hand?" The parson looked grieved
beyond measure at the levity of his
questioner. He averred in shocked
tones that he would not know the de-
nomination of one card from another,
and at any rate it would i'll become a
preacher of righteousness to engage
in such worldly and sinful games
THAT is all right about the worldly
and sinful game, parSOn," said the
gambler, "but we have a habit here
of maxim Teller come into game
when we say SO, whether he likes it
or not. Here is stack of chips, par
son, for you to start in with. jim,
deal the parson hand"
The parson groaned and protested
with tears in his eyes but it was no
go. The boys said he must play.
The BOYS instructed the parsons in
the mysteries of diScarding and the
value of various hands, the supposed
man of God all the while protesting
his utter ignorance of the game and
wailing, ''what would my poor old
mother think if she could look down
from heaven and see me at the gam
ing tablet"
The gang chaffed him. 1t was the
easiest mark they had struck for some
time. They had frequently made a
a tenderfoot line up to the bar and
drink when he didn't want to, but
they had never had the chance to
make parSon take hand in a poker
game before
The parson handled his cards with
great awkwardness, but in thinking
over 1T afterwards none of the boys
could remember that he handled
them in way that exposed them to
view When it came around to him
to put up his ante according to in
structions, but it was not observed
that he made any reckless bets. FL
naliy, one of the gang proposed a
Jackpot" The parson opened his
eyes in wonder and inquired: "What
Is a Jack-pot?" 1t was explained and
the parson was-told if he had a pair
of jacks or better he could stay in and
bet what he pleased.
1t was recollected afterwards that
the parson had dealt the cards lust
previous to this Jackpot" He had
protested that he couldn't deal and
asked the boys to spare him from the
sin of having dealt cards. but they
wouldn't. They insisted that he
must deal. They laughed and rolled
on the table in glee to see the awk-
ward manner in which the man of the
cloth handled those cards. The lead
er OF the gang said that it was evil
dent enough that the parson want
wing about not knowing a thing
about cards; no man who had ever
seen card could be so blamed awk-
ward. They were likewise tickled to
death at the kind of hands the par-
son had given them in his awkward
way. There were six sitting in the
game besides the unwilling parson
and not man had less than a full
hand Three of them had four of A |
kind. The parson appeared to be full
