Tony Christensen of Levan took his
little boys out to see the sights last
night, and as luck would have it, he
ran into p Main street shooting gallery

the hound, q la Chapman-Julius, in
endless pursuit. Tony expressed his
intention of demonstrating to the pro-
prietor, whose name was James Chris
Hanson. that Christensen was as good
a name az Christianson. So Chris
this was Tony-in order to prove it,
shot twice at the rabbit, and says he
rendered in payment q 25-cent piece,
the price Of the shots being two for a
nickel. The other Chris offered no
change, and the other Chris reminded
him that he had given % instead of 3
cents. The following conversation en-
sued:

Tony Chris appeared at headquar-

righted, the dissection of the shooting

Panama. United States Of Columbia
A Spanish speaking country without a
lottery would be almost an impossible
I.y. 1t plays such an important part
in the social. political and financial life
Of the people that they would be lost

other scheme whereby a chance at a

The street beggar buys in the feverIsh

how It goes, and so on, for there is no
one who cannot buy the ticket and no
one who cannot show good reason for
the purchase, for each one, in his mind.
places to good advantage the capital
prize long before the drawing-and only
one in 10000 can win 1t each week, in
Panama, according to the Kansas City
Star.
The lottery of Panama is q highly
lucrative business to the men who are
stockholders in the company. There is
no need for dishonesty in Its conduct,
as 1t pays enough to satisfy any in
weston when conducted upon perfect
ly honest basis. AS usual. however, as
In all gambling games. the percentage
Is heavily against the player and a sure
thing for the man who rolls the wheel.
The capital stock OF the company is
100000 in silver in 1000 shares. These
shares sold at par In the organization
of the business, but as the profits are
about 40 per cent a year the shares are
now quoted on the market At about 800
in gold. instead of sos in silver, thus
making them worth about $3.50.

The drawings take place every Sum
day at / in the afternoon In the Office
Of the lottery company. This offlce Is
in the corner of the bishops palace,
who, by the way. is a heavy stakeholder
in the company and whose influence
with the government is very necessary
In securing the concession. Ten thou
sand tickets at II each are sold each
week. These tickets are divided Into
ltths II the purchaser may SO desire.
Each week practically all of the tickets
are sold, there seldom remaining more
than eight or ten in the hands OF the
dealers. According to the law govern
ing the concession the 10000 received
for the tickets is divided as follows:
sIxty-four per cent, or 5000. must be
given in prizes; per cent, or $500, goes
to the government. per cent, or $500,
goes to the ticket sellers, and the re-
naming % per cent to the company.
From this the company must pay It's
expenses. stand the loss Of unsold
tickets and derive its profits.
The concession for this lottery was
granted for twenty-five years fifteen
years ago, and has. therefore, ten years
more to run. II by chance the prize
goes to the ticket remaining in the
hands Of the company, the company
gets the prize. This has happened very
few times In the fifteen years, and
when 1t does happen the company d.
vldes the money among the hospitals in
the city Of Panama. The principal
prize is $1,000. Eighteen approximation
prizes OF SIS each are given to the nine
numbers on each side Of the number
winning the capital prize. Nine prizes
Of 500 each are given to the numbers
ending with the three figures on the
end of the winning number, ninety
prizes OF s. each are given to numbers
ending with the two last figures OF the
winning number, and 300 prizes of 81
each to the numbers ending with the
same figure as the big number.

gave the number winning the big prize.
AS there are 10000 tickets sold and
about 1000 prizes given, the general
expression was one OF disappointment.
It is a gamble. with the chances ten to
one against your winning anything, but
It is what is known in sporting parl-
ance "a square gamble"
Men, women and children sell the
tickets in the streets, in the stores,
cafes and hotels. They cannot make
very much, as their commission Is only
s per cent. but many people seem to
have this as their only business, but
living Is cheap in Panama for those
who can rest content with the products
Of the country. The spanish-speaking
people are born gamblers. The lower
classes are superstItlous, willing to
chance their all upon the turn Of a
card when they are inspired by some
happy omen or possess some lucky num-
Der. As to its morality, that Is ques-
ton for them to settle and 1t troubles
them very little. They would not be
better off without the lottery, for they
would simply seek some other way to
chance little to gain much. It Is dIai-
cult to say what there is that could
improve the conditions Of these native
Panumaians. for they are happy in
their limitations. Enlarge the latter
and the people would become miser-
able, for they must have limitations to
be hnppy-as natives in Panama.
