A Middletown (Conn.) lady bi¬
cyclist, who is known to be some
what superstitious, recently picked
up a horse shoe and attached con¬
siderable importance to the And, as
it is usually regarded as an omen of
good luck, She hung it on the
bundle bar of her wheel and con¬
tinued her ride. After a few min¬
utes she punctured a tire. After
the damage wus repaired she col¬
lided with a Meriden cyclist who
was scorching. Both riders were
thrown, uithough neither sustained
injury. The following day she
was nearly run down by an elec¬
tric car, and the next Afternoon her
confidence in horse shoe luck was
somewhat shaken when she was
thrown from her wheel in front of

A Small Potato.
A man in Tolland, Conncticut,
found a very small potato in one
of his pockets when he came in
from his work.
‘‘Here,” said he laughingly, to
a boy twelve years old who lived
with him, “plant that, and you
shall have all you can raise from
" bor * ca, the
potato , into there
as many pieces as
were “eves” in it, and planted it.
In the autumn he dug and laid by
the increase of it, and planted that
in the following spring. Next year
he planted the larger crop gathered
the previous autumn. The potatoes
grew healthilv and did well, and
hi, four, h year’, tow*
to four hundred bushels. The far
mer asked ,tk«l to ta he De released reKasca from trotn «ns
bargain, for he saw the boy’s plant¬
ing would coverall his land.
And yet it is quite common to
despise “the day of small things.”
—Selected.
“Mvnma, pa’s a brave man,
ain’t he?”
“I hope so, my son.”
“Why, I know he is! I heard
somebody say yesterday that he
run a blind tiger.”
A reporter asked permission to
interview a condemned mnrderer.
“Can’t do it,” replied the sher¬
iff; “he’s too busy.
“What’s he doing?” asked the
reporter.
“He’s in the jail yard,” replied
thesheriff, “buildin’ his gallows!”
An Alabama murderer addressed
the following note to the goverj
nor:
•T wish you would grant me a
thirty-day respite. I am short on
religion. Intended to get it last
week, but was too bpsy.”
A countryman who had lost

obituary.
“Gentle and loveable, was she?”
asked the editor.
“Well, tollable—’cepttn’ when

“She never did tell it. All I

“The Railroad Killed Him”, is
a headline in U daily exchange.
Really, something should be
done to restrain these railroads,
when they rise from the roadbed
and kill men like that. It’s bud
enough when the engines kill
them.
