In Luck.

The great aim in life of German army officers, if they are poor, as nine out of ten of them are, is to marry a rich wife, which state of things will explain the following conversation between two of them: “I hear you have won 50,000 thalers in the lottery. Is it a fact ?” “Yes.” “You don’t say so. You are a lucky dog. Now you will not have to marry a rich wife. Well, did anybody ever see such luck.”— Texas Siftings.
