Friday is a Lucky Day.

| Contrary>to all tradition and to the
| irm belief OF the civilized world, Fri
| DAY is the luckiest day of the week.
! Such is the conclusion reached by 8
competent and painstaking statlstician
the results OF whose labors are exploit
ed in The Chicago Tribune.
After a thorough search of statistical
tables, he discovered that. for grea,
calamities and disasters Monday is the
most unlucky day and Friday is the
luckiest.
A summary OF the results shows the
following:
The worst day for murders
The worst day for res--Monday.
The worst day for shipwrecks-
Thursday.
The worst day for railroad accidents
Friday.
The worst day for foods-Saturday
It will be seen that the fears of those
who refrain from beginning journe.
on Friday are to some extent justified
But in nothing but railroad accidents
does Friday sustain its reputation, hay
ing very small record for shipwrecks
murders and fires. A table OF averages
for the various days OF the Heek show
that 1923 per cent. Of the disasters
took place on Friday-the normal
averages would have been over Ia per
cent.-that 1886 per cent. occurred on
a Tuesday, 14a per cent. on Thur
day, IA per cent on a Wednesday, 16a
per cent. on both Saturday and Sun
day, and 133 per cent. ON Monday.
Wednesday seems to be the best day
on which to begin journey.
We are reminded also that Columbus
started on his voyage of discovery on a
Friday, first sighted land on Friday
and discovered the American continent
on Friday. This day Is certainly a
lucky one in American history. II e
battle ,of Bunker Hill was fought on q
Friday, the motion sof John Adams
that The United States are and ougi [
to be independent was made on Fri
day, Saratoga. was surrendered on q
Friday and the Merrlmac was sunk iu
Santiago harbor on Friday.
/. We might add that the Mayfower
landed on. a Friday and that George
Washington was born Friday, Febru
ary %, 1882.
The Anti-Friday superstition is prob
ably due to tho fact that Christ Wa,
crucified on that day. Past recor.
however, seem to establish beyo: q
question that Friday Is not an unluc:.::
day, but one Of good omen.

The Lad Who Tried to Keep His Eys
on the Squirrel Got the Job.

A lawyer advertised for clerk, say
Tact in Court. The next morning the
office was crowded with applicants, all
bright and many suitable. He bade
them wait until all should arrive, and
then arranged them in a row and said
he wo1ld tell them story, note theil
comments, and judge from that whom
he would choose.
IA certain farmer" began the law
yer, twas troubled with a red squirrel
that got in through hole In his barn
and stole his seed corn. He resolved
to kill the equirrel at the first oppor.
tunity. Seeing him so in at the hole
one noon, he took his shotgun and
fired away the first shot set the barn
on fire."
"Did the barn burn?" asked one ol
the boys.
The lawyer, without answering con.
tinued: ''And seeing the barn or
fire, the farmer seized a pail of watel
and ran to put 1t out"
"Did he put 1t out?'' asked another
"As he passed inside, the door shut
to, and the barn was soon In flames
When the hired girl rushed out IRith
more water"
"Did they all burn upf" asked an.
other boy.
The lawyer went on without answer
"Then the old lady came out, and all
was noise and confusion, and erybody
was trying to put out the fire"
Ibid any one burn up?" asked an.
other.
"There, that will do" the lawyer
said. You all have shown great inter
est in the story" But observing one
little bright eyed fellow lp deep y.
Ience, he sa,ds g Nov; my little maa,
what haye you TO say ?"
The little fellow bIuahed; grow un-
easy, and stammered outA
II want to know what became oi
that squirrel ; that's what l want to
know" 1
"YopH do, said the lawyer !; "you
are my man. You have not bean

The Young Mans Mistake.

Atchison Globe.
When a young man is graduated
from college he reads an address where
in be says that people must do wonder
full things to attain success and climb
nigh and rugged mountains. This is
not the truth. The fact is the road to
success has been blazed SO clearly that
no one need to 60 .astray. Success je
easier than failure. There ere thou
aends Of people to direct the yourg
man. All the young need to do to
win success Is to follow lew simple
and honest rules. It ls the. losfer,
liar, the dishonest man, who travels q

penny of debt honestly due, yet these
same people will not hesitate to "beat"
the State, In so far as it is possible, out
