WHY THE HORSESHOE
BRINGS GOOD LUCK

Do you know the German fable of the
horseshoe? The Chicago Horseman
prints this story: 'In the olden times,
in a little village Of Germany, a black
smith was hard at work. The sound of
the anvil attracted the attention of the
devil. He saw that the smith was maxi
ing horseshoes and thought it would be
good idea to get his own hoofs shod.
So the devil struck a bargain and put up
his foot. The smithy- saw with whom he
was dealing and nailed on a red-hot
shoe, driving the nails square into the
hoof of the devil. The devil then paid
him and left; but the honest blacksmith
threw the money into the fire, firmly be-
lievlng it would bring him bad luck.
Meanwhile the devil walked some dis
tance and began to suffer the greatest
torture from the shoes. The more he
kicked and danced and swore. the worse
the things nurt him. Finally, after he
had gone through the most awful agony,
he tore them off and threw them away.
From that time forward, whenever he
saw horseshoe he would run away few
erishly, anxious to be out of sight Of the
things that had tortured him So"
The German peasantry all believe this
story today, and one can scaScely find
doorstep or a barn that hasn't horse
shoe nailed above it.

MANSFIELD FANS NEED

Paul Sturges. owner of the Mansfield
franchise in the O. & =. league, is not
worrying much about the situation there
since he was informed that he could not
drop out of the Ohio State league.
Here is what he has TO say about it
in the Mansfield News:
Paul Sturges, owner of the Mansfield
franchise, stated that he did not attend
ne Ohio State league meeting at Column
Dus and did not know what was done
nor did he care very much. The Ohio
and Pennsylvania league magnates
granted me, not Mansfield, a franchise to
play where I saw tit. 1t is dog in the

are forced to go to Shelby or Ashland to

Silas Carriers Romance

BY Carl Jenkins

There was nothing wrong about
Silas Carter. He was a strapping
young man who worked I'm a sawmill
and ate three square meals a day.
When evening came he sat down to
store his mind with knowledge. Ne
couldn't borrow Shakespeare or
American history and, In consequence
lac borrowed romances. They were
not eactly dime novels. They related
mostly to knights and ~cheval,ers and
rescues Of distressed damseis.
After reading for two or three
years Silas got the idea that he was
. c%hevalier, and that the distressed
damsel would Don or later heave
into view. He didn't say anything
about 1t. 1t might be that he wasn't
a chevalier, and It might be mat the
distressed damsel would be detained
on the road.
One night when he was calling IN
Miss Eunice Bebee, the daughter OF
a villager, he casually observed:
"Eunice, ! love you and want you
to be my wife"
81 will" she replied.
Eunice had known Silas for a long
time. and had come to realize that
she loved him, and why shouldn't she
have answered that way? Why blush
and stick a finger in her mouth and
reply that she would see her father
about It? She did just as n plain.
sensible girl always does under the
circumstances-she waited for Silas
to say more.
He began and ended right there.
II the distressed damsel appeared he
would tell Eunice that he had
changed his mind; II she didn't then
they would get married some day.
Eunice continued to be a good, plain
girl, and Silas kept his eyes open
for What was coming.
1t came II July day. A young
lady from the city, stopping at n sum
mer hotel in the village, came down
to the mill pond to fish. Silas was

logs about. and after a time ne heard
n scream. He ran for the water and
was in time to pull a very wet and
frightened girl out by the hair.
When she could speak she called
him a hero and said he had saved her
life and won her eternal gratitude.
She was the distressed damsel and
he the hero-thc chevalier. There
could be no two ways about that. lie
was invited to call at the hotel and
receive further thanks. and the drip
ping damsel took her departure.
Silas Carter called. He was braced
up by the heroic deed he had done,
and he felt very important when he
found himself in the presence OF a
young lady wearing diamonds and
fine clothes, and almost smiling at
the fresh grease on his boots. lie
didn't know exactly what to do with
his hat. hands and feet, but he slowed
them away somewhere and modestly
said that he stood ready to rescue a
damsel every day In the week.
lie was thanked and thanked, and
the damsel said she could never for.
get him. She even went so far as to
give him her address in the city and
say that she would be pleased to hear
from her hero-occasionally. In get.
ting off the hotel veranda Silas fell
over a Widows poodle dog and rolled
down the steps. but he was none the
less a hero in his own eyes for this.
He had read that they occasionally
took a tumble and were none the
worse for It. That evening when he
went over to see Eunice he said:

ago to marry me. didn't II"
