JUDGE Old Sol A Bedtime Story for Hottentots O.L. is the name given the Sun * god because his subjects are so often Sure Outa Luck. He is very puritanical and if he catches any one going about inadequately clad he straight plague which is a raw deal, and woe sends his red to the man upon whose shoulders the curse falls. In order to placate the injured deity, one has to anoint one’s self with ointments, unguents and unguentines and groan, ‘’Sol over with me.” So dread is this god that all over the world men have erected temples to him which they call awnings, and so long as one stays within the shadow of the temple all is jake. But so great is the call of the foam that time and again men and women are lured down to the sea in slips, and then it is that Sol gets in his dirty work. So keep shady of the old fellow, dear little ones, he will not spare you. In fact he is such a tyrant that even his very own children jibe one another with “Sol’s your old man.” George A.
