FOND OF MYSTERY
ALL PEOPLE HAVE SOME TRACE
OF SUPERSTITION.
Pet Belief in Luck, Good or Bad, is
Common Lot Of Mankind, Ae-
eording TO Or. Vincent
Of Chicago.

People like mystery-mysticism
Some oldtime superstltions are dying
out, but for each OF them a new one
comes-sometimes.t two"
Dr. George +. Vincent Of the Uni
versity Of Chicago made this remark
just after he had finished a talk to
students at manual training high
school, says the Kansas City Star.
The first ] ever knew OF supersti.
tions, he said, was when my father
broke a mirror at home 1t worried
him, and I asked my mother why.
It's bad luck she said.
Bad luck / pondered Why is II
bad luckY 1t was a mystery to me.
But / began learning something about
these mysterious beliefs. 1t brings
bad luck to cut the cord on a pack
age. they told me. 1t should be un-
tied It's bad luck to put on the left
shoe first, and it's bad luck to get out
on the wrong side of bed No one
knows why all these things bring evil,
but many persons believe they do

W - AAAeAf dAliCAAE Allt uFElOtH AlldA llltN
are almost innumerable. No one ex-
plains the reasons for their 'voodoos.'
Some superstitions are sensible.
For instance, it is said bad luck will
come If one passes beneath a ladder
Maybe it will. Maybe some persons
have been taught valuable lessons in
passing beneath them. 1t is uncom-

an ak dropped on ones head. Perhaps
this superstition originated from some
one who underwent such an expert
ence
The belief that If you pass a pin
without picking it up you will have
bad luck originated many years ago.
Pins were costly then and children
were taught to pick them up and keep
them for their value. They formed
the habit, and it has been handed
down from generation to generation
until It has become a superstition.
Perhaps some children who did not
pick up pins had bad luck when they
got home-bad luck administered by
the parent, forcibly and quickly, aud
with stinging effect"
DR.. Vincent smiled when he spoke
OF the number 13. So many persons
are afraid of it he did not deem it
worthy of mention.
Last week DR.. Vincent was lectur-
Ing on the subject, Superstition" He
declared that everyone had some par
ticular superstition to which Difference
was shown. An old woman who had
listened attentively arose and declared
she had none.
None at all?" she was asked.
None" she replied
A gray-haired man sitting by her
side nudged her.
How about them coffee grounds?"
he asked,
She blushed and took her seat. And
Of course the audience laughed.

Gun Winnlna Stream.

In the New Britain city clerks Of
fee is silver cup enclosed in a glass
case, says the Hartford Times. The
cup was won by New Britain firemen
in a state parade and tournament in
New Haven so years ago. The event
which the firemen won was a stream
throwing contest. Fifty or more of
the husky fire laddies dragged a small
tub" as IL was called, through the
streets of the Elm City, and the crowd
on the sidewalks laughed and jeered
the firemen from the Hardware City.
Laugh, If you will, but he laughs
best who laughs last" yelled back the
foreman in answer To a particularly
noisy party, and he expectorated to-
bacco juice.
In the contest the stream from the
tub" was thrown skyward lar in ex-
cess of other competing teams The
next day the company returned to the
home city and We're given a reception
in spite of the prevailing heavy rain
fall. The foreman of the company
spoke, and in his remarks said:

was sent up in New Haven yester-
day"

WHAT WESTERN CANADA DOES.

Mr. ". n. Rogers, Canadian Govern

Ny Dear Sir
When you were at our place in July
I promised to write you what my
north quarter made per acre. You
will remember it was all sown to wheat.
Well. / finished threshing yesterday
and received from it an average OF
43i4 bushels per acre-testing 64lh
pounds per stroked bushel. The wheat
is the best sample / have ever raised
SO uniform and even in size. You
may know it was a good sample when
| tell you that have already sold 2,00G
bushels Of 1t for seed to my neighbors.
This year has been my best effort in
farming during my life. My wheat
totaled $3.50 bushels and my oats
nearly 5000.
If you remember ! pointed out to
you a half section lying just west OF
our house and Joining my upper quar-.
ter on the south, which | said / should
have in order to make one OF the best
farms in western Canada. / am very
glad to be able to tell you that | now
own that half section. My ambition
now is toIbe able to market 10000
bushels of wheat next year If some
Of those good, honest Hoosiers could
have been with me during the last two
weeks and could have seen the golden
grain rushing down the spout into my
wagon and then could have seen it in
great piles in my granaries, feel sure
they would have been forced to
acknowledge there is no better farm
ing country in the world than this. |
may just say that have done all my
farming with eight head of horses and
one hired man except during harvest
and threshing. This year l proved to
my neighbor that the Hoosiers, when
once woke up" can raise grain equal
to the best Minnesota farmers. His
best yield was 421a bushels per acre,
so you see "old Indiana" is holding the
ribbon this year
Yours very truly.

How to Sleep In a Blanket.

There are a great many very COM
petent treauses telling you how to
build your fire, pitch your tent and all
the rest Of it. l have never seen des-
cribed the woodman's method of using
blanket, however. Lie fiat on your
back. Spread the blanket over you.
Now raise your legs rigid from the
hips, the blanket, of course, draping
over them. In two swift motions tuck
first one edge under your legs from
right to left, then the second edge un-
der from left to right, and over the
first edge. Lower your legs, wrap
up your shoulders and go to sleep. II
you roll over one edge will unwind
but the other will tighten.-Stewart
Edward White in Outing.

Senators Much Alike.

Senator Simmons, of North Carolina,
and Senator TaHaferro, of Florida, look
enough alike TO be twin brothers.
They are about the same size and
build; each has heavy crop of hair
which is kept closely trimmed, and
their short, stubby mustaches are
much alike. Both have dark eyes
and there is probably not two pounds
difference in their respective weights.
If it were not for the fact that the
Florida senator has few more gray
hairs in his head than his North Caro-
lima colleague it would be almost inn
possible for the senate employees to
tell them apart.

Proof of Merit.

The proof of the merits of a plaster
is the cures it effects, and the volun-
tary testimonials of those who have
used Allcocks Plasters during the
Dast sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence of their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical.
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcock's are the original and gen.
uine porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in
them. Avoid substitutes as you would
counterfeit money.
