"What'a the Qnecn Got To Do
With lt?'
From the Nashville American.
Four gentlemen were travelling from
the Far West to New York City, for the
purpose Of buying goods. Que Of them
was German. As the journey was long
and tedious, they concluded to while
away the hour at a game Of euchre.
Fritz, the German, had bten in Me habit
Of playing draw poker, 80 every time be
was dealt good poker hand he would
remark, "VelI, plays poker init you on
dis hand"
The other parties would say, "oh, never
mind poker; go on with the game we are
playing"
Pretty soon Fritz would get another
poker hand, and out 1t would come, ~
plays poker init you on dis hand"
"oh, never mind poker; go on with the
game"
He talked so much about poker that
the party thought finally that they would
give him enough Of 1t. One Of them left
the table, got another deck Of cards simi.
lar to the ones they were playing with,
and "put them up" for The occasion,
Fritz soon left the table moment for a
glass Of water, and while absent the new
pack was substituted, and was being dealt
as he returned. The dealer turned up a
queen. On looking at his hand Fritz
found he had four kings. He immediate.
~ said, 81 plays poker NIT you on dis
hand"
One Of the party who had dealt himself
tour aces, looked at his hand some time,
then he looked at the queen which had
been turned up, then at his hand and
again at the queen. Finally he remarked
"Well, now Fritz, since you seem 70
anxious to play poker, I'll tell you what
I'll do. II you will let me take that
queen up. l VN give you little hand at
poker"
"All right" says Fritz; "all right; you
takes up de queen"
The queen was taken up and the
betting commenced. Fritz bet off fifty
dollars. John N. raised him fifty. Fritz
raised that hundred. John went five
hundred better, and SO the betting went
on until poor Fritz had put up all the
money he had brought to buy goods with.
When the money was exhausted and it
came to 4 call, John showed down his
four aces and his queen and took the
money. Fritz didn't say word, but
went on with the game Of euchre for
about half an hour. Finally he looked
up with perplexed countenance and re.
marked interrogatively, "John, betinks
all dis while what dat queen have NIT to
do with dat handn
