T here Is a quaint trad itio n about how
the belief In tbe m an In tbe moon
originated th a t Is w orth retelling. Like
so m any of these beliefs. It began way
back In Bible tim es and In quite an­
o ther dress. By m any nations tbe old
mnn Is supposed to be th e one who
first m ade his appearance la the book
of N um bers (chapter xv, verse 32).
T hen he w as found by the c hildren of
Israel gathering sticks on the Sabbath
day. H e w as tak en before Moses and
condem ned to death. H e w as taken
late r outside tbe cam p and stoned un­
til ho died. One would th in k th a t was
punishm ent enough eveu for so aw ful
a crim e, b u t superstition took him In
hand a t th a t point and consigned him
to the oibon, whero, w ith a bunch ot
sticks on his tired old back, he was
destined to clim b forever up the shin­
ing hill and never reach tbe top. The
story goes th a t bis fa ith fu l dog was
perm itted to share his fate, and If you
look carefully w hen the n ig h t Is clear
and dark you will see the p air tolling
