SATAN A LANDLORD.
Finland Real Estate Legally Possessed By
Satan.

Satan.
There Is but one spot on the earth'H
surface, as far as "Ye Curious Man"
knows, that has been really and truly
willed, decided and bequeathed TO his
Satanic majesty. This sometime-to-be
sulphurous spot lies four and half
miles south Of Helsingfors, Finland. A
few years ago, says the st. Louis Re-
public, Lars Huolarinen died In the little
town Of Pielisjarvi, In the above named
country, leaving considerable property
In the shape OF real estate. How he
had come into possession of 80 much
land no one seemed TO know, but as he
was a very bad citizen II was generally
admitted that he was In league with
Wihtahausu (the devil), and that they
had had many business deals with each
other. This somewhat startling opinion
was verified when old Huolarinen died,
for, upon opening his will, the magis-
trate found a certified warranty deed
inclosed therein which decided TO the
devil all OF his (Huolarinen's) earthly
possessions. The will was 10 the same
effect The family have repeatedly
tried TO break the will, but so far have
been unsuccessful; thus the records
plainly show that his sulphuric majesty
has legal right and title TO some ex-
cellent grounds In the near vicinity of
both Helsingfors and Prielisjarvi The
simple people Of the neighborhood have
changed the course Of the road which
formerly sldrted the HuolArinen homo
stead, and declare that they would not
enter upon the possessions Of Satan q
Co. for all the money that three such
estates would bring, Although no liv-
ing person had passed the threshold
since the old man died the mansion is
said TO be brilliantly lighted every night.
and many curious stories are told Of tho
uhearthly frolics the devils have on this
their only known landed possessions.
