WENT UNDER A LADDER And Superstition Guly Became
Deeply Hooted In Him.
A local newspaper man forgot his usual caution the other day and walk ed under a ladder. He couldn't very well avoid walking under the ladder, because it slanted directly across the way. Ordinarily, be goes around lad- ders or climbs over them or waits for the ladder man to come back and take the ladder down.
This time he walked under it.
Nothing happened out of the common for aun lLour or two.
Then somebody stole his umbrella and he had to walk to the car in the rain,
When he stepped off the car, he didn’t notice that there was a second step, and got a decidedly unpleasant stunible and jar.
He hadn’t been home but a. few min- utes before he broke a bandsome table ornament that his wife valued highly.
Then he began to think of the ladder incident.
Later in the evening he was persuad- ed to drink a glass of cider that was just in the act of “working.” It was nice.
[le went to bed at 10 o'clock, princi- pally to avoid getting into more mis- chief, and was awakened by a most excruciating pain in his midst. It was that nice cider, which had evidently kept right on working. It was an aw- ful pain, and it didn’t let up for a full half hour.
Then the victim fell into a troubled sleep, from which he was suddenly awakened by a mysterious sound com-

He slipped out of bed and swiftly pattered down the stairs. His heavy canbe was in the corner of the hall. He seized it, noiselessly turned the lock and flung the door open.
Darkness there and nothing more!

Once there was an elephant that tired of life ‘n the jungle, so he decid- ed to join a circus at the first opportu- nity. Shortly after making up his mind ou this point he was strolling through the forest, cursing the flies high and low. when he came upon the agent of a great American circus who was en- gaving African talent for the following senson.

Convincing a Connoissenr,
Some years ago the late Dr. Colo- nette undertook to make a bottle of port that should not cost more than threepence which the best judges should be unable to distinguish from the highest priced wine that could be obtained in the island. The preparation was compounded openly before a large assemblage, and three competent judges were selected to test the prod- uct. The basis of this compound was cider, colored with an infusion of log- wood. To this he added a few grains
_
ef tartaric acid and salt of tartar fo give respectively a rough taste and a mellowed appearance. When three glasses of this compound and three glasses of recognized port were pre- sented to the judges to taste and pass their verdict, without being told which was which, they unanimously pre- nounced in favor of the doctor’s cheap preparation and rejected the genuine port. What they would have said the next morning if they had consumed a bottle of this preparation remains a matter of conjecture.—London Chroni- cle.
