LUCK AT MONTE CARLO.
A Fly Which Cost the Gambling Room
a Small Fortune.


About Jan. 25. 1904, a curious thing
happened mt Monte Carlo. The super
stition of gamblers is well recognized
but it is seldom that their reliance upon
omens brings them such luck as was
the case on the above date. at what
is known as the suicide" table in the
Monte Carlo gambling rooms the fol-
lowing remarkable incident occurred:
A hy alighted on No. 10 on the rou-
lette table at the time when the play
ers had suffered a persistent run Of
hard luck. The superstitious gamblers
exchanged covert glances and searched
their pockets for money with which to
stake In a few moments the middle
dozen"-that is to say, the Nos. IL to
24-were literally covered with stakes.
Then an elderly gambler arose and
piled napoleons round the square on
which the fly had alighted. thus back
Ing the numbers from 10 to II. Less con-
fident players staked smaller amounts
on the 'transverSales.
The ivory marble was sent spinning
round the roulette wheel. There was
a moment of suspense and then the
croupier announced the winning num-
ber-13. But what is far more extraor-
binary the same number came up three
times in succession.
That fly cost the casino over $4,000.

SHOCKED THE GUARD.
A Canadian Railway Official Who Did
Not Appreciate Kits.

Not Appreciate kits.
Many years ago well known Scotch
nobleman went out to one of our small
er dependencies to take up an official
position under the governor.
He was a colonel of volunteers at
home, and consequently he took out
his gorgeous kilt uniform with him to
wear on those occasions on which eti-
Quette demanded such an attire.
The necessity for donuing his kilt
arose soon after he arrived In the COL
ony, and attired In all his glory he
took the train from the country sta
ton near to which he CHANGED to be
residing at the time to the town where
his distinguished presence was re-
quired.
At one of the stopping places along
the route the guard. to whom kits
were an absolutely unknown article OF
attire and who apparently. when ne
looked in at the carriage window and
saw the gallant colonel seated there
in. imagined that that gentleman had
dispensed with his neither garments on
account of the heat, said, I'VE are get
ting near town, sir"
At the next station he came again.
and. seeing the colonel in exactly the
same costume. he exclaimed excitedly:
Excuse me. sir. but must insist on
your dressing yourself at once. We
shall arrive at the town station in FIVE
minutes -London Tit-Bits.

Paris. Jan. 21.-The anxiety caused by
Germany's refusing TO enter into friend

Of the Dutch government is TO greatly
