Sequel Of a Poker Game in the Old Days
on the MjssiSsjpoj.


a s::ff game Of poker was going on
one night on Mississippi river steam

Two men sat all night, but luck was
against one and toward the other from

closely by more than one in the room,
who knew him for professional gam
bier.
The other man was youngster. lie
tried to keep from showing his excite.
ment, but couldn't hide 1t altogether.
He lost over 5000 before lie came to
the end of his money. but after time
he called for a show. putting n 500
bill on the table, and saying: THAT'S

Don't go away" said the father
sternly. taking the vacant chair with a
polite question to the other players rs
to whether lie was welcome in the
game.
The game went OH. but not ir the old

and yet he began to lose. The play
grew higher when all the others had
dropped out except the gambler and
the stern old father. suddenly the
climax came.
