BUDGET OF FUN.
A French betting story.

An officer named Verdier was celebrated il
his garrison for winning I'll his bets. None
ofhis comrades could boast of ever having beer
successful, and so at last no one cared TO be
with him One day Verder was transferred
to another regiment, but the fame of his pecu
liar luck had already spread before him Al
ter supper rendered him by his comrades or
the evening of his arrival, when champagne
had made its appearance, General b called
out:
"Is 1t really true, Verdier that you wiz
every betg"
"Yes, General"
"But how the deuce do you do 2"
20, very simply. l am a physlognOmist
and bet only when am quite sure"
"YOu are physiognomist? Well, what
for instance, can you find to read now in my
facey' ...s
II can see" said Verdier, promptly, "tha,
the old wound in your side has broken out
again"
"Nonsense!' thundered out the General
"But-"
"No but, assure you, SIR
"Perhaps you do not like to speak of it
perhaps duel"
"Diable! you won't believe me? What will
you bet?"
Anything you please, General"
Give hundred francs" E..
"The gentlemen present are the witnesses"
With these words the General proceeded
without more ado to divest himself of his coat
and shirt, when close scrutiny by all present
revealed the fact that there was no trace OF a
wound by sword or call.
"You have lost your bet, Verdier" shouted
the General resumng his garments
81 have, indeed lost this once. Men may
err sometimes. Here are the five hundred
francs"
With a chuckle the General put the money
in his pocket After he had reached home,
he at once wrote to his old chum, the General
in command Of Verdler's regiment
Dear friend, the story Of Ncrdler's luck is
all humbug, He has just made a bet Of 500
francs that | had wound in my side, and of
course he lost it,"
The answer came back:
Your naivete is truly charming. Your
winning the 500 francs cost me 1000, which
Verdier bet me, on the day of his leaving, that
he would make you, on the first evening OF
meeting, take off your shirt in the presence of
your fellow officers, and that you, yourself
would inform me Of the fact"
