Lightning never strikes twice III the
same spot, says an old saw, but there is
a giant cottonwood in Hyde Park that
proves that there are exceptions to all
rules.
This tree stands on the south side
OF Fifty-third street between Cornell
avenue and the Illinois Central tracks.
1t is more than IL years old and is one
of the tree monarchs of the neigh Dor
hood. The late Judge John y. Jameson
built his home at the southwest cor
ner of Fifty-third street and Cornell
avenue in 1857. There was little or moth
that the suburban service CT the Hi
nois Central was only one Year old.
and there were only three trains day
each way. On the Fifty-third street
side he planted a row of cottonwoods.
Cottonwoods grow rapidly and take
kindly TO the sandy soil along the lake
shore. The row grew into great trees.
which in time came to be landmarks.
Ten years ago the largest Of these
great cottonwoods was struck by light
ming. The bolt seemed to be in the
Ru6pC Oh III cuOIulOuS Anllc, 1OE IL SllCcu
off large strip Of the trunk for 70
| feet or more. Such stroke would have
killed . less vigorous tree. Rut the
big cottonwood tree stood the blow
bravely, recovered and went on grow
ing. In time there was nothing but a
long brown scar to prove the visitation
! of the deadly blast from the skies.
A few days ago the lightning came
again. Before the bolt struck the leaves
of the cottonwood were green and
glossy. Within an hour every leaf was
shriveled. Some Of the leaves dried up
and became brown. Every sign OF vital
ity had departed from the tree. The
giant, cottonwood was dead.
Curidusly, enough. this time the bolt
left no mark. Ten years ago the light
ming left a great wound in the trunk
yet the tree lived. This time there is NJ
sign of the smallest puncture; yet tn
tree was instantly killed.-Chicago In

LUCK IN LOTTERIES.
Strange Franks Played by Dame
Fortune on Her W0oers.
Insta.oes of Poor Persons BEING
Suddenly Made Rich and Mis-
fortunes of Winning
Ticket Holders.

Fortune is never SO cap.icious as
when she is turning a lOtGery-wheel
and whole library might be written Of
the strange pranks she has played with
those vino nave wooed her in this guise.
She was in a strangely capricious mood
VIXEN it pleased her TO convert Dublin
shop assistant into man Of fortune
and the founder of a noble family.
Luke White, the father of the first
Lord Annaly, was a poor ManNman, who
had Gcifted to Dublin to serve behind
the counter OF a booksellers shop. In
the hope of adding &c his scanty earn
ingS he bought a number OF lottery
tickets for sale, but found himself I'M
able to dispose of them. At the last mo-
ment he decided TO send the unsold
tickets to Belfast, in the hope of find
ing a better market there; but when
the coach had been day on its journey
he received letter informing him
that the despised tickets had won val
liable prizes.
Although the news came in the dead
of night, Luke White got up Immediate
". saddled a horse, and raced madly in
chase of the coach. He rode through
the night and the whole of the follow
ing day, and overlook the coach within
| a few miles of Belfast. He rescued the
bundle of tickets, and. returning home,
exchanged them for prizes of the value
of 100000.
Fortune was less kind to Charles
Rotter, a tobacconist of Chicago, who
| purchase a lot Of tickets last wear
Rotter thought SO lightly of his pros
! pect of winning anything that he gave
| his ticket, in spirit of fun, TO friend.
Joseph Dost, as a birthday present.
On the very day on which he parted
with the ticket, its number was an
nounced as having won prize of S15.-
900. Rotter felt the blow Of his mis-
fortune SO keenly that he died from
heart disease. from which he had suf-
fered for some time, on the following
day.
