vestigating committee today. He re-
ferred al length to the land laws of
Alaska and said Mr. Ballinger had
come into the Office when the Cunning
ham claims had been advanced nearly
to completion. He had no interest di-
rectly or indirectly in any of these
claims. He entered the office with the
single idea to discharge his duty. If
the committee should decide against
Secretary Ballinger, said Mr.. Vertrees
they would have to cast an imputation
upon every man of the interior de-
partment who had anything to do with
the Cunningham claims. The testi-
mony against the secretary was term

Folk lore experts are well nigh
agreed in believing that this game

rites connected with prehistoric wor-

our Gothic ancestors during the Yule-

by drawings in Struts Manners and
Customs" and facsimilies of some old
ones in the Bodlelan manuscripts. In
these the covering for the head is
complete, and represents an animal,
and the game itself is played by
adults. Prof Child connects the game
with the northern Odin, the blind
deity. In Scotland It Is often called
"Blind Hane"-that is, hairy, from the
shaggy animals represented. The
game was not unknown to the Greeks
and Romans. Rudbeck supposes It
was handed down from Bacchus. and
that binding was part Of the Bac-
chanalian orgies.

OLD ITALIAN FEAST
is THAT IN HONOR OF HOLY
MARY OF THE CHAINS.
Had Its origin In Years Long Past,
Based on Miracle That Neapolitans
Continue to Have Most De.

One OF the oldest and strangest
feasts that take place in Naples is the
one In honor Of Santa Maria della
Catena (Holy Mary OF the Chains)
II occurs the last Sunday I'm August
her. facing the sea at Santa Lucia.
Soon after daybreak crowds OF people
line the embankment opposite the
church, dressed In strange paper cos
tunes, adorned with squibs and crack
ers. some carrying umbrellas OF the
same material and with some adorn-
ments, others large baskets with fruit
decorated likewise with fireworks.
At the first stroke OF the church
bell for early mass the fireworks are
let off, the fruit baskets emptied on
the ground, over the contents OF which
hundreds OF children begin to fight
undaunted by the pals OF water which
are freely emptied over them.
A second bell is the signal for hun.
dreds Of the crowd TO throw them
selves in various states OF dress or
undress from the embankment into
the sea. women and children included.
Ih,Alids even are brought to take a
dip and those who are unable TO swim
are assisted by others. This practice
originated in the faith that the sea
water on the last Sunday in August
is sure remedy against infirmity.
present and future.
The Madonna della Catena is be.
lieved to work the miracle she did cen
turtles ago, when the church was built
in her honor, according TO the follow
ing legend
At the time when the shores OF the
Mediterranean were infested with pi-
rates some inhabitants OF Santa Lucia
were captured by the Turks and a
heavy ransom was demanded for their
release. Some fishermen, with the aid
OF the statue OF the Madonna, which
they had opportunely found near the
seashore, succeeded in collecting the
amount asked for the release OF their
captured friends
The pirates were asked to bring
their prisoners and to receive their
ransom on a certain day, which hap
pened to be the last Sunday In Au-
gust. The pirates. however. fearing
some treachery. but not wishing to re-
turn the prisoners. took them to the
seashore at some distance from Santa
Lucia and having chained them hand
and foot. threw them into the sea.
The people OF Santa Lucia. notwith-
standing the distance and the chains,
succeeded in having them. and attrib-
uted this to miracle OF the Madonna,
In whose name the ransom had been
collected, and in her honor a church
was erected In the year 1915.

"Catch MY Pal"

interesting incident:
One day last July a Presbyterian
clergyman in the city of Armagh, per-
suaded twelve hard drinkers to sign
the pledge. Before parting with
them he said:
"Now, perhaps, each OF you could
bring a pal to my house tomorrow.
and induce him to sign"
"I think I can catch my pal" said

Sentence Sermons ON Faith.

No man ever broke faith with mau
who did not first break faith with
God.
No man ever kept faith with Cod
and deceived his fellow men. No
matter what a mar has. if he lacks
faith, he lacks all; il he can't be
trusted. the more brilliant. powerful,
successful he is, the more he is to be
dreaded. The one fruitful source OF
failure in business and social. life is
unfaithfulness. 1t d~isintegrates the
home. The bonds which hold homes
in peace are eaten off by the acid OF
unfaithfulness. Fruit shows the sap;
work proves the words.
Faithfulness is the fruit and out
working of faith. "Show thy'faith by
thy works" Our claim is that we are
saved by faith in Jesus Christ, but a
faith which does not make faithful is
not a saving faith. You trust Christ,
but do men trust you?
No subtler temptation can come to
mar than to use Gods given power
for self. Many break down, right
here; they are faithful, not to the n
appointing them. but to self. For
this men speculate with trust funds.

Heaven is a place of business be-
cause there all keep faith. When
men are faithful to God as Col is
faithful to men. heaven will be on
earth. Jesus Christ, IN apostle and
priest, was faithful in temptation.
Many men break down when the test

You cannot tell whether the ship will

The Enemy.

The enemy is often mentioned In
the Bible. Men are warned. against
his wiles. Who Is the enemy? Our
Lord does not leave us in the dark.
He says plainly and in so many words
that the enemy is the Devil. Some
theologians and some moralists are
Mortified when we warn men against
the devices of Satan as though he
were a real, personal being. They
tell us that the doctrine Of the Devil
is an exploded fable and that the
Devil Is a myth.
But Jesus did not think so, and
who will say that Jesus was lacking
in intelligence or that He was ignor-
ant of spiritual truth? But some will
say that while He,was a great teacher
He lived a long time ago, and His
words must be interpreted in the light
of the times in which He lived. He
did not mean to teach that there is
real person called Satan, but the peo-
pie of His time believed it, and He
