Faith in Mascots.

It is not uncommon for women in
Scotland to become unnerved over the
loss of a mascot. A few weeks ago
in q small town in the south of Scot
land, a party of four sat playing
whist. During the whole of the first
rubber the hands dealt to one of the
players were deplorable. She got up
at intervals and turned the poker and
various other offending pieces of fur
niture, but in va:r. Then she went
upstairs for "Peter," small silver
"fums up" She put him on the table
beside the cards that were being dealt
to her. And from that moment on
wards she and her partner scarcely
lost a trick! Probably it was only
coincidence, but it was just one Of
these particular condolences upon
which people of a certain type of mind
willingly would found a universal
superstition, and which bring added
grist to the mascot mill of marvellous
happenings.

 FROM SOUTHPORT

 Cipher code telegrams exchanged between MT. Stillman and Florence H. Leeds, former chorus girl, with whom he was alleged by Mrs. Still man to be infatuated. may figure con- spicuously in the evidence fthe case ever comes to trial.
 Mrs Slllmans attorneys plan to subpoena records of both the West ern Union and Postal Telegraph com pany in an effort to obtain possession of cryptic naeSSa ges.
 Investigators employed by Mrs Stllman claim to have learned that the former banker has been receiv- ing such documents since his divorce suit assumed nation wide notoriety, and that they came from Miami, Fla. Southport, Conn, and Quoque, l.. I. Some of them are said to have been in well known form of code that could easily be read.
 InveSti gat tors have been told that many of them contained advice for the ex-banker in meeting evidence un- earthed by his wife. In fact the i'm the woman of mystery was virtu- ally directing the fight of the man declared to be the father of her young son.
 It is earned that what virtuayBdo
 IL is learned that what virtually amouns to an uItiHatum has been served on the former banker. If MT. Sti1lman does not accept it he may be forced to a trial regardless of his wishes.
 One of the next moves Mrs. Still man has in contemplation is an S500,- 900 alienation suit against Mrs. Leeds Mrs Leeds has already been named in the affirmative answer" to MT. Stillman's suit for divorce.
