The Superstition Attached to 1t 10 by
No Means Modern.

The Superstition Attached to 1t 10 by
No Means Modern.
1t is usually stated that the supersti-
tious objection to sitting thirteen at q
table in Christian countries was based
on the fact of the last supper, when
Christ and his twelve disciples sat
down to eat together Immediately be-
fore the Saviour was seized by his en-
emies. But in the Morse mythology,
which Is supposed to antedate the In
PRODUCTION of Christianity among the
mortimer, we find the superstition re
ferred to the fact that at a banquet Of
the gods Loki, the spirit Of mischief,
intruded himself, making thirteen at
the table. wherefore there was q fight
and Baldour, a young hero especially
loved by all the gods, was killed. For
the fact is the objection to this mum
Der seems to have existed even before
Christianity. Among the Turks the
number is so disliked and feared that
1t Is never even named. With the AZ
tees, the aborigines Of Mexico, it was
believed to have magic power. and 8
like fancy has been found in other In
dian tribes. Among the ignorant
blacks Of the south the fear of this
number in any connection is actually
absurd, but whether they have Dor
rowed this idea from their tmperfec
knowledge of Christianity or whether
it is a survival of the Voodoo worship
of their ancestors it is impossible t.
say, for the superstition has a strons
hold everywhere, even among those
who should know better than to b,
swayed by 1t. In Italy it Is never uset
in making up the numbers of the ia
vorite lotteries, and in Paris it is omit
ter in numbering the houses on tn,
streets

1t is said that every man has some
little trick or other which he performs
unconsciously. especially when he Is
thinking. The sovereigns of Europe
have all their own peculiar habits.
For example. King Edward has a way
of passing his finger backward and
forward under his chin the German
emperor twirls his mustache with en-
ergy, while the King of Italy strokes
his gently and affectionately; the En-
peror of Austria combs out his whis-
kers, and the car frequently passes his
hand over the top of his head. Lastly
exPresident Lcubet has a trick of
struggling his right shoulder, and at
the same time smoothing the front of
his coat with his right hand.-Tit-bits.

A HARD LUCK STORY
FROM WABASH LADS
1t Is Claimed That Team Is
Hardly in Condition to
Meet Quaker Eleven.
SIGNAL PRACTICE DROPPED
CARVER, THE LINE PLUNGING
BACK, HAS A SPRAINED ANKLE
AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
PLAY AGAINST EARLHAM

Incident to the Earlham- abasn
game on Saturday, the following Craw-
louisville despatch will be of interest:
The first hard luck stories are now
ripe at the Wabash college foot ball
camp, and justly so. as quite a num-
Der of the men are suffering from in
juries which keep them from rounding
into perfect physical condition, and
still others are laid up to such an ex-
tent that they find it impossible even
to go through signal practice.
The latest addition to the rospital
list is Doc" Carver, the line plunging
back, who gave such a good account of
himself on last years eleven. He has
a sprained ankle which will not only
keep him out of the game against Earl
ham next Saturday, but will likely
keep him out of the big game a week
later with Purdue university. Col
bert, the star freshman half back from
Wabash, Ind, will most likely be used
next Saturday and Garver's loss will
not be felt so much, but the rub comes
in on account of the fact that Colbert
Is uOI eligible 10 compete against the
old gold and black because he is a
freshman.
Unless Carver gets back into shape
which is extremely unlikely, Coach
Cayou will be in a tight place. The
only other substitute back who is eli
gible under the Big Nine" rule is
STEERS. With Stiers in one of the half
back positions there would not be an
other available substitute to use in
case of an injury.
Short of Substitutes.
Out of a squad Of about thity men
only about fifteen are eligible for the
Purdue struggle. This means that the
Big Chief" will be decidedly up
against it in case any of the regulars
are injured severely between now and
the time for the big battle.
Other members of the team are suf-
fering with injuries which are interior
ing with their playing, among this
number being Jack Hargrave, the
speedy little quarter back, who is suf-
fering from wrenched knee; Colbert
with a severe Charley horse; Sohl
with bruised chest; Burns with a
sprained shoulder; Dobbins, with a
wrenched back, and Romine, with a
bad ankle.
