Little superstitions.

"I don t believe there Is a man living
who is without his pet superstition, !"
remarked secondhand furniture man.
"We constantly have people who sell us
articles of household use and come in
after few weeks--sometimes only days
and try to buy them back again, with
the explanation that they have had bad
luck ever since the sale was made and
never would have good luck again until
the bargain was undone.

grandmothers clock fairly wept be-

uneducated or ignorant people by any

vile business man of great culture and
refinement who is vigorously pursuing
an old wooden desk which he owned
many years ago--a desk on which he
made an enormous amount of money by
few lucky strokes of his pen. The
desk passed from hand to hand and out
of his possession. He is now earnestly
endeavoring to trace it and purchase it,
believing that recent business reverses
and hard times will fee away If he can
only stretch his legs once more under
that same old desk. "--Louisyille Cou-

In Mr.. McKinley's recent speech at Hart
ford he declared that the Harrison admins
tration had turned over TO its successor a
surplus Of $125, ,0OO, 900. In a communication
TO the Chief of the Bureau of Printing and
Engraving, under date of February 20. 1898,
Secretary of the Treasury Charles Foster
urges the preparation of the designs for the
per cent. bonds "in advance of the enact
ment" Of the Senate amendment to the sun
dry civil bill, then pending, Sin view OF
pressing contingencies.
All this was within two weeks OF the close
of Mr.. Harrison's term and after Mr.. Foster
had notified Congress that "there might be
surplus of $l7,0OO,0OO in the Treasury at
the close of the fiscal year." but that the
situation was one demanding serious con-
sideration." The response by Congress was
the clause in the sundry civil bill authorizing
the issue of 8 per cent. bonds.
It is curious that Mr.. Mckinley did not
know this fact. To charge that surplus of
$l25, 100000 remained as legacy Of the
Harrison administration 10 Cleveland, in the
face OF Mr.. Fosters $1,000, 900 statement,
