"A HORSESHOE
 FOR LUCK"

CA horseshoe for 1uck!'' Of all
 prevailing superstitions, that phrase
 sums up one of the most persistent. War correspondents declare that in many of the trenches they have visit ed they have found horseshoes prom inently displayed. to ward off evil.
 Even officers holding important com
 mandS have nailed horseshoeS over the doors of the houses they occupy.
 There is tradition that Nelson had horseshoe fastened to the main mast of the victory, and it is certain that many of the great battle craft of today possess such charms against the menaces to which they are subjected Many of the battleships of the United States navy have been constructed under the protection of a horseshoS displayed in some prominent place. Today is the festival of St. Dun stan, a, tenth century Archbishop of Canterbury, to whom the English at tribute the enshrinement of the horseshoe as a, symbol of good for tune. For centuries St. Dunstan's s
 Day, the nineteenth of May. was cele- brated by tle b1acIsmiths and far
 riers of England in honor of their pa .tron. The smiths organized proces-
 sions at the head of which they car
 ried great floral horseshoes. Up to within a. century ago there were many woman blacksmiths in England These ibrawny feminine Vulcans toiled at their forges stripped naked to the waist, and in a similar state of un-, dress they marched in procession on the day dedicated to St. Dunstan. The French also attribute occult and magic powers to the horseshoe, but with them it is the emblem, not of St. Dunstan, but of St. Eloy, the pa tron saint of French farriers.
 The biography of St. Dunstan, the patron of smiths and farriers, as set forth in monkish legends, is most re- markab1e and romantic He was of noble birth and received an excellent education, becoming a young man of
 brilliant parts. At the court of Athelstara he was for @ time a favor fte, but at length his tricks of par Tor magic" in which he was an adept,
 resulted in his being driven from court, and great indignities were heaped upon him in the Felief that he was a wizard who ht~d sold his soul to the devil He was mad1y in love with a fair maiden at the court, and his heart was broken by the en- forced separation.
 The young man sought refuge with his uncle, Elphege the Bald, Bishop of Winchester. and was induced to enter the service of the church as a monk Finding that the monast1c garb effected no immediate change in his chara cter, Dunstan determined to subject his body to the stern regi- men of an anchorite. He set up a forge in a. little roadside cell, and toiled early and late as a blacksmith. In spite of toll and fasting the old worldly desires tormented him. On one occasion the Devil visited him in the form of a beautiful woman, and Dunstan was sorely tempted but he bore it until his pincers were red hot, when he used the instrument to seize

lis. Speaking of a study of the re- suits of special court hearings for wo- men's eases in the Indianapolis City Court, and of probation work under the direction of the late Mrs. Eva Payne Hopkins, Mrs. Brown said:
 'tOut of 478 cases investi gated only fortynine were fined Or committed to the jail or correctional department of ing cases, the investigation, disclosed that the facts wouloi not justify i'm prison1nent, and the court either sus- pended the sentence or withheld judgment. As result of the inves- tigation of 328 cases involving domes- tic relations, less than 25 per cent. of the offenders were committed to jail or workhouse. Under this system thousands of dollars were saved to the city and to the offending poor, but the greatest saving was in self-respect courage and hope of the offenders and their uplift to better living.
 Border Line Cases of Mental Defect.
 'tBorderlinity'' is not new disease. It is simply a classification of a; large number of mental detectives who are not capable of passing we'll in ordinary society or even high enough in the so- cial to be called backward, and who yet would not be relegated among the feeble minded. This troublesome class was the theme of an address by T.. O. cal laboratory at the Chicago City Workhouse. He said in part:
 fOur institutional experience leads us to the conclusion that a more ear nest and more thorough considera- ton of the borderline doubtful case by the public school authorities is ab- solutely necessary on one hand and on the other, either the creation of a spe- ciaI department in Institutions for the feeble minded, or the organization of an entirely new type of Institution, such as is now in existence in Ger many, in which these doubtful cases may be studied to determine the eau ses back of the conditio1e''
 Dr. Philip B. Newcomb, clinical di- rector of the State Hospital for. the Insane at Osawatonie, Kan, in the first symposium the National Confer ence of Charities and Correction has had on the temperance question in it's forty-three years of history, said that statistics of insanity in Kansas are of ten distorted by liquor interests and others. No greater amount of gen. araI insanity exists in Kansas than in surrounding or distant wet com monweaIths, pr. Newcomb said.

for seeing people do perilous things. Circus stunts like tight-rope walking are as old as history, and have all ways drawn a crowd. Would people ever turn out to see them if the rope were stretched two feet from the ground? Just as much technical skill would be called for in that case. But the element of control of nerves would be missing. This is largely what the crowd comes, to see.
 Form any years balloon ascensions were the most popular attraction at the county fairs. Today their place has been taken by aviation, which satisfies the same demand. The pub death. It wants them to win out in this competition with the elements, but 1t insists that there be no shirk- ing of risks The fact that the air is squally and full of s.pockets'' does not excuse the aviator, in the minds of the crowd. from failing to make his flights. Yet his safe return under these conditions may be very dubious.
 It is often remarked that the law should stop peri1ous exhibitions like automobile racing. Yet if the racers were stopped on the speedway, they would risk their necks on the public roads, where they would endanger many others beside themselves. They would enjoy taking these chances, and no doubt do it for love of the sport quite as much as for money.
 This is an age of morbid fears. It is rather refreshing, in a time of so many extreme precautions, to see cer- tain types of people who can put aside all tfnnfdfty in the face of death.

LEGION or HONOR


 The famous French order known as the Legion of Honor was instituted by Napoleon Bonaparte, when he was first consul, 114 years ago today, May 1e, 1902. Although this order con- fers honors upon stingtlished civil servants of the state and eminent benefaGtors o9 humanity, it is pro- yided that tnree-fifths of all the medals awarded must go to the offic- CTS and men of the army and navy. Since the outbreak Of the war thou sands of medals 5of the Legion have been awarded to soldiers and sailors and public servants There are now five classes, the grand cross being the highest It's recipients are number ed by hundreds. where as there are fhousands of medals Of the lower classes now being worn The badge Of the Legion of Honor Is a. five ray ed white enamelled star. bearing on the obverse side a female head and the words "RepubIique Francaise, ' and on the reverse side two crossed flags and the words 'sHonneur ct Pa 4r1e-s' Many British and American citfzsns have received the medal of the Legion of Honor, and since the war 1t has also been conferred upon the military leaders of all of the allies Of France.

THE oIRoUs sEAsoN.

One of the joys of summer for the young people is the visit of the circus. As one looks back his childhood, this event is apt to stand out about as sharp as any other, fact slowed away in memory. It was difficult to sleep the night before the great occa- sion, and many youngster has got up several times to see if the stars were out and the morrow would be pleasant.
 To childhood the circus is a scene of glory. The tinsel and beads worn by the performers suggest the magnif1- cence of royalty. and the ancient jokes of the clowns seem the quintessence Iof human wit. The rowing life of the tent seems the most a11uring thing, and most boys long to run away and join the troupe.
 These illusions do not survive the years of youth. But it is 8 pleasure to visit the circus and see the child eyes snap and shine. That is where the parent gets the value of his ad- mission.
