In San Francisco the other day the
old game of four kings and four aces
was played upon a boy from the country
by a professional. The boy was dealt
wonderful hands several times and was
winning right along. Finally he found
himself in possession Of four kings and
staked his entire pile. When the pro-
fessional showed up four aces, the boy
said he was a robber and struck him
we the head with the first weapon he
could get hold Of. The police took the
same view of the case and held the man
for robbery. If the law lntervenes in
this way, the time will come when four
kings will be better than four aces after
