reply to the assertion that Northern
people are not kindly received there,
says: ss.ska=
We receive as men and gentlemen
those who come here as such, and
conduct themselves as such, and we
welcome them. ANY statements to
the contrary are simply untrue.
They are the ISLANDERS of Radical
partisans, of disappointed adven-
turers, or of low men among our
selves who belle their neighbors for
reward.

inc amount to from - to Is per cent. or
say $4,000. This leaves 100000 TO
be distributed among the ticket holders.
But there are $4,000 tickets at $40 each
which must all be drawn from. That Is.
the ticket holders pay 81 100000 for the
privilege of drawing ,OOO-the other
$780, 900 all going to the lottery OPP
orators. Thus it will be seen that one
person i'll SO draws some prize, but only
one in 700 can by any possibility get over
$500 To pay $40 for the sixty-ninth
chance OF getting $500, or for one chance
in 700 Of getting $500, is what the simple
ones do who invest III 9 honorable lottcr-
les. Add to this the fact that nine out OF
ten lotteries and Gift enterprises are bogus,
and never give any prizes, and duped ones
can see that they stand a better chance OF
being struck by lightning than of drawing
anything but a blank out of a modern
