He Learned Little Popularity Of the
National Game.


National Game.
1t was in gambling place in west
ern town. The tenderfoot from Chicago
had taken to the warpath, and announced
his determination of relieving few OF
the miners of what spare change they
happened to have about them. Without
much trouble he found a victim who
was willing to try hand or two at
poker. Luck followed the stranger from
the start, and he won steadily. Finally
he drew four aces, and after the stakes
had been run up to comfortable figure
he magnanimously refused to bet further.
"This is downright robbery" he ex-
claimed, "and l don't want to end the
game here by bankrupting you. So here
goes" He threw down four aces and
reached for the money.
"Hold on!' cried his antagonist. I'm
take care of the dust if you please"
"But held four aces-seeg'
"Well. what of it? I've got looloo. Z"
"a WHAT"
"a looloo-three clubs and two dia-
monds."
The stranger was dazed. "a looloo, !"
he repeated. well, what is looloo.
anyway"
''Three clubs and two diamonds" cool
ly replied the gambler, raking in the
stakes. 81 guess you aren't accustomed
to our poker rules out here. See there.
As he spoke he jerked his thumb to-
ward a pasteboard card which ornament
ed the wall of the saloon. 1t read:

A LOOLOO
BEATS FOUR ACES.


The game proceeded, but it was plainly
evident that the unsophisticated young
tiger hunter had something on his mind.
Within five minutes he suddenly braced
up, his face was wreathed in smiles, and
he began betting once more with his
former vigor and recklessness. In fact,
he staked his last dollar on his hand.
Just at this juncture the barkeeper
hung up another card.
The stranger threw down his cards
with an exultant whoop Its my time
to howl just about nowl' he cried as he
reached for the money. There's loo
loo for you-three clubs and two dia-
monds."
Tut, tutr' exclaimed the miner.
Greatly, this is too bad. You evidently
don't understand our rules at all. You
don't mean to tell me you play poker in
such fast and loose, slipshod way down
east, do you? Why, look at that rule
over there"
He pointed directly over the head of
the barkeeper. The Chicagoan read his
doom in the handwriting on the wall 1t
was the Belshazzar case over again. The
bit of pasteboard bore this legend:
THE LOOLOO CAN BE PLAYED
BUT ONCE A NIGHT.
