A POET appeared in the Office Of a

presented this effusion: "Corn in the

singularly good. The poem was ac-

of money and lots of negroes. She got
religion the worst way, and all of sud-

When the girl left the world, as then
call it, Jack was crazy. He was de-
voted to her, IN spite of his runnin'
around. and he just eut loose and raised
q fog. He played the limit, and it
wasn't long before the brace players
had lavouts fixed for him in every town
he struck. His money went, and his
negroes, too. and the time came when
ne didn't have the price of a shoestring.
He drifted up to Memphis one night
broke and desperate. He went into a
farrer bank and watched the game for
awhile, but he didn't get nod, where
not long before the negroes used to
break their necks to shove a chair up
right in front of the layout for him.

streak on him that night, and was play

sat down near him and seemed to fius-

teen chips on double seven and got
split. He was madder'n a hornet. but
he laughed just the same, and said to
Jack, as he handed over the split check
to him:
- reckon You wanted stake. and
made me bet odd chips. See what you

nor ace had showed, but the $500 in
blue chips were stiu untouched The
dealer Thought he had cinch, and
never spoke about the $500 limit. The
queen won on the turn.
Draw down to 200 said the
dealer, and Jack took 40 away.
Well, the last king and all the queens
and aces won, and Jack had 200 on
every one. He kept on playing. and
turned the box down, and carried off
the $1,000 bank roll with him along
about daybreal1. He got the blue split
he had started on and had hole bored
in it, and put il on the chain of the
