AT THE LUCK GODS SHRINE
Many Superstitious Women Believe in
 Charms and Talismans

No amount of reason, it seems can ever convince a superstitious woman of the folly of her belief in charms and talismans and even some men with reputation for intelligence will confess to a certain prediection for carrying little trinkets that are supposed to ward off bad luck or to bring good fortune.
 At a recent wedding it is related that one unmarried guest approached the bride and asked her to take out a hairpin from her cOiffure after the wedding and to beStoW it upon her as the Wearer of this by the recipient was supposed to bring about the luck of finding a handsome and suitably wealthy husband.

 PENSIONERS
Bureau Circular Announces Changes in Method of Payment, Under a New Law Passed August IF of This Year

John L. Davenport. commissioner of Pensions. has issued the following circular which will be of interest to all pensioners, suggesting that it be kept by them for reference:
 Pensions falling due on December 4. 1912 and thereafter, will be paid without vouchers in all cases in which vouchers and penalty envelopes are not furnished. Those receiving vouchers with their checks must execute and present them for payment as hereto fore.
 Checks drawn without vouchers will be mailed to the last known post of flee address of the pensioner, on the date the payment becomes due, and no receipt will be required
 Postmasters will not forward letters containing pension checks
 To prevent their return and insure prompt delivery pensioners paid with out vouchers must give notice of any change in post office address before the time for mailing their checks.
 Such notices must show the number of the pension certificate and the law under which the pension is granted as we'll as the pensioners name, to pre- vent error, as there are many lnstanc- ses of more than one pensioner Of the same name. They should be addressed to the pension agent who pays the pen sion until January 31, 1913, after whlcfl date they should be addressed to the Commissioner of Pensions, Washing ton. D. C.. as the Act above cited apol- ishes all pension agencies from ana after January 31, 1913, and provides for payment of pensions by disours- ing clerk under the Commissioner or Pensions.
 If the pension certificate is lost the pensioner must make prompt appllca- tion to the Commissioner of Pensions for a new one, as checks to be issued without vouchers cannot be lndorSeu without exhibiting the pension certi- ficate to two identifying witnesses J.

MAKE DEMAND
 FOR OVERTIME
Employees of State Asylum for the Insane Do Not Believe It Legal to Re quire Them to Work Thirteen Hours Daily

Believing that the state law fixing the hours of employment for state employees at eight hours daily, af- fleets those employed at the state asy- Ium for the insane, a number of em- ployes of that institution are agitat- ing the plan to make formal demand for an eight hour day or that they be paid overtime whenever their ser vices are required for greater period of time than eight hours in any one day. But it is understood that Superintendent A. C. Gingsley will refuse to recommend that the demand be recognized and that he will not change the present hours of employment unless compelled to do so.
 While there may have been other reasons actuating his resignation, J. C McGrath, for several months em ployed as an attendant at the state hospital quit the service Thursday after having made a formal demand for overtime and receiving d flat re- fusal from Superintendent Kingsley. McCirath pointed out the law to the asylum executive who is said to have claimed that under the very provi- sions of the act under which Me Grath made his demand it is permit ted to direct employees of the asylum to work the hours now required.
 Attendants at the state asylum are on duty from 6:3O o'clock in the morning until 7:30 o'clock in the eve ming. or thirteen hours each day. They receive a Sunday off every three weeks and half day off every two weeks
 According to McGrath there are number of employees who are con ttmplating leaving the service by October l, unless their hours are shortened or they are given overtime. II is said. too. that cOnsi i1erable dis satisfaction prevails over ihe prOpOS ed adoption of a merit system adopt ed by Superintendent Kingsley. Here tOfore an emplOye remaining in the service six months automatically re- ceiVed an increase of five dollars in his or her wages. At the end of years continuous service another in crease of five dollars per month was allowed and at the end of two years another and final five dollars was added to the monthly salary. Under the proposed merit system all this would be changed, the employe re- ceiving an increase of wages only when his service merited it, and the perintendent being the sole judge of the efficiency of the service and authorizing an increase at his own discretion.
 The employees who would be affect ed by the proposed system do not in the least approve of it, claiming that the placing of such authority in the hands of one man would not result in absolute justice to them. They feel that an emplOye who is suf- ficiently valuable to retain after six months employment, is certainly worth five dollars a month more than when he began by reason of the experience he would secure during that time If he is not worthy of an increase at that time he is not worthy to he retained in the service

THE LATE CROP

The Rev. John B. Craft was conduc- ting a series of meetings in rural neighbOrhood of southwest Virginia. One night he was trying to bring the necessity of early embracing religious hope to bear upon his congregation. Said he, We'll just illustrate: You begin in February or March to prepare your ground for planting out your spring crop. You plant in April to be on time.

 Those who wear Egyptian talis mans, perhaps rifled from the num- mics. chance their luck, as none can tell what influence they will bring to the wearer. Treat the talisman with reverence and it will bring you good fortune" it is said, but laugh at it cynically and 1t will reward you with it's most malign influence.
 A golden globe is supposed to bring good fortune if worn by the right per son. Some women are unhappy un less a talisman of good luck is af- fixed to the head of their bed, and a popular one for this use is a me dallion representing the patron saint of their birthday month.
 Of course, many people are aware of the superstition as to the right position in sleeping. Lie with your head to the north and you will have sickness; the west gives you fame; the south confers long life; while sleeping with the head to the east brings health and riches.
 Another superstition of the modern woman which she ayers is not super particular color to bring health and long life.
 To ascertain the particular color that will bring the Wearer good luck in this way it is necessary to study the influence of colors and to see which produces the most soothing ef- feet.

', CAMPAIGN
 |S EXTENDED
Workers Are Securing Good Results But Have Been Unable So Far to See All Their Prospects,; New Members Enthusiastic

So busy were the Y NJ. C. A cam paigners bringing in new members yesterday they could not see all the fellows. whose names were on the list. The total of new men secured in the last three days amounts to about hundred. as Secretary Graham says, squeezes the hundred mark pretty closely
 In order that number of men and boys. who were not called upon may have the opportunity to join the Y, the campaign is extended over today. Committees are fuller than on the last three days, so the work will be divided. More applica tions can be sucered and a still greater addition made to the membership rolls
 Campaigners say it is easy to get new members. The rate is so rldlcu- louSly low and the return promised so large. it is only necessary to mention 1t to great many pOssibles to get their consent to joining. It was hot day yesterday. and many campaigners spent their whole time making calls. Most of the new members made it point to become moist in the swim ming pool yesterday afternoon and at times the big tank was so thick 1t couldn't be stirred with a stick The gym was we'll patronized also, Pro lessor Fitzgerald's late class being filled with athletes and would be strong men
 TOday's battle ought to add at least an additional fifty to the rolls. Not One-t third of the possible members have been seen. By a good hard day the committeeman will not only add to the size of the Y, but will make this notable as the best campaign the as sociation was ever gilty of springing.

BRYAN AND HIS APE.

There is only one way to compare
Mr.. Bryan and me. That is to com
pare his words with my actions. -
This is the language of Theodore
Roosevelt when shown an article,
written by Bryan at the request of
the Newspaper Enterprise Associa-
ton, in which is discussed the politi-
cal differences and agreements be-
tween Roosevelt and himself. 1t is a
brief, modest and dignifed draft of
the main points OF difference and
agreement between the two in which
Roosevelt's motives are not ques-
toned and in which there is no in
intimation of larceny.
It will he mated that the Rough
rider touches very briefly and ginger
ly upon the subject and with charac-
teristic shrewdness of evasion. There
is a twofold reason for his brevity
and the yelled sarcasm of the thrust
with reference to "Mr. Bryan's
words. In the first place, in the one
pen-and-ink clash between them the

THE JUNkETlNG HABIT.

The city of Richmond is having
something of n rucas on account of
what one of the papers calls "junket-
mig trips" taken by number of
councilmen, who have the awarding
of contracts, at the expense of con-
tractors and firms having material,
machinery, etc, to sell, and who are
bidding on contracts. These contract
ors gave Il free excursion, it seems,
to certain councilmen, to the manu-
featuring establishment or headquart-
ers of the contractors. and while inspec-
ting machinery, material, etc, were
incidentally, of course, shown the
sights and extended the courtesies of
the city. This disguised form of brib-
cry and graft is practiced, or at
tempted to he practiced, in other and
smaller places than Richmond. We
have heard of such things in connec-
tion with the building of roads in this
and other counties. The agents OF the

What the Outcome?

Roosevelt would be rare figure of
fun if he were not so dangerous; but
the antics of more than half-mad
clown flourishing loaded revolvers in
the face of his audience, however
grotesque they may be, supply at
best only mixed amusement The
farce may at any moment become a
tragedy.
The stakes that are being played
for in Chicago are triGe too heavy
for the game to every diverting to
the public that may have to pay them
We can well understand that to
Republican party leaders there is lit
tie of the comic in the present con-
test. Whatever else may be uncer-
tain. it is fairly certain now that not
even the traditional discipline of the
republican party will enable it to
close up its ranks and present solid
front to its enemy when the conven-
ton contest is over
Whatever else Roosevelt has done
or may y't do, it is pretty clear that
he has had the honor of destroying his
party. Whether he can successfully
organize and launch another remains
to be seen.
Much will, of course, depend upon
the wisdom shown by the Democrats
at Baltimore. AS matters now stand,
it is clear that the great bulk of the
regular Republicans cannot support
Roosevelt even if by any chance he
should be nominated. If he be not
nominated, as at present seems fairly
probable, it is clear that he and his
"thick and thin" followers will bolt

and seek to carry off n sufficient
number of Republicans to form a
nucleus around which to rally a popu-
lar Roosevelt party.
Roosevelt has -asseverated so often
and so loudly that HE is the repre-
sentative of the people, their cham
pion and mouthpicee, and the sole re.
pository of their power and author
ity, that it is entirely possible that he
believed it himself, and hence has no
shadow of doubt that it is only for
him to give his personal banner to
the wind for a great army of voters
to spring up around him. drawn lar
gely from both political parties, and
numerous enough to overwhelm both.
The man is utterly obsessed with
himself. and his faith is unshakable.
He calls himself Republican; but
he will remain Republican only so
long as that party recognizes his will
as its supreme law. Should it cease 10
do this, he will unhesitatingly turn
on it and sell to rend it.
