And even after the habit is accomplished it is ex pensive, particularly in this country, so far from ths tropics where tha pears are grown. Captain P. J. Werllch, lighthouse In spector for Uncle Sam and who makes his home at the- Hotel Portland, has the alligator pear habit. He must have one every morning and says he would be willing to pay as high as $1, If nec essary, for each one. But alligator pears In Portland are cheap. Of course they are scarce, kept only by one or two fruit stands In Ihe city and shipped here at great expense ana witn consiaeraDie aimcuuy. Not withstanding all this, they are cheap iney may be bought ror 60 cents each. Alligator pears are mostly seed. The kernel la ao large in fact that there Is hardly anything else on the outalde skin, which covers a few bites of de licious mealy meat. That is, delicious, after one acquires the habit And they are only 60 cents apiece. Alligator pears are not served regu larly at the hotel so Captain Werllch, having acquired the habit, buys them by the box. Every morning he takes one to tha dining room with him.

PEOPLE WALK IN STREET RATHER THAN BREAK LUCK UNDER LADDER The superstition that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder caused considerable inconvenience to pedestrians in Morri son street his mornins. The ladder was leaning against the front of a store building, extending from the curb stone. Not one person in 100 walked under the ladder they all preferred to step out Into the street to keep from breaking the good luck which they believed to be theirs. One after the other neople came hour after hour. Seeing the ladder each one hesitated, s topped and decided to take his .chances with the street cars, auto mobiles, wagons and other vehicles. rather than step under the ladder. There was no chance that the ladder mtgtt fall it was braced securely but the superstition of the- people aim ply got the better of their Judgment. Few people went Into the store In front of which the ladder stood. Due, no doubt, to the fact that the ladder was there. After awhile the proprietor noticed that something waa radically wrong witn nis Dusinens. x,et the re pairs go," he said -to the workmen, "come Dack some, time when there are not so many people In the streets." Then the ladder was taken down and the moving throng resumed its normal self. at the court room of department No. of tha circuit court. Saturday. Jan uary 18, at 8 o'clock p. m.
