either by ties OF blood or marriage.
In keeping with the traditions OF his
ancestors he entered the profession OF

withdrew from the profession on the
conviction that he was called into
other lines OF work. Both father and
son have been Identified for several
years past with many philanthroplc en-

is thirty-three years old. good looking,

done some things that indicated his
striking independence OF character. AT

PICKED UP THE PIN.


And Has had Nothing but had Luck
Ever since.
These homoly old superstltlons wS
have all heard since childhood are
very mysterious things" said the re-
cording secretary OF the New Orleans
Ananias club to the New Orleans
Times-Democrat man. Take the one.
for Instance. about finding pins. Last
week a friend OF mine, who Is rather
portly, saw pin lying on the side
walk. He didn't want to pick II up,
but was afraid to pass It for fear OF bad
luck, so he stopped over. slowly and
painfully. As he did so he busted a
pair OF 81 silk suspenders and ripped a
pair OF 80 trousers. At the same time
his SO gold eyeglasses fell OF and
smashed all to pieces. but he got the
pin and rose up suddenly. being mad.
Just In time to bring the back OF his
head In contact with n piece OF scan
Ting which a carpenter was carrying
along the pavement. The conclusion
raised n bump as big as goose egg
and knocked on his new white alpine

was ruined. Nevertheless, he still
hung onto the pin and stuck II under
the lapel Of his coat. In taking of the
garment at his office he scratched him
self on the back OF the hand with the
point. and a couple OF days later In
hammation set In. You see. the con
founded pin was brass and probably
covered with germs. Anyhow. his
hand swelled up until Il looked like q
ham, and he hasn't been able to use II
yet. As he happens to be a bookkeeper
the thing has already knocked him out
OF weeks work and may lose him his
Job. The worst Of II is. he doesn't
dare to throw away the pin for fear OF
having bad luck. These old superst-
lions are certainly very curious-very
curious indeed"
