The superstition about luck in horse
shoes dates back too far for record,
but il was not always confined to the
horseshoe. Any piece of iron found in
ones path was accounted a sign of
good luck, and as horseshoes were
more commonly picked up than any
other article of that metal that par
ticular object at last became the
standard emblem Of good fortune and
the supposed defense against bad luck.
In Aubrey's "Miscellanies," written
200 years ago. the author mentions
having seen the horseshoe nailed up
In church. and he also says that most
of the houses in the west end of Lon
don have the horseshoe on the thresh-
old-7 The horseshoe to possess virtue
must have been found, not purchased
or looked up. Admiral Nelson had
great faith in the luck of the horse
shoe, and one was nailed to the mast
Of his ship, the Victory. = London.

TRAIN AUDITORS" NOW.
Illinois Central to Try New Experiment
on Trains,

iiHtio'S SSHSTdI TO Try new Experiment
on Trains.
Fort Dodge, Sept. 13.-Arrangeme
are being made to place train audi
tors representing the accounting de-
partlnent, on the Illinois Central sys-
TEN. These men will take charge and
collect tickets and cash fares. They
Will relieve conductors of this work and
the latter hereafter will give their en-
tire time to the operation of the trains
This move of the Illinois Central is
in the interest of the public and with
the idea of insuring greater safety in
the handling of trains. 1t has been
the experience that the running of a
passenger train and the collection of
tickets is too much work to insure
perfec ton in both. 1t often occurs
that conductor must give his time
to the collecting of tickets, which is
clerical, when he should be on the
platform steps giving or receiving
signals or orders. While collecting
tickets the operation of the train may
be neglected and accidents have been
traced directly to this double duty.
There will be no change in the sal
aries or titles of the conductors and
they will continue as in the past to be
masters of their trains in everything
except the collection of fares and
tickets.
The auditors will have nothing
whatever to do with the operation of
trains. Under present arrangements
they will retain specific runs but if
conditions appear to warrant they
will be changed to other divisions.
For the purpose of ascerteinng the
amount of work on special runs a
flying squadron will be formed,
which, under the direction of the au-
ditor of passenger receipts will take
charge of trains for a week or a
month and thus develop the situation.
