Bad Luck Signs.

1t is bad luck to tell a dream before
daybreak.
If you dream about money in small
pieces it is a sign of trouble; If in dol
lars or large pieces it's good luck. The
smaller the change the greater the
trouble.
To dream of fruit out of it's season
is a sign that you will have a quarrel
without reason.
To dream of seeing one in white is
a sign of death.
To dream of pork means death, to
dream of beef means a negro death.
Bad luck results from doing the fol-
lowing things:
To look into a we'll at l o'clock in
the day
For two persons walking together to
go on opposite sides of the same tree.
1t cuts their mothers grave, or divides
their Friendship.
To look in a cross-eyed persons eye.
To start anywhere and turn back. If
you turn back make a cross-mark;
this changes the luck.
For two or more persons to look in
a glass at the same time.
To sneeze while eating is a sign of
death. If a male sneeZes, d female will
die. and vice versa.
To sweep dirt out of the door after
sundown. You are sweeping out some
of the family.
To walk around with one shoe OIL.
You will have a hard time in life.
To shave at night. They shave you
at night when you die.
To sew anything while you are wear
ing it. Some one will tell lie on you.
To change the luck always hold some
thing in your mouth.
To shake hands across a fence.
To break the bread in another per-
sons hand. You will fall out.
If you are going fishing and want
good luck take an old shoe and just as
you are leaving the house throw 1t be-
hind you and you will have good luck.

No Safe Place.

When NJ. Trent decided to buy a
home In the south in which he and
his family could spend the spring
months, during which they had found
New England winds and weather
to be trying, he took journey OF
investigation.
Mr.. Trent was accustomed to be
treated as If his society was emil
nently desirable, and it was, therefore,
with a friendly and engaging smile
that he addressed melancholy per-
son who was lounging on the piazza
of the hotel at his first southern
stopping place.
I'm thinking of buying a place
down here" said Mr.. Trent. in a
half-confidential tone. Now, what
part of the coutry would you par
ticularly recommend? The landlord
tells me you've lived south for many
years."
Eyes, I've lived south long spell, "
admitted the melancholy man,
"though I was raised north, and I'm
willing to say right here and now
that you couldn't find a more favor
able nor a lovelier spot in this whole
state, sir, than this very town. 1
have lived here for five years, and If
I'd had anything like fair show 1
should have enjoyed every minute
of the time"
you haven't had a fair show?"
asked the New Englander.
NO" said the melancholy one: This
is a lovely spot, and If I'd had a
fair show I'd have enjoyed 1t; but
the first year I had fever and ague'
and the next year I was bit by a
shark. and the third year I had an
awful fight with a snake, that shook
up my nerves, and last year"
"I doubt If 1 should like this To-
cality," said the New Englander,
briskly.
The melancholy man looked at
him with a mild astonishment.
why, you know it's pretty dan
gerous living anywhere, stranger"
he said slowly. IF that's what
you're thinking about."-Youth's

A LIFE ANNUITY.-A Scottish life
office sold an annuity to Pat Maloney
and paid and paid and paid until
they reckoned his age was about 100,
when they sent an inspector to Tip
perary to interview the annuitant and
to make sure they were paying the an
nuity to the proper person. The ennis
sary called at the cottage and asked If
Pat Maloney was in. No; he was in
the field plowing. A centenarian
working plowman seemed rather an
anomaly. The insurance man found
the field and a man of about sixty at
work.
Are you Patrick Maloney?"
"Yis," he says, Il am"
Are you the Mr.. Maloney who draws

Expedition a Failure.
Very little blood was shed in this
expedition. Only two men were lost;
but it cost the colony an enormous
sum of money. No one except Gov
ernor Moore derived any advantage
from the expedition against st. Au-
gustine. and it cost the colony the
enormous sum of thirty thousand
dollars. and filled the minds of the
people with bitter animosities.
The headquarters of Governor
Moore whilst conducting the siege
was the Roman Catholic church.
This, as is always the case with such
churches. was richly furnished. Has
ty and precipitate as was the retreat
of Moore. he did not neglect to strip
the church of all its plate. In this
consisted his gain. Arriving at
Charles Town, he felt that he was at
least a richer man than he was when
he left. To some extent he felt that
this plate compensated him for his
inglorious campaign of a few months.
During the time Governor Moore
had gone on his st. Augustine expedi-
ton, the assembly was prorogued.
Soon after his return it was convened,
and ways and means devised for pay
ing the expenses Of the expedition.
Strange as it may seem, the people,
either because they felt that their
governor had disgraced them or be-

Ellis On The Cotton Situation.

James |. Ellis, business agent
for the Farmers Union in this
state, with headquarters at Little
Rock, says:
"As the cotton situation now
stands, it certainly is being gath
cred and marketed much faster
than the worlds requirements
demand. This is especially 80
this season, as the commercial
interests are demanding that
sales be made as fast as ginned,
regardless OF labor cost of pro-
auction
This influence has already cost
the patriotic and chivalrous South
the tremendous sum of over
forty millions of dollars"
Mr. Ellis declares it would be
the best thing for the cotton
growers if every gin in the South
would close down for thirty days.
