Back, of this city, is one of these who
has confidence that calamities, dis
asters and minor tragedies usually a
be traced in groups of threes," a be-
lief quite common, for instance, among

In view of the fact that two tor

few weeks ago, both doing considerable
damage, Mr.. Beck concluded to slip
one over on number three when it
comes along. During the past few days
he has had a fine cyclone cellar con-
structed on his premises and is per-
fectly free to admit that he will "duck''
