President Cleveland is supposed 10 be

presidency; but the Eamo abilities which
made them presidents would, II they had
been used in the field OF money making and

ing at all. The player on the left Of the
dealer and the next man to him said they
would take two cards apiece, and the play
er on the right said he would take book
Just TO keep them company. The dealer
then dealt himself two, and the betting be-
gan.
"I'll bet l0c," the first man remarked,
mconccrncdly. The other three each raised
it l0c and the first better made it NIL good
and went them l0c more. When IL came
around TO the dealer the second time he
raised them all quarter, and they stayed
in like little men and came back at him.
For two or three times around quarter
was the highest raise. Then the man who
had drawn the book, much to the surprise
OF the trio, went them all half dollar bet
ter, aud they stood his raise like heroes,
and for several times around the hall dol
lars were put up with clock like regularity,
not one OF the four showing the least incli-
nation to call the others.
Finally the dealer said he would observe
the limit rule, and make the raise an even
dollar, just to keep up the interest, and
the other three responded with alacrity.
Again the dealer raised them q dollar
more, but that did not drive any of them
out or force any one TO call, and make II
good and raise you dollar" was the order
for number of times around, and the
game was getting to be unusually interest
