Is the firm conviction of almost all
railroad men that when one man is

other fatalities or accidents will follow
In rapid succession. 1t is considered
unlucky. before two or three days have

place OF another who has been killed
In an accident.

ern that the body was loaded In the
fate defying way.
But the railroad man is not alone
in his belief in omens and charms. The
passenger also has a pet lot Of super
millions that defy logic and the persua-
sion Of common sense. The belief that
the wearing Of white flower or a white
ribbon protects travellers from accident
is fairly widespread. Some believe that
burning coffee just before leaving on
journey is better than an accident pol

left armpit Putting a wisp of straw
in the bottom of the trunk Is believed
not only to protect the baggage from
loss, but also insure the safety of the
owner. Women sometimes pack their
stockings In the trunk in a mystic cir
Gle, as a protection from accident
There is a superstition that 1t Is I'M
lucky to lock the trunk before 1t leaves
the house, and with more apparent rea-
son, 1t is particularly portentous If the
trunk lid falls upon you while you are
packing.

car window there is compensation in
the knowledge that 1t means good news

pass derailed or wrecked locomotive,
1t is the sign that he soon Is to come

other lucky omen for a traveller.

traveller to cut his finger nails just

Every purposeful life gains some

that they so always to the most worthy.
You do not have to look far at any time
to find the microscopic mau with the
magnificent fortune. Often the richest
man Is the poorest kind OF a man At
any rate ii is certain that you cannot
pursue that prize with singleness Of
purpose without the sacrifice OF almost
every other desirable thing.
