Show Evil of Believing In Signs. , A man who Baw tho moon over his right shoulder and was feeling pretty safo for the month began tho next day by fnlllng over tho railing of tho back parch with a pan of ashes In his hand. Therii, was Just Ico enough on tho porch to throw him against tho railing, which was Just high enough to give him tho necessary neces-sary tip and tho law of gravitation and tho ashes did tho rest. Tho neighbor neigh-bor who saw him alight said It reBom-bled reBom-bled tho firing of some old Fourth of July cannon loaded with tho old-fashioned smoky powder and charged with ashpan, grief and profanity. Tho man cussed everything from tho now moon to breakfast. That's . what you get for believing in Bigns. And yet you can not tell from tho context of tho story whether or not tho man was trying to empty his ashes on a Friday. Fri-day. That might explain something. Minneapolis Journal. |
