by different people. The road extends
from Pine station to a sewing machine
factory at South Bend, having been
built to handle part Of the latter's
business. Through its charter, how
ever. the line Is forced to operate pas
senger trains, and once a day an en-
CINE and one car make a round trip.
Railroad men have long contended
that the New Jersey road was the orig
inal two streaks of rust" and the
three men who make up the crew OF
the only train ever operated over the
line are figures in many jokes. The
single train carries an engineer and
fireman, probably due to the fact that
the wheezy old locomotive, No. 4, needs
two men to run it. and a third man,
who is conductor, brakeman, mail
clerk. baggageman and ail.
The railroad has one main track, but
somewhat peculiarly, only two side
tracks. AS the switches are both in
South Bend the engine cannot turn
around when it gets to the other end
Of the line. and it is forced to back up
on the return trip.

dered to be cooked for dinner party.
The only doubt in the matter arose
SINE months afterward, when the
owner had another performer which
he said he had trained in the mean
time, but which some people consid-
cred had a peculiar resemblance to the
one that was believed to have been
eaten.
Then there was a host who took out
all the wires and work from highly
expensive grand piano, stopped up all
the holes inside, and then poured In
champagne until it was full and set
a suf1ciency of sterlets swimming in

There is another example in the cas-

superior kind, where a small ballet
was In progress. Young Dives had the
restaurant cleared of tables and chairs,
sent out for caviare and had it pasted
all over the floor until there was not
an inch that was not black with It.,
and then by instruction and at
price the girls Of the ballet in their
pretty costumes came on to this floor
and lay down on it and rolled from one
side Of the room to the other.

AIR MEN STRONG BELIEVERS
IN SUPERSTITI0US LORE.
Willard Flies With Rabbit Foot, and
esachey Likes Thirteen.

If any one thinks that aviators dc
not believe in luck or omens he should
mingle with the bird men awhile.
These kings of the air. are college
trained men. Most Of them have the
pennants Of Harvard, Yale, Cornell
and other universities of the east
hanging on the walls Of their dens at
home. They are men who would
scout superstition under ordinary con.
ditious.
But flying up to the present mo-
ment Is not ordinary, so this accounts
for the exception to the rule. Some
Of the bird men have queer little be-
liefs In the matter Of luck.
For instance, Charles Willard never
goes in the air unless a rabbits foot,
originally tied to the end Of his ma
chine by his sister, Miss Emily vii.

Willard says he would not feel safe
IL he went into the air without the
rabbits foot on his machine, and con-

he keeps the rabbits foot in sight bad
luck will be held at safe distance.
Walter Brookins has a queer notion
about things that he feels sure affect
his flying luck. He regards it as dis
tinctly an evil omen to take second
light on his cigar or cigarette-that
is, he will not let one person light a
cigar and hand the match to him.
Nor will he let one person hold a
match for him while he starts a
smoke. To do this Brookins is con-
vinced would bring bad flying luck.
He attributes one fall to violation
of this rule he has laid down for him
self.
Lincoln Beachey has penchant for
the number "13" and believes it gives
him good luck. He always asks for
this number at aviation meets and al
ways gets it, for other aviators shun
it. He has had few mishaps in avia-
ton and has great faith in the lucky
"18."
