NOT SUPERSTITIOUS
BUT NOW CAUTIOUS Common superstition tha.t It is unlucky to walk under a ladder is now respected by Mr. A. Lee. of Station Street, Kogaraha, Australia. A ladder was responsible for a deep laceration on his lower lip, a puncture of his upper lip, and the loss of a tooth. At work outside a building in Clarence Street, Sydney, recently, Lee had occasion to stand under a tall ladder. He tempted Providence in this manner for some time, until the outraged ladder by some means contrived to fall. Lee’s head went between the rungs of the ladder, but he was struck on the mouth. His tooth was knocked through his upper lip.
