Tells of Experience in Stud
Game, Where Best Hand
Failed to Win.

All OF which goes to prove that the
only thing certain about poker is that
it's bound TO change" The man who
made this remark was the biggest
winner in a dollar limit game which
by agreement was to end at midnight
and had continued until 1880. II was
occasioned by the fact that on sew
eral occasions Immediately preceding

the size Of the game. largely il not

Poker luck, huh! Where do you
get that noise?" demanded the biggest
loser. My observations covering a
a period of twenty years or more have
convinced me that there amt no such

The other players, seeming an in.

preparation for departure and Gazed

I'll luck may pursue man through
game or through several games, but
never continuously.

You talk like the man who wrote
the game" said the man whose re.
mark started the discussion. what

My statement applies to poker. not
TO game of poker" replied the loser.
I'll back the man who plays con-
sistently and with due regard for per-
centages and the idiosyncrasics OF his
opponents any time against the lucky
seed.
Some Men Cannot Play.
Scientif poker some people call
1t. but so many elements enter the
contest that il is hard TO define just
what the term means. Some men are
SO constituted that with all the luck
IN tho world they just naturally can't
play poker. It's a question of tenn
permanent more than brains. They may
have made fortune in their business
or professions. but place them behind
hve cards with stack OF chips in
front Of them and their Judgment isn't
worth shucks. It's just like fannin'
grandma for her specs to separate
them from their pile"
"of course no matter how we'll a
man understands the game. he is
bound to have his setbacks. Not
wishing to talk about myself had
mine tonight. But speaking of hard
luck. there is one instance which will
live forever in my memory.
Table Stake Stud Game.

take care OF himself.
"On this night 1t was evident from
the start that fortune was not with
him. His first stack lasted two rounds
and he bought second. and demand

game and he was sitting to the left
OF the dealer. The first card dealt
him was the ace of diamonds.
Man with Queen Raised.
ut was his bet, and without looking
at his hole card he wagered a white
chip. Three men stayed and the
fourth with a queen in sight, raised it
70. The next man, with ten showing
stayed. The dealer dropped.
THE lad whom the jinx had been
pursuing took peek at his hole card
and discovered the ace OF spades. 1t
is OF course unnecessary TO explain TO
you gentlemen that aces back to back
in a stud game is considered some
hand.
Being too wise bird to scare the
others out at this stage, he merely
covered the raise and, having the

white chip.

while and decided he'd gone far

Without hesitating and before any
OF us could grasp his intent, he rushed
to the table, which he seized in both
hands and overturned, scattering chips
and cards all over the room.
'Cm'n fellers,' he yelled. Cut this
game out I've got a couple of taxis
outside loaded with booze, and we are
all goin' TO my fat and have a little
party
AS l have previously remarked, my
friend is a mild hammered man, but
this was too much. Without word
he arose, removed his coat and started
In to administer to that young man
the lesson Of his life. Had It not
been for our interference he probably
would have given him licking which

Even women who hesitate to

agree with Mrs. Davidson on gen.

Did you ever hang pictures and

Il looked at my friend and could
