Good Dreamer.
business man of Sacramento had a
dream one night few weeks ago, to the
effect that ticket 3, 252 in the Louisiana lot
terry would draw big prize. The figures
were so firmly impressed upon his mind
that when he awohe he got up and made a
memorandum of them. Next day he re-
quested a friend, who was going down to
the Bay, to see if he could find the ticket
of that number at any of the establish
ments dealing in lottery tickets there
Some time afterwards, strolling past a store
i'll this city, he saw the very ticket exposed
for sale in a show-case-that is. one-fifth
ticket He quickly purchased it for 81 %.
Subsequently he explained to the dealer
how it happened that he made the pur-
chase, and the dealer was 50 i'm
pressed by the coincidence of his
dreaming of the number and then
finding it SO unexpectedly, that he gave
the purchaser 50 for a quarter interest.
SkepGcs may sheer at believers in dreams,
but i'll this case, when the drawing of the
lottery took place ticket No. 1852 drew-a
blank But that is not the end of it. The
dreamer has been at it again since then, and
in his dream ticket No. SS,064 there may
be an error as to these figures, but this is a
" true story, nevertheless) was shown as
winner. lie went to the store where he
found the other ticket, just to tell Of his
dream, and 10, there was ticket No. SS,064
offered for sale, He purchased it, but the
store keeper hasn't taken any stock in the
scheme. But it is certainly little singu-
lar that a man should dream twice of
tickets the whereabouts of which he had
no means Of knowing, and then happen
upon them Immediately afterward. Quite
number OF Sacramentans appear to be
taking little nibbles at the lottery bait. A
party of Young men recently invested 81 %
each, buying in partnership, and won a
prize of $, which was sufficient to return
TO them about half the money they in
vested. \ pool of thirteen has been formed,
which Is attempting TO force fortune to re-
cogniZe them by - coppering the bet as it
were. In the first place the number - is
unlucby; then the money for their tickets
started for Louisiana on a Friday, it will
probably reach there on Friday, and the
tickets be received here on q Friday, and
that combination of unlucky days and
numbers is believed to be likely to win.
