The Lucky Man.
The bank was closed, because the
cashier and paying teller had gone to
Canada for a few years' vacation.
They had taken with them more than
enough to pay their expenses. Few
people visited the receiver aud the
president The failure of the institu
tion mm an old story. The deposit
ors and stockholders had surged
about the doors at first, and crowded
and pushed for places ; but as they
would have to wait for their divideuds,
there was no longer any excitement a
round the doors,and anybody was ad
mitted.
•May I see the receiver V asked a
shrewd, happy-looking man of the
president.
'Certainly; but won't I do as well ?'
'Who are you V the visitor inquir
ed.
'I am the president.'
'Yes, I guess you'll suit me. I
want to deposit some money in this
bank.'
'Money in this bank ! Why, it has
failed 'busted* stopped payment.
The cashier has got away with-all the
money.'
•Yes,' answered the stranger ; 'I
know that well enough. That's the
reason I came here.'
'Mail alive ! you don't want to put
your cash in an insolvent bank ! We
have no idea of resuming.'
'I don't care a straw for that. I
want you to take my deposit.'
'Can't do it,'said the president,firm
ly: 'You'd loose it.'
'Loose it ? Not much. Never lost
a cent in my life.'
•What do you mean ?'
T mean just this—that I'm the
unhappiestman in existence, because
I'm so lucky. It is luck that is just
killing me, and I want it to turn. I
have heard that in my theological his
tory there was a man who could not
touch anything without it turning in
to gold. I must be a decendant of
his.'
'Well, my friend,your luck will cer
tainly turn this time. If I took your
money it would be thrown among the
assets, and you'd get in return but a
small dividend. But I won't do it.'
'Nothing of the sort,' returned the
would-be depositor : 'The bank would
be open again in a week, everybody
would be paid in full, and I should
double or treble my money in some
way or other. Oh, if you'd only let
me leave it here 1'
'No, sir.'
'lt is always the way,' returned the
visitor, dejectedly : 'Nobody will
take pity on me, and this abominable
good luck will continue to follow me
throughout life. Listen, kind sir, to
my sad story:
'When I was a young man I sent
my little brother to make a deposit in
a savings-bank. Johnny fell down on
his way and didn't pay it in. The
next day that bank 'basted' and paid
but one cent on the dollar- I bought
a lottery ticket, and won the capital
prize and received the cash. The fol
lowing week all lotteries in the State
were suppressed. I went to a club at
a watering-place, threw a five-dollar
bill on the 00. it came up ten times
running, and I left. That night all
gambling houses were raided by the
police. I found my way to Wall
street. I bought a hundred shares of
the first stock that came on hand. It
was 'cornered' in the morning, and I
cleared a little fortune. A rich wid
ow smiled on me at Saratoga. I off
ered myself, and was excepted. We
were married. Our happiness was
short-lived. In less than ten days
she fell overboard in the lake and was
drowned. Her immense fortune be
came mine.
Now my misery began. I had too
much moßey,and I knew not what to
do with it. I thiew myself in the
way of bunco-steerers, in the hope of
being swindled. They would let me
draw real prizes, and send me home
with genuine coin and greenbacks, if
I buy a piece ot swampy land full of
malaria it will rise in price over night
and bring me five thousand dollars a
foot. I once tried to loose a big roll
of large bills. I dropped it in the
gutter. It was of no use. A tramp
who had seen me do it ran after me,
and put the roll-back in my pocket. I
sped like the wind; he went faster,and
I was foiled. I offered him a thous
and dollar bill for his trouble. He de
cfintd to take more than fifty cents.
And now you refuse the trifling boon
I ask. The world is in a conspiracy
against me. Would that I were poor!'
Then the unhappy man went forth
from the 'busted' bank, looking the
picture of despair.— Puck.
Girls in Odd Stockings.
'Scarlet stockings ? Yes, they're all
the go,' said a Chestnut street hosiery
dealer yesterday. 'But that isn't the
latest craze by any means.'
'What is the latest fashion then ?' j
'Why, on Saturday morning T had
three young lady customers who came
in and bought three pair of red and
three pair of black hose. J was some
what surprised and asked the object.
Jn each case I was told that it was
not considered the proper caper to
wear two red stockings now, any
more than it is to wear two black
ones.'
'Well, what on earth were they go
ing to do ?'
'Wear one of each kind—a scarlet
stocking on one foot "and a black one
on the other. It's a fact I assure you.
And the fashion is gaining ground,for
this morning / have had several more
customers on the same errand. Blnr'<
and red, you know, are striking and at
the same time becoming contrasts.'
