 In Poker, what is meant by table stakes?"
 A. This is simply an agreement to raise the betting limit to the amount any player has on the table before him at the time. No player can increase the amount of his table stake after he has looked at any of the cards dealt him. If any player has not enough on the table to call, he may call Q sight for what he has, and separate that part of the pool from the rest, so that other players may 90 on and call g sight for their pile, or call the bet or raise 1t. If the one who calls for a sight has the best hand shown at the finish, he takes his part of the pot. The others decide the rest of te pot on the merits of their hands.

 A. The diamond suit is supposed to represent wealth, the heart suit sentiment, the club suit power, and the spade suit death. The Kings are supposed to represent Manhood, the Queens Wonanhood, and the Jacks Youth. By arranging the Court cards of the four suits you will notice in the diamond suit that all face the suit mark. the King being particu- larly intent. In the Heart suit all look toward the suit mark, the Jack particularly SO. In the Club suit both the King and Queen look to- ward the suit mark, the Jack being somewhat indifferent to power, and therefore looks away. In the Spade suit all look away from the suit mark, particularly the Jack, which representing youth. is more adverse to Death.
