New York FOLLOW QUEER OLD CUSTOM Good Friday Ceremonies That , Have Foundations In Charity Are Still Maintained in London. One of the queerest customs to be seen in the queer old city of London is observed on morning of Good Fri day, when' 21 widows of the parish pick up as many bright silVei" ' Six pences, iresh from the mint, from a fiat tombstone in the churchyard and receive as many hot-cross buns. Rahere, the founder sf St. Bartholo mew's, away back in the Twelfth cen tnry, who is credited with having been a merry jester In his unregenerate days, may have laughed at the con tinuance of a custom the origin of which nobody understands, not even the generous-hearted gentleman who hands out the sixpence and the buns, or the thankful ladies who receive them. The custom is "ropt in mistry," as Mr. Yellowplush would say, but tt goes on year by year. One story is that a lady who passed away in the earlier years of the Reformation, anxious that masses should be sata" for her, and knowing they could hot be said pub licly, left money for that purpose to be distributed every Good Friday. She hoped that the poor widows, as they picked up the sixpences from her tomb stone, would offer a silent prayer on her behalf. A Way to Save Him. Willy is a little scamp. He goes from one piece of mischief to another so fast that his mother is worn out and nervous from the strain of con- r tinually extricating him from his pre dicaments. . The last straw .was an In cident that occurred while they were visitinjr at grandma's. . Was it mischief or just curiosity that led Willy to stick his head between two rods of the banister? It was when Willy tried to get his head out and couldn't that the trouble com-' menced. He raised his voice (and the neighborhood). The entire household rushed to his rescue mother leading, with grandma a close second. They tried In every way possible to extri cate the boy's head, but without suc cess. It must have expanded during the moments of its imprisonment. When grandma, with her usual pres ence of mind, ordered, "Get me a saw, quick !' mother broke down complete ly : "Oh, grandma, will we have to cut his head off?" "No," answered "gran, calmly, "just the banister rod." Chi cago Journal. CI O T W "VT X T C 99 OlJ-il-i I U O j combe.
