HIS SATANIC MAJESTY

CURIOUS OLD LEGENDS CONCERNING THE EVIL SPIRIT. la I'opnlr Folklore the Prince mt Tfraptrrg la Coastantlr Oatwtttcd, and Parts With Illm Are BreVea by the Slaiplest Kspedteata. There is a enrious legend of the devil making his confession in Cologne cathedral. He professes to repent his crimes and to be willing to endure a thousand years of penance. -My son," says the priest, "all you need ia to bow before the image of the Crucified and ask him for pardon." "What:" cries the devil. "He who swept up the chips for Joseph, he who hung on a gallows?" And he turned on his heel, with a curse. In popular legend and folklore the devil is outwitted constantly, contracts made with him are broken, and he is again and again deceived by the simplest expedients as substituting' a lantern for the sunrise. This, If I remember rightly, occurs in the legend of the Devil's Dike at Brighton. As a child terrified by a very different Satan I remember the light brought to my own spirit by some story of the kind. The expedient In this case was cutting the sole out of the shoe which the devil had to 1511 with silver. The shoe was never filled, and so he could never claim his part of the bargain. I remember feeling a thrill of relief at seeing that it was possible to evade and elude him after all. There is an Icelandic legend which is possibly the origin of the proverb. "The devill take the hindmost" He had agreed to instruct seven scholars in all the mysteries of magic for no other reward than that when their seven years' apprenticeship was over he should have as his thrall the last to leave for the last time by the single narrow door. On that fatal day the last to leave literally escaped him eluded him by slipping out of his cloak, whlh the devil had grasped He became a most worthy parisl priest, venerated all over the island As the iron door slammed to it crush ed his heel. The devil Is constantly represente In tradition and folk tales as childis! grotesque, spiteful. With his bellovr he tries to put out fit. Oenevieve's can die as she carries it alight throui.'' rain and wind to church. A very we! known legend is that of St. Dunstnii who. when attacked by him while bus; at the forge, brought the conflict to ai end by seizing the adversary with th redhot tongs. This incident was th most popular pageant provided by th goldsmiths on lord mayor's day, whet the mayor happened to be elected frou their company. The lion and the dragon are the an' mals typical of the devil. It is sai that the ancient idea of the animoslt; between the lion and the cock is th origin of the placing of the weathei cock upon the steeple. A mediaevn rhythm says of the cock. "In noct dum concinat leo perturbatur." am. the Idea was to terrify Satan by the sight of the enemy on the highest point of the sacred building. The dragon was the symbol of the powers of darkness everywhere. In many of the stories of saints delivering a countryside from a devouring dragon the dragon o'jvlously represents paganism destroyed by the labors of the Christian apostle. Up to the French revolution a prisoner was set free at Rouen every year on Ascension day in commemoration of the deliverance of the people from a dragon by St Romain. In Provence St. Martha bound a monster called the tarasque with her girdle so that the people could 6lay him "with swords and glaives;" hence the name Tarascon. In Spain a monster snake, called la tarasca. Is dragged Sn the Corpus Christ! processions to signify Christ's triumph over death and hell. By the way. the Elizabethan Injunctions decreed that in the rogation-tide processions "there should be neither George nor Margaret, but the old dragon to come on alone and show himself." He was believed to have special power over the air, to be continually stirring up thunderstorms and tempests of wind and hail; hence the ringing of the bells during thunderstorms to frighten the evil spirits away. It was by the help of Satan that Simon Magus, according to the early Christian legend, floated in the air till commanded by St Peter to descend. It is significant that Leonardo da Vinci, the typical figure of the renaissance, spent many years of his life in the endeavor to invent a flying machine. The opposition he met with from the clergy and devout people was intense. It is indeed difficult to imagine a more concrete symbol of all that is most opposed to what has bven known historically as the Christian spirit than a flying machine. It must hava seemed a partaking of Lucifer's daring presumption, to be speedily followed by a similar fall. National Review. The Twtliffht Of l,ife. The muscles of the stomach in old ace are not as strong or active as in youth and in consequence old people are very subject to constipation and indigestion.

He is now ready to admit that it is impossible to sidetrack the Nebraskan. When asked for his views in the light of recent developments he said: ' You will recall tho fact that laht tummT 1 wrote several articles, the object of these articles being to blaze the way for some concensus of opinion as who would be the proper candidate for our party. My efforts did not materialize. I tell you now that I do not see the faintpst sig-n of any organized opposition to the candidacy of Mr. Bryan in any State of the Union. "It is a paradox to say bo, but the Democratic leaders here who are against him are all for him.
