' Friday The 13th If >t)ii urc otic of those who depend on good luck charms and the like to pull you through you had better get out your favorite rabbit a foot or something and dual it on for tho second Friday in March la the 13th. And au ta tliu second Frida> lu November. Either of these hoodoos la ^enough to acare ofT the ordinary believer in superstition und their conJunction la likely to jar their eyeteeth but when It occurs twice In the sumo year - well, anything might happen However, many refuse to be unduly alarmed. In fact some Kopubllcuns believe it la a sign that thlnga are coming their way ugain. Friday tho 13th occurred twice lu IH20 when they saved the country from the Democrats and twice in lt?24, another (J. (). I' year. When they won their big victory in 1!>28 Friday fell on the 13fh three times?but only once In l'.h'.J when the Democrats snowed them under Hut that as it may. in nearly all | lands there are people who aliv. away I from the number 13. In Turkey the dislike became so great that it was dropped from the vocabulary. Italians never use the Number 13 In lotteries. English folka omit It from their auto license plates. In many i French cities and towns 116 house bears that number and even in outown country many persons refuse to live In a house bearing that number and some hotels and office buildings have no room 13 or a 13th floor. In some localities the houses are numbered 12 1-2 or 12A. Our railroads and other transportation concerns say travel is lightest on the 13th of the month and when >he 13th falls on Friday?It Is even lighter. One of the most widely known of the 13 superstitions is thut It is unlucky to sit at a table where there are 13 persons. Tradition has It thut some one of the 13 will die within the year. Some authorities say this dates back to the time of Christ when 13 gathered at the table for the Last Supper. Judas Iscariot was the first to leave and all are familiar with his fate. However, it is known that this i superstition was *ife among the | Asiatics long before that. Others trace it back to Scandinavian mythology when the 12 major gods were seated about a table in Valhalla and the evil spirit, I,oki, arrived to make the 13th. Friday bears special significance In this connection because it was the festival of certain gods. 1 Their wrath was sure to fall on the unwary heads of all who did not givo ! up their own pursuits on that day to i indulge in tho festival. In Paris, j there are persons known as "four- I teeners" because it is their business to be available to all who wish a 14th guest at parties and dinners when only 13 appear. However, there are those persons who have no fear of the dreaded number but take It as their good luck symbol. In the national capital the auto tag numbered 13 has gone to the same person for a number of years while a great demand exists for the tags number 1,313 and 131,313. Louis XIII of France chose a title with 13 letters and always made his most important decisions and moves on the _a3th. Nansen, the explorer, started on an Arctic expedition on the 13th with 13 men and returned home on the 13th, later attending a dinner party ou Friday the 13th as the 13th guest. Richard Wagner, the composer. was born on tjie 13th in 1813. Ancients observed a 13-month calendar and the old custom of giving a bride 13 pieces of gold still exists in Latin countries that have any gold. Of course there are those who welcome Friday the 13th for the opportunity to Jeer and defy the double jinx and prove to their more Jittery cousins that it is all a lot of hokum. Quite recently the younger society set of Washington held a ball on Friday the 13th ,.&t which the orchestra consisted of 13 musicians, mirrors were broken and all sorts of superstitions were defied. In America the number 13 should be regarded very highly. There were 13 original states and our first flag had 13 stripes and 13 stars. Our first navy numbered 13 ships and" Admiral Perry won his i>ake Krie victory on the 13th. The Strt-s and Stripes was raised over Fort Sumter on the 13th; the first message over an Atlantic cable was received on the 13th, and our national motto has 13 letters. Close examination will reveal that tho eagle on American Quarters has 13 feathers in its tail and 13 long ones in each wing, clutches 13 arrows with one claw and a branch with 13 leaves in the other and carries a ribbon in its mouth with 13 letters on it. To add to the horrible features of this coin there are 13 stars on the shield over the eagle's head and 13 more on the other side. Nevertheless, we never knew anyone to refuse a quarter nor to accept 13 cents or $13 In change or turn down a salary of $1,313 ?even though offered on Friday the 13th.?The Pathfinder.
