Is AGAIN ON 1T WEARY
ROUND.
Lake Charles American-Press.1
Printed by request of q subscriber
to the st. Tammany Farmer:
Country papers throughout the
United States are printing what Is
alleged to be a letter written by
Christ. In this letter was an injunc-
ton that it should be published to
the world by whoever found it. to-
gether with the statement that mis-
fortune and bad luck would follow
the person having possession of it
In the event that it was not given
publicity. There was likewise q
promise that whoever may have a
copy of this in his or her possession
will prosper and be followed by good
fortune.
Denver Weekly Post has received
some hundreds of requests to print
this letter, SO If it will relieve the
superstitious fears of any one, here
it is:
According to the history Of the
letter it was written by Christ just
after His crucifixion, signed by the
angel Gabriel, 80 years after the Saw
ior's birth, and presumably deposited
by him under a stone at the foot of
the cross. On this stone appeared
the legend. Blessed is he who shall
turn me over. .
No one knew what the inscription
meant, or seemed to have sufficient
curiosity to investigate until the stone
was turned over by a little child, and
the letter which follows was dis
covered:

day shall be cursed. / command you
to go to church and keep holy the
Lords day without any manner Of

spend your time in bedecking your
