He Lost Again.

Driven to desperation by their heavy
losses, gamblers have often sought by
some coup either to repair their shat
tered fortunes Or to bring down utter
ruin upon themselves. One of the
most curious instances of this kind
comes from England of the eighteenth
century. A notorious gambler had
been losing steadily in a game for
high stakes with Lord Lorne. Ex-
asperated by his continued i'll fortune,
he suddenly sprang up from the card
table, seized large and costly punch
bowl, and, balancing it above his
head, called out to his opponent:
"For once I'll have a bet where
have an equal chance of winning! Odd
or even, for fifteen thousand guineas!"
"Odd." replied the peer placidly,
and the gambler hurled the mangifi-
cent bowl against the wall.
When they counted the pieces Lord
Lorne had won.-Tuesday Magazine.
