TWISTED sPIRE ON A CHURCH.
According to the Legend Beautiful
Woman or the Devil Caused It.
I'm the Philadelphia Record.

FROM the Phlladelphla Record.
The parish church at Chesterfield,
England has a curious spire. Instead
of being perpendicular it is bent and
twisted, so that the spire deviates from
the perpendicular some six feet to the
south and four feet to the west.
Stories and legends relating thereto
are numerous and interesting.
One tells that pretty and virtuous
women We're exceedingly scarce in the
town, so scarce that when one day a
good and lovely woman stepped within
the church to be married. the steeple
was astonished and bowed to the bride,
and that the bend was made when at
tempting to regain its original posi-
ton. The legend is still more unkindly
toward the fair sex, for 1t continues
that never will its upright position be
regained until another model woman
is married beneath.
With many legends the Prince of
Darkness is connected, and the best of
these is as follows:
The devil flying over town, and tired
with extra exertion, settled on the spire
to rest. The incense which was being
burnt in the church at the time, was
waited upward, and so tickled the
devils nose that he gave terrible
sneeze. which so shook the steeple that
it was irretrievably twisted. One of
the most intelligent theories put for
ward regarding the twist of the spire
is that the clinging pressure of the
lead may have caused an irregular
subsistence in the timbers, which have
also been powerfully warped by the
action of the sun beating through the
lead on to the greener parts of the
woodwork.
Rumors that the spire was unsafe
have been rife, especially about the
year 1917, when experts who examined
it pronounced it to be in a very unsafe
condition. Public opinion was, how
ever. against its demolition, and the
steeple still stands, one Of the strangest
architectural curiosities in the world.

Crosseto lately had

and Leghorn. Grosseto lately had
waterworks and an aaueduct con-
structcd, but differences arose between
the town authorities and the contrac-
tors as to the quality of the work, and
commission was appointed to settle
the difficulty, with Signor Romanin,
deputy In parliament. as chairman.
Signor Romanin, with the other COM
missioners, two engineers, and some
laborers, the party consisting of thir-
teen persons, sct out one fine morn
ing to inspect the aqucduct. They had
entered path six feet wide, running
between the aqueduct and the river
Ombrone. when they noticed young
man with n double -baiTelled gun some
distance ahead. When they got near
him he brought the gun to his shoul-
der and quietly asked them to get
together 1000 lire at once or he would
fire. The commission nearly tumbled
over backward. but a no one showed
any inclination to fight and the path
was too narrow for flight diplomacy
was brought into play ana an offer
of 100 lire was made. The brigand.
however, treated the offer with scorn.
You are very fine gentlemen" said
he to Romanin, "one of the deputies
who steal millions. Fork cut what
you have about you, otherwise I won't
give you time to say a Hail Mary"
The deputy hastily poured out the con-
tents of his pocketbook on the path
and was allowed to go to the rear.
One commissioner after another was
then called out to do the same, but
the laborers were spared. The party
then withdrew a few hundred yards
back and turning around saw the rob-
Der shake out their pocketbooks and
take the money. Not even 1000 lire
(s200) in the whole pack, barely $50.
I am ashamed to to have had anything
to do with you!" he shouted at them,
turned his back on them, and soon
disappeared in the swamp thickets.
The commission then went back pick
ed up its emptied pocketbooks, and
retuInd to Grcsseto, refusing to con-
tinue the inspection of any more Of
that aqueduct.
