A certain club, the name of which
need not be mentioned, has strict reg.
ulations against gambling, relates the
American Spectator.
A quartette Of club members decid.
ed to break the rule by game Of
poker for small stakes, so they ad-
journed to one Of the small rooms and
told an old servant to bring pack of
cards.
When he brought them one of the
members asked: John, suppose it
would be something utterly new in
this club II we were to do such thing
as play for money with these cards"
The negro scratched his head and
deliberated, finally answering: "Boss.
