There is a very old custom or game
OF incarnation played by generation
after generation Of high school girls.
II is called counting white horses"
TIE rule is to count white horses, not
counting the same one twice in the
same day, until the counter has re-
corded ninety-nine. The girl who
counts must touch her right fore
finger to her lips. then to the palm Of
her left hand. and then strike her fists
together. little finger end to thumb end.
After ninety-nine white horses have
been seen and recorded thus cabalisti-
caIIy. one white mule must be counted
before the tale is complete. After these
ceremonies have been performed, and
the white mule recorded with an espe-
cial ceremony, the first unmarried man
that the girl who has made her tally,
meets, is to be her husband. Well, a
group Of half a dozen high school girls
had completed the course Of ninety
nine horses. but the old span of white
mules that used to tug stone on a low
hurg stone-wagon seems to have dis
appeared from the streets of Lincoln.
The girls watched for the white mule
for weeks. but without finding one.
But passing by the postoffice one day
on her way to school one of the girls
discovered the tabled magic beast. She
hurried to the high-school and got
there few moments before school
time. She gasped the news and the
other girls seized their things and
ran down to the squire where the poor
old mule was hitched. They stayed
only long enough to perform the cere-
mony, but they were late. The teams
ter looked upon the mule with new
sense Of his preciousness after the girls
had left.

The Usual Denial.

Rumors have been put in circulation
lately that negotiations, which have
been pending for a month, have been
practically contaminated by which a
controlling interest in the stock of the
Rock Island railway passes from Chi
cago owners to parties affiliated with
the PennS ylvania. Officials of the COM
pany here say they know nothing of
transfer of a large amount of Rock
Island stock and they believe the re-
port to be a c&nard spread by specu-
lators to influence the market 1t is
certain that neither Mr.. Gable nor any
of the other Chicago stockholders have
disposed of their holdings, and if any
Rock Island stock has changed hands
it must have been that of the Moore
brothers. The latter, however, are not
believed to have sold any of their stock.
