Pennies, Buck-Eyes and Rabbit's Feet. “Doctor, I shall just toko a penny out of your nmnoy drawer andjou can charge it up to mo. The speaker was a prominent citi 7.CU of Athens, ami wonder struck the reporter as to why lie wanted it. # “Well, you sec," said he, in answer to a question, “I am a little supersti tious, as some call it, and I believe in carrying a penny in my pocket. “It gives me good luck,’' said the Doctor, with a smile. The reporter professed his ignorance of how the luck came, but acknowl edged that all people are more or less superstitious. “You may not think ii, but 1 bare carried one penny in my pocket mi over twenty years, and I just lost it yesterday, and 1 came at once to get another one. I have always had good luck, and carry my penny ways in my pocket. A few gentlemen were standing near by, listening to the conversation. One came up, and reaching into his vest pocket, pulled out a rabbit's foot. “That’s my luck," said lie, “and I estfry it all the time. That is the St hind foot o 1 a grave-yard rabbit, killed in Oconee cemetery, and I have great faith in it. It may be supersti tious, but 1 carry it all the same.' The reporter's hair began to stand on end. Surely he was in the witch s land and everything was enchanted. But another stepped up, and added his story: “Here is a buck-eye,” said be, “which 1 have carried for many years, and money couldn’t buy it- I have learned to rely upon its faith fulness, and I can t give it up. “Well,” said the reporter, in a half melancholy tone, “I reckon I’d betti get some luck, too;” and forthwith lie went off in a trot to look for pennies buck-eyes and rabbit s feet.
