A Fireman's LUCK.

II don't believe it." was the reply of
Engineer Frank Crockett, of steamer 10
OF the Fire Department of this city,
when he was aroused from his sleep tho
other night by a brother fireman who
breathlessly informed him that he had
won $l5, 900 in The Louisiana State
Lottery, in the drawing of the 18th
inst. whats more, I won't believe it
until 1 have had positive proof"
"Supposing I should advance you
500 on the strength of your chances.
Would you believe it them" asked his
comrade.
eyes, I might"
"The fireman went out and procured
the $100and handed it to Crockett, who
for the first time began to realize his
great good luck. Then, in the language
of q friend, he got up, dressed himself,
and tried to stand on his head in the
corner"
Crockett never had $500 at one time
before this lucky strike," said another
fireman to the reporter. ITO be sure he
gets $40 q month as engineer, but he
isn't much of o hand at saving. The
ticket that won the money was No. GS,-
$50, and it captured one-fifth of the first
capital prize of $75,O00."
Has Crockett received his money yeti
Eyes; but strange to say, he still
sticks to his job. We all thought it
would paralyze him when he heard the
news, but it didn't. He isn't q man
who drinks or CANDLES to any great ex-
tent. He is about thirty-fve years of
age and married. I heard that he in
tends to go back to New Jersey, where
he came from, and buy a farm and set
tie down."
Crockett was interviewed, but no
amount of questioning could make him
say anything further than that he
didn't care for notorlety, and that he
didn't want anything published about
the matter"
No. SO, $50 was the first ticket Crock
EFT ever bought in any lottery, and his
fortunate experience adds another
scrap to to the history of lucky lottery
players in this city.-San Francisco
(Cal.) Chronicle, Nov. 26.

it but a bed, two chairs anda big chest.
A few little gowns hung on the wall,
and the only picture wa the wintry
sky, sparkling with stars, framed by the
uncurtained window. But the moor,
pausing to peep, saw something pretty
and heard something pleas ant. Two

"I'm so glad we got our skirts done
in time! It seemed as if we never
should, and I don't think six cents is
half enough for a great red flannel thing
with three button holes do you?" said
WI little voice, rather YEARLY.
"No, but then we each made four, and
fifty cents is a good deal of money.
Are you sorry we didn't keep our quar-
ters for ourselves?" asked the other
voice, with an undertone of regret in it.
eyes, I am, till I think how pleased
the children will be with our tree, for
they don't expect anything, and will be
80 surprised. I wish we had more toys
to put on it, for it looks so small and
mean with only three or four things"
ut won't hold any more, sol wouldn't
worry about it. The toys are very red
and yellow, and I guess the babies
won't know how cheap they are, but
like them as much as if they cost heaps
of money"
This was a CHEEKY voice, and as it
spoke the four blue eyes turned toward
the chest under the window, and the
kind moon did her best to light up the
tiny tree standing there. A very pitt
full little tree it ~was-onlya branch of
hemlock in 81 old aower-pot, propped
up with bits of coal, and hung with a
few penny toys earned by the patient
fingers of the elder sisters, that the lit
tie one should not be disappointed.
But in spite of the magical moon
hight, the broken branch. with its scan
ty supply Of fruit, looked pathetically
poor, and one pair Of eyes filled slowly
with tears, while the other pair lost
their happy look, as if a cloud had
come over the sunshine.
care you crying, Dolly?"
"Not much, Polly"
"What makes you, dear?"
"Ididn't know how poor we we're till
I saw the tree, and then I couldn't help
it," so sobbed the elder sister, for at
twelve she already knew something of
the cares of poverty, and missed the
happiness that seemed to vanish out of
all their lives when father died.
"It's dreadful. Inever thought we'd
have to earn our tree. and only be able
to get a broken branch after all, with
two squeaking dogs, q red COW, and an
ugly bird with one feather in its tail :"
and overcome with q sudden sense of
restitution. Polly sobbed even more
despairingly than Dolly.
"Hush, dear; we must cry softly, or
mother will hear, and come up, and
then we shall have to tell. You know
we said we wouldn't seem to mind not
having any Christmas, she felt SO sorry
about it,"
ST must cry; but Ill he quiet.
So the two heads went under the pill
low for q few minutes, and not a sound
BETRAYED them as the little sisters cried
softly in one another's arms lest mother
should discover that they were no long
er careless children, hut brave young
creatures trying to bear their share OF
the burden cheerfully.
When the shower was over, the faces
came out shining like roses after rain,

Senator GarIand's Trip 10 Albany.


Senator Garland left the Senate after short
time spent in the chamber Saturday, and it now
appears, made visit to Albany to see Gov. Cleve-
land. The Senator has not yet returned, or, at
least, he did not appear at the Capitol to-day.
though he was in New York city yesterday. He
saw GOV. Cleveland Saturday, and the report is
that he was formally rendered the position OF At
torney General In the next cabinet. The Albany
special to the New York World denies this but 1t
Is the general belief among democratic Senators
that it is and most OF them now think that Sem
ator Bayard has also been invited to a seat in
the cabinet The expression OF democratic Senti-
ment throughout the country has been almost
unanimous in favor OF MI. Garland for the Office of
Attorney General. A prominent democratic sena-
tor said to STAR reporter to-day: "If Garland has
not been offered the position, hope and believe he
will be. He is able and conservative, and though a
southern man myself, do not think we ought to
saddle any man OF extreme views upon Cleveland
Garland Is the very man for the place. 1t Is con-
ceded by ali who Know Mr.. Garland that he would
not have gone to Albany uninvited and upon the
assumption that he was called there by Cleveland
the belief is that 1t could only have been TO ofier
him the place he has been so prominently talked Of
