THEY RULE WEATHER
METEOROLOGICAL SAINTS IN
MANY COUNTRIES.
Legends Of st. ewlthin and Other
Good Men Of Ancient Days Who
Supposedly Influenced Sun
shine and Rain.

In the early summer many nations
commemorate saints who are popu-
larly supposed to have an influence on
the weather. The principal form of
the belief is that whatever the wealth
er may be on this particular saints
day SO 1t will be for the next 40
days. Among English-speaking peo-
pie the day is July 1, and the saint
is st. Swithin, the Philadelphia Rec
ord says. The old rhyme is well
known:
St. swithin's day. IL thou dost rain,
For 40 days il will remain.
st. Swlthins day. IL thou be fair,
For 40 days twill rain nae mair.
st. Swithin was native of Win
chester, who lived about the year 500
and finally became bishop of his city.
His life was exemplary and after his
death the miraculous properties of his
tomb became so well known that his
body was installed in gorgeous
shrine in the new cathedral The
ceremony took place on July Is, 971.
SO that this date is really the feast of
the translation of st. Swithin. For
while the cathedral was dedicated to
him, but Henry VIII. stripped him OF
that honor. He is buried in the choir
Of the present church.
There is nothing in st. Swithin's
history that would make him influen-
tial with the weather, and the same
statement applies to most of the other
saints who have had such honors
thrust upon them.
In Germany they have similar be-
lief concerning the seven sleepers of
Ephesus. whose day is July 81: while
in Belgium the honor Is given to St.
Godelieve, July 2S. In other places
June Is, st. Vitus' day, and July 4,
the translation of st. Martin, are ac-
credited with meteorological infiu-
ence. In the United States many peo-
pie think 1t always rains on July A,
which is an odd coincidence with
these ancient beliefs, though any con-
nection between them is highly i'm
probable. Ii France they have two
days which decide the next 40 days
weather-St. Medard's day, June 5,
and SITS. Gervais and Protais day,
June 49, They also have proverb
similar to ours, which might be trans
lated:
II 1t rains on the day of st. Medard
For 40 days twill rain right hard;
If on SITS Gervais and Protais,
Twill also rain for 40 days.
They tell of ST. Medard quaint le-
gend which is worth repeating. 1t
seems he was driving cart contain
ing a number of people, when rain be-
gan to fall Every one was wet
through except Medard, who was shell
tered by great eagle, which came
swooping down from the sky and made
itself self-propelled umbrella.
1t has been suggested in explana-
tion of these beliefs that in the days
before Christianity our Teutonic an
cestors had some feast, possibly NOV
able, which was believed to affect the
weather. This pagan festival was so
deeply sunken in the minds of the
people that 1t survived the antagon-
ism of the missionaries and preach
ers and took on Christian appear
ance by becoming connected with
some saint revered in each district.

In Last Year

have been secured by any other than
lifelong journalist.
Realizing the strained condition
that the treasury of the Commercial
Club was likely to be placed in
through carrying out methods adopted
last year with satisfactory results,
without consulting the executive com
mittoe, | in July dismissed the stenog-
rapher and assistant and took upon
myself the entire work. In addition TO
this the collections were forced upon
me through inaction Of the finance
committee. thus unfitting me to a
great degree for the work am EN-
ployed to do
The fact is, reader, If had not the
substantial upbuilding and good of
Chickasha-my ideal of a location for
great commercial and industrial city
$50 much at heart, would have long
since been looking for an opportunity
to let loose
View the situation as you may, II
Chickasha rises to that position in city
building possible for her to reach
Where that every property owner
in the city may within a year or two
see his property advance from one to
five fold its present value for small
per cent spent of the entire city valu-
alton of Chickasha's holdings through
Commercial Club lines,-
Everybody must awaken to their in
diyidual interests.
Lawton's Commercial Club dues
pledged for this year amount to over
$4,000; Shawnee is spending over $12.-
OO0 through its Commercial Club, and
Wichita Falls. Texas, which has bat
10000 people, has Chamber of Com
merce membership which pays in dnes
over $4,000, f.s
The fact isc the. citizens Of Chicla-
sha have got to wake up at one 10
their duty to self and fireside and help
III the work of placing dollars in their
pockets by contributing to the fund
that is devoted to this purpose, or
there will come over the city such a
stagnation as win make them wish
they had.
The progressive citizens who have
carried the load, both through labor
and purse, have become very weary
and are liable to @lay down" at any
turn now, if the do nothing citizens Of
the past continue in their blind indif-
ference.
Hoping that this may not only ex-
plain in part the cause of Commercial
Club weak points, ] remain as ever

asha, yours respectfully,

Neatly Tied Shoes.

Nothing is more untidy nor more
troublesome than shoe laces that slip
and become united This can SO cas-
fly be prevented that it is the more
inexcusable. If lace has one loop
pulled through the bow that is tied in
the usual way and is then given a
firm pun it will rarely become un-
done. If ordinary mohair laces or
even silk ones are slightly waxed they
stay tied much longer. Should the
metal end come off either a shoe or

TOTAL NUMBER OF

Is Estimated At About One Hundred.
While About Sixty Are Still
Missing.

NEW OI,LaANS. September 23.-
Following Tie .ast several days, every
one of "h.. was marked by the
receipt of news telling of further
casualties as a result of the gulf
coast hurricane last Monday, there
was lull today in the reports which
have been pouring into New Orleans
from the storm swept sections OF
Mississippi and Louisiana.
Those who are known to have lost
their lives as a result of the hurri-
cane now number less than sixty, and.
although equally as many more are
reported as missing, it is not be-
lieved that the total death list will in
clude more than one hundred names.
After battling with the West Indian
hurricane for five days off Contov
Island, northeast of Vera Cruz. Mexi-
co, the fruit steamer Orleanian tied
up at her wharf today, battered and
badly crippled as the result of the
encounter.
Capt Jerome Marullo was removed
from the steamer to hospital immed-
lately on arrival at the wharf, with
three ribs broken and badly wound
ed leg, received when he was thrown
against the rail of the bridge when
the gale was at its highest.
The Orleanian sailed from Cieba

College vii! Entertain,

Prof. Thames, of the South Missis-
ippi College. has expressed a desire
to give a college entertainment in
honor of the visitors, but the program
for this event has not yet been ar.
ranged. 1t is certain, however, that
the entertainment will be given, and
1t is more than probable that the
Auditorium will be chosen as the place
instead of the College, as the former
place is more convenient of access to
larger number of people and it is
desired that as many as possibly can
will be present on this occasion.
