Horseshoe Luck.
"Hardacre stuck a horseshoe over his barndoor for luck. Lightning struck the horseshoe and set fire to the barn. Burned up the stable' two wheat fans, lot of farming implements, and the. whole year's crop." "Reckon that shook Hardacre's belief in horseshoes." ''Not by a jugful ! Says he's going to have a horseshoe put over both doors, and all the windows, when he builds another barn." "(iosh ! Hope he don't believe there's luck in 'em yet?" "He ought to. If I could get 10.000 dollars insurance money on an old barn and corn crop, I'd believe in 'em, too."
