Is 1t true that Clovis called upon
Jesus Christ to help him win vic.
tory, promising to be baptized?
Clovis, King of the Sale Franks, In
492 or 49S, married Clotilda, Chris
tian, and through her earnest per,
suasion he permitted their son to Re
baptized, In a battle, when he saw
that he was losing. he called OH his
wife's God, and promised to be ,ban,
tiled if he won. He won; and true
to his word was baptized, and with
him 5000 of his warriors embraced
Christianity.
Is it true that Queen Isabella of
Spain in the fifteenth century perse-
cuted the Jews and Moors to make
Spain a Catholic country?
The history of this case is long and
rather involved. We shall try to sum-
marie it. Mohammedanism began in
the East Gin Arabial in the seventh
century. BY the beginning of the
eighth century, the Saracens, (MoEam-
medans), had made great progress
through north Africa, and in time they
conquered all of that section. AT the
time of Isabella, these eastern Sara
Gems, called Moors. mad been weli-es-
tablished in Spain, coming across into
Europe at the Strait OF Gibraltar The
war which was begun in the fifteenth
century, and which was conducted by
lsahella's husband and herself, was
directly aimed at the expulsion of
these unjust invaders. The ones Who
had been responsible for the foothold
obtained in Spain by the Moors were
the Jews; and it was natural that as
a punishment, the King and Queen
should drive out the traitorous Jews
who had helped the invaders 10 over
run Spain. 1t was a political expul-
sion, not a religious persecution. even
though the King and Queen were both
ardent Catholics. We reic" YOU to an

Devil :" At BARN DANCE
SAID TO BE MINISTER EQUIPPED
With BATTERIES-CoULD NOT
WITHSTAND LEAD BULLETS.

The mystery of the Devil, who broke
up a questionable dance in the vicini-
ty of Hutchinson, Mimi, By appear
ing in the middle of the dance floor
with fire streaming from eyes, mouth
and tail, has been solved, according to
a story told by Miss Louise Miller,
who returned last week from visit
with relatives in that part of Mime
sofa. says the Alton, Iowa, Democrat
His Satanic Majesty did not stop
with one disappearance, according to
Miss Miller's report, but appeared at
several barn dances, each time fright
ening the dancers away, until finally
a reward OF. $4,000 was offered among
those who .frequented these dances, to
anyone who would shoot the Evil One
on his next appearance. A fourteen
year-old boy took the dare.
The Devil, shot through the abdo-
men, proved to be human and was
rushed to hospital Where he is in a
critical condition, according to the
report. His satanic costume was
wonderful affair, equipped with cleo
trio batteries to give the effect of fire.
He came down on a rope through the
cupola, spreading terror as he came.
The man who conceived this idea to
put an end to the dance evil, and who
so nearly proved martyr to the cause,
is said to be Methodist minister of
that vicinity.
fTha Substance of this story has
been confirmed by A. L. Richardson of

written by Mr.. G. L. Bartlett Of Bertha,
Iowa, says the Dyersvil1e Commercial

In the course of an effort to obtain

for authority to return to the nation
ais of Germany and Austria all sums
of SIS 900 or less belonging to them and
