Time to Go.

> Some time ago there lived a gentle
man OF indolent habits who spent his
time visiting among his friends. After
wearing out his welcome In his own
neighborhood. he thought he would
visit an old Quaker friend some twen-
ty miles distant. On his arrival he
was cordially received by the Quaker
who, thinking the visitor had taken
much pains to come so far to see him.
treated him with great deal of atten-
tion and politeness for several days
As the visitor showed no signs OF
leaving, the Quaker became uneasy.
but bore it with patience until the
eighth day. when he said 10 him:
my friend. am afraid thee will
never come again.
"Oh. yes | shall" said the visitor. II
have enjoyed my visit very much. and
shall certainly come again.
But" said the Quaker. III thee will
never leave how can thee come

ALL FEAR THIRTEEN
COMMON SUPERSTITION IS AN

thew Arnold.

BY some persons of nearly all nat
1onalities the number thirteen Is re-
garded with superstitious fear At
Brighton, England, the town council
has just granted permission to a
householder to change the number of
her dwelling place from 13 to 12A, go
many and diverse have been the ills
which the lady traces to the fatal
number. Paris will not have the
number for any of its houses Paris
ians SO hate the thirteen party" for

ional diners-out, called "quartorzien-
les" whose function it is to make the

guage; the Italians will not even en-
ploy 1t in their lotteries. The Italian
gamblers horror of the number pro
ceeds, apparently, from the fact that
thirteenth card of one of his packs
bears the figure of death
In England the superstition that
one of a company OF thirteen must die
within the year is traced to the old
calculation OF the insurance Offices
that out of thirteen persons, taken in
discriminately, one will die within
twelvemonths. Others trace the awe
in which the figures are held to the
last supper, at which thirteen were
present. Lord Lytton dealt with this
aspect, remarking. Some have car
ried 1t to the extent OF disliking that
number at all times, but the common
er form limits it to Friday" But the
antipathy is older than Christianity.
In the old Morse mythology the thir-
cen party was deemed unlucky, be-
cause, at banquet in Valhalla. Loki
once appeared, making thirteen, and
Balder was slain by the blind god
Holder, at the instigation of the intru-
der.
In fostering this superstition the
credulous find themselves in good
company The question was sprung
upon dinner party at the home Of
the famous artist Millais. where they
suddenly found themselves thirteen
strong One of them was Mortified at
the discovery. The idea is" said
Matthew Arnold. that whoever
leaves the table first will die within
q year. so, with the permission of the
ladies', we will cheat the fates for
once. and these two fine, strong
young lads will rise together, and |
think our united constitutions will be
able to Withstand the assault of the
reaper" They got up and no more
was thought about it,
Six months later Arnold died in the
prime of life. One of the two men
whom he had called upon to rise from
the table with him was found shot
dead In his bed in New York hotel.
The third did seem likely to outlive
the year. He had gone to Australia
for the benefit Of his health. But for
the homeward journey he took pas.
cage by the Quetta. And that ship
foundered among the reefs OF New

FEDERAL JURISDICTION UPHELD
Supreme Court Decides Case Appealed from Kentucky.

Washington, Jan. l6.-The Supreme Court of the United States today af- iirmrd the decision of the District Court of the United States for the Western District of Kentucky in the case of the Madisonville Traction Company vs. the St Bernard Mining Company, thus sup porting the contentious of the mining company.
 The case involved the condemnation of right of way in Hopkins County, Kentucky, but the court gave practi- cally all of its attention to a law point involved, which was the right of the Federal courts to take cognizance of the case because of the non residence of some of the parties to it. in face of the fact that the State laws give 1 exclusive Jurisdiction in such cases tC | the county courts.
 | Today's decision sustainS the claim to Federal jurisdiction. Chief Justice
 Fuller and Justices Peckham and Holmes concurred in dissenting opinion. holding that the state had tho
 power to prescribe the conditions fol the exercise of eminent domain within l it's territory.
