Good Story Explains Why His Satanic
Majesty Can Not Endure Sight
Of Horseshoe.

Tradition has not designated the
manner Of hanging the horseshoe; 1t
has no such influence In this respect
as the crescent moon Is supposed to
have upon rainfall, by pouring out or
retaining luck. The superstition Is Of
the vintage of mortality plays in Mer'
RE England, and is part of the folk
lore of the farm in feudal times; the
horseshoe frightens tile devil away.
The story runs that the devil, driven
out of the fertile country into the
rocky hills by the good people, found
one hoof worn to the quick by the
sharp stones. Limping in pain to a
village smithy, he terrorizes the smith
at night into fitting him with an iron
shoe. The canny smith in friendly
chat finds his customer much the same
as the general run Of the peasantry'
Emboldened by the roaring of his forge
fire and the ring Of his hammer on the
anvil, he drives all the nails but one
IN the usual manner, clinching them
in the hoof; then, asking his confding
client to put his hoof on the floor that
he may Judge the fit, with a mighty
blow he drives the last nail right
through the shoe deep into the oaken
floor.
Leaving the raging devil a prisoner
he goes to summon the villagers to
dispatch him.. This strategy did no,
succeed. for the terror-strIcken dew
In his struggles wrenched off the shot
and with bleeding hoof In great pair
escaped to continue his evil practices
But to this day whenever ne sees
horseshoe hung up he fees the place
In shame and fright.

CHAPTER VI.
1amada Talks.

It was an hour from the third meal
Of the day. Tamada was juggling the
food for three messes, and he was do
ing 1t with the calm precision of one
who has every detail we'll mapped out
and is moving on schedule. The boy
Sandy was not there, probably en-
gagged in laying the table for the hunt
ers' mess, Rainey imagined.
Tamada regarded him with eyes
that did not lack certain luster, as
a sloeberry might hold 1t, but which.
beneath their hooded lids, revealed
neither interest, nor curiosity, nor
friendliness. They belonged in his un-
wrl. killed. face, they were altogether
neutral. Yet they seemed covertly to
suggest to Rainey that they might, on
occasion, fame with wrath or hatred,
or show the burning light of high in
telligence.
"Tamada,' he queried, "you think l
am your friend, that | would rather
help you than Otherwise?"
II think that-yes?" answered the
japanese without hesitation and with
out servility. "You are not hating me
because you are Californian and !
Japanese" he said. 81 know that"
There was little time to spare. and
there was likelihood Of interruption,
so Rainey plunged into his subject
without Introduction.
"They promised you a share Of this
treasure, Tamada?" he asked.
"They promised me that, yes"
"They do net intend to give 1t to
you. You may have guessed this, but
am sure Of it. |, too, am promised
some of the gold, but they do not in.

ing ways of entertaining a New Years
party, but the favorite Of all Is the
masked dance or party, and the most
interesting way Of having this sort Of
entertainment is to- give ghost party.
The invitations read in this manner:

Well look for you, you Know,
To help to make things 60,
And incidentally to meet
Some ghosts you're sure to know.
There should be 20 or more guests,
and after the invitations have gone
out, the hostess has q little private
chat with her guests over the tele.
phone. She requests them to come
dressed to represent some famous per.
son now dead, pantomime, words, ges'
lures and costume being used to carry

Strength shall be given for the task, my

And Joy to fill with beauty every hour;
Life, too, shall glow with heightening

And through 1t all a roundelay Of cheer,
OF faith and hope will ring out gay and

Until it seems your pathway Is all

And song, and you are rich in dream

All, these shall be the gifts Of the New

May gladness be your share and sweetest
smiles
OF those you love, the wide worlds
good will, too,
And may new riches quickly come to

Should any sorrows drift across the
miles,
Nav sunshine gloss them Ger with

MERIDIAN WANTS
 BUILDING AND LOAN

Meridian, Miss, May 14.-(Special) )- Steps which willlinsure the organiza- tion of building and loan association in Meridian have been taken as the result of mass meeting of citizens held in the board of trade rooms. A comm ttee has been named by Presi- dent o. L. Mckay of the board of trade to give proper publicity to the proposed organization, secure subscrip- tions and then hold a meeting of the stockholders to go into permanent or ganization.
 The members of the committee are Allan McCants, J. E. Reed Kirk Hughes, Bob Malone, w. E. Kimbrouuh, H. M Quin. Ben l. Rapport, c. M. Lawrence, o. c. Morgan, M. H. Hall and c. w. Hayward. Already a num- Der of voluntary stock subscriptions have been made running from S1 1.o0o to $2,000, but it was announced that no subscriptions were to be taken until all necessary details had been worked out by the committee.
 It is argued that with the organ. ization of building and loan asso- citation in this city there will be many new homes constructed and that much of the present unemployment in Meri 1. ian will disappear.

Your Admiral Sampson was the ranking of ficer of your navy present He did not rise, and evidently did not intend to speak until several naval officers by nudges and suggestions conveyed to him the information that he ought to respond to the speech of the British admiral. Finally he rose, looked about

BUTLER COUNTY IS ABOUT TO SEE NEW
 EDUCATIONAL ERA

Greenville, May f4.-- Special )-The patrons of the Burt Waller Blalocl and Springville schools held joint meeting recently in the interest of a consolidated school to care for the pupils of the three communities. Over S5 taxpayers were present at the meeting and were very enthusiastic over the proposed consolidation.
 Prof P. B. Pepper, county superin- tendent of education, was present and he was requested by the people to draft a petition calling for an election for a special school tax to care for erecting the new building, etc. The petition was signed by every person present and the whole assembly were very enthusiastic over the proposition.
 Butler county is about to see the dawning of a new educational era," said Prof Pepper in telling of the meetinn
