Behind thli generous giving U a so perstltlous belief that amid risks like these it Is well to propitiate fate all you can, for fate Is n relentless oM machine, and whim once Its wheels be ctn frrlndlmr no nower on earth caa 'stop them. The "rule of throe" is cen turies old. You may hear of It out on the ocean, In the steel mills, In the railroad camp and down In the mine. And you And It up here on the jobs In tbo skies.

The folks I was with looked at the cloth on the chairs and asked questions nbout the wood and how the chairs would wear. Thou they bought tho chairs and or dered them sent home. "What struck me as peculiar about tho transaction was that never once did either of tho two persons with whom I was think of sitting down la the chairs to Bee whether or not they wore comfortable. I dropped Into a furniture Btoro not long afterward and asked n salesman about it, and I wasn't surprised to learn that Yery few persons buying chairs ever seem to thiuk about testing them by sitting in them. "Except in the case of rockers, that is. Few persons can resist the temp tation to take n few preliminary rocks in n prospective purchase." Now York Bun. , Learned by Experience.
