HoRsEsHoEs WERE UNLUcKY.
Man on the Line pof the Brooklyn Bridge Almost Ruined by Falling
 of Iron Shoes Before His Door.

William Lemken, owner of the four story building, 173 South street, just north of the line of the Brooklyn bridge, has given the time-worn superstition about horseshoes bring ing good luck an extended trial, and he says it is all humbug. Horse- shoes have brought him misfortune, driven his tenants out of his store building, and caused him lot of per- sonal annoyance. MT. Lemken has "put the law' on the city because of horseshoes. He had begun an action in the supreme court against John l.. Shea, commissioner of bridges, and the entire municipal assembly, de- manding that they cause to be abated the showering of horseshoes on his South street premises.
 Mir. Lemken bought the South street property two or three years ago. It was not long, according to the papers in the lawsuit, before the tenants were driven out by the drop ping of horseshoes from the bridge roadway overhead. Other tenants came, and after few days expe- rience under the rain of horseshoe nails, sticks and other things they also moved out. Since then the place has become known as the house where the horseshoes drop. At first it seemed like joke to MT. Lemken, but when he went down to South street one day and stood on the roof of his building and lodged several horseshoes iI wasn't funny any more. He is said to have been driven off the roof by an unusual rain of horse shoes, but perhaps that particular story was overdrawn. Mr. Lemken has grown so tired of the rain of horseshoes that he has sued to re- strain the New York and Brooklyn bridge.

Carrie Nation. the Kansas

Carrie Nation, the Kansas lunatic, when last heard from, was in Indiana, where, on the Fourth of July, she gave lot of hatchets to children and in- duced them to assist in destroying 1he property of a saloon keeper. It is time for this sort of hoodlumism to be stepped. Mrs Nation should be re- strained. It doesn't make much diff ference to her or anybody else whether the restraint shall be in Jail or in D lunatic asylum. Hartford Times.

Fina. a tffdden Tren.ure.

William Brannan is $300,000 better off through digging for gold. He is a prosperous farmer of the Laston dis trict and has recently lived in Sa- vannah, Ga. A fortune teller told him that on his place in Bullock county, at the end of a certain old mill dam, was buried large amount of money. He quietly began search ing for the hidden treasure. The other day he struck pot of ante bellum mold that contained 1000 hl~ gold coin. When or by whom this treasure was laid away nobody knows, nor does Mir. Brannan care, now that he has the laugh on his friends and neighbors. The commun- ity is wild over the find.

Rival of a Famous Picture.

A sensational development of the story of the stolen Duchess of Devon shire is promised which is expected to be just as exciting as the history of the mysterious disappearance of the Gainsborough picture.
 There is said to be rival duchess, the history of which is exceedingly romantic and will give people a great deal to talk about. It will not fail to excite some controversy in art circles.
 The story of the rival comes from South Wales farmer and general merchant, who received the work from his father.

Unceasing Struggles Which End In
Survival of Fittest.
We read the tablets of long ago
which tue geologist has deciphered for
us, and we find them an endless story
of battles. The successful species
which occupy the great geological
horizons have come out Of great tribu-
lation. The trilobites and stone lilies
Of the silurian period, the gigantic club
moss and fiuted sigillarians of the coal
age, the enormous ammonites of the
jurassic and chalk epochs, the mighty
elephants and majestic deer forms Of
the tertiary era are magnates of the
times and masterpieces of the struggle.
They have been redeemed at great
price, even of thousand species and
tens of thousands of individuals who
fell short Of the typical fitness and
We're killed out. These magnates, each
in its turn, were pioneers Of progress,
like the scouts of great army and
were caught in physiological am
bush.
The pedigree of the horse in the most
recent past has been made out, traced
shall we say, for hundred thousand
years before man came on the scene
for Lord Kelvin asked the geologist
to hurry up and not be too lavish with
time or we should have said 100000
years before NAM. The f1eetness, grace
and strength of the horse are owing tt
his ability to walk on one toe, to which
have been correlated the wonderful
instincts by which he has become the
partner of man in his industries an(
struggles. He has been derived il
almost strict graduation from the tw'

And Yet He Could write.

Among the public servants who are
worried by foolish questions the super
intendent Of mails in the postoffice gets
his full share. One of his visitors on
a certain occasion was a man who said
to the deputy who answered the call
at the window:
81 am going out Of town today and
want to get letter to my brother, who
is on board the Majestic, and she is
not due until Wednesday. l don't
know where he will stay in New York
or where he will go from here. Can
you help me?"
Certainly we can," said the clerk.
"a mailboat goes to meet the steamer,
and if you address your letter properly
and put domestic postage on it it will
be delivered all right"
"But how shall 1 address it-where
shall l send it?'
address it John Smith, passenger
on board incoming steamer Majestic,
due in New York, Dec. 12.' That will
reach him."
"No city? No nothing?"
'"Thats adjust as told you"
The man thanked the clerk and went
away, and came back a little later with
an addressed letter in his hand.
Say" he said to the clerk, "about
that letter. I've addressed it and
stamped it all right, but the mans
name isn't John Smith. How about
hat"-New York Tribune.

"save Me From NV Friends"

This saying is commonly attributed
to Voltaire, who at Ferney when pes
tered by professions Of insincere friend
ship said, Il pray God to deliver me
from my friends; will defend myself
from my enemies
The thought, however, is attributed
by the French to Marshal Villars,
while Kant discovers it in an Italian
proverb, and a German collection of
proverbial wisdom gives it in a modi.
fed form. Antigonus, one Of the gen,
erals of Alexander the Great, offered
sacrifice that the gods might protect
him from his friends and at the same
time declaring he could look after his
enemies himself. Churchill has some
thing of the idea in the lines:
Greatly his foes he breads, but most his friends
He hurts the most who llyishly commends.

An INDIAN CIGAR SIGN.
The Fate That Overlook One Agrees
sive Wooden Savage

The city of Little Muddy, on the up
per Yellowstone, was AN exceedingly
wide awake town in 1887. When it
had reached the mature age of 3
months every kind of business man
was represented except the cigar deal
err, and the next week a man from Chi
cagO named Stark opened a tobacco
store, with large, gaudy and aggres-
sive wooden Indian in front, holding
tomahawk savagely in one hand and
bunch of cigars in the other. 1t would
take a chapter to tell Of all the trouble
Stark had with that wooden aborigine.
This variety Of sign was rare in that
region, and gentlemen not unconnected
with the stock growing industry who
came in from the ranges wearing spurs
and weapons would resent his threat
ening attitude-for that matter, no In

ed, was popular. He was knocked off
his pedestal half dozen times a day.

of Long Isaac, came in from the Light

friendship existed between these two

from the ranch for several months.
They wandered about town in d re-
ceptive mood and sought to enjoy their
| visit. No facts are eXtant concerning
their condition after some hours, but
we may perhaps be al owed our suspi-
cions. Finally they separated, and

How Flags Wear Out.

1t costs money to fly even two small
flags every day in the year. The two
small ones on the east and west fronts
of the capitol, each about three yards
long, which is small for such an i'm
mense structure as the capitol, fray out
SO fast that it costs 500 a year to re-
place them. They are darned every
day and on windy days probably two
or three times. Even with all these
economics 500 worth of fine wool
floats off into the air in such fine parti-
cles that never a trace of it can be
found even at the foot of the two flag

One day a prominent lawyer and two
of his clients called and asked if the
justice would receive them.
The officer threw open the door and
called out loudly to the justice:
"Shudge, Two shentlemans und a
