Playing Poker by Wire.

Few outside the brotherhood of the
key are aware that operators often
play poker over the wire. 1t is, never
theless, fact, and the diversion is fair
ly common.
"When l was working on the
Blankety-blank line at a little railroad
station in Illinois," said an ex-operator
the other day, business was very slack
toward early morning, and we used to
get up a four handed game regularly.
The players were myself and three 9th
er operators at different points along
the line. We would call each other up,
and then every man would deal him
self a hand, making his discards and
helping as desired. Of course, we had
to trust to mutual honor as to cheating,
but l think everybody was on the
square. All played freeze out, and the
loser had to treat when we got togeth-
er at headquarters, which was about
once a month. l must confess that the
action was a little slow, but the game
was more exciting than one might
imagine. ALMOST all the old operators
have played cards by telegraph at
some tine or another" Chicago
Chronicle.
