AS TO BAD LUCK.

There are so many people who be-
lieVe IL luck and place faith in signs
that | have decided to offer a lew OBJ
servations in regard to the matter.
BY Keen observation | have learned
that it is the worst of luck possible
to die on Friday
To break both legs and an arm on
Tuesday is bad luck but to break both
arms and both legs on Wednesday is
worse luck
1t is unfortunate to fall down q
steep stairway on any day of the
week, ESPECIALLY if there is bucket
Of coal CT pail of scft soap at the
bottom.
Some people believe in signs and
some 90 not. There was a man once
who did not believe in them and ne
walked on the grass and got pineheu.
1t is the worst luck imaginable to
meet bill collector the day after pay
dat.
1t is very bad luck to have the
smallpox, the measles and the shin
giles at one and the same time.
1t is most unfortunate to go broke
on Monday. 1t is also bad luck to
be without money on Tuesday, We'd
nesday, Thursday, Friday, SATURDAY
and Sunday.
1t is horrible luck to commit sui
clde On Saturday. and it is also pretty
bad luck to cut your throat on Sun
day or drink carbolic acid on Mon
day.
Avoid, if possible street car acci-
dents On Wednesday. 1t is touch for
tune, indeed, to fall under a cable car
on Thursday.
1t is bad luck to lose cents, but,
of course, it is worse to lose 25 cents.
Some people think it very bad luck
to lose meal ticket. But, of course.
all depends where man is boarding.
1t is very bad luck to get married
if your wifes mother is alive, and you
are taking chances, anyhow-S. M.
