At the recent drawing of The Louisiana
State Lottery, $4,000 of the first prize
was won by three ST. Louisans, and 5000
Of the third capital prize of $4,000, also
came to two lucky st. Louisans.
August Kaltmeyer, who is the proprietor
of saloon at the southwest corner OF
Sixth and Franklin avenue, held u one
twentieth part OF the 5000 prize. A
Star Sayings reporter called upon Mr..
Kaltmeyer at his saloon this morning, and
found him in excellent humor. Mr.. kalt-
meyer said: 81 never played the lottery in
my life before, but just few days prior
TO the last drawing friend OF mine, whose
name l cannot mention, came TO me, and he
said: Henry, poor people are getting rich
in this lottery game l said i knew that,
and he said Let us go in a half dollar
each on ticket this month. The next
day we purchased the ticket-the number
of il was 15,353-Rhd l was never so as

that it drew s. 500. | got the money q
week ago, and gave my friend his half. |

Mrs. Amelia Partenheimer, who resides
at 9l2 Monroe street, was also a winner to
the extent of g., 500 she having held an
other twentieth ticket of the $50, 000 prize.
Mrs. Partenheimer, in conversation with q
reporter to day, said at was great sur
prise TO me TO win that much money, out
believe that you arc bound to win at 1t
some time, sooner or la.er. l have not

StAnhen Girard,

Seeing story about old Stephen
Girard the other day reminded me of
an incident that shows one OF his
peculiarities. Girard had drayman
who was decidedly poor man. One
day the drayman, who was an indus
trious, bright fellow, with good
many mouths to fill at home, was
heard TO remark that he wished he
was rich. whats that?n sharply
said Girard, who heard the grumble.
Oh said the man, Il WAS only wish
ing / was rich" well, why don't
you get rich?n said the millionaire
harshly. Il don't know low without
money" returned the draymau. you
don't need money" said Girard.
well, If you will tell me how to get
rich without money | won't let the
grass grow before trying it," returned
the other. There is going to be II
ship load OF confiscated tea sold at
auction tomorrow at the wharf; go
down there and buy it in and then
come to me-" The man laughed. Il
have no money to buy ship load of
tea WITH" he said. You don't need
any money, / tell you" snapped the
old man. go down and bid on the
whole cargo and then come TO
me-" The next day the drayman
went down to the sale. A large
crowd of retailers were present
and the auctioneer said that
those bidding would have the privilege
OF liking one case or the whole ship
load and that the bidding would be on
the pound. He then began the sale.
A retail grocer started the bidding and
the drayman raised him. On seeing
this the crowd gazed with no small
amount OF surprise When the case
was knocked down to the drayman the
auctioneer said he supposed the buyer
only desired the one case. "rll take
the whole ship load" coolly returned
the successful bidder. The auctioueer
was astonished, but on some one
whispering to him that it was Girard's
man who was the speaker his manner
changed and he said he supposed it
was all right. The news soon spread
that Girard was buying tea in large
quantities and the next day the price
rose several cents. go and sell your
tea" said Girard to the drayman the
next day. The drayman was shrewd,
and he went out and made contracts
with several brokers to take the stock
at shade below the market price.
thereby making quick sale. In
few hours he was worth $4,000. st.
