FOLK ARE sUpERSTITIoUs.

Theatrical people, says Success
Magazine. are proverbially supersti-
tious. I know of one great actress who
never goes on the stage without first
crossing herself to insure good luck.
Some of our greatest stars would per-
haps retire from the stage If they
should lose the horseshoe Which is
nailed to the lid Of one of their trunks,
and could not get another. Mrs. Leslie
Carter always raps three times on the
wings before walking on the stage, and
she thinks this precaution will Danish
all evil influences. When Mary Ander-
son was on the stage she never dared
to peep through the curtain while the
house was filling. Many theatrical
people constantly carry around with
them for luck s'the left hind foot of a
graveyard rabbit killed by the light OF
the moon"

those things which could not be stolen,
such as mental and moral equipment,
skill and good fellowship. Then we
could be a little more sociable. We
could talk to each other without but
itoning our coats or feeling for our dia-
mond studs every few minutes. Then
the nan who willingly secluded him
self in a stuffy hotel cell could b,
locked in and made to stay there, on
the ground that something terrible was
the matter with him.-Success.

MICHIGAN MURDER MYSTERY,

MICHIGAN MURDER MYSTERY.
All day long Sheriff CASTOR and his
deputies have dragged Ecorse creek and
questioned residents 10 the doWn-river
district of Detroit in hopes of finding
some clew to the identity Of the decapi-
tated. srmless, and legess body Of the
girl found in the stream early yesterday
morning, but their efforts have as yet
been iD vain.
1t is thought that the torso, which
was securely sewn In weighted guuny-
sack, may have been thrown into the
water in Detroit and carried down the
river by the current until it reached the
creek.
Tho one clew OF The police has been
shattered by the finding OF Hattie
Hochsiadt. She had been missing from
Der home q week, and circumstances led
the officials to feel that she might have
been the victim. Last night the authori-
ties were endesvoring to fad come trace
of Mrs. Jessie Weber, who was report
ed missing from her home in Detroit
since August 13. Mrs. Weber went to
Detroit during the summer from Mime
spols, and her husband has since beeu
10 the city searching for her.
The county physicians feel certain that
the body had only been in the water a
few days, snd the age Of the victim is
estimated to be between 20 and % years.
When shown the trunk, the medical
men we're vIsibly surprised at the skill
with which the limbs, arms, aud head
were cut of. The flesh is little msugled,
and the emitting shows the work of an
expert. After examining the body,
both physicians gave it as their opinion
that the torso is that Of married won
