PAGE FOUR -- THE DRYDEN OBSERVER NOVEMBER 24th, 1039 MOTHER " SHIPTON'S PROPHECIES Because of the uncanny manner in which the prophecies of Mother Ship- ton have been coming. to pass during recent vears, considerable attention has been attracted 'to this strange creature of four centuries ago. Even those who have in 'the past scoffed at the weird predictions of this an- cient witch, they are now stirred by curiosity to wonder what will occur in this connection. Mother are told, was Lorn in Yorkshire, England, in July, 1488, and died about 1559. In books of information she is described as a Shipton, we half mythical . English prophetess, haptized Ursula Southiel, who latev married Tony Shipton, a builder. Aec- cording to traditions, she was the child of Agatha, Shipton and the devil. ! The following extracts from her amazing prophecies were taken from a scrapbook made mare than forty years ago and owned hy a Rochester woman: "A house of glass shall' come to pass In merry England, but alas, War will follow with the work In the land of the Turk. And state and state in fierce strife Struggle for each other's life. Carriages without horses shall And accidents £ill: the world with woe. In London; Primrose Hill shall be And the centre of Bishop's see. Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Through the hills men shall ride And neither horse or ass astride. Under water men shall walk, Shall ride, sleep, shall talk. Iron in the water shall float 50 shall As easily as a wooden boat. God shall be found and shown In the land that's now unknown. Tire and water shall wonders do And England shall admit a Jew.: Three times three shall lovely France Be led to dance a bloody dance, Before her people shall be free-- Three tyrant rulers shall she see, Tach springing from a different dyn- asty; And when the last great fight is won England and France shall be as one. And now a word in uncouth rhyme Of what shall be in latter time. In those wonderful faroff days Women shall get a strange old craze To dress like men, and breeches wear And cut off their beautiful locks of hair, And ride astride with brazen brow As witches do on broomsticks now. Then die and marriages love shall cease And babies That wives and sucklings so decrease. shall fondle cats and dogs And men live much the same as hogs. In eighteen hundred and ninety-six Build your houses of rotten sticks, Tor And fire and sword sweep over the land And In fear then shall mighty wars be planned, those who live the century through and trembling this will do. Ily to the mountains and to the glens Tor tempests will rage and: oceans : will roar And Gabriel stands on sea and shore; And as he toots his wonderous horn, 01d worlds shall die and new be born. In the air men shall be seen, In white, in black, in green; Now strange, but yet 'they 'shall be -true, - The world upside down shall be And gold shall be found at the roots of a- tree; Through hills 'men shall ride And horses nor ass be at his side. ® x = : Hxplaining the Primrose Fill line: At the time the prophecy was utter- ed, Primrose Hill was two miles from London. Now it is nearly in the heart of London, but: a.short distance from Regent's Park. a READ THE ADS--IT PAYS. : Ty RN EN N CN YI IO a CY CO CT WO A 4 OE Sn Yr Bo PE 0 0 ); Con Mulvey ol Osborne Western Sales Book COUNTER SALRS BOOKS Carbon Leat and in Astomatis Styles Resistors @Wartesn Node lor Wartern Trade?

The all-British train is attracting great popular enthu- siasm throughout Canada on its return journey to Montreal. Montreal's "million dollar hole" on Dorchester street, where a rail way terminal was to have been built, will become the world's most costly sunken garden, if Canada sees eyes to eye with a couple of Montreal aldermen who advocate beautifying the gash with flowers and shrubs.

They are Sema- rang, Java; Boeleleng and Padang Bay, Island of Bali; Penang, Straits Settlements; and Zambo= anga, in the Sulu Archipelago. In making a choice between transportation by rail and by road, shippers should consider what the railroads are doing and have done for their advantage, G. G.

CO-OPERATIVE - NOTES One of the fundamental principals of the Rochdale Plan is "Cash Sales." In England up to a short time ago, credit at the Co-operative Store was unknown and the growth of the Movement there is proof of the wis- dom of the policy. But in | Canada the principle of cash only is somewhat difficult but not impossible to apply. On acceunt of fluctuating employment and the seasonal income to the farmers, some people cannot pay cash at all times. This condition can only be blamed on the present Capitalist methods. The Credit System is often abused by both Creditors and Debtors. When a storekeeper gives credit he is tak- ing a risk that the debtor will never pay and he is certainly ' entitled to extra, remuneration. He. therefore charges a higher price to everybody. If he makes bad - debts he loses so much capital and naturally wishes to regain his losses from his good cus- 'tomers. In this way those who meet their obligations to the storekeeper replace the losses made on those who do not; by paying a higher price. On| the other hand if all business were conducted (on a cash basis, the ex- change of goods and cash could be made a mutually fair transaction. Next week I hope to commence to deal 'with the arguments for and against credit, so far 'a8 the Co- operative is concerned.--8.V.R.
