"Casting a shoe after a newly mar ried couple la oae of the oldest cus toms that still clings to the fabric of this aptodate life," Mr. John Clinton told me receatly. "Centuries ago. nay, thousands of years ago. it was oae of the means employed by the people of aatleulty to iadlcato owaersMp. "Whea a piece of land waa pur ckaaed or gtvee to oae. or a man ac quired owaershlp of a hoaae, a cow, or took aato hlauelf a wife, it was the 'established custom to cast a shoe over the land, the building, the animal or the woman, thus asserting to the world that he had acquired all rights of owaership. The custom Is mea tloaed la several places la the Bible, bat the oaly laataace I can specif cally recall to mlad just bow Is 1b Psalau Ix.. 8, where the phrase. 'Over Edom will I cast oat my shoe, is employed to meaa that by this method will owaer shlp be asserted. Few who do it probably know wky they cast a shoe after the aewly-married, but la this aacleat custom Is Its origin found. So does a relic of barbarism linger 1b our midst 'aad for her owa sake tka kride ought to aee to It that it is ao longer practiced." 8t Louis Globe Deawcrat Over the Grave ef a Poker Player. "Nearly all mea who play poker kave some superstition about the game, aad there teat a veteran of the sport that baa aot some favorite pair for which he will aways pay for the privilege of drawing to," said Mr. R. B. Sellers of New Orleans. "I had a friend la the old times whea poker raged more fercely than now. who simply gloried la u hand that coatalaed a pair of eights and aa ace. He lavariably drew two cards of these three, claiming that ia a ma jority of cases he never failed to make 'aces up, aad very often eights, which, as the wise oaes know is a fairly stroag hand. Loag before he died he expressed a desire that there should be aa lascriptloB oa his tombstone which refected Ms ruling passloa ia life, aad thus it came to pass that whea he faally waa aummoaed to that land where poker Is aakaowa a friend kad tkla legend carved oa tke slab abeve Ma grave: 'He always held up aa ace betweea two eights.'
