Did you ever see plants that live on

Along the edges were green hairs like

''and when he gets in the leaves close.

From il branch out four large green
prongs OF leaves exactly like horns.

into his Bathroom and allowed itself
to be fed.

claimed. WALT and you shall see"
That day he won three principal
races. Indeed. u curious phase OF his
superstitions was that they generally
turned out to be correct When no
felt that he was going TO lose he did
lose; when he imagined no would win
he did win.
This may be explained by coinci-
dence or by the fact that his trainer
and jockey were shrowd enough to
humor his whims. knowing that he
would rather justify bis superstI tlons
than capture race. But. whatever
the explanation. the fact that such
man should be subject to such csfprices

the best thing for man Is that which

II is said OF some gardeners that
