GAMBLED BUT ONCE.
Prica Paid Fop a Parasol by the
Founder of Monte Carlo.
M. Blanc, the founder of the ca
sino at Monte Carlo, was very ec
centric.
He was never known to play at
the table except on one occasion,
and then it. was a somewhat costly
experience.
While on a visit to the Wiesbaden
casino with Mine. Blanc he was in
the habit of accompanying her on a
morning stroll each day. During one
of these walks madame onmplained
of the heat of the sun ana requested
her husband to buy her a parasol.
Accordingly the two entered a shop,
where madame selected a very pret
ty article, worth 80 francs, which
M. Blanc, with a scowl and a mut
tered grumble, paid.
When the casino opened at noon
■gidat was the astonishment of the
croupiers and visitors to see M.
Blanc place 2 louis on the red at
one of the trente et quarante ta
bles. The attendants hastened to
get him a chair, but this he de
clined, saying he was only going to
remain a few minutes. When the
cards were dealt he won, and, tak
ing up his winnings, left the orig
inal stake on the table. For a sec
ond time he won and had now got
back the price of the umbrella. But,
not content, he ventured another 2
louis, which this time he lost.
Somewhat annoyed at this, the
founder of the place doubled the
stake and won, thus getting back
the cost of the umbrella again.
Determined, however, to regain
.his 2 louis, he staked it again, only
to see it raked in by the bank. Thus
he kept on winning and losing, but
never able to recover the 2 louis,
till at last he found himself 25 louis
out, all the gold his pooketbook con
tained. A thousand franc note he
had was quickly changed and swal
lowed up. Then, becoming exas
