JUST MENTIONING HARD LUCK
Which 1t Would Seem Hard
to Beat

There was case described in the
papers recently in which a man, hur-
rying tn seek his bride who had failed
I" keep her appointment at the church,
slipped, and Il revolver which he had
in his pocket went off. He was wound
Ell, and to increase the injury the p0-
lice summoned him for carrying arms
without a license. And, of course. the
wedding was interfered with.
Almost on par was the case,
which happened some time ago, of n
little boy-of course, naughty little
bOy-who was comfortably and hap
PLY engaged in stealing apples from
a farmers orchard. He was getting
along very nicely, with pockets thar
were really bulging, when COW
strotied under the tree. The Gnimsi's
appearance startled the boy; he
slipped, and fell on the back Of the
COW.
The impact scared the COW. and It
made straight for home with an eX-
ceedingly unwilling passenger cIinging
tightly TO its back. The farmer hap
pencd to be at home To receive the COW,
and. as the boy fell off his pockets
emptied themselves of their store Of
apples. Let us draw q veil over the
ensuing tragedy of the farmer and the
naughty little apple St5aler.
The scene was Hyde Park corner. A
very well-dressed man. evidently hur-
rying to Victoria station, cut across
the road. He slipped and fell. His
bag strongly objected to this rough
treatment, and promptly emptied itself
of its weekend contents. The man
was nearly run over; some of the
things out of the bag were quite run
over. and the only consolation the
man got was the remark of passing
woman. who said that she admired his
taste in pajamas!
And the last example of hard luck.
1t happened on the east coast. He
was an enthusiastic fisherman. He
had had a very successful day, and
proudly exhibited his catch to a
stranger. Then he got another bite.
In his excitement he Overbalanced.
Fortunately the water wasn't deep. He
touched bottom and came up with an
enormous crab clinging viciOusly to
his leg.
When he crawled out he found that
the stranger had disappeared with his
catch of fish, and that his fishing rod
had gone for trip to sea. But what
really broke his heart was the action
of a facetious pier attendant, who
threatened to run him in for bathing
without a proper costume From An
swers, London.

ESQ Pictures a Second.

Designed particularly for making
motion pictures of birds and animals.
n new French camera, with speed o.
$50 exposures a second. is remarkable
for its ingenious method of keeping
the moving object in the field of the
lens, says Popular Mechanics Maya
zine. The sighting arm is so connect
ed to the pivoted mirror that they
move. together in geOmetrical relation.
and an image in the center Of the
finder is always reflected into the cen
ter of the camera lens, regardless Of
its position. The flight of birds, and
even of prOjectiles. may thus be re-
corded for further study, the object
being in about the same position on
each picture.

What's In a Manner

At one time the people believed
that the descendants OF Judas Is
CARROT were living in Corfu, although
those accused stOutly denied such an
cestry. In Brazil an efffgy of Judas
is carried by the school boys to
shin where sailors hang 1t from the
ward arm. In the Greek church at
SMYRNA once a year there is a cere-
mony at which a person is paid
great sum TO impersOnate Judas.
Such Is the feeling Of the people that
he who accepts this odiOus part Is
liable to retain the name through life.
