EPISODE OF MONTE CARLO
Shows the ImpossibIllty Of Winning

Money.

Here is a story which appears in
the Monte Carlo Telegram and the
truth OF which is vouched for by that
paper, which advises all would be WIS.,

says an exchange;
The Conte de B.. a confirmed gam.
bier, had once more come to the end
OF his financial resources. He wired
to his brother In Paris to send him
1000 francs, which, after paying his
hotel bill, would leave him a louis or
two for incidental expenses.
For some reason or other, however,
his brother sent him only 800 francs,
which happened to be the amount of his
hotel bill, and as he wanted to be left
with at least so francs he went into
the rooms with the intention OF win.
ming that sum and then coming away
He could scarcely be accused OF oE
pocting too much in counting to win a
couple OF sovereigns with a capital OF
$3.50, and on any other occasion the
count would have been sanguine Of
success.
But there II vast It was all i'm.
portant for him that he should not
lose. II is not, difficult. perhaps, to
guess what happened. He struggled
heroically for hours, but in vain, and
when he rose from the tables he had
lost everything.
Fortunately, however-for the count
had to be in Paris the next evening
as he left the Casino he ran across a
friend, who Obliged" him with the
money he required. 1t did not add
to his satisfaction, though, to learn
that his friend, on being informed at
the counts hotel that he had gone
to the rooms, decided not to disturb
him, and patiently waited for him al

In fact, during all the time the count
was losing his money with such unre
