LUCK IN LOTTERIES.
Strange Franks Played by Dame
Fortune ON Her Wooers.
Inst,s.>es ef Poor Persons Being
Suddenly Made Rich and Mis-
fortunes Of Winning
Ticket Holders.

Fortune is never SO capriCIOus as
when she is turning a iottery-wheel;
and a whole library might be written OF
the strange pranks she has played with
those who have woOed her i'll this guise.
She was in strangely capricious mood
when it pleased her to convert a Dublin
shop assistant into a 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 drifted to Dublin to serve behind
the counter of a booksellers shop. In
the hope Of adding 10 his scanty earn
ings he bought number of lottery
tickets for sale, but found himself I'M
able to dispose Of them. At the last mo-
uent he decided to send the unSoia
tickets to Belfast, i'll the hope of find
ing better market there: but whea
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
ly. saddled a horse. and raced madly in
chase of the coach. He rode through
the night and the whole of the follow
ing day, ard overlook the coach within
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. wh~
purchased lot of tickets last year.
Rotter thought SO lightly of his pros
pect of winning anything that he gave
his ticket. in spirit of fun. to u friend.
Joseph Dost, as birthday present.
On the very day on which he parted
with the ticket, its number was an
Rounced as having won a prize of SIS
900. Rotter felt the blow of his mis-
fortune SO kecnly that he died from
heart disease. from which he had suf-
fered for some time. on the following
day.
Hicks appreciated the shrewd as we'll
as the hu,sorous sayings OF the Cornish
countryfo,i. There dwelt not far from
his abode a DAIRY oman and her hus-
band who had begun life in very small
way with one cow and Who, by industry
and thrift, had acquired quite num-
Der. How is H." said Hicks to her
one day, that you have got on SO we'll.
Mrs. p" We'll. you see. Mr..
Hicks" she replied. most people be
sllus thinking Of what they do want:
but and my old man. We be allue think
ing Of what we ca do without. torn
