scribed IS early as 1918 in t. Acad-
emie Universelle des Jeux. In the
French description of the game we are
told that player opened the betting
by saying, "Je poque dun jeton" q
raise one chip, or two chips, or as
many as he LEASED, and then the others
could see him, raise him or drop out in
their turn. The opening word "pooue"
became separated into two syllables
and thus evolved the familiar name of
poker.
Authorities agree that poker was in
troduced into the colony of Louisiana
! from France, perhaps by the same
French traveller from Persia, the name
being merely an English mispronuncia-
| ton of poque. The earliest mention of
the game in America Is in G. B. zieber's
Exposure of the Arts and Miseries OF
Gambling" (l843), where an occurrence
is described that puts modern gambling
endurance to shame. Five men in New

but not busted" None of the party
long survived this ordeal.
1t is probable that as early as 1880
poker was generally played on the Mis-
sissippi River steamboats,. The old river
men played their game with 20 cards
the ace, king, queen, jack and 10 alone
of each suit being used. This seems to
have been the original form of the

His wife, Gladys, who believed in gym

One night he collided head on with

like a rock, but Gladys and her lawyers
appealed and appealed.
But that is not all. AS If this direct
attempt we're not enough, Assemblymen
Couran and Lyles introduced into the
Missouri Legislature bill for the strict
regulation of poker playing and the
licensing of players. You cannot tell
a dyed-in -the-wool inside Straighter
that this unparalleled bill is a joke.
No, sir! Behind it is some fell purpose
and sacrilege. Says the bill:
Whereas there are millions of dol
lars lost annually by incompetent and
foolish persons who do not know the
value of a poker hand, and many and
divers rersons are atte 'lptino to play
said game without having had proper
instruction. an emergency is created
within the meaning of the Constitution,
therefore this act shall be in force and

approval"
