiding In the coach and shot the officers as they entered. On the witness stand Hardy admitted that be had committed several robberies. "Guilty" was the verdict, and life sentences were Imposed. No action has been taken on Robbard's plea that he be permitted to remain 1b the penitentiary.

Though she was released by authorities, Mlae Butterworth will be Jected'to a mental examination Canadian's Feat Makes Marathon Look Simple Marathon races get their name from the feat of the great Greek ^runner, Pheidlppldes, who carried the news of the victory over the Peraians from Marathon to Athens. That was about 28 miles, and besidea the battle being the turning point In the history of Europe, U was made forever dramatic by the fact that the runner dropped dead on finishing his Journey. That was a mild Journey compared wltli a Canadian episode which has been unearthed by W. J. Healy and described in the Winnipeg Tribune. Jean Baptiste Laglmoniere was a resident at Fort Garry (now Winnipeg) In 1815, when the growing hostilities between the Hudson's Bay company and the Northwest company led to a crisis which called for quick action. Laglmoniere was a nitn of thirty-five, whose fifteen years in the West had made him a noted hunter and coureur de bols, when Colin Robertson, who was in charge of the stockaded stronghold of the Selkirk settlement at Fort Douglas, asked him to deliver a letter to Lord Selkirk in Montreal. Laglmoniere set out on foot with Instructions to carry the letter as swiftly as possible to Lord Selkirk, informing him of the danger $nd asking him for help. It was a Journey of 1,800 miles through much wilderness, which In some parts was made still more dangerous by the presence of Northwest company scouts. The runner set out, therefore, In the diJectlon of Pembina, as If on a hunting trip, and making a wide circle he traveled by Warroad, Rainy River and Fort William, thence tp Detroit. East of Detroit he was overtaken by a mall carrier to whom, being far from the fur traders' capital, he told his mission. The mall carrier than offered to take him all the way to Montreal, provided he were allowed to deliver the. letter to Selkirk. Jean Baptiste told that generous and enterprising mail carrier that he had promised to carry the letter himself to Lord Selkirk and that he would do It unless he died on the way. Then he jumped out of the mall carrier's sleigh and continued his Journey oh foot. Montreal was reached on New Tear's eve, or two months after the Journey was started, and Lady Selkirk Joined her husband In the warm welcome to the hardy messenger. Laglmoniere started bpek In a couple of days with a reassuring message, but near Fort William he was taken prisoner by a party of Indians on the lookout for him on the request of the Northwesterns. He was held for some months and released only when Fort William was captured by Lord Selkirk. The massacre of Seven Oaks, a battle between the forces of the warring fur trading companies, occurred that summer at Winnipeg, but peace followed and Laglmoniere lived until 1855. m Colored Deities "People are showing astonishment over M&rcus Garvey's black deity. They consider a black deity an Innovation, a blasphemous Innovation. Well, they are wrong." The speaker was a colporteur. He went on: "Look at this picture of the holy family. It's for our Chinese mission." The Mary of the picture was a Chinese woman, with dwarfed feet, trousers and slanting eyes; Joseph was an old fellow with a queue; the divine child had the flat nose and oblique eyes of China. "Here," the colporteur continued, "to a holy family for the Congo." Mary in the Congo picture was fat and black, with crinkly hair; Joseph was a robust black warrior, a spear In his hand, a girdle of feathers round his loins; the Infant was black, too. 'Our holy families for missionary use," the colporteur ended, "are always made In the likeness of the people who are to study them. These simple and childlike people would be estranged and repelled by a white holy family. Only this sort shows them the deity's real kinship with themselves."--Detroit Free Press. The Divorce Evil "For every seven marriages lit the United States there Is one divorce. This Is a shocking state of things." Theodore W. Martin of the International divorce commission was speaking before the W. C. T. U. of Richmond. "If the young bride and bridegroom would live up to their original resolves," Mr. Martin went on, "divorce would disappear. "The young bride and bridegroom marry with the resolve to share one another's joys and sorrows, ambitions and troubles, hopes and fears, but too often all they share, alas. Is one another's hair brushes and towels and "squabbles."
