TOPICS OF THE DAY.

An old sport stood in Wizards the
other evening chewing toothpick and
looking at the ceiling. says Towle in
the Boston Tidceller. Suddenly, and
without the slightest warning, he be-
gan: "Well, boys, poker isn't what it
used to be in this town. There are
some high.hyers, but they are few and
far between. may be getting little
old, but it strikes me that poker is rap.
idly becoming one of the lost arts. You
never hear of such games as we used
to play before the war. If man loses
few hundreds now he puts a weed on
his hat and starts little Lent all by
himself. In the old days gentleman
would think nothing of getting up from
game with dozen 'niggers' lost and
big mortgage on his plantation to
boot. I've seen some cute poker play.
ers in my time, but the cutest of the lot
was Niger Boys, I'm trihe slick
at the keerds' myself, but l ain't
marker on Old Black Dan. Dan used
to belong to gambler, and when he
was only boy he could beat his mas
ter. Finally Dan became deck hand
on one of the river steamboats,. He
took up with another darkey named
Jim, and together they were pretty
tough team to beat. One night / was
coming up the river, and as / was
walking forward, saw jim playing
with sucker He had the chips
piled in stacks in front of him. Dan
was working about the boat, but he
looked nervously at the game once and
q while. While was watching Dan
began to sing in low, quaint negro
melody;
"'Gib me some o. dat,
Glib me some o. dat,
Glib me some o. dat,
Or III break up de game;
Glib me some o. dat.
Or III broke up de game,
Fur pse old Black DAN"
"As Dan began singing jim began to
count his chips. Then he carelessly
took up the same melody and song
"'Sider yousef in,
