Lucky Baldwin" the crapshooting
boy wonder, is in town again, having
arrived by a recent steamer.
Lucky is a native youth with
penchant for rolling the bones and cut
quite a swath in the halcyon days of
gambling of four years ago.
He patronized a certain well-known
game, though attending school at the
time, and had a run OF phenomenal
luck. cleaning UP as much as $1,000 in
a short period.
The boy had a peculiar way Of
handling the dice and this led the
game keepers to keep a close watch on
him for crooked work. Nothing wrong
was detected, however, and he kept on
his winning.
To a friend he conf1ded that he fol-
lowed the advice of a kahuna in his
wrestle with tickle fortune. He paid
his little, old ten dollars for expert
advice and If the kahuna told him to
play, he got into the game and shook
'em hot and lively. If, on the other
hand, Mr.. Kahuna told him not to
play, he would watch the game from
the dress circle. Also the kahuna gave
instructions as to how the dice should
be picked up.
AS luck would have it the kahuna
