 "bird man. decided to form railing
 club. He got up little book contain | ing sixty coupons. Each coupon repre- sents day, and was valued at 10 cents,
 the person holding the book agreeing to pay that sum according to the follow ing contract: T the undersigned, agree 1 to pay to G. w. Mioton I cents per day for next sixty days provided that my
 number has not previously been drawn.
 After having paid sixty days, should
 my number not have been drawn G. w.
 Mioton agrees to deliver to me one male
 canary bird and cage Failure to meet payments promptly will forfeit amount paid"
 Thus the bird may cost 10 cents if the
 number is drawnthe first day, or $6 if
 the number is not drawn.
 Every day after Miotons visit to his customers he repairs to a saloon and
 there holds his drawing. He carries
 with him a set of keno or lotto balls.
 These are numbered from one to sixty.
 He shakes them out of a dirty cotton
 bag which has seen considerable ser
 vice. int ca hat and then in the pres ence of witnesses he asks somebody to draw out two numbers. The first num- Der drawn is for the raff1e club, and the second for the daily raff1e. The win ming numbers are shown all present
 Mioton opens his book, rings the num- Der of the winner and five minutes lat CT he is on his way to deliver the birds and cages to the lucky winner Several people in the city who have been Da- irons of MIoton have won numerous birds, and one saloonlkeeoer has as many as eight, and they do not repre- sent all his winnings in the last year.
