a Ret and It's Odds.

A notorious gambler, who died some
time ago, once wagered thousand dol
lars to one that six would not be
thrown with q pair of dice ten times
in succession. His offer was taken up
by fellow clubman. The dice were
brought, and his opponent actually
threw six nine times in succession. The
gambler then offered $40 to be free
of the bet. The other man declined,
had his tenth throw and failed to get
another six.
Just to show how very little the av-
erage man knows about the doctrine
of chances a we'll known mathematic-
ian has pointed out the real odds about
this bet. The chances were no less
than 60,466,175 to 1 against six being
thrown ten times in succession; there
fore the real bet should have been
about 100000 to 1 cent against such
thing happening.-Pittsburg Gazette.
