r, AN AKAssAs FATHER's ADVICE TO
MS SOY. Bob you are now leaving
nome TOR sranla parts. You're going
" 'lrow ~ out Of the game, and 90 i
4ione. the odds is agin you Bob but
'elnemoer that industry and perseverance,
are me winning cards they are the
'"ers " Rock lss,ff,x .ad4 a, ,dnt
sort O tnms ~ do 70 fll up with. like
small trumps bat you must have the
bowers to back en-, else they ain worth
shucks. If luck runs agin you pretty
strong don't cave in and look like sick
chicken on n rainy day, but hold your
head up, and make EN- believe you're
flush Of trumps they won't play so hard
agin you. I've lived and travelled around
some Bob, and I've found out that rs
soon as folks thought you held weak
hand, they'd all back agin you strong.
So when you're sorter weak, keep on u
bold front, but play cautions; be salts
fed with pint. Many's the hand I've
seen euchcred cause they played for too
much. Keep your eyes well skinned,
Dop uVH ic1 GIN HlB On yUu re-
collect the game lays as much with the
head as with the hands. BE temperate
never get drunk, for then no matter how
good your hand, you wont know now to
play It; both bowers and the ace won't
save you, for there's sartin to be miss
deal or something wrong. And another
thing Bob, (this was spoken in a low
tone, don't 90 too much on the women,
queens are kinder poor cards; the more
you have Of en-, the worse for you; you
might have three, aud nary a trump. /
don't say discard 'cm all if you get
hold of one that's trump, it's also bet
ter as good, and there's sartin to be one
trump out of four And above all Bob,
be honest; never take mans trick,
wot don't belong to you, nor slip cards,
nor mig, for then you can't look yonr
man in the face, and when that's the case
there's no fun in the game; it's regular
"cut throat" So now, Bob, farewell,
remember what tell you, and you'll DO
sure to win, and if you don't; sarvcs
you right if you get "skunked."
