PET sUPERSTITIONs.

Every one has some pet superstition
The most prosaic individual feels a lit
tie uncomfortable when looking glass
breaks, and it takes something like
superhuman courage to sit down to a
table with twelve other people. A spe-
cialist in Philadelphia who has been
directing his attention recently to the
vagaries of the human mind unearthed
a number of superstitions which seem
at least to have the merit of being I'M
common. Some of them follow:
If you tie lock of your hair in a
piece of red flannel and place it at the
door of your worst enemy everything
evil that you wish will befall him.
When a child is peevish and fractions
and a source of annoyance to your
neighbors take him to the nearest sand
pile and rub him with the damp sand.
From being a torment to the family
and neighbors he will, after this
treatment, straightway become the
most angelic child that ever blessed a
happy household. No one who does
not care to defy Providence ever
thinks of counting biscuits once they
are put on the table.
If YOU meet a red-haired girl on
Monday morning you will have bad
luck for the rest OF the week. II Is
far better to turn back and sleep the
rest of the day than to go to business
on Monday morning after having met
a red-headed girl. The red-headed girl
has been heretofore unoonsciously
coupled with prosperity and good for
tune Of all kinds, but the specialist
goes on to say that this superstition
IS the only one wherein the red-headed
girl does not have things all her own
way. When you go to bed at night be
sure to place your shoes at right an
giles to each other. To place them
parallel means certain evil.

BLIND PAWN SHOP"
FOUND BY DETECTIVE.
J. Z. Hudgens Charged with Doing
Business without License.

Business Without License.
Charged with having conducted a
pawnbroker's business for several
months without a license, ]. E. Hud-
gems, whose place of business is at
Lumber and Walker streets, was placed
on the police docket by Detective Nose
Davis yesterday. The case will be
tried this morning.
The place was discovered by the de-
tective after long investigation. while
he was attempting to locate some stol-
en- property. So few of the articles
stolen have turned up in the regular
pawn shops recently, that the officer
became satisfied that some one was
running a blind shop" Even after
he became satisfied that this was the
case, however, it took a great deal of
bard work to locate the place.
Hudgens runs a small grocery store
and borroom. After following the mat
ter for some time. Detective Davis be-
came satisfied that this was the place
he was after. Yesterday he found a
negro woman, who said she had pawn
ed a pair of shoes with Hudgens and
that he had sold them before she re-
turned to redeem them. The officer
went to the place with the woman and
asked Hudgens if what the woman said
was true. Detective Davis says Hud-
gems admitted having taken the shoes
in pawn but claimed the woman did
not return by the date set, which was
only a few days after the day they
were put in pawn.
According to the officer, Hudgens
gives no pawn tickets, but does quite
a business. A ticket is attached to
each article, when it is taken in, but
the person pawning the article is Civ
en- nothing to show for it. One OF
these tickets that was on coats that
is alleged to have been pawned there
is now in the possession of the officer
however. There are many articles now
in the place, which were taken In pawn,
the detective says.
The city license for a pawnbroker is
$500, and the state and county also
charges a license.
