GAMBLERS AT MYSTIC FONT
Tenants in Building Testify to
It's Influence in Relieving
Business Cares.

Possibly the way to perpetual happiness
has been found. According TO report
current in real estate circles yesterday,
person weighed down with business cares
can unload his unwelcomc burden by
spending a moment or two in front OF
or on the stoop Of the city house where
former President Roosevelt was born.
This extraordinary talisman. possessing
both the power TO disperse or repel evil
forces and to replace sorrow with glad
ness, is the five story business building
No ~ East 10Th street.
The report did not say what would hap
pen 70 person who leaned against the
walls of the building OF stayed under It's
roof many minutes, Or hours for that
matter.
No one may be able to trace the source
Of this interesting report, which. II only
one-tenth true. will have large bearing
on many lives. But the rumor was quick
" discovered by Tribune reporter To bc
not without some slight foundation ana.
perhaps, as time passes il VIII he found
10 be a well established fact
Ira Schneider. a manufacturer. VINO j.
tenant OF the building. was asked II ne
had noticed marked increase IN MS
business since he had moved 20 the
premises. lie replied he had. He. how
ever. had not previously heard the report
that the building itself had the power 10
bring roseate business DAYS 10 any one.
But Il is nevertheless true he lansh-
ingIy exclaimed. that | have been VERY
successful since I became tenant OF this
building. ABOUT n month ago. ] had SIN
machines. and now am installing eight
more so YOU see am forging ahead ~
business rapidly.
This is the very room" added Mr..
Schneider. pointing TO rear room on the
third floor. "in which former President
Roosevelt was born. You see. | am put
ting uD my new machines there. ana II
business expansion docs not spell greater
prosperity. then do not know what Is
business prosperity
Several other tenants in the building
were visited. but they were said to be out
Christmas shopping That's another sign
OF prosperity.
A. near as could be learned yesterday
The report about the mystical powers oil
the building was due 10 an alleged street
brawl between two gamblers several
weeks ago One received q severe beat
Ing. lie then sat on the curb 10 await
the return OF his full senses. In fe"
minutes so the story runs. he felt better
than before the fight. and, looking up. he
saw this sign on one Of the windows OF
the buildinC. This Is the House In
Which Roosevelt Was Born"
Gee =" he exclaimed. 81 know now WHY
nv skull wasn't cracked. This building
couldn't be anything but lucky II Teddy
was born there"
Then the story runs that several gam
bIers. Oh hearing about the birthplace OF
Roosevelt. went to look ~ the building
and rubbed their backs against the walls.
They are said 10 have been unusually
successful in playing with Dame Fortune
since then.
