sTATUETTEs OF ST. JOSEPH.
The ladies of the Louisiana table have
Cor sale very unique statuette OF st.
Joseph. There is pretty little French
story, Collette. founded on the legend of
st. Joseph as the patron SAINT OF Matrimo-
nv. He is supposed to grant request If
petitoned by the aspirant nine nights IN
succession. particularly If the petition Is
for husband or wife. Inc o 81
cacy unless blessed by q Catho-
lie priest and is desecrated and
loses ell power to grant requests II
Touched by any one save ITS rightful
owner. 1t is said that when stood on his
head st. Joseph finds the position so I'M
comfortable that he will grant any petit
remain obdurate mild administration OF
punishment by means Of straw or match
will soon make the old SAINT yield.
When st. Joseph is presented
by one of the sterner sex TO q
lady fair she will have all requests
granted Immediately as long as the ST:
Joseph remains In her possession. Should
she lose this talisman II must be imme-
diately replaced by another staruette pre-
scented by the same donor. Should any
one find the lost s.atuette and return it 10
the lady he IL is who will be her future
husband. The story of Collette is found
ed on this legend. After praying for q
husband during nine evenings and morn
ings Collette becomes angry with the saint
and throws him out of the window. He
strikes young man who Is passing and
Injuries him SO much that be has to be
brought in and tended for many days. OF
course he falls in love with the fair maiden
and narries her.
