old papers of the famous sisters:
NJ matter how strictly according to Hoyle
You may shuflle your cards or your own NOR
tai coil
How you play ont your best cards or what
you conceal,
There is one who can beat you and give you
the dell.
In the sharp game of life you may win the
first trick;
But after you've cut your last cards and your
trick,
Then, deuce take it all, even though you die

Whether kings, queensor knaves, he will take
you the same.
You will lind life at last pretty grave Joke,
For you can't let 1t pass and you cannot re-
v1ke;
Gabriel takes you at last, you may like it or
lump.
For he'll order you up. and he holds the last
trump.-St. LOuis Globe Denocrdt.
