Superstitions and Odd Warnings From a Historical Column
A compact list of eccentric omens warns against crossing tracks, attempting to halt heavy machinery with bare hands, and other perilous acts. The text links fortunes and misfortune to actions such as meeting a bull wearing red, sleeping by railroad lines, and exposure to arsenic affecting future life. It closes with a playful line about mood in relationships and a garbled ending.
