Laid. Down a Straight Flush.

Over II game of 'draw" the other
night a Boston man told story which
caps the climax. He had lost a big
pot on IN invincible and the other
fellow didn't have a gun, either. 1t
occurred in this way, as he told it:
You see," said he, II was a young
fellow who got tangled up in poker
with a lot OF boys who could manipu-
late the cards and | knew it, but /
relied on my luck to pull me out even
in the end. At last my time came.
zone OF the best of the sharks was
dealing in a f~ive-handed game and 1t
vas my age As l picked up my hand
after the cards had been dealt l dis
covered that ] had the king, queen,
jack, ten and nine of diamonds
straight flush. The three men behind
me passed out in succession and | said
to myself: That's just my lucki' But
the dealer stayed and /, of course
raised him. He saw my raise and
asked me how many cards | wanted.
i told him to help himself, and, as he
discarded three cards, | argued that he
had " aces and | mentally hoped
that he'd get the other two, so | could
~paralyze him.. After he had skinned
his hand the betting began and 1t con-
tinued until my money was ali in and
there was OF necessity a call.
II asked him what he had and he
replied -Four aces the hand which i
had given him credit for and which my
hand beat. | knew | had the winning
hand but somehow or another | said /:
It's good and threw my hand to the
deck. 1t touched the 'deadwood' be-
fore / recalled my scattered senses and,
OF course was a foul.
81 turned it over and showed him
what | had but he took the pot. 1t
was the first time on recor that a
straight flush was ever beaten by four
aces without "a gun. 1t was simply be-
cause for a second | got ratified. /
have never held a straight flush since
and never expect to- The man who
doesn't know how to treat them right
WREN they come along doesn't deserve
sympathy."-New York Advertiser.

RAILROAD OCCUPANCY.

Capt. Rossell's Amendment to Senate Bill
1142 Approved by the Commissioners.
The Commissioners recently received from
the Senate committee on the District of Co
lumbia Senate bill 1142, which authorizes the
construction, extension and use of q lateral
branch of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad
into the District OF Columbia.
The object of the bill is to gain for the Balti
more and Potomac Railroad Company room for
an additional track from the foot of I4th street
southwest to the Long bridge; in return for
this the railroad is required to construct q
highway parallel to their tracks and fifty feet
from them. said highway to be fifty feet in
width and to cost not more than SOS, COO.
In reporting upon the bill Capt Rossell says
it is well to have this work done and thinks
that the arrangement would be for the mutual
advantage of the District and the railroad. He
recommends that the sum of S25. 600 be left out
and that the company be required to construct
a highway with footwalks in a manner satisfac-
tory to the commissioners or the officer in
charge of public buildings and grounds before
they be given the right to use the present pub
lie highway in use by the public.
The Commissioners discussed the matter in
board session today and approved Capt. Ros-
sells recommendation. They recommended
the passage of the bill in accordance with the
amendments suggested by Capt. Kossell.
