HORSESHOE LUCK.
An Old Myth That Coos Back to che
Greeks and Their Sea God.

An Old Myth That Coos Back to The
Greeks and Their Sea God.
OF all the emblems for good fortune
the horseshoe stands among the first.
Everybody knows it is unlucky to pass
horseshoe on the road without pick
ing it up. 1t is a luck emblem of the
greatest power. We are indebted for
this statement to old tales centuries In
age that have descended from father
to son, from mother to daughter,
through the years.
The old myths repay research. The
luck Of the horseshoe has a most re-
spectacle beginning. 1t is traced to the
religion of the old Greeks and their sea
god, Poseidon, who was identical with
the Roman sea god Neptune.
TO Poseidon horses were sacred, and
to him they were sacrificed. Poseidon
was believed to have created the first
horse when he struck the ground with
his trident and horse sprang from
the hole, which afterward became a
spring. The sea god was the lord Of
springs. To him all springs were
ascribed. In the shape Of horse he
sometimes wandered by the shores of
his ocean domain, and where he struck
his hoofs deeply there the waters gush-
ed out and permanent springs We're
found. This is the reason why horse
shoes are reckoned lucky. Going to the
root of the matter, one sees nature
myth as the root principle. From the
sea all rain comes. and to the sea all
springs owe primal origin. and to the
rain and the fresh waters, sea derived,
we owe all fertility on earth.
The old Greeks therefore worshiped
Poseidon as the fortune giver through
his springs. They gave him horses, his
precious beasts, and they adored the
footprints Of horses when they found
them, for they might be the very foot
prints of the god himself.
When the horses came to be shod the
transition of the luck emblem from the
footprint itself to the shoe mark, prac-
tically the same thing, was easy.
Pegasus. the winged horse, from
whose hoofs the water springs gushed
copiously when he came to earth, has
Seen credited with the origin Of the
horseshoe luck.
The horseshoe was specific against
earthquakes. 1t would keep house
safe from harm by earth shaking.
Again one perceives the sea myth
Poseidon was the shaker Of the earth.

teach everything, from the alphabet
to the differential calculus. We are
especially proud of our churches and
schools.
Last year the city completed a
sewer system which serves the larger
part of its population. This done, it
has now entered upon a scheme for
street paving which will not be stop
ped until all the principal business
and residence streets are asphalted.
Harlan's people are progressive, and
demand the best when an improve
ment is made.
BUSINESS HOUSES AND HOMES.
1t is perhaps unnecessary to say
much of the character of the city's
buildings and improvements. A splen-
did $4,000 cut stone court house
stands within the public square, the
citys center. On the four sides of
the square and for number of blocks
each way lie the business houses of
the city. These are almost wholly
of brick and stone, enthusiastically cor.
rect and sufficient for the needs of
business. Back of these, and extern
ding to the city's circumference, are
the homes of it's citizens. These con-
sist of brick, stone and frame, and
are the equal of, if not the superior,
Of the homes of Iowa cities of Har-
lan's class. These homes stand amid
groves of elms and naples and upon
lawns of splendidly kept blue grass,
and have earned for the city the
reputation of being one of the very
prettiest in the whole middle west.
BIGGEST THING YET.
The biggest thing that has come
Harlan's way since its founding is
the Interstate Associated Colleges
It is expected to make this institution
the prototype of the great school al
Valparaiso, Ind, and there is every
reason to believe that Pres. Hoff anG
his assistants, aided by the progress
sive citizens of Harlan, will succeed
In their endeavors. When this shall
be- done there is every reason to be-
lieve that the population Of the city
will have increased to five, seven, tel
thousand. We feel sure now is the
best time in the history of the cit,
in which to buy property. The In
creased demand for homes will boos
all real estate prices considerably.

Grange Held COnfab and Ban
quet to Discuss Development

Last Friday evening the board OF
directors Of the Charlevoix Board OF
Commerce aud few other gentlemen
interested in the developing OF Char

OF the East Jordan Board OF Trade "a
visit them and, at an informal banquet
talk over the plans Of the West Mich

order by President Squiers, of the
East Jordan Board OF Trade. who ex-
plained the purpose Of the meeting
and called upon ID. S. Payton, one of
the directors of the Bureau, to explain
the plans of the Bureau, what was
asked OF East Jordan. and what had
already been accomplished la collect
ing statistics, etc.
Mr.. Payten said that statistics had
been gathered Of the schools, churches
secret organizations, telephones, rural
routes, lands, ETC., and~that what the
Bureau now wished was the collecting
Of farm scenes and the products Of
Charlevoix county. A very interest
ing and animated discussion took
place, questions being fired at Mr..
Payton from every direction which he
PI0yed himself fully prepared to
answer. The question of the co-opera-
tion OF the oranges was brought up
and FL. L. Olney and Martin Rhulng
OF the executive committee and Glenn
NJ -. Dubois, pomona lecturer. assured
the business men present. that the
grange was-the pioneer I'm the move
ment and would lead the procession.
At the conclusion of the discussion,
President Squires assured Mr. Payton
that East Jordan was prepared TO pay
over the sum asked for and perform
her share of the labor involved.
Thus another link was forged in the
chain which binds the East Jordan

ness mems associations together with
the farmers, all working together for
Charlevoix county, all the time.
1t IL hoped to have meeting OF all
four organizations in short time aud

He was among The Herald's callers
Friday, and in Quilting his policy
answered the following two queries
which will be Of information TO the
pupils and patrons Of our public
schools.
What is your attitude toward ath-
letics?"
Education is three-fold-moral, in
tellectual and physical. Athletics SO
far as they contribute to proper
physical development are to be en-
ceuraged, unless they hinder the mere
important phases Of our work. We
hope to find that our boys and girls
will take wholesome interest ia
athletics that promote interest in
study and maintain the prestige and
credit of our schools"
Should the High School be chiefly
a preparatory school for the universi-
ty?'
No. The High School is properly
the peoples college. The majority of
our pupils must complete their school
training in the high school. Each
years work should be as practical as
may be. The preparatory courses are
practical as foundation courses. The
commercial course In our high school
should be strengthened and extended.
A good chemical laboratory should be
equipped"
