j.<rom now on, I ?m believing in
Vna. I am not euperatitious,?hut
I am going to be careful. I have
had too much trouble during the
pa'8t four months not to wake up.
On February 4, I saw the new moon
I thru some telegraph and telephone
wires ami did not -throw a handful
of dirt over my left shoulder to ward
off bad luc)c. The following afternooh,

I not heard hair nor hide of it since.
I Loss. $600.00.
On February 13, I walked under a
painter's ladder on my way homo to
lunch. When I arrived, I found that
a covey of thy wife's kinfolks had
come up to spentfra few week-ends,
and furthermore?a water-pipe had
busted in the basement, and that reI
quired the help of' a plumber and a,
I helper and a pumper. Loss, not
I counting meals and beds, $7.25.
,.On March 2, two black cats sped
aorost the street only 16 feet ahead
I of me. The very next day, I wa?j
! being afisisted to a platform at one
I of our warehouses, and my foot
I slipped, and I almost broke one of
I nit legs. It was bruised and skirtl
I and perforated and bunged up from
I my knee on down. After paying the
I doctor and 4 drug stores fo$ plasters,
I anti septics, ansoforth, I was out ex-1

I ..I knocked over the salt-shaker at
I dinner on the evening of March 15
I- u.id failed to pitch a pinch of the
I said salt over my right shoulder, but
I never thought anything of that.
I Three days later I sold a man a bill
I of goods on credit; he sold them foT
I cash: closed up his store; lit out for
I balmii r shores, and I haven't even
I the slightest^dea of what state in the

I not counting 'punitive and sleep,
I ..On March 30, I s^t dowi^ to supI

I dren (not all mine, thank the Lord),!
I and the next morning, I leaned up
I against a wall of ^our new building j
I that had been freshly painted, and j
I ruint a beautiful $3.98 suit. Thusly,
^ I have been jinxed both pro and con '
for several months. I ke?p my Angara
crossed all of the time these
days, and dodge ever ill omen (not
ill woman) that I see approaching
ror this morning, I did every stunt
known to heathens to off-set the badluck
that always follows such an
event.

Mighty Forest Fire
In North Carolina
Kapp's Mill, N. C., May 5.?The
mqst extensive and disastrous fire
northwest North Qarolina has ever
known was smouldering sullenly this
morning, apparently . burning itself
out after spreading over 300,000 acres
of wood and farm lands. Fire lighters
are continuing their watchfulness,
but in the absence of another stiff
breeze, further spread of the fire is
not anticipated, as- it is believed to
have used all its fuel in the affected
area.
v. AMjkprvey today showed that the
Stone Mountain-Roaring Gap elevaHoir
fire covered a distance of about
15 miles and cut a path roughly a
mile in width. The Mitchell river
valley fire was also about 16 miles
long and more than a mile wide.
Both these major fires are believed
to have finished their destructive
work, though still burning in spots
today.
The fire which broke out on top
of Roaring Gap yesterday morning
about one and a half miles from
Greystone inn is also burning out
this morning. A group of forty "men
were sent to this area from the
Chatham manufacturing plant in
Elkin and fought the flames all day.
