The Australians when they find a
horseshoe throw it over their shoulder.
A lady in Sydney found one and threw
It gracefully over her shoulder. It
went through a hatter's window and
hit a customer who was trying on a

impression that one of the shopmen in
a tit of temporary insanity had played
the* trick, promptly struck him and
sent him through the plate glass window.
A general melee ensued, although
on consideration nobody knew what it
was all about.
