GAMBLERS SHIRT UNLUcKY
Poker Player Lost $40 While Wear
Ing New Garment and Gave It
to the Janitor.

Although Snuggins is not wealthy
he is in receipt of a comfortable in
come, and is able to indulge him
self in certain luxuries and weak
nesses without impoverishing HIM
self. He has a fondness for fine
shirts and has them made to order
at the rate of six dollars apiece. He
is also a regular participant in a
Saturday night poker game with
friends. The limit is a dollar, and
considerable sums change hands as
the result of the play.
At his last Saturday night game
he had on the first of a lot of half a
dozen new shirts that had been de-
livered to him that day and he lost
$40. The next day he declared with
emphasis that he never would wear
that particular garment again. On
Monday he gave the shirt to the
janitor, and then he felt better.
"Thank goodness" he said, '1'm rid
of that-shirt. It's unlucky." And
no amount of argument could turn
him from that belief.
