HORSESHOE A HooDoo

Says Dispatch.

Little Elmer Cook has good reason
to believe there is nothing to the time
honored theory among youths that to,
throw a horseshoe over ones left
shoulder is good luck. because he
tried 1t and it brought him a bunch OF
trouble.
Elmer was playing with two of his
companions when it came his turn to
throw the horseshoe the boys had
found at lower Stockton road and Y
street. The lad did not know that the
street car vas passing behind him un-
til he heard the crash of glass as the
lucky" shoe flew through the window
of the car.
The boy did not run. but stood his
ground and told the street car con.
ductor a straight-out story, explaining
that he hoped the horseshoe would
bring him good luck.
The car was we'll filed with women
and children at the time. but no ono

masters knows more Of camp cam

of the commissioned ones under tutel-

seemingly are much in earnest. They
have a lot to learn, but they are try

seem to know the dire need Of trying
to combine thoroughness with haste
in the present time Of danger.
The women of England, like the
women Of Germany, France and Aus

way as are the men. There is no line
Of endeavor outside that of the actual
bearing Of firearms which the women
Of England are not following. The

woman as just little bit his inferior.
The American learned long ago that
woman was mans superior, certainly
in moral courage and very likely,
when the pinch comes, in physical
courage. I have heard 1t said in Lon
