this process Is going on, the land falls
back before the advancing sea, and
considerable results are evident In n

Fort Leayenworth Coterie Draws ~ 900
LA the Louisiana state Lottery.

Fort Leayenworth Coterie Draws - 900
la the Louisiana state Lottery.
Twelve members OF Company X. 18th
infantry. at the Fort, are ia very
pleasant frame OF mind just now. They
have just received through the Pncillc
Express company. $1,000, their portion
OF the second capital prize of 800, 900
IN the last drawing OF the Louisiana
State Lottery.
The money was paid 10 Sergeant
Thomas Marriott and by him divided
between the twelve who had pooled
their issues. = Each put ia 80 cents, and
as luck would have il one OF the six
tickets purchased with the 80 drew one
twentieth OF the $1,000 prize.
The following are the lucky men,
each OF whom gets about $416: Ser
geant Marriott, Corporals Black and
ken, and Priva;es LOTUS, Neidowiun,
Heart, Elliott, Reno, Wilhelm, Pulley,
Kelly and Nutzen.
Sergeant Marriott stated that he had
tried the lottery quite often and bad
frequently won small sums. OF course
this Is the biggest haul he has yet made.
Most OF the lucky winners have depos-
tied their money with the paymaster,
where il is safe from any temptation.
The sergeant is loud in his praise OF
the Louisiana State Lottery, as he may
well be; S4l6 is not n princely sum. but
IL is quite respectable sum. Fortune
smiles upon the humble quite AS often
as upon the high in life, fortune OF
course being represented in this case by
the Louisiana State Lottery Company,
whose prizes are Ear oftener drawn by
those who occupy an indiiferently ex-
allied station in life than by the 400. On
this account its smiles are the more
welcome and those who are fortunate
enough to draw prizes are benefited TO
a greater extent. Many person has
been started in life through receiving
just such windfall as that recounted
ia the foregoing. -Leavenworth kan

I'd rather picnic On the porch
And croquet In the yard.
With Susie Ann or Liza Jane.
To be my play pard.
Than 20 to any fishing place
On independence day.
To aght big flies and nasty gnats,
And swear my soul away.
I'd rather kill nay gnawing greed
Before Il home-spread feast.
Than take a chance OF broken bones
Behind livery beast;
To ride ten miles through heat and dust
And very nearly die.
Just for the sticky priv ileae
OF sitting In a pie.
I'd rather spend the day al home
With little ones and wife.
And take modicum ~ rest,
And lead a decent life.
Than 90 camping anywhere.
And soak myself in rain
Then limp to town that blasted night
Backed with rheumatic pain.
