"HooDoos" PROVED LUCKY.
An Actor Who Tested the ''Signs" and
Made Money.

An Actor Who Tested the "signs" and |
Made Money.
William Fayersham is credited with the
following story by the Boston Herald:
"Oh, know very well that what was
good luck to the Romans in many cases
was bad luck to the Greeks, but even that
did not alter the state of feeling which l
wish to describe No man is so truly void
of logical reasoning as to think that seeing
the new moon over ones shoulder or the
other, or stumbling the toe Of one foot rath-
or than that of its neighbour, or going I'M
der ladder or thousand other signs
and portents' really can Affect man S
life, even for an hour or day, but this Is
positively true, that sign coming our
way does affect ones spirit and makes one
light hearted or the reverse for the time be-
ing, and thereby we are more or less i'm
pressed.
IT recall a case where all signs failed as
in dry weather 1t was friend OF mine
in San Francisco, a brother, and he did
run the gamut of bad luck omens We
will suppose it to be Monday night when
he went home, having lost close on to 3d.
| 600 to a turn in the market. He went up
| stairs as straight as could be- but in going
| down again t. get pitcher OF water he
stumbled. Now to stumble up stairs is
| good luck. Down stairs is bad luck. He
| muttered something not quite fit for polite
| ears, with an execration against the luck
That evening he'd seen the new moon over
his left shoulder and he had not coin In
his pocket.
"'By Jove,' he said, 'I'll try it tomor-
row and see what will happen.
"By it he meant signs or omens. We'll,
on arising he got out of bed the wrong
foot foremost, he put on one stocking and
one shoe before he put on the other stock
ing, when he got out on the street nc
went under every ladder he could IND, ano
SO on Every bad luck sign he could test ht
did. Then at about noon he went ano
borrowed money.
| "Now, they do say that it Is the worst
luck in the world to speculate on entirely
borrowed money. You must have Ie"
| dollars of your own in the pile you invest
"Well, what was the result? He made
scr. 900 in one day, that day which h
| marked with so many back stones Of bat
| luck omens and daring Of proverbial ira
dition.
"Of course he has Dragged about tina
thing ever since, hooting at any one VIII
dares suggest bad or good luck sign
J And yet there is one thing he will not do
here Mr.. Faversham had quiet laugl
TO himself while his listeners waited-"h
, will never pick upa chair he has over
turned"
The raconteur paused here and relit nj
, cigar OF course some one asked why tn
breaker of all traditions would not pic
M an overturned chair, and Mr. Favel
, | sham chuckled as he answered.: "Becaus
a. is had luck to oyerturn chair, and tn
, only way to Illustrate the III omen, TO pu
} out the evil eye, so to speak, is to hav
some one else put the chair upon It's prope
footing. So, you see, even my friend
not pachyd ermatous to superstition"

Close Shooting.

An Englishman who lived many years
in Africa says that 1t Is now several years
since he ventured to take one OF the most
daring shots that ever was hazarded. HIS
wife was sitting In the house near the open
door, the children were playing about her,
and he was without, not far away, busy
with wagon. :,
Suddenly, he says, though 1t was mid
day, an enormous lion appeared at a short
distance, slowly advanced and laid himself
quietly down in the shade upon the very
threshold of the door. !.
NV wife, frozen with fear, remained
motionless in her place. The children TOOK
refuge in her lap, and the cry they uttered
attracting my attention Ihastened TOWARD
the door. Ny establishment and horror
may be imagined when / found the en-
trance barred In such manner.
The lion had not seen me, and glided
gently, scarcely knowing what L meant 20
do, to the side of the house and to the
window of my chamber, In which knew
my loaded gun was standing.
BY happy chance l had set IL In 9
| corner close by the window, so that couio
reach It from the outside, and, still more
fortunately, the door of the room was open,
SO that could SEQ the whole danger OF the
scene. $500

SERVICE.
Fret not that the day is gone

Fret not that the day is gone
And thy task is still undone.
Twas not thine, it seems, at all.
Near to thee it CHANGED to fall.
Close enough to stir thy brain
And to vex thy heart in vain.
Somewhere in a nook forlorn
Yesterday n babe was born.
He shall do thy waiting task,
All thy questions he shall ask,
And the answers will be given
Whispered lightly out of heaven.
His shall be no stumbling feet,
Falling where they should be fleet;
He shall hold no broken clew,
Friends shall unto him be true.
Men shall love him, falsehood's aim
Shall not shatter his good name;
Day shall nerve his arm with light,
Slumber soothe him all the night;
Summers peace and winters storm
Help him all his will perform.
IT'S enough of Joy for thee
His high service to forsee.

Murder Follows a Conversation
which Was Probably a Quarrel.
Augusta, Ca, April 29.-Spencer Samuels,
colored, was shot and killed at noon by
Walter Sanders, colored.
Sanders used a shot gun. He is In Jail.
Samuels was one of the hands employed
an building the race which is being made
under the Clark mill. To-day when the din
ner whistle blew Walter Sanders walked
up to the crowd where Samuels was sitting
and asked Samuels to let him speak to him
a minute.
Sanders held a double barrel shot gun in
his hands but Samuels walked over to him
and the two men walked under the arch
of the building and entered McKinne
street.
Some words ensued and Samuels called
to one of his workmates, Sam Jones to
come out for a minute.
Just as Jones walked out of the building
he heard Samuels say to Sanders: did
you bring that gun along to shoot me-
with?"
Sanders turned to Samuels and said:
mo, but 1 can do it," and as quick as a
flash raised the gun to his shoulder and
pulled the trigger.
Samuels was about ten feet distant and
the charge entered his head just above the
left eye, tearing a hole several inches in
diameter and knocking out his brains.
Samuels fell to the ground, between the
car tracks and died without a struggle.

TIMIDITY AT KEY WEST.
Nervous Persons Apprehend Bonn
bardment by the Spanish.

Key West Fla, April 29.-There are
many nervous people in this semi-Cuban
city, and apprehension is not confined to
the less intelligent class. The timid aver
that Key West is sure to be the first point
of attack by the Spanish fleet, and the
whereabouts of the latter they pIace-some
at Porto Rico, others off Bermuda, while
some will almost certify that the hostile
cruisers are less than an hundred miles
away.
AS reasons for their belief that Key West
will be selected many say Spain has an es-
pecal grudge against the place as having
been for many years a hot bed of treason
to the crown; that the coal and naval
stores belonging TO the United States and
now here to supply the fleet would be of
incaiculable benefit to the Spaniards and
that the Viscaya and Oquendo alone could
capture the place in few hours.
OF course, all this is regarded as begot-
ten of fear and buttressed by bad judg-
ment by those best posted in naval mat
tiers. None the less hot a few women have
left Key West and others will soon follow.
