Thanks Petr!
I checked both of your suggestions and nothing seems working for me.
I don't understand why the well-formatted text string got re-aligned in
the legend of plot.

This is what I got:
Quantitles   #Samples
 100            2759
  95             121
  50              0

And here is what I'm looking for:
Quantitles   #Samples
 100             2759
  95              121
  50                0
