THE MAN IN THE STAGE.
A Tragedy of the Olden Days In New
York City.
A good many years ago, long before
skyscrapers and rapid transit were
thought of and New York was just a
big growing town, they used to tell a
story that was ghastly enough to cur-
dle the blood of the most skeptical
and to keep people of nervous temper-
ament awake of nights.
The tale went that of a summer
night a husband and wife, returning
home from the theater, entered a Fifth
avenue stage far downtown and for
many blocks were the only occupants.
A little above Fourteenth street. how-
ever, the stage came to an abrupt
stop, the door was opened. and three
young men entered. One of the three
had evidently been drinking heavily,
for his companions were obliged to
help him to his seat. The door was
closed behind them, and the stage con-
tinued its journey northward.
About ten blocks farther on one of
the young men rose and. bidding his
friends good night, stopped the stage
and alighted. A few minutes later
the second of the three said, “Well.
good night, Dick.” pulled the strap.
stepped to the sidewalk and walked
off through one of the side straets.
There remained in the stage only the
husband and wife and the young man
who was obviously under thc influ-
ence of liquor and who sat in a
crouching attitude in a corner of the
stage under the dim flickering lamp.
After a time the husband noticed
that the young man’s head seemed to
be drooping as if in sleep. and. fearing
that he might be borne beyond his
destination, he rose, tapped him on the
shoulder and called attention to the
number of the street they had just
passed. There was no response, and
the husband repeated his words, lean-
ing over as he did so. Then be sud-
denly straightened up. turned to his
wife and said quickly, “We will get
out here.”
She began to protest, but he simply
repeated the woids, pulled the strap
and helped her to alight. As they
stood under the corner lamppost she
turned questioningly and asked him
why he fosisted on their getting out
of the bus so far below their destina-
tion.
“Because.” he replied, “that young
man's throat was cut from ear to ear.”
HORSESHOE LUCK.
An Old Myth That Goes Back to the
Greeks and Their Sea God,
Of all the emblems for good fortune
the horseshoe stands amoung the tirst
Everybody knows it is unlucky to pass
a horseshoe on the road without pick-
ing it up. It is a luck emblem of the
greatest power. We are indebted for
this statement to old tales centuries in
age that have descended from father
to son, from mother to daughter.
through the years.
The old wyths repay research. The
luck of the horseshoe has a most re-
spectable beginning. It is traced to the
religion of the old Greeks and their sea
god, Poseidon, who was identical with
the Roman sea god Neptune.
To Poseidon horses were sacred, and
to him they were sacrificed. Poseidon
wus believed to have created the first
horse when he struck the ground with
his trident and a horse sprang from
the hole, which afterward became a
spring. The sea god was the lord of
springs. To. him all springs were
ascribed. In the shape of a horse he
sometimes wandered by the shores of
his ocean domain, and where he struck
his hoofs devply there the waters gush-
ed out and permanent springs were
found. This is the reason why horse-
shoes are reckoned lucky. Going to the
root of the matter, one sees a nature
myth as the root principle. From the
sea all rain comes, and to the sea al’
springs owe primal origin. and to the
rain and the fresh waters, sea derived.
we owe all fertility on earth.
The old Greeks therefore worshiped
Poseidon as the fortune giver through
his springs. They gave him horses, his
precious beasts, and they adored the
footprints of horses when they found
them, for they might be the very foot-
priuts of the god himself.
When the borses came to be shod the
transition of the luck emblem from the
footprint itself to the shoe mark, prac-
tically the same thing, was easy.
Pegasus. the winged horse. from
whose hoofs the water springs gushed
copiously when he came to eartb. has
been credited with the origin of the
horseshoe luck.
The horseshoe was a specific against
earthquakes. It would keep a house
safe from harm by earth shaking.
Again oue perceives the sea myth—
Poseidon was the shaker of the earth.

a man to two looks at every pretty
woman. This fair and proper limit
provokes no complaiot in Kansas City,
and it is not commonly exceeded.
though we would have to go farafield
to find a locality with more women
worth looking at than are seen on the
streets of Kansas City every day.—

FELT HATS.
Evolution of the Fluffy Fur into the
It is ap interesting matter to follow
| stage by stage the evolution of » Ilittie
! pile of soft. duly rablLit fur into the
finished hat, whether a liobt colored
crush or a raven black hard bat of the
derby shape. The general idea about
such a hat is that it is cut and wade
or molded out of a sheet of felt, so
that amazement comes when one is
shown bales and heaps of rabbit fur
and is told that it is out of this that
hats are made.
much a primary material, but felting
is the process by which wool, fur or
hair is matted together and formed
into a close fabric. For bats rabbit
fur is the material used. The first
step In its treatment is the thorough
cleansing of the close clipped fur in a
machine, which winnows it of all dirt
or foreign matter and leaves it in a
soft, fluffy condition resembling the
finest and lightest down.
Anything less resembling a bat it is
impossible to imagine. But the mar-
velous ingenuity of the next process
accomplishes an almost magical
change. In the central box of a hop-
per-like machine a big copper cone re-
volves, From above the soft, fluffy
fur is fed down in a shower, which
clings like gray snow on the revolving
cone, while jets of water and steam
spray on the fur mat and plaster it
into a complete covering. In a minute
or two the cone is covered to the
depth of one-eighth of an inch with
this matter and saturated fur, which
is now become felt. The machine is
stopped, the cone is taken out, and the
workman dexterously peels off the feit
covering. Being built up on the cone,
it is also cone shaped and looks like a
gigantic sugar loaf bag. It is the em-
bryo hat,
In this first state it is a soft, wet,
felt cone, measuring 24 by 30 Inches.
Rolled up, it enters upon a series of
processes and is shrunk together so
that it measures 10% by 14 inches.
The bat, now a browny-gray felt
coue, like a clown's cap. is smoothed
by being placed against rapidly revolv-
ing sandpaper. It is stiffened by be-
ing dipped in shellac, dyed black by
fmmersion in a vat and then passes
on to be shaped. Warm water gives
the felt pliability again, and the wan
pulling out or “earsing’ the apex of
the cone draws and smooths it down
to a wooden block of the exact shape
and size the hat is required to be, As
it dries it takes its destined shape and
firmoess as regards the crown, while
the brim is still lat and untrimmed.
The body of the hat is now practi-
cally finished. Then comes the shap-
ing of the brim, which is worked down
aud bent over a wooden frame of the
exact curl and line of the ordained de-
sign. Each size and style of bat has
its own frame, as it has also its iron
mold, wood block, etc., and every al-
teration in a season's styles and shapes
calls for an entirely new set of molds.
