He must have hal . clear inlnd ana 2

ton Iii finance, In society and on 3 tnri;
but, nevertheless, he was one Of the most
saperstittous Of men and allowed him

what most people consider trisialties.
For example, he told me on the Mon
mouth race track that his horses would
mot win. because . flock OF blackbirds
had crossed his path that morning.

related, sand said to myself, III dcy fly

Just as l came opposite de birds hew In

me again. / shall not 60 to de stables.
l have sent for my trainer to tell him It
is OF no use trying to win to-day"
Fancy one OF the kings of finance. the
chairman OF the national democratic
committee, being thus Influenced! At
another time he was In radiant spirits
because q little bird had flown into his
bathroom and allowed itself to be fed.
II shall have good luck!" he ex
claimed; .'wait, aud you shall see.
That day he won three principal races.
Indeed, . curious phase OF his super
stitions was that they generally turned
out to be correct. When he felt that he
was going to lose. he did lose; when he
imagined that he would win, he did win.
This may be explained by coincidence,
or by the fact that his trainer and
Jockeys were shrewd enough to humor
his whims, knowing that he would
rather justify his superstitions than cap
ture q race. But, whatever the expla-
nation, the fact that such q a should
be subject to such caprices Is wonderful.
