Matthew Steffens Is 4 Chicago policeman
who has had a streak Of luck. Many day
wncn the mercury ran low, has Matthew
shiyered on the corner OF State aud Harrison
streets ana contemplated the happiness OF
the policcman's lot One cold night last
month an idea flashed forth upon his inner
consciousness and grew upon him as he trod
the ice along his weary beat impelling him
almost against his will TO WOO the fckle
goddess Fortune.
And SO he took two dollars OF his hard
earned wealth and bought two tickets. each
but tenth coupon, IN the lottery whose
monthly drawings are overseen by those two
ex-Confcderate warriors. Beauregard and
Early. And when on the 7th OF February
the drawing occurred II transpired that
Matthew's presentimcnt was tip from his
good angel. for one OF his tickets was tenth
OF No. 7l.575, which drew the first capital
prize OF $4,000, while the other drew a
tenth prize Of si0o. The latter wasn't
much but II showed the fellows luck.
A 1rareller reporter dropped In ut the
Harrison street station few days ago just
for the sake OF seeing how such lucky man
might look, but steiIens was gone. He had
got the $4,000, bought a saloon on State
street. and taken train 10 the Hot Springs
OF Arkansas 10 thaw out the cold that he bad
accumulated during the recent blizzard
Clerk Daniel Hogan was on hand and said he
saw the $4,000 when II came, on February
18th, all In $500 bills In Southern. Express
envelope, from the Louisiana State Lottery.
Mr.. steffens will return to Chicago In a
few days, when his many friends will have
chance TO congratulate him at his saloon, at
No. 3s5 State street He II now on leave OF
absence, but upon his return he will send IN
his resignation as police officer, and with
such comfortable little fortune as has thus
come 20 him, like gift from the gods, he
can take life easy, and never shiyer on Q
beat again. Chicago M Arkdnsdio Irav.
