WHY THE HORSESHOE
n is CONSIDERED LUCKY
KANSAS City start

All superstitious people know that
q horseshoe nailed over a door will
keep out evil and bring good fortune;
that a miniature horseshoe worn as a
watch Charm" or suspended from a
chain around the neck is infinitely
lucky" and that O floral horseshoe
forms a part Of the decorations for
festivities. The efficacy Of the horse.
shoe is well known and can no more
be doubted than can the luck-bringing
qualities or the right hind foot Of a
rabbit caught In graveyard at mid.
night during 'the dark OF the MOON"
When only few iconoclasts will
deny the luck of the horseshoe, not
many OF even the most ardent devo.
tees OF that charm know how or why
1t gained its magical properties. It
was st. Dunstan, the blacksmith, ana
the patron of all smiths and Smiths,
who made the horseshoe lucky.
st. Dunstan was an Anglo.Saxon &c.
clesiastic who lived in the tenth cen.
tury. He entered the Benedictine or.
der at an early age, and when not en-.
gagged in religious duties he was EN-.
ployed as a blacksmith. One day he
was toiling away at the forge, think.
ing doubtless Of heavenly things, when
a shadow fell athwart the doorway.
The saint looked up and whom did he
see? The devil-no less!
Dunstan, serene in his piety and
faith, was not in the least afraid Of
his visitor, who, according to all ac.
counts. looked very much like an or.
binary man, save that he had horns,
a tail and cloven hoofs. The black.
smith inquired OF his satanic majesty
the occasion Of the dubious honor he
had paid him, and the Prince OF Evil
replied that he had, been travelling so
long and so far that his hoofs had be.
come sore and tender, and he desired
10 have horseshoes put on them. Dun.
stan agreed to do the job, and he made
1t as painful as possible for Old Nick.
The devil beloved and reared in rage,
but Dunstan was very strong, and re,
fused to let go of his hoofs until the
evil one had promised that he would
never enter any house where a horse.
shoe was nailed above the door, nor
molest any person who carried a
horseshoe charm.
This legend accounts fully for the
good fortune that is supposed to at.
tach to a horseshoe, btu 1t raises an
interesting question. Satan promised
to respect the horseshoe as a sacred
talisman, but the efficacy of the
charm rests solely on a promise given
by the author OF all evil. It was nearly
a thousand years ago that the devil
entered into that compact, which Is a
long time for even the best Of folks
to remember promise. !
