Capital. It is even said to be the sole surviving custom of “the good old days,” although every now and then a captured hootlegger in a green hat will insist that he serves a num- ber of congressional as “well as other official customers with brews and dis- tillations forbidden by the Volstead act and the eighteenth amendment to the Constitution. 5 Strong denials always are made of these hootlegging allegations, and al- ways the denfals are accepted at their face value. But with poker it is dif- ferent. Reports have it that some of the solons do not even wait for rainy days in order to indulge their penchant. for the game. “Senatorial Game” A_few short. years ago there exis in Washington a distinct classifica- tion of poker known as “the torial game.” The fame of this game spread virtually from coast to coast. Perhaps Senators in their travels in- itiated the country at large. Of course, there may be a new morality in Washington today which will even denv the existence of this senatorial game. In any event, it thrived until very recent date, as some real inno- cents who came in contact with the buzzsaw learned to their financial sorrow.

Out of the sev: cards one lected the best available poker hand, There was also a variation known as “spit-in-the-ocean,” which was 100 involved and too intriguing to be explained here. “Fish me Ruled Ou One innocent young player from the West who got caught in the game one night tried to introduce a variation which he wanted to call “fish-in-the-frying-pan,” but he was ruled out on a point of order. It must not be supposed that all of the poker playing in Washington is confined to the Senate, however. There are some poker players in the House of Representatives who could give their senatorial brothers an ace in the hole on every hand and then beat them to the jackpot with plenty of room to spare. The House has never developed so characteristic a game as the Senate. Some of the most famous Senate players have de- parted from Washington. Others are about to go, but the traditions of the old game will always linger about the chamber and perhaps there will be new young bloods from the West, or possibly from the South, to “carry on" even in the face of growing difficulties surrounding every form of individual libert R.T.
