were his slaves and must remain subject
to evil forever.
During the celebration of these dances
he ordered that all the evil impulses
which he and his army had introduced
into the world should be loosed and that
lust, drunkenness and debauchery of
every kind should reign supreme.
The dance supposed to have been
originated by the king of the devils was
performed by men and women dressed
to represent him and the various char
acters who had composed his conquering
army. The man who represented death
was dressed in :, long white robe with a
skeleton painted on it.
All the dancers wore large and very

regard to Satan and his malevolent
power over mankind.
Ever since the death of their original
owner the relics of the devil dancers had
been carefully wrapped up and stored in
a little hut which they occupied all by
themselves. Around them there had
grown up among the Indians certain
feeling of mystery and dread and be-
lief that each of the strange masks in
the hut was haunted by the actual devil
it represented and that when the right
opportunity presented itself he might
appear in person. So the uncovering of
the thing and their delivery to DR..
Gam was accomplished by many heather
rites intended to ward off evil conse-
quences.
During the unwrapping of the articles
three black wax candles were kept burn

agreed upon paid the former owner
thoughtfully gave DR.. Gam a couple of
the black candles which he urged him
to keep burning when the devils were
installed in their new home in order to
keep off evil influences!
From a very aged member of the In
dian tribe DR.. Gam managed to get
very good idea of the religious legend
which inspired the devil dances.
According to the legend, many, many
years ago the world was very different
place from what it is to-day. Everybody
was happy and contented, joyful and
glad. Smiles were seen on every face,
and never a scowl or frown or tear
or heartache.
Nobody thought evil thoughts or CON-
mitted evil deeds, nor did they have the
slightest desire to do so. In fact, in
those delightful times there was no such
thing as evil Goodness and happiness
reigned supreme and death was I'M
known.
But the king of the devils who lived
with his court in the hell which the
Mayas called Metnal didn't care at all
for this state of affairs and determined
to change it just as soon as he could.
So the devil organized an army for
New Britain herald. [microfilm reel] (New Britain, Conn.) 1890-1976, 1926-11-19

the conquest Of the world. 1t included
his wife, his father and mother, four
devils whom he regarded as his chief
assistants, boar, five sows, a monkey
and the sinister figure of death.
The members of this strangely as
sorted army all had different methods to
follow in getting the human race under
the devils power. The women men,
bers were to introduce into the world
quarrels, jealousies and lust; the swine,
greed and selfshness; the monkey, mis-
chief, and death was to spread fear
among men.
At this point DR.. Gam says that he
interrupted the old man who was telling
the legend and reminded him that there
were not supposed to be any women in
the Maya hell. The old Indian only
grinned and said, "If there were no
women there would be no hell.''
The king of the devils led his army in
person. 1t visited every village and town
throughout the length and breadth of
the earth and wherever it went its mem
bers amazed mankind with their vulgar
songs, lewd dances and disgusting
drunken orgies. At the same time they
introduced among men everywhere lust,
drunkenness, hatred, greed, dishonesty
and death. At last the whole world was
corrupted and became as we know it
to-day.
But the cunning devil was afraid that
the human race might tire of the evils
he had brought and go back to its previ-
GUS virtuous and innocent ways In
order to prevent this he commanded the
children of men to hold frequent devil
dances as constant reminder that they

and looking something like huge man.
dolin. The four assistant devils pro-
duced harsh noises by scraping on the
ridged sides of long calabashes. The
monkey carried large rattle which he
shook continuously
To the din supplied by these instru-
ments the dancers chanted monotonously
a number of songs of the most vulgar
and obscene character. They also danced
a grotesque dance that frequently was
rather lewd in its suggestion.
The first song sung by the king of the
devils began, 81 am the king of the
devils and | come in victory and in
glory" Before leaving each house in
the village the dancers joined in a song
which ended With the words, 1.-THE devils
are off, but not to hell"
