LUCK.

Luck is the power, much more mysterious than the attraction of grayitation, which gives you the good things you don't deserve, and keeps you working for everything you get when it deserts you and chums up with your hated rival.
 Luck is controlled by trust and cannot be bought in sealed paper packages. Men are born with luck. just as they are born with red hair and Jacksonian Democracy - though they can lose the luck. while the others are permanent. With luck a man can drop a diamond-stud- ded watch into the river and can stun catfish with a clam full of pearls in it's stomach. With luck a man can have $10 worth of chickens stolen and can trace the thief b. means of a pocketboOk full of $20 bills which tEe latter has dropped in the henhouse. With luck a man can have his political career made instead of ruined by being elected vicepresident - up to date this is luck's most wonderful achievement.
 With luck a man who cant earn S2 a day with his muscles, or 9 cents a day with his brain, can sit down before a little table with fun ny marks on it and can make 5000
