a lucky turn of the wheel to some
hopeful perhaps needy, individual IN
the assembiage, produced an effect
which made one feel glad that luck
had fallen to the share Of the ticket
holder, confident thit there at least
the favor of fortune had Iot beeu
misplaced.
An EVEN NUMBER THAT WAS ODD.
The tag nun bered $3.50 drew con
siderable interest. The curiosity OF

The announcement Of almost every
lucky ticket was The signal for the
