Hearta. II. J. G.. says: When you want 20 play
this gsme two hand how do you arrange iof inc
distribution Of the cards and how DO you settler
The whole pack IL used. but only thirteen cards
are given to each player. one at . time. The win
ner Of each trick draws tho. top card from the
stock, which remains face down, and the loser
draws the next card. After the stock Is exhausted
the cards are played out. In settling IT Is usual
TO pay for tho difference, or TO count all ABOVE
six a. % many. like The odd tricks In bridge
Raining. B.. Nee. says: A buggy supposed TO

Although not stated Il is assumed that there
were 100 chances. OF which 81 remained unthrown.
A.. IL 4. opS,, "a IN 4 that "a n hettRY will not be
thrown and 30 TO ! that the Il throw will be
equailed or beaten. the chance Is q mere specu-
lation. and $40 would be . big price for II. As
high as ~ or Is is usually expected In a rafle OF
100 chances.
PIquet. l.. S. ]. wants 10 know II this game can
be played BY three persons, or only by two.
When three play 1t is called piquet Normsnd
The dealer gives ten cards 70 each, leaving only
two for the stock. The dealer may exchange NO
of his cards for these. but no other player Is al
lowed 70 see or touch them. nor TO sec the dis
cards. Elder declares hrst and makes repic,
scoring 90. II he can'eet 70 20 without playing q
card. He scores pic II he can get TO 20 In hand and
play. II one player wins ten tricks he scores 40;
II two lake them all they score 20 each.
Euchre. NJ. A. Q. says: The dealer In a four
hand game gives three cards 70 each player and
himself. A bets he mus, give 70 all alike. The
dealer says as long as he gives them by twos and
throeS IL Is all right-
II Is Q misdeai II two cards are given to one
player and three to another In the same round,
no matter which player receives the three or which
the two. some dealers have an Idea that they
will get . bigger bunch OF trumps dealing the
cards In the manner described. but II Is against
the rules and loses the deal.
H. T. H. says: A bet that a player cannot
order up tho trump unless he has a trump In his
Thar. 10 M yuls as IN what a pIayer shall hold
when he orders up. Many players order up when
they are four TO tho dealers one II they are not
absolutely certain that they can stop a lone hand.
The less trumps they have the more ready they
are 70 order up.
Betting: A. J. N. says: A pool was made up on
. baseball score. and A drew one ticket calling
S fSE : ssG In t Z, ; boz 20 O. q 1 w az not ,si Know ws !s. 1sG we're eSs

Of tho pool he can win only a third Of the bet witt
B. while 4 contends hat as 81, he bad the winning
II must be taken that B did not think A had
the hight combination to hit the winning score,
and that B must therefore pay n his bet to A.
II you bet a man that his ticket IN a lottery will
not win . prize. and his number comes but. you
lose your bet. even II he holds only an eighth Of
that ticket.
cnbbbsg re. n. L, says: Please count this
hand for us, and show US how II should be done:
Two sevens, two aces and . seven for the starter.
Lay the sevens In q triangle. and each side will
make . pair. 9 holes. Each OF these pairs will
combine with one of the aces TO make . fifteen.
8 more holes. They will combine again with the
other ace TO make Q jmore holes. and the pair OF
aces will make : more, or % In all.
J. W. E. says: A bets b that unless there is at
least one fifteen two In The count. the total OF q
hand cannot be seventeen. Is this correct'
This 10 an old catch. its success depending on
the inability Of the taker OF the bet 10 think Of
such @ hand: but that does not prove that there
10 no such hand. II the bet Is made In the usual
way, II Is that B cannot show a such a hand. II
A bets that there Is no such hand he loses, as b
can pick out the club Jack. two kings and a queen.
and turn the club queen for a starter. which Is
worth II.
Poker. c. G. r. says: Several men have stayed
in . Jackpot but the opener pulls out after the
nut bet. A makes a raise and D drops, c. who
q moment and d puts cp enough 10 call without
waiting for c. whereupon c knocks his hand on
the table and asks A what he has. As G after
ward explained. he had a hight 20 see AZ cards
| called and he threw up his hand and said: You
win." When D went 70 reach for the pot A. pro-
tested and said he could beat d. as he had two
pain. bets ,h., 4 cannot Rex up hi. bend Sn;,
WIN TO D but 70 O.
II A thought @ had him beaten and c had al
ready surrendered 10 ID Il h logical TO assume
that D could beat A.. but In any case when A says
You win II clearly means that he does not
care TO show his hand In . call and that his cards
must be accepted a. abandoned SO far as win
