"Want to make $50,O this winter?''
queried hawk-eyed man with lap
shoulder to shoe-dealer ON Michigan
avenue yesterday.
"Of course"
"Then buy my patent"
He unrolled package and brought
to light shoe. q tin funnel and quart
of wood ashes.
"What OH earth is it?' asked the
dealer.
at is Bronson's Patent Safety Shoe.
Here's the idea: In winter our side
walks are dangerous from ice. BY
sprinkling ashes on ice you produce
decomposition and render travel safe.
Do you follow?"
"But-?''
''Of course you don't. but I'll ex-
plain. This is a double-solcd shoe.
There is space between the two soles,
and the toe and heel ends are open.
You fill this space with ashes and as
you walk it flips out in advance Of
you."

"Yes, worked twenty-five years on
the idea. The funnel fits into the heel
of the shoe, and is used to load up

LUCK IN A HUMP.
A Singular Superstition Prevailing Among
Professional sGamblers.

II will let you rub my hump with
your gold if you give me a franc" said
tump-backed girl to me one night in
the gambling saloon at Monte Carlo. d
looked at her somewhat astonished at .
the remark, but she seemed so much in
earnest and so DESTROYS of the small
piece of money that gave it to her
and rubbed her hump for luck, put the
money on IA and--lost. It was the
strangest piece of tipping that / ever
encountered in all my European trav-
els. yet there are three or four shdmp-sa
backs who are habitues Of the gambling g
saloon at Monte Carlo, and who make
living by letting the superstitions rub
their lucky hump with money. y ss1 e
r / remember an Experience once in.
America Of the same kind, but it was
not for tip thattheshumpwa rubbed. I
A friend once told me TO rub the hump,
of hunchback with money. not letting
him see you-do it, and itwas good luck.
1t was race week and thought would
try it; so, slipping up behind a-little
hunchbaek who was going through the
corridor of prominent hotel in Wash 4
ington, pretended to be taking off my
coat, and. having money in my hand.
accidentally. as it were, let that hand a
hit the hunchbaek, ~and-thus rub the
money onathe lucky hump. But alasl
the man turned around and, ! had to
apologize for thus seemingly assaulting
him. y '2 'a 'is# ssn
OF course 1 knew then that mo- luck
| would come from the contract of the
money with the hump, and soalid not
put any on the races and perhaps saved
by it. But at Monte Carlo it seems to
be reversed, for you. with the knowl-
edge of the unfortunate. rub your
money up against them. and very often,
at least they tell me 50. the person wins.
