Luck.

GEORGE AIDE, at a dinner,
said of luck: Nobody IS so
dependent on luck as the play
wright. When he prospers he
considers luck a kindly goddess: but
when his work fails then luck seems
to him a spirit perversely cruel and
mean.
He regards luck then as Tom Jack
sons wife, of Lafayette, does.
Tom Jackson said one morning at
breakfast:
Hang it all. while 1 was wedding I
dropped my Imperial Order of the
Rooster's pin on the lawn. and I've been
looking for it now over. half an hour.
It's gone for good, I suppse'

lTHE manager Of the Chestnut

u many years ago, was more noted
for his business acumen than as
being prize photographed scholar.
1t was his custom to announce the
forthcor1ing appearance OF stars by
big banner hung across the thorough
fare Of the Quaker City in front Of mis-
establishment.
When the artist made the banner and
spelled the word arrival with one !.
as is proper, 1t didn't look just right to
certain friend of the manager. who
came to him and said:
(, Your artist is all wrong: he has
spelled arrival with only one L.
Straight back to the man with tie
brush went the manager. and with
much wrath delivered himself of the
following:
What do You mean by having onlv
one l in 'arrival?' You'll ruin my bust
Eess. Do you think you're capable ot
hciding an important job like yours:
