Born Lucky.

An incident attending the arrival of
one OF Stutsmsn county's increasing ,n-
fant population has excited considerable
comment among the neighbors. and par
ticularly among the goeeips and old
country people. This was the child of
Mr.. and Mrs. Nels Romer, farm people of
the county, beng born few days since
with caul, or lucky veil. The tortu-
nate infant, according TO firmly held
tradition of worldwide credence, who is
born with q caul, or membrane covering
the face, is surely protected against
drowning and will be fortunate in other
matters.
In olden times midwives sold pieces of
caul for magic uses, and Dickens re-
lates that one of bis characters twas
born with caul which was advertised
for sale IN the newspapers at the low
price of Is guiness." Other advantages
that have been attributed to the child
are that he will be particularly sharp
sighted, mind reader, and successful
in business. A good many have called
to see the lucky girl.
