Ii'- horseshoe as a bringer of good iiu k. “1 found cun: in the road some time ■go,” ho lemarked. “As a matter of fact, am tlier old gentleman found it also about the same lime. We both wanted it. ami there was a tussle for it. “I got the shoe, a black eye, a torn finger from a rusty nail in the shoe and a summons for assault and bat tery. "It wasn’t a very good start, hut 1 thought i'd give it a fair trial. Of course in nailing the shoe up above the front door 1 managed to smash my thumb and. fall from the step ladder. “Then I sat down and wailed for the Ir k to begin. That shoe seemed to he endowed with the power to at tract trouble In every form "Duns. halUtTs, the landlord, measles and poverty were rarely out of the house, and my faith was shaken. “Then one day, when the rate col lector was standing on the top step, that shop came down with a crash”— “Ah!" interrupted the sympathizer. “Luck at last!” “Not a bit of it.” sighed the unlucky one. “It missed him by a foot.”—Lon don Answers. The Way of Womankind. Women are indefatigable in their analysis of conduct. A man accepts a white ray of light for what it Is; a woman passes it through a prism and resolves it into its component rays. If 1 pass Mrs. A. in the street without saluting her she conjectures a dozen painful motives to account for my ah- sentmindedness. If she passes me 1 conclude that she Is shortsighted or ab- sentmi nded. If 1 say to my niece Molly that 2 and 2 make 4 she consents, hut Is uncon vinced. But If I show her this little formula—she Is at once all alive with interest and sits down to work It out and proclaim In triumph that it is so. From a hard and dull statement of the fact it has become a problem and an intrigue, and here she is in her element. That is the way of womankind in all relations to life.—“Comment* of Bag- shot.” This Makes It Very Plain. The meaning of the word “swastika" is “It is well,” or good luck. The mean ing of the symbol is more complex. Some folks trace it to the sun. “The emblem is the sun in motion,” argued Professor Max Muller. “A wheel with spokes waa actually re placed by w hat we now call swastika The swastika is. In fact, an abbreviat ed emblem of the solar wheel with spokes in it, tbe tire and the move ment being Indicated by the cramprus. “It Is the summary in a few lines of the whole work of creation.” said Mme. Blavatsky; “Is evolution, as one should say, from cosmotbeogony down to an- thropogeny, from tbe indivisible un known to materialistic science, whose genesis is as unknown to that science as that of the all Deity itself. The swastika is found beading the religions symbols of every old nation.” He Was Very Cool. A congressman who was on hoard a train which was wrecked says that when the shock came one of the pas sengers was pitched over several seats just in time to receive the contents of the water cooler, v hich tipped over and soaked his clothing with ice wa ter. A highly excited passenger rushed up to him and told him to keep cool. “Go away," said the wet man, “1 am the coolest man in the car. I have just had two bu ?kets of ice water emptied down my hack.” ONE GENT A WORD COLUMN ▲dTOTtUamentt n<tor this iaa Mrtod at the rate of <m« Mat a tor ee«fc tmaartlon.
