LUCK FOUND IN H0RSESHOES
Originally Intended as Happy En-
bIems for Soldiers and Sailors
Still Retains Popu arity.

Horseshoes are supposed to bring
good luck to the finder, but originally
they were intended as lucky emblems
for soldiers and sailors.
The horseshoe became a military
mascot in the Thirteenth century. a
shoe cast by an English baron's war
horse was carefully priced as luck
bringing emblem. He said it would
carry him safely through any war in
which he might engage, and secure
him victory in tits and tournaments.
The baron established a great name as
q fighter and he vanquished many foes
without sustaining any serious injury,
so the horseshoe Immediately became
popular mascot among military men.
Henry II was firm believer in the
horseshoe as a lucky emblem, and he
presented a gilded horseshoe to many
of his regiments. When the monarch
presented the barony of Oakham to
Walchelin de Ferreis, the new lord, to
please the royal donor, demanded Of
every other baron who passed through
odhudIu 1t HlUt lIOll lllt lOl sc 6iNlhuliy
ridden by him. Today Oakham hall con-
tains something like 200 shoes. dating
from that time till 1895. Amongst
them is one from Queen Elizabeth, one
from Queen Victoria, one from Queen
Alexandra, and another from the late
King Edward
In the present war the horseshoe
still retains it's popularity as mascot
amongst soldiers and the cast-off
shoes Of horses are solemnls nailed
on tent poles, on the side Of wagons,
or tied to gun carriages. A recent pho
tograph of the crown prince of Ger
many revealed the fact that he has
horseshoe attached to the side of his
field motor car.
Sailors cherish horseshoes as luck
bringers, and before the days of dread
naughts it was Jacks practice to nail
a horseshoe upside down on the mast
Of his ship. Nelson nailed a horseshoe
with the points upward on the mast
of the Victory before he took the ship
into action at Trafalgar,

The larkspur and the marigold-sweet

The while picture other days, and
slaGowy forms appear,
Dream faces smile mid candle light,
and sweet old songs hear,
The bride upon her wedding day comes
softly down the stair.
An old man dreams Of youth within his

The picture changes and boy with

FINANCIAL CENTER OF WORLD
American Dollar Now at Premium in
All international Exchanges
Clear Through New York.

1t is the announced purpose of one
of the great trust companies of New
York to sell travellers letters of credit
figured in dollars instead of pounds
sterling. They will be cashable at
established banking agencies abroad
at fixed rates between the dollar and
the money of the visited country. The
expenditure will be collected through
dollar drafts drawn on and cleared in
New York, instead of through sterling
drafts drawn on and cleared in Lon
don.
AS a symptom of broad tendencies
in world finance induced by the war,
this is important The American dol
lar is now at a substantial premium
in practically all of the international
exchanges. 1t is preferred above any
other money in settlement of interna-
tional transactions, as it is more eff
fectiye than any other money for
these purposes. Every foreign nation,
whether at war or neutral, would
rather have a credit account here than
anywhere else.
The financial center of the world is
now admittedly in New York. VIII
it remain here after the war? Our
travellers abroad in peace times spend
yearly $150,000,0OO or more. If this
great credit sum were hereafter to be
cashed abroad in terms Of dollars
and cleared and collected through
New York instead of London, an
agency of no small effect would be set
in action to hold here the financial adj
vantage which the stress of war has
forced Europe to surrender for the
time being.-NeW York World.

But, after all, the experience OF one is

Also, it is a strange truth OF human ma

little experience OF our own than 10y
any great experience Of some one else.
DO not lose sight OF Yourself at your

too, had the large hope, the Maynard

resentment Of control.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN.

Don't mistake notoriety FOR fame
Don't let others spend the money
you earn.
Don't DO work unworthy of you if
you can avoid it.
Don't say 81 am gentleman" it is
never necessary.
BE loyal to death to those who have
betriended you.
When you assist the needy, don't do
it Internationally.
Silence is the best weapon to use
against vulgar and spiteful tongue.
Don't introduce a lady's name where
you wouldn't introduce the lady.
Don't count much on friendships
formed in cafes. They never turn out
we'll.
Remember impertinence isn't wit,
any more than insolence is brilliancy.
II you learn that people say spiteful,
wicked things about you, and untruth-
ful things at that, be silent.
1t isn't very nice thing for young
man, or anyone, for that matter, to
smile in a superior way at ignorance.
DO not be afraid to go near your en-.
envy. The nearer you get to a kicking
horse, the less damage is done to your
person.
