alone. The odds is assDs, you Bob, but remember
always that industry and perseverance, are the winning
cards; they are the bowers. Book farming and all
that sort of thpg will do 70 oil up with, like small

believe you re flush of tumps they won't play 80 hard
agin you. I've lived and travelled around some, Bob,
and I've found out that soon az folks Thought you
held out weak hand, they'd back aga yo1 strong.
So wh.n Won re sorter weak, keep bold front but
play cautious; be satisfied with pint. Manys the
hand I've seen suchred cause they played for too
much Keep your eyes well Skinned, Bob; don't let
'em mig on YOU; recollect the game lays much with
the head as with the hands BE temperate; never get
drunk for then matter how good your hand, you
won't know how to play it, both bowers and the ace
won't save you, for there's sartn 70 be misdsa or
something wrong And another thing, Bob this was
spoken in low tonel, don't go 100 much on the
women greens is kinder poor cards; the more you
have of them the for you you might have three
