A HORSESHOE FOR LUCK.

| Today is the IesJival of St. Dun | stan, a tenth century Archbishop Of Canterbury to whom the English at i tribute the enshrinement of the horse- , shoe as symbol of good 1or'une' 1 For centuries St. Dunstans Day, the nineteenth of May, was celebrated 1 by the blacksmiths and farrlers oi England in honor of their patron.
 The smiths organized processlons or the head of which they carried great floral horseshoes. Up to within century ago there were many women 1 hlacksmiths in England Ihese brawny feminine Vulcans toiled at their forges stripped naked to the waist and in a similar state or un- dress they marched in the procession on the day dedicated to St.. Dunstan. The French also attribute occult and magic powers to the horseshoe, but with them 1t 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,
 remarkable and romantic. He was of
 noble birth, and received an excel
 lent education, becoming a. young
 man of brilliant parts. At the court
 of Athelstan he was for time a
 favoxite, but at length his tricks of
 'parior magic" in which he was an
 adept, resulted in his being driven from the court an'di great indignit-
 ies were heaped upon him in the be- lief that he was a wizard who had
 sold his soul to the devil. He was
 madly in love with fair maiden at
 court, and his heart was broken by
 the enforced separation.
 The young man sought refuge with

 of Winchester, and was induced to
 enter the service of the church as a
 monk. Finding that the monastic
 garb effected no immediate change

in his character, Dunstan determined
 to subject his body to the stern reg imen of anchorite. He set up a forge in a little roadside cell. ana 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 the pincers were red hot, when he used the instrument to seize his fair, false visitors by the nose. at which she fled away shrieking in pain. On another occasion. the devil. in his proper form, stopped at Dunstan'e forge and demanded that the pious smith put shoe on his cloven hoof. Dun stan made the process very painful and would not release his visitor un- til Satan had promised that he would never enter a house which had a horseshoe nailed to the door. Ever since then the belief has been pre- valent that the Horseshoe is 8 charm against tn Evil One-although much confidence is based on faith in the Devil as a gentleman who respects pledges even when wrung from hip~ by torture.

High Schools Items

Last Tuesday the Seniors failed to
appear at school for classes, until
about $50 when the mob arrived to
carry away Mr.. MARBLE, but as his
protests were rather strong, they left
without him, Mrs. Nickles acting as
chaperon. There were three cars be-
longing to Feltens, Nickles and Caves
which carried the happy bunch with
anger in their hearts at Mr.. MARBLE.
They camped at the Bemis ranch and
had dinner which consisted of three
kinds of sandwiches, pickles, coffee,
cookies, bananas and deviled eggs. AT
ter dinner they started out in the
cars for Devils Cave. On the way
having the pleasure of pushing the
three cars out of the sand. Just be-
fore arriving at the cave, the jitney
thought it would play foul and got
stuck in a mud hole and when the
boys got it out they all had the black
measles. After taking pictures and
exploring the cave, the happy Seniors
started for Plainville. A few miles
out of town Nickles' car had a fiat
tire. After the boys worked them
selves up to good hot condition they
started for Plainville, but the tire
would not hold. On entering plain
vile the cars were left at the garage
to be fixed, in the meantime exploring
the town. They left Plainville ex-
pecting to dine on weenies, buns anC
pickles on the Saline, but the Nick
les car again had fiat tire. The
other cars went on as several had to
come to town, saying that they would
get the rest some supper. But the
rest did not see their supper. Mr.
Nickles had to come to the rescue of
the car. The class slogan is: eff we
can't get the faculty we can get the
vice-president of the Board of Educa-
ton"
