NOT KNOWN
Alaskan Army Posts Might
 Not be Abandoned
 d g ss AaE@
l- g
 41l-=.

Alaskan army posts might not be abandoned in accordance with intor- nation given out some time ago, when it was said there would be DO troops sent to Fort Liscum, near Valdez, or Fort Davis, near Nome, to succeed those there now, and which will leave in July or August. It Is now believed that troops will be sent to both these forts. In that event there will be an entire regiment sent to Alaska to succeed the Third infantry. e
 If whole regiment shall be sent to Alaska, as now seems likely to be the case, it is believed it will be the 26th infantry, which is now in Texas, and which the Third will relieve. Ii the plan is to send only two batallions north, as was determined upon short time ago, then eight companies of the Tenth infantry will probably come. They are now at Fort Lawtou, near Seattle, and Fort Wright, near Spo- kane.

THIRTEEN AT TABLE.
The Sequel to a Dinner Party at the
 Home of MiIInis,

| The Sequel to a Dinner Party at the Home of MiIInis.
 By some persons of nearly all na-
 tonalltles the number 13 is regarded
 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 PA, so many and
 diverse have been the ills which the , lady traces to the fatal number. Paris
 will not have the number for any
 of it's houses. Parisians so hate the
 thirteen party" for dinner that there
 is a class of professional diners out
 called "QuartOrziennes," whose func-
 ton it is to make the fourteenth at these symposia. The Turks so dislike
 it that the word is practically eXpung- ed from their language. The Italians will not even employ it in their lot tories. The Italian gamblers horror
 of the number proceeds apparently from the fact that u thirteenth card O. 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 indis- criminately one will die within twelve months. 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, remark ing, Some have carried it to the eN- tent of disliking that number at ali times. but the cOmmoncr form limits it to Friday" But the antipathy is older than Christianity. In the old Morse mythology the thirteen party was deemed unlucky because, at a banquet in Valhalla, Loki once appeared, mak- ing thirteen, and Balder was slain by the blind god Holder at the instiga.iOn of the intruder.
 In fostering this superstition the CredulOus find themselves in good com pany. The question was sprung upon a dinner party at the home of the fa- nous artist MillaiS, where they sud denly found themselves thirteen strong. One of the company was mortified at the discovery. "The idea is" said Matthew Arnold, that whoever leaves the table first will die within a year, so, | with the permission of the ladies, we will cheat the fates at once. l and ]. these two fine, strong young lads will ! rise together, and I think our united . constitutions will be able to withstand 1 the assault of the reaper" They got up, and no rnore 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 q New York hotel. The third did seem likely to outliye the year. He hSu gone to Australia for the benefit of his health. But for the home ward journey he took passage by the Quetta. And that ship fOundered among the reefs of New Guinea.-Chi- cagO News.
