FREAKS OF FORTUNE.
"I wonder how I should feel If I won
916,000 In the lottery V Is a remark one
frequently hears.
David Stern, pawnbroker, 614 Clay
Btreet, is one man at least who has cxperi
enced the Bensation of winning a fortune
for a dollar. On Thursday he drew $13.

ing of the LouAiana State Lo' cr. having
been immediately honored. A Chronicle
reporter, who heard of Mr. Stern s luck,
sought the fortunate pawnbroker at his
place of business, and found him in the act
oi emptying a huge sacfc of shining twenty
dollar pieces on a table in the rear of his
establishment Mr. Stern was, to say the
least, somewhat excited. His usually
swarthy countenance was white, and his
uarh. eyes oiazea with strong emotion.
"Yes, I have won'aid he, in a voice
that was quite husky for the moment.
There is Ithe money. 1 have just come
from the bmk with iu"
He added that he had not counted it, but
uio luiormatton was scarcely necessary,
for he wm in no frame of mind to count
anything. The $15,100 made a great heap
ui K"siemn goiu, mat c niKeii ana gut
tered cheerfully as the Stern family ran
their finger through it. They seemed, as
yet, to have scarcely reali ed their good
fortune. They looke i at the gold, and felt
it, as u they expected to see It vanish like
the fabric of a dream. Hut there was
nothing intangible about the heap of yel
low twenty-dollar pieces. Some of the
money slipped from the table a d rol ed
merrily along the lloor, jingling as if de
lighted to have been freed lrom the re
straint of the bank vaults. The toddling
youngster on the lloor filled his little hands
with the valuable playthings, and seemed
as much pleased with their touch as his
older relative's, whose eyes were fixed on
the table. Mrs Stern was spee .-bless, and
could only clasp her hands and nuile at
her lucky spouse. The latter, was still too
excited to think or act wit4i habitual cool
ness. He walked from the gold-laden
table to the front door and bacK a dozen
times in a minute without apparent pur
nose. Customers eume in and looked
around, but he reined to see nothing but
the glittering fortune that had come bo
suddenly. The news had spread outaide,
and relative and friends d opped in till
the gathering became so much a family
one that the r- porter concluded to with
draw for a while. In an hour he returned.
Mr. Stern had cooled down slightly and
could talk coherently. He had put the
money in the bank after paying a few
friends who were interested witli him in
a p ol.
'The year has becun well for me, thank
God," said he. "On Sunday last my boy,
being 13 years old. was confirmed in . ur
religion. On Monday we had a banquet,
and he got many valuable presents, in
eluding tmnk. books showing money de
posited for him by friends. On Tuesday,
coming home from school he stopped at
the Chronicle bulletin-board and copied
oil" the list of winning numbers in the
Louisiana State Lottery, and r ished down
to say, Vapa, you've won the lfi,000.' I
couldn't ere it it at first, but as soon as I
looked over my list of numbers I saw the
boy was right. Then 1 was atraid the
ticket might not be genuine, but 1 soon
learned that it was, and I had it cashed
tliis morning."
Another inundation of fri nds and rela
tives Hooded the biore, and the reporter
withdrew.

Hardy place, between l'ost ami Sutter

The frequenters of the bar, northeast
corner of Ulay and Kearney streetB are in
a ferment by reason of the fact that some
old-tinier has drawn another tenth of the
capital prize and refuses to disclose his
identity. lionltace,t(obinson, the presid

requested by an indignation meeting of
his patrons to reveal the becret, but has
retused. The place is lrequented by lynx

the lucky prize-winner.

getting the coupon the gallant Colonel ran
lull tilt on Kearney street against a cross
eyed woman. On the next block lie met a
funeral, and as the superstitious code of
ill omens marks these as sure signs of bad
luck, the Colonel concluded that his ticket
was mere useless paper. Down the street
lie met his friend It. S. McCann, also of
Kansas, and alluded laughingly to the ill
omens.
"I'll put up lmlf a dollar against it and
shake you for it," said Mr. McCann.
McCann won the bliake ami pocketed
tin ticket, and a few davs after the Colonel
read on the Chronicle bulletin-board that
the despised coupon nad won the second
prize, and McCann, who has gone to Hum

ticket, there was a wild scene. He was
nearly beside himself till the cook in
emptying out the collee-kettle found the
ticket, but It was in such a condition that
a microscope could scarcely decipher the
number. It has been given to a compe
