posed sultan of Turkey Abdul Hamid IL,
are to be given to the world. The minut-

LUCK AND NO LUCK.
Curious Superstitions of Wealthy Men
Of Large Affairs.

A clerk in a New York office is the
wonder of all his friends and acquaint-
ances. He is known to get only a
moderate salary, but he and his family
live in apartments that rent az IIoin
ZOO to $1,000 a year. 1t does not
seem that he can have private means,
for in dress amusements and style of
living the little household is simple in
the extreme. One other thing those
that know him noticed; he seems to
delight in moving frequently. 1t is al
ways, however, to IA house of the same
high grade.
The man is not monomaniac. as
might be supposed with an obession
for costly home far beyond his posi-
ton. He is just curious evidence of
a business supersttution of a New
York capitalist. This capitalist has a
fixed idea that little Mr.. Robinson,
| employed as bookkeeper and cashier
by favorite contractor of his, can
bring luck to every apartment house
he builds. Some years ago Robinson
was the first tenant in house of his
that started unpromisingly and then
brilliantly turned the scale. Since that
| time his contractors unobtrusive little
clerk must be the first to move into
each new house. Otherwise the build
| ing would be failure.
| The capitalist has waxed richer and
richer, and not building ,he has put
| up has been unsuccessful. Robinson
| lives rent free, and all his moving ex-
penses are paid. That compensates
| him for the inconvenience of moving
every six months or SO. Sometimes
| this odd mascot can only stay in a
house three months before a new
building is finished and ready for his
influence
