SURE TO BREAK THIRD TIME
Man Knew What His Spectacies Would Do, So lie Got Ahead
 Of Fate.

A 1eweIer in Brooklyn recently showed the humorous phase of super stition as 1t troubles some people.
 "A man came into my store with pair of spectacles he had dropped on the floor and broken" ho said. T have an optician with me. A price was giv- en for the repairs and the work was done. When the glasses were deliy- cred the customer said he'd been pret- ty lucky with them: this was the first time in three years they had been bro ken. But the next day he came around again. lie had dropped them and they had broken within ten hours aft CT they had been fixed.
 "'I want you to make a good job oi it," he told me, so they won't break again
 He said he would call for them When he did and when they were giv- en to him he asked if had glass paperweight or something the least bit heavy. My medium-sized hammer was handy and I asked him if that would do. wondering what he wanted them for. He took the hammer from me and laid the spectacles on the floor ! Then he took the hammer and hit the offending lens a hard blow. There. he said. as he strengthened up, with the pieces in his hand. I've fixed that Now will you kindly repair then again?
 Naturally, wanted to know why | he had done this.
 Superstition. he replied. I've al
 ready broken them twice and ther' | was sure to be a third time. lv' brought that third time about so wouldn't have to lose more time thai
 necessary. Now. if you will hav'
 them fixed I guess they'll never breaI | again."
