Luck in Old Shoes.

From the Newark Standard.
The Chinese value a pair of boots
which have been worn by an upright
magistrate, and the custom OF wish
ing a friend a "happy foot" is still OBJ
served all through Europe. The ca.
sual putting on the lett shoe on the
right foot, putting it on uneven or
erosswise. bursting the latch or tie,
lacing it wrong and losing button
are all bad signs. A Yorkshire man
will spit in his right shoe before put
ting it on, when going out on important
business, to bring luck, and many an
English girl has been known to hang
her boots out of the window on St.
Valen tines night for love luck. Prof.
Black tells of a singular superstition
existing in England which insists
that if the youngest daughter of a
family marries first her sisters must
dance at the wedding without shoes,
so as to insure husbands for them
selves.
Old-shoe throwing Is done tor many
purposes. In Ireland the election of
person to almost any office is con-
Guided by throwing an old shoe over
his head. The gypsiessay:
Hurled after an old shoe,
I'll be merry what here 1 do.
In the Isle of Man an old shoe is al
ways thrown after the bride, as we'll
as the groom, when leaving their
homes and in the south the oldest
person on the plantation, white or
black, always throws Il shoe after any
one starting on long journey. 1t is
said that Nine. Patti and other
women on the stage preserve mos t
carefully the boots they wore at their
debut, which they consider lucky to
wear on the first nights of engage.

A Coed Revenue Measure.

EDITOR TRIBUNE; Noticing by yester-
DAVIS TRIBUNE that q revenae bid has
been introduced in the legislature hauing
fer Its object the increase Of the assessed
valuation of the state by doing away with
the u"norganized territory and including it
within the boundaries of organized
counties. A few remarks on the subject
may not be amiss. If our Legislators see
fit to pass this measure, they will certainly
accomplish something OF great importance
to the taxpayers of the whole state. It is
a well known fact in this section that the
large cattle companies, who own hundreds
of thousands of cattle and .aorses. are grow
ing immensely wealthy by grazing their
stock Oh our nutritious bunch grasses, for
which the state receives very lit
tie i'll the way of taxes; yet
these men are protected by our laws
from the depreciation Of thieves and do not
hesitate to call upon the state to prosecute
the criminal when caught stealing their
stock. 1t is right that they should be pro-
tected and 1t Is but Justice that they should
pay their proportion OF the taxes, which
many Of them are escaping under the pres
ent state of affairs. Take, for instance.
five of the large companies whose ranges
are north and northwest of Dickinson.
The aggregate value of their at ,ck Is, at a
low valuation. over half a million dollars,
and some of tt EN- shipped to market last
fall over 100000 worth of cattle. A low
estimate places the value OF stock ranging
IN the u~norganized territory between the

FoolElardy Boomers.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 25.-Probably what
will prove to be the everest blizzard of
the season is raging in Kansas tonight.
1t commenced late this afternoon when
the cold wave of yesterday became intensi-
fed. The thermometer dropped to ten
degrees above zero m high winds came
up from the northwest. At 7 O'Clock it
began to snow and the storm developed
into a binding blizzard. Dispatches from
southern Kansas state that a "nOrther" is
raging in the Cherokee strip aud that
intense suffering will be experienced by
the foolhardy boomers who not only have
invaded the strip contrary to law but
went into the barren country wholly un-
prepared for any emergency such as the
present. There is fully 5000 boomers in
the strip and they are equipped only with
the meagre furniture of the "prairie
schooner" and most of them are scanUy
provisioned and with only wagon covers
for shelter they will endure great suffer
ing,

A Ghost That Robbed.

A ghost robbed a house in Soho square,

his landlord that his brother was dead, and
asked permission to bring the body to his
rooms while the arrangements for inter-
ment were completed. Permission was
granted, and a handsome coffin arrived,
containing what appeared to be a corpse in
a long white shroud. The coffin was
placed in the dining room. Next night,
after all had retired a the ledger and
servant maid, an apparition appeared to
the latter. The apparition was a tall,
specter like figure, with every appearance
of a ghost.
The maid rushed upstairs to her master
and mistress room. followed by the ghost,
who mounted sentinel at the door, con-
tcrted his features and waved his hands.
The maid crept under the bed and her en-
Noyers hid their faces under the bed cloth
Ing. At this time a great noise like furni-
eure moving was heard in the house, and
the three terrified objects came to the con-
clusion that the house had been taken DOS
session of by a regiment of spirits. At
last all was quiet, the ghost had disap-
peared and a search was made. The house
was found to have been stripped of every
particle of furniture, and all the valuable
family plate had gone too. No psychology
ical society investigated the phenomenon,
but the police did, and the lodger and tho
