on the Contrary, Statistics Show that
1t Is Day OF Good Fortune.
Friday, it has been discovered by a
painstaking and laborious statistician,
is not the unluclliest but actually the
luckiest day of the week.
Taking all the great calamities
which befall humanity, the painstak-
ing gatherer of facts has discovered
that the general average gives the
title of Quickest day. to Friday, and
that of unluckiest to Monday.
The moral is plain. Beware of Mon
day.
In one line alone it has been found
that Friday deserves its present title.
In railroad accidents Friday heads the
list. So it is wise, if you be super
stitious, to avoid beginning a journey
Oh Friday.
The thirteen superstition" was
knocked in the head long ago, and it
was to be supposed that an iconoclas-
tic age would take punch at the
Friday dread before long.
Sir William Churchill was one of
the first to discard the superstition.
Friday is my lucky day." he wrote.
Il was born, christened, married, and
knighted on that day, and all my
best accidents have befallen me on a
Friday"
It has not been necessary for 4 per-
con 10 admit being superstitious TO
acknowledge a preference for begin
ming certain things on any other day
than Friday. This feeling is Unborn
