The Game He Didn't Under

Stan0.
From the New Orleans Picayune.I
The best poker hand we ever heard
of was held by old Weasel the other
night. Weasel didn't know much
about poker, but he wanted to learn
and every now and then (the party
was PLAYING euchre) he would snow
his hand and ask if that WASH { a
onod hand. Once or twice he bet,
but somebody always beat him, be-
canse he knew so little about the
game. After awhile, as Weasel was
dealing, and when he had thrown
three cards around to each one, he
stopped and looked at his three. He
looked good while. Then he got
excited.
aNow know this is a good hand.
Eve learned something about poker
in the last two hours, and I'll bet $25
on these three cards. It's just the
best hand / eyer saw"
Jones had beaten Weasel on this
sort of banter already, and SO he
took up his cards. He had three
aces-a pretty good hand for three
cards. Nobody could have full OF
fours, and his three were the biggest
in the deck. He bent pitying smile
on old Weasel and said: 81 think
I've got something pretty good here,
but l couldn't bet less than $50 on it
We're not playing poker, you know
and these outside issues are irregular
1 bet $50"
'Done," said old Weasel; "what
have you gotP'
They put up their money, and
then Jones showed his hand.
'Here's three aces, you old mutton
head! You can't beat that with any
three cards on earth. You ought to
know better than to" 'Hold on, .
cried old Weasel, throwing down the
king, ten and seven of hearts
'ethat's good flush, amt it?" When
you've got all of suit that's flush
1 believe; and a flush always beats
threes. l don't know much about
poker, but it seems to me I've got the
best hand out of Jail"
Jones had forgotten about fushes
In fact, the whole party rather un-
derrated old Weasel because he was q
religious man, and not supposed te
know much about cards. But they
kept very watchful eye on him af
ter that, and when he spoke of poker
hands they all insisted on sticking tc
the game they were playing.
