"Roaiesp In Rusiness.

The successful business man played with the quaint amulet suspended from his watch chain.
 You'd be surprised if you knew what n part superstition plays In business" he said. q know two part ners who are very lucky in their specu- lations. Well, they never made sln- gle plunge without consulting a cer- tain medium as to their chances of success.
 Another man once told me he had a familiar spirit whom he consulted quite frequently and whose advice he had always found reliable.
 "One of the most daring manipula- tors In stock has q fine tiger skin spread as a rug on his study floor. In m expansive moment he once informed n friend that not only did he seek ad- vice from clairvoyants and spiritual fists, but when. about to carry out one of his bold schemes he would lie on his rug and stroke the paw to get fn- lluence, though why and how this plan works I don't know."-London Throne.

Chair Hitchina.


 "The chair hltcher," says a business man, "ls the greatest nuisance that an office man is compelled to endure.
 "The hltcher Is always deeply inter- eSted In the matter he has come to talk over, and the more he talks the closer he draws his chair, and with every additional point he makes he gives his chair another hunch in your direction, and by the time he has fair ly entered on his subject he has his feet on the rounds of your chair, his elbow on your desk and Is dropping the ashes from his cigar on your coat sleeve It would be just as easy for him 10 make his speech or preach his sermon three or four feet away, but he never learns that fact and damages his own cause by dragging his chair over your carpet and pulling his breath in your face,
 'I know one office man in town who got so tired of having cigar ashes on his clothes and smoke poured into his face that he called q carpenter, took the rollers off one chair, placed 1t fin a convenient position at the end of his desk, then had the man nall 1t to the floor But 1t didn't do a particle of good. The first hitcher that came in was a biz, strong 200 pounder, who began his talk and, growing earnest, just pulled the chair up by the roots, dragged it toward the desk and never noticed that anything was wrong"- St. Louis Globe-Democrat

 0N DOME GREEK

The Panama Tribune gives the fol- lowing account of the latest Dome creek tragedy. mere bulletin of which received by wire at the time has been printed. The Tribune of October 20. says:
 Residents of the camp were yester- day morning shocked by the news of shooting affray occurring on the Shakespeare group, lower Dome, about 1880 a. m, when Carl Elbing was killed by Bob Dunn. The trouble between the two men i5 of long standing, so that it took but little to bring the quarrel to a point where fatal results ensued. Dunn recently sold his interest in the partnership of Morgan and Dunn to Elbing, These included an interest in the Shake speare group interests in a lay on the group. machinery, etc, Since the. sale Dunn has been staying on theI premises as before, occupying his old quarters. and being present at theI cleauups, where he represented some of the owners of the ground. His presence in no wise decreased theI friction before noted, so that whenI he appeared yesterday morning and demanded of Elbing some few dishes and points which he claimed were! his personal property, the shoulder ing spark of hatred rlared up and anI exchange of bitter personalities fol- lowed. Dunn is said to have started to strike ElbIng but the latter drewI a gun and stood Dunn off. Dunn then went and borrowed a revolverI from Phil Maher, after which he rec turned. determined to take possession of the dishes in question, and wentI into the mess house. Elbing followed and opened the door. Both men shot and Elbing sank down to theI ground outside, shot through the bodyI just below the heart Seeing thatI Elbing was seriously wounded Dunnl called up Dr. McCallum, who arrived on the scene half an hour later; also Deputy Marshal Pat Whelan, to hlmI he reported the occurrence. WheIanI instructed Dunn to come up the val ley and he woul! meet him. onI their meeting Dunn turned over toI the deputy the two guns stating that they had not been tempered with since the shooting.
 When pr. McCallum reached the scene of the tragedy he found that Elbing had been dead for some time, the bullet in all probability having cut one of the big arteries next to the heart
 Miss Susie Elbing, sister of the| deceased. was the only witness of the arfray and she claims that her brother did not fire either shot, both being fired by Dunn. An examination of the revolyers in the possession of. Deputy Marshal Whelan showed that both contained one empty shell. The. important thing in connection with the question is the bullet mark on the floor inside the mess house. From it's position it would appear that Elbing shot at Dunn but not quickly enough to stop the others shot,
