The Penalties Attached to . Hand In Poker

Some varieties of cards have the pic
ture of bulls head upon the fifty third
card. which is known as the ''joker,"
and largely affected by progressive
euchre players when they are working
assiduously for plated watch charms
and cotton lace collars It is seldom

sections it is left in the deck upon such
occasions, and when a man holds it he
is at liberty to give it the same value
as any other card in his hand. The 9TH

During the game one Of the players
excused himself for moment ON some
apparently proper plea and left the
room. While he was absent he secured
a new deck Of cards and arranged them
SO that the person who dealt them would
receive four aces, while the man to his
left would get four kings. In his hurry
he failed to remove the bull head. Re-
turning to the room, he took his seat,
and winking to the man next to him,
whose deal it happened to be. he deftly
slipped him the "cold deck. {" The deal
er. having confidence in his friend, took
the pack and dealt out the hands. OF
course he got the four aces. The betting
was confined to him and the man to his
left, and at last, when each had his
cash and all his worldly possessions in
. the way of jewelry and wearing apparel
staked ON the result, the hands were
called.
The dealer gladly announced the pro-
