N"I had a big park opposite Johnson's

Joe's Dash at Poker.

ored gentleman IN the Aotei Poi.eh Ain0
IN this State is Joe, who oficiGtes in
that capacity in the Delavan House.
Unfortunately Joe has an idea that he
is an expert at poker. Hei is very often
anxious that some Of the distinguished
poker experts who stop at the Delavan
Should try him on those points, but
though Joe makes about 500 week at
the Delavan, he doesn't usually have
money to engage in any Of the games
of these experts, because he "bucks" the
faro banks too often.
Recently good chance was given to
Joe to show his skill. Senator Woodin
was playing simple game against Sen
ator Mccarthy, and both Of them are
acknowledged experts in the game, when
Joe happened in the room. : Senator
Mccarthy at once said, "Here's my man.
Joe, will you take my hand for q few
moments Z There are several people
down stairs who want to see me. ~ ,N'
Joe jumped at the chance.
"Why, Of course, sah," he said, elf
Mr.. Woodin is agreeable.
Mr. Woodinrwas agreeable anp Mr
Mccarthy lett, first giving instructions
to Joe to play his best and bet npto any
amount, ,depoeiting $4,000 in crisp
notes on the table in front of him. w
'tNow,a said he,o"I am responsible for
anything you may DO. Bet according
to your own views and I'll back you"
With that-he rweRt,outr
ice dealt and received couple OF
queens. Mr. Woodin Immediately bet
$1,000. Joe's short hair stood on emu
He thought that was pretty savage
sort of beginning lied Ike 70 wait
until Mr. McCarUhy would come BACK,
Mr.. Woodia said that he could not SIT
two or three hotrs over small bet
like that, and Joe must either see hfnt
or pass. Joe lest heart ahd laid down
his hand, showing two queens Mr..
Woodin inadvertently lald down his
hand as he pulled in the wager, and
showed lonesome pair Of deuces.
"For the lands sake, Mr.. Woodin," +"
said Joe, in terror, "you didn't never
bet all that money on them two little
ones p "
There's the hand. . If you can find
any thing else in it, maybe didn't"
Joe sighed. 'tg-
"Well," said he, "if you do that often
with ME, you'll be q poor man fore Mr..
Mccarthy gets back"
Mr.. Woodin bet and Joe received a
pair Of aces. He bet 80 so. Mr..
Woodin promptly raised him $1,000.
Joe heaved dreadful sigh.
Saint there no limit to tiiis game q'
he inquired, ielplessly.n A M nVTT'
"No, we never play with limit, ~ re.
marked Mr.. Woedin,rsharply.,rr .
Joe looked ut him d hong time. " ,s's
"You tried that on nae a little while
ago." said he, "and believe you're
bluffing. / zee you,- and / want three
cards." ---,-, 17 -s,,.,
He put up his money and drew his
cards. Mr.. Woodin saw his counte-
nance fall. Mr.. Woodin drew one card.

Of all the presidential candidates
from the beginning Washington alone

received sixty-nine.
