Both Lucky and Odd.

Midway between sentiment and su-
perstitiyu lies feminine trait which
cherishes odd little trinkets that seem
TO bring luck. That any jeweled bauble
can possibly change the capricious
whins Of Dame Fortune remains as al
ways, q shadowy possibility. That
pleasant memory attached to some
small ornament can be constantly re-
called by the treasured trinket is with
out a Doubt So with divided affection
womeu still cling to the savage luck
charm as closely in 1906 as did their
barba lc sisters whose calendar was the
settirs sun.
1t is with the most up-to-date busi-
ness women that one finds the most
novel trinkets. Actresses particularly
wear unusual luck ornaments, and not
the least fetching of these is gold
chain which never leaves the neck Of
verv pretty leading woman in pop
ular theatrical company. Caught be-
tweer lie delicate links at intervals of
two 5a hes are all sorts of semi-pre-
cious s.0nes as well as genuine gems

gift OF ONE good friend who has been
assocg7.ed with her in her stage ca
reer and the chain already holds
twenry Jewels as well as a souvenir
pend1r gold and enamel brownie with
diamond eyes. The different stones
inclulc a rare yellow diamond and
topa7 several oddly shaped water
pearl and clasping the chain at the
back a large square garnet OF richest
hue
Then there is a very popular teacher
in ore Of the big cities who has been
at the head of shorthand school for
nunhcr of years. Her luck souvenir is
a coin waist belt made entirely OF ten
cent pieces. 1t was started by her first
class of girls. every one of whom was
devoted to her. When their term was
over. however. their very meagre pock-
etbooEs would allow the majority of
them 10 give only ten cents apiece. So
one of their members conceived the
happy idea of having the dimes Joined
in the form of bracelet, and each
girl initial was scratched on Lib
erty's cap.
As class followed class, the idea took
root and the ten-link bracelet has
grown to a good sized waist belt with
four rows of coins. Some are thick
and some are thin, and many bear hard

dime. but they all carry the initials of

Stopped the " Fast Flyer"

At a recent dinner at the White
House, the following story, was told
by one of the guests on Secretary
Taft, who was present, and who, by
the way, tips the scales at beyond the
three-hundred-pound mark:
The Secretary was returning to
Washington from Chicago aboard the
Fast Flyer" that only stops at large
cities. He had urgent business with
an old acquaintance of his who lived
at small station about two hundred
miles from Washington. the popula-
tion of which is about five hundred.
He asked the conductor il he could
stop the train for him at that place,
but he replied that it would be impos-
sible for him to do so-that he certain
ly would lose his job if he did. Well,
after much worrying over his disap-
pointment, Mr.. Taft thought of
scheme by which he could gain his
end, and when the train next stopped
he sent message to the superinten-
dent of the road, saying:
viii you stop your Fast Flyer" al
Denizien for a large party on way to
Washington? II SO, instruct conduc
tor to stop today"
About an hour passed, when the con-
ductor, passing through the train.
stopped at the Secretary's seat and
told him that he would be able to get
OF at Denizen as he had been ordered
to stop his train there for a large
party going to Washington. The Sec
retary smiled, with that childlike ex-
preston of innocence for which he is
famed, thanked him and settled down
again behind his paper. Two hours
later the porter of the train called
"Denizen. Denizen." much to the sur
prise of the passengers. Mr.. Taft
gathered up his handgrip and started
for the platform of the car, where he
was standing when the train came to
a dead stop. AS he stepped off the
train there was no one in sight but
the surprised-looking station agent.

said to John, when we got new cook:
Don't ever call me by my first
name in the new cooks presence.
Then. perhaps, not knowing my name,
he'll have to say Mrs. to me-"
so John was very careful always
to address me as 'Dearie' or Sweet
heart but the new cook-a watchful
chap-at first gave me no title at all.

HIS WIFE WAS A WONDER.

When the news Oh Ine uedtH VI tne
Hon. Yonks Van Dolsen reached
Wighamton it fell like wet pail over
the place. Richard Van Dolsen was in
the wild Missouri Mountains looking
up timber tracks that had been offered
at tempting prices, and Mrs. Van Dol
sen had to bear her sorrow alone. She
shut herself in her house and would
see no one but Miss Arsdale. When
she appeared again she was in deep
mourning and He'd East with her sor-
row.
There was no one in Wighamton
who could boast of such distinguished
ancestry as the Van Dolsens, except
Hetty Arsdale and she, poor girl, was
the last of her line. Poor in purse,
but rich in pride, Miss Arsdale was
a source of considerable worry to her
many friends in Wighamton. Being
an Arsdale, she could not stoop to
work, nor could she accept indiscrimi-
nate charity. She was, however, CRATE
ful for opportunities to relieve her
good friends of the regrettable neces-
sity of destroying such things, as they
no longer could conveniently keep. In
doing this she thought she was doing
a favor and her friends respected her
pride. but found II extremely difficult
to keep her alive and clothed.
Everyone said that it was really too
bad that the death of Yonks Van Dol
sen should occur at just the time it
did, three weeks before Miss Hetty's
wedding Miss Hetty had long been
looked upon as a confirmed spinster.
but, after having passed the forty
mark some distance, had met one Hec-
tor McGregor. and their wedding day
was soon settled upon. Yonks Van
Dolsen nearly upset everything, and
Mrs. Van Dolsen went into black, shut
up her house and then went away.
Some days after Mrs. Van Dolsen
had left for the East, Richard Van
Dolsen arrived in Wighamton, and
while on his way home met his friend,
Tom Garrick, and the two men ex-
changed hearty greeting, after which
Mr.. Van Dolsen asked about village
news and learned for the first of Miss
Arsdales approaching marriage.
Garrick walking by the side of his
old friend suddenly said, 'Dick, | sup
pose you know Mrs. Van Dolsen has
gone East?" We'll, no." said Van
Dolsen easily. but she rather expected
to leave before l got back" He looked
at Garrick curiously. Why do you
LOOK at me that way, Iom, tnere
nothing wrong with Elizabeth, is
there?"
No, not with Mrs. Van. Dick, but
Yonks Van Dolsen is dead" well,
should say he was, Tom; its certainly
time he was" But what is the joke?"
Il guess you don't understand me,
Dick, l said Yonks Van Dolsen was
dead. Your wife felt his death deeply
and when she left for the East was
in heavy mourning for him"
Van Dolsen dropped the heavy valise
he was carrying and laughed until he
was completely out of breath and
the tears were streaming down his
face.
Elizabeth in mourning for that old
rhinocerous-hided reprobate," he cried,
tom. you will kill me with your
talk"
They had reached his~ofice, and Van
Dolsen found the letter which he felt

friendship is the luck trinket of very
attractive young matron of national re-
nown. Five years ago in reply to her
wedding invitation came tiny white
kid box from well-known jeweler. 1t
contained two beautiful fancy gold
stock pins, each perfect imitation
of a peacock feather. The card en-
closed bore the name of a girl with
whom she had the very slightest ac-
quaintance, but whom she knew to
have liking for her future husband.
undaunted, the bride-to-be immedi
ately pinned one of these unlucky
feathers on her dress, and from thai
day to this she has never been with
out one of the other of them fastener
somewhere about her costume. Not
long since when this very happy
matron received the wedding invita-
tion of her husbands one-time friend
he suggested that his wife send q
handsomely mounted rabbits food a
a present She decided, however, that
fate had been in the way Of this jocu-
lar revenge.
The La Jara chronicle., 1906-04-20

sure his wife had left for him. After
reading and rereading the letter he
turned to his friend and said, ''Yes,
Tom, Yonks Van Dolsen is ,ad and
| am going in mourning for MIN; he
was a fine old man; my wife has writ
ten me all about it. There are some
matters, Tom, | cannot explain in
the family, you know, Tom"
AS soon as possible Richard Van
Dolsen had a Grape band sewed on
his hat but it seemed hard for him
to overcome his natural cheerfulness,
still he tried to enter into the crepe
band spirit and often said to his
friends, Yes, poor old Yonks is dead .
he was fine old man; l can scarcely
realize that | am in mourning for
him"
Ten days after Miss Arsdale's we'd
ding, Van Dolsen sent for his old
friend, Tom Garrick, and after care
fully closing the door to his private
office, said:
tom, I've been thinking things
over, and l guess it will be annoying
to Mrs. Van to do all the explaining.
so I am going to do it for her. Eliza
beth is the best woman on earth and
thinks of kind things that no one else
would think Of" "You know how
proud Hetty Arsdale is" Van Dolsen
continued. Funny girl, too; shed
take things no one had any use for.
but nothing she thought anyone could
use." Elizabeth was sorry for her
because she knew she had no proper
