How st. Martin Rode the Devil.

One of the curious legends preserved in
Homes Everyday Book IS that which
tells the story of St. Martins wonder
full feat of Transforming the devil into a
mule, and then mounting him and riding
to Rome, says the St Louis Republic This
story, remarkable as it is, was formerly
one OF the standard miracle tales In all
catholic countries, and was at one time
belleYed by nine-tenths of the Christian
population of the world. The story some
what modernzed is as follows: st. Mar
TN had been valiant soldier, but hay-
ing given up the profession of war was
elected bishop of Tours. Although a pre-
late of note, he kept neither horses, car
riages nor servants. This being the case.
when he was called to see the pope, he
started for the holy city afoot and alone
AS he was walking quietly along the road
ne was met by the devil, who politely ac-
coSted him with the remark that such
foot journey must be very fatiguing and
rather out of place for such a church dig
nitary. st. Martin well knew the drift
OF his satanic majestys remarks, and. in
order TO put him beyond the power of
doing harm, miraculously transformed
the poor devil into a very common look
ing mule. After performing this miracle
to his satisfaction, the saint mounted the
tiend, who rapidly strobe off in the direc-
ton of Rome. The journey was rather
uneYentful, with the exception that the
devil took occasional "mulish" smells
which only caused the saint to make the
sign Of the cross, which served to goad
the fiend forward until the destination
was finally reached.

They are, however. and very plainly, Moth

them around any of the Indian villages.
In the dizziness Of Alaskan life, every
method or amusement is resOrted 10. Dog
nights are common. and. might say, very
popular. Everybody but the chaplain goes
10 dog tight, and the mere intimatiOn that
a dog ngnt is pending is enough 10 hurry
everybody through his business, so that
ne may be foot loose TO attend On one
or the steamboats, which used TO ply up
and down the Alaskan coast, the officers
had bulldog that weighed about thirty
five pounds, and whose mission il was to
drive away duh care. Whenever the boat
stopped they would let Jack-that was the
dog name-Out on the wharf. and Jack
would tackle the first dog he came 10.
and then there would be night Jack was
a great warrior and won all his battles.
Ana 50 fond was he Of these martial az
fairs that whenever the steamer began
nearing its pier Jack always crowded
anXlously 10 the front at the gangway, and
was the nrst one down the plank and onto
the wharf. Jack was always looking for
a fight, and if he couldn't find one he felt
panied and disconnected.
"One day / was lying asleep in my state
room The boat was at Sitka. One Of the
officers came down and awakened me.
There dog out on the wharf that
looks like wolf he said. One Of the
deck hands has tied him up, and as soon
as the work IS over we're going to turn
Jack loose and let him lick him.
This was very inspiring. as information,

ceremony. Jack was aboard the boat, ana

al the victim, which the men had roped up
and found him a sad tacturn dog; in fact,
one of those Indian dogs which we called
coyotes.
There was no preliminaries, when
Jacks time came. When he was turned
loose he started in a the coyote with the
greatest ardor. The battle didn't last over
thirty seconds, but was the most savage
thing of the kind I ever beheld. At the end
of thirty seconds that despised SLOUGH of
coyote had simply cut the bulldog to
pieces, and he was too dead TO skin. The
boat almost went into mourning about it.
Some Of the bereaved officers who had
been warm friends of Jack wanted to mete
out death to the coyote But fairer senti-
ment prevailed. He had won his battle on
the square ana there was a nine-tenths
vote in favor of his being liberated. He
was thrown loose and lurked off with
sort of hang-dog expression, with his tail
between his legs; as if there wasn't an
ounce of real fight in him. But we looked
at our dead bulldog and knew better"

A new law in Pennsylvania declares
that all typewriting heretofore executed
or done, and all which may hereafter be
done, for any purpose whatsoever, shall
have the same legal force and effect as
ordinary writing. and that the word
writing occurring in the laws of the
state shall be held to include typewriting.
Heretofore it has been required under
the law that wills and all similarly i'm
portant legal documents Of record should
be written by hand with pen and ink. The
legislature seems to have satisfied itself
that typewriting is as reliable and as
permanent as handwriting with pen and
ink. although the machine writing has
not been tested by time as has the hand
writing. 1t may be expected that other
states will follow the lead of Pennsyl-
vania and legalize the work of the writ

BIS Regrets Cnme Too Lntc.

If it were possible to look a little way
into the future and realize the remorse
and mental anguish that would follow
the commission of certain acts how many
tragedies would be averted! For revenge.
or fear of public opinion, or because Of sud
den anger or for other reasons there are
men who do things which cause suffering
and death to others and bring lifetime
of misery to themselves. If they were
blessed with more moral courage, better
nature and had control of their tempers
many deeds that are repented in tears and
agony would be left undone. In our dis
patches the other day there was an ac-
count of tragic occurrence at Enid, Okla
homa, in which two men were killed, one
being Mr.. Williams, the town marshal.
and the other being Mr.. Patterson. the
register of the United States land office.
Register Patterson was from Macon, in
this state, and from all accounts. he was
an exceedingly clever man, whose future
promised to be a bright one
The tragedy was caused by an article

he said; Il shall never cease to regret the

to restore the lives of Mr.. Patterson and
Mr.. Williams 1 would gladly give all I
have on earth and start life anew. have
wished several times since the deplorable
affair happened that one of the leaden
messengers aimed at me had taken mortal
effect"
What a pity it is that Mr.. Isenberg did
not think of the probable consequences
of his article before he published it. What
his motives were in writing and publishing
what he did we do not know, but his act
had terrible consequences. His own re-
morse is so great that he sometimes
wishes that he had been struck by one Of
the bullets intended for him when the af-
fray was in progress.
