GOOD-LUCK TOKEN
FROM FOREST MAY
Be GIFT TO TAFT
Horseshoe, Embedded In
Wood, Highly Prized BY
a.. Senator Stephenson.

Fifty years ago or longer. when Sena-
tor Isaac Stephenson was a young man
and the primeval woods of Wisconsin had
not yet made him a millionaire. horse
shoe; cast In forest path, was hung
over a branch of a young beech tree
and forgotten. Recently timber
cruiser" found the shoe deeply i'm
bedded in the wood and brought II to
.'Uncle Ike" who promptly offered him
$40 for 1t.
The curio may be given to President
Taft. There Is reason to believe that
the old beech knot has a deal of sent-
mental interest to Senator Stephenson.
and IL he gives it up the gift will bear
with II bit of regret.
Senator Stephenson believes the shoe
Is of English iron, and 1t Is evidently
hand made.
American iron was not good in those
days." he said. In the olden days, you
know, there was king whose horse
had four golden shoes. One was lost
and the finder was supposed to reap
good luck with the shoe. / suppose our
fancy about good luck and horseshoes
comes from that tale. Anyway, the
man who hung this shoe in the tree evil
eently thought of that proverb, and had
either kind thought for himself or
whoever should later find it,"

Ibedded horseshoe lays on the Senator >
