HE WAS SUPERSTITIOUS.
The Curious Story of Man Who Believed
In Omens,

Among the frequent guests in Lewiston
is Mr.. Lathrop, Il well known travelling

He believes in signs and omons, and, a.
he puts it, there is no man more supersti.

to the driver of a coupe and engaged him.
In going down a hill the holdback broke,
and we were thrown out, the horse run

horse.
L was thrown out and laid up in bed
five weeks. My friend was not hurt sc
badly. As soon rs got out of the house
went to call on the driver He was In 8

Mr.. Lathrop tells the story pathetically
from this point, and he says If he had
known this fact you couldn't have driver
