oe snoroughly appreciated in a certain

Are you superstitious? 1 know L am

among eccentricities OF old maids
There was woman visiting me the
IL 2 hod ha
grip this year. l answered no, and Inn
mediately struck wood three times,
for have a fear of evil spirits and
know how fast they are to take advant-
age of human hoastfulness. l explain
ed TO her that if l hadn't struck wood
1 would probably have the grip inside
of twenty-four hours. She laughed at
my superstition and said if 1 wanted to
ward off grip or smallpox I should put
sulphur in my left shoe every time 1
got out She said that was science
and not superstition, but I'll leave it to
you who was. or is, the mostssupersti-

It was very nearly tragedy. A
young man we'll known about town for
wit and his geuiul manners started for
home late last Saturday, or maybe it
was early Sunday morning. But some
how he grew weary or absent minded
and wandered into the back yard of the
next door neighbor to where he rooms.
While be was sitting on the steps leis.
urely removing his shoes the owner OF
the house, a we'll known passenger con-
ductor, came and mistaking him for q
burglar took q couple of shots at him.
The railroad man would probably have
taken other shots at him, but at the
second report q form flew over thu
nit he nd If
kangaroo. The next morning q hs
and one shoe found in the back var
led TO Identification and explanation /
But the young man will probably q
home earlier hereafter and be ve
shy OF his neighbo. IS back yard.

account OF the many crOSs-rOadj that
lead them from the oneS roadlesd-
ing to his home but it is a dead titled
fact that many start for this pla who

of placing sign-boards at thtmsny
roads sthat brsrch off from Is and
making them large enough tat they
would attract even the notice "a dead
