Fortune
May Knock
Your Door
unsupported
Garb.

PICTURES OF Ddihe FOItuhe 1hAs
hang on the walls of memory portray
her as a sprightly. queenly dame with
radiant smile and garb OF rare beauty
and fantastic brightness.
According TO the old adage. For.
tune knocked at every mans door
once. at least. In his life. She made
her presence known to the sons OF
men through her rich, ripping voice,
stately mien and gracious, yet con
descending manner.
Believing that Dame Fortune comes
in that way. many men have kept the
habitation OF their life in order,
trusting that. finding the latchstrns
out, she would come In and make her
self quite at home.
But, alas and alack. waiting for
Queenly dame to appear they have
been sadly disappointed, for instead
OF a dame courtly and gracious many
people have seen only sc>called com
mon and inferior people coming to
the door OF their lives.
This is the twentieth century Tho
commonest things of life are the
greatest things OF life Dame Fortune
no longer goes forth as a stately
dame, but comes into the busy bust
ling, bursting old world in strange
guises. Nowadays when Dame For.
tune goes visiting she goes in strange
and unfamiliar clothes:
Who would have believed over III
the State OF Connecticut just a few
years ago that It was Dame Fortune
knocking at a poor mans cottage,
rather than an old tramp? Yet 1t was
Dame Fortune in the garb OF
tramp.
The facts were these: A man,
poor man sat in his house wondering
how he could get money enough TO
buy his boy a pair of red-topped boots.
Wondering how, when the boots were
bought, he could keep them from
wearing out under the rugged tread
of the ragged boy that would be In
them. He held in his hands an old
pair of boots A tramp passed that
way. Asked for food. 1t was given
him.
The tramp asked the man what
he was doing, and in peculiar burst
OF confidence the man told the tramp.
want TO save the boys boots from
Being kicked out at the toes, do you?
Well, here" and reaching down to
the floor, the tramp picked up thin
strip OF copper and bent 1t over the
toe OF the boot the man had been
holding and said: There's your idea;
get II patented"
Then he disappeared. The man
thought the thing over. He made a
machine Tor putting copper toes on
boys boots. Thus he made a for
tune. Who will say that Dame For
tune had not started out that morn
ing dressed In strange garb?
Last summer a young man OF a
certain city found himself out OF
work, In common with many others.
One morning ne was trimming h'S
fathers lawn, doing as neat and fine
a Job as possible. Across the street
an automobile had performed one OF
the fantastic stunts that only a yicl'
Gus minded automobile can.
(Question: DO automobiles have
personality BY the way they act
they evidently have)
THIS young man, OF seventeen.
drlfted across to see what was the
trouble. He found the driver frettlng
and tuning. while an elderly gentle
man and lady We're anxiously consult

At last, in despair, the driver said.

YATES AGAIN
TAKEN IN

The Yates baseball team was
down last Sunday to get revenge
but owing to the wind the game
didn't amount to much. Only five
innings were played and during
that time Beach Fan up so many
scores that it was impossible to
keep track Of them. Some say it
was 26, but others say that it was
more than that-not counting the
scores the wind blew away. A
week from Sunday Belfield will be
here and you can bet the fur will
fly, as Belfield is loaded for a bear.
Next Sunday Wibaux may be down
but no definite arrangement as yet
have been made.
