LUCKY AND UNLUCKY DAYS

Pet Belief.

Cold, hard statistics prove that the
greatest number of premier awards
for gallantry were won on Monday.
No other day showing anything like
the same record, though the much
maligned Friday stands out notice
ably.
Which fact gives some color to tho
superstitions many people have about
certain days Of the week being lucky,
while others are unlucky.
Tuesday seems to be the bad day
Of the week; calamities are far more
common on that day than on any other
day. Railway disasters. fires, street
nccidents-the record In each case is
held easily by Tuesday. And II is
the day most favored, too. by those
who desire to put an end to their exist
ence.
Saturday also has bad reputation ;
Its speciality Is murders; and fully
half the petty crime that Is dealt with
In the police courts occurs on that
day. But probably that is because
Saturday also holds the record for
drunkenness.
There is nothing very distinctive
about Thursday beyond the fact that
1t Is the day upon which the birth
rate is highest; and Sunday is notice
able only for Its low death-rate.
Wednesday is, above all the rest,
the day OF weddings. This applies to
all classes, and nearly as many mar
rlages are celebrated on that day alone
as upon any three Of the others.--Mon-
treal Herald.

Copyright. 1s21)
In my resignation from the Ku
klux Klan, which I addressed to
William Joseph Simmons, Imperial
Wizard, on September 13, I made
reference to the relationship of
Edward Young Clarke, Imperial
Kleagle and Klaliff and Chief of
Staff of the Invisible Empire, and
Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler, his business
partner in the Southern Publicity
Association and other enterprises,
and his Chief of Staff of the
Daughters Of the Ku Klux Klan.
Out of Public View.
"In my resignation said, referring
to this relationship:
THAT your Imperial Chief Of Staff,
Edward Young Clarke, and his bust
ress associate, Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler,
were living on the same beautiful res
ervation on the outskirts Of Atlanta
which was recently acquired out of
their share of the spoils Of the mem
bership fund Of the Ku Klux Klan;
that this shameful and deplorable con-
dition existed with your full knowl4
edge and unofficial approval"
While I was in Atlanta there was
a great deal of talk about Mrs. Tyler.
In conversation with one Of the high
officials Of the order he said in con-
fidence:
you will find that Clarke's beau
tiful farm on the outskirts Of Atlanta,

he and Mrs. Tyler will not be SO much

expressed surprise, and he added:
Clarke and Mrs. Tyler have been
living together here in town, but they
were arrested, charged with disorderly
conduct, Clarke being found in Mrs.
Tyler's home in bed in his night
clothes. A vigilance committee then
waited on them, and they thought 1t
best to continue their actions in an
other locality"
1t was not long before the whole
story was told to me. 1t seems that,
at the instigation Of Clarke's wife.
Mrs. Mary Cartledge Clarke, who, with
been abandoned three years before by
Clarke, q raid was staged on the resi-
dence of Mrs. Tyler. 1856 South Pryor

Mrs. Tyler were arrested, taken be-

guilty Of disorderly conduct.
Certain whiskies seized at tho time
Of the raid were claimed by J. @. Jett,
Mrs. Tyler's son-in-law,, who accepted
the imposition Of a fine Of $25. Clarke
and Mrs. Tyler in this way escaped
responsibility for the liquor.
