ONE LESSON OF A POKER GAME It Was amed by a Man Who Bet His Emplo; er's Money, . SUIPPED FROM THE BRINK OF DiSHONOR A Pointed Story e Danger Practice of Mixims Amother ! Man's Money with Your Own. “I can't say 1 ever had any experience that made me swear off playing poker, #ald the gray-haired, young-looking man to & New York Sun story teller, “but there is something that poker taught me. Ever since I played a memorable game in Detroit some twenty-five years ago | bave made it part of my religion never to mix another man’s money with my own. “I was traveling for a Jarge concern In New York at the time and, as the custom ‘was in those dxys, 1 not only wold goods for them, but a good part of my business was the collection of outstanding accounts. It therefore happened not infrequently that I would bave considerable sums of money with me for some days. “There was one patticular party of five Detroft who played together a great 1 and who wiways seemed giad to have me take the sixth hand. Good players they were, too, though only one of them was & profestional. He was old Jack Adams, who Bad the reputation of belng the squarest gambler in the west. He was fond of poker 48 An amuwement, but he wouldn't play it excepting with his frien His roulette and faro tables were for outsiders. “There was a judge among the five and & hotel keeper named Collins, a doctor named BStetsot and a hardware merchant whose name, I think, was Cook. The gimo was usually & pretty stiff one, for they played ak arted fn with 100 usual good or bad luck running to anybody thers would oftem be $1,000, or even 32,000 on the table by the end of the evening. “1 had been traveling for a weok among the jer towns and had taken In some- thing over $1,000, which 1 had not had an opportunity to remit. I expeected to bank it om reaching Detroit, but the train was delayedl and I got there after banking bours. 80 it was stili in my pocket when I went around with Collins after dinner to join in the game. I had about 3200 of my own with me. But the important thin, it turned out, was that the firm’s money and my own ‘was together In one roll. Starts with a Rush. ““The game began as usual, and proved to be & switt one, almost from the start. No- body seemed o have any monopoly of the luek for more than & few minutes at a time, b\lt every few deals there would he a strug- between two, or somethimes three ma- and the pot would swell rapidly. The cards were running unusually well. “For my own part I did fairly well sev- eral times, but got bit hard almost as fre- auently, so that although I doubled my stake lnside of twenty minutes and ran it up to nearly $300 in twenty minutes more, I found myself down to a few red chips by the time the hour was up. With the game golng up and down as it did, I had no particular misgivings about declaring other bundred in, and I dld so without re- alixiog at the moment that I was prac- tically putting my euntire capital into the game. “The next pot put me on Kasy street. It was a jackpot for §2, and on the first deal T caught three jacks, so I opemed it, though I sat under the guns, for the amount in the pot, which was, of course, $12. Cook sat mext and he came in. The judge laid down, Collins ralsed me $15 and Stetson saw the ral died uls hand for a full minute before put up his ‘money, but finally he threw it (o, apd I ralsed it $25. 1 thought it was a good play, even though two players had seen the first raise, for 1 #till had the chancé of the draw and my hand was certalnly strong befere the draw. It turned out all right, for though Cook threw down his hand, not being strong enough to see a double ra'se, Collins and Stetson both made good. Adams sur- rendered, showing that his long study hadn't been a bluff, as T bad suspécted it was. I therefore had the hands weeded and only two players left in agamst m and my Jacks looked as good as, if not bet- ter, than they did at first, *Of course I was at a disadvantage in Daving to draw first, but I decided to draw the strength of my hand, although it was & dead give away. Threes were good enough to justify my play and unless Col- los or Stetson should stand pat I felt that T was still strong. Stetson did stand pat atter Collinse had drawn two cards, so T sised up Collins for three of a kind and Btetson for a small stral, Tt couldn't be much of & straight, even, for it he had much confidence In it he would have played it barder. Raked In the P “Anybhow, I threw in a white chip before looking at my draw. Collins wasn't likely to raise unless he had bettered, but he looked carefully before playing and to my dismay ralsed me $60. It was up to Stetson baving, as I had suspected, and as afterwards proved to be the case, » nine-high stralght, feit compelied to e After that | had, of course, to look at my draw, and to my Intense joy I.found I had caught & pair of fours. The anly regret then was that I had nothing imporant in tront of me to raise with. “My plle was only $54, but I push: that forward, knowing that the others would 1 scooped il He sald afterward that b have to see the $4 additional o the pot, Collins having a seven agalnst all up and Stetson bad ouly three or four red chips, so it hardly seemed worth while. “That geve me pretty nearly $400 to go on with asd I ed along with varying luck tor more than an hour before I struck @ bad streak that ran me away down again ‘Then, strange as it may seem, I forgot en- tirely that I bad bou twice and I put another hundred ip. If 1 had not had my money rolled up with the firm's I never could have rasde that mistake, but I didn't stop to ecuri up and the thing was done before I vealized it “It wi s Dot until 1 bad lost something Colds Sre Quickly Cured by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy It acts on nature’s plan, loosens the cough, ves the lungs and opens the se- cretions, effecting a perma- neat cure.

Large size 50 cent Iike §75 sut of the third hundred that I re- membered what ) bad actually done. Then it came to me, because 1 realised that I w likely to bave to buy a or quit game. My Arst thought was to buy, and then, like a sfroke of Iightning came the thought that I couldn’t buy more, as my monty was all in already. Then the second tho.ght came and almost stunned me, that 1 had bought, not twice, but three times. “1 shfd nbthing, Bt for the next two minutes I 414 a powerful lot of thinking. I know, I looked at the hand that was dealt to me just then without being able to tell whether I had deuces or a straight flush. I couldn’t have told & card in the hand. I threw it down and, as it happened, there was something doing among the other play- ors, 50 that 1 had time to think out the sit- uation before deniding what I should do. Mixing the Money.' ““The question was a very nice one. I didn’t know te a dollar exactly how much was mine and how much wasn't out of that big roll that was so cursedly convenleat to my band, but I 44 know that I had used more than belonged to me, and that Af I cashed In the chips I had in froat of me I would sti}l be an ombesaler. T thought came to me that I might buy still another hundred and by playiog an extra cAutious game might probably pull out of my hole, but 1 am glad to say that I re- Jected at temptation without an in- stant's hesitation. Come what might, T would ot touch another dollar of ‘the money. ‘Then came afother thought. There was nearly $30 in chips which I had already pald for. Of course, as I see it now, I had #o more right to play on with those chips than I had to play in the $1,000 or there- Abouts that was still in my pocket, but the thought I bad then was that I had already ‘misused so much of the money and It would be no additional wrong to do the best 1 cauld on that amall capital to pull out as much as I bad taken wrongfully. It was the worst kind of sophistry, of course, but for the moment, in my excitement, it seemed not only & perfectly natural, but a Justifiable course, and I decided to try it. “I knew poker well enough, even then, to realizs that if | played timidly om such a capital it wouldn't last long, and If, on the other hand, I should risk it wildly I would probably lose it all in no time, Bo 1 determined to to play exactly as. if the money were my own and was the last 1 bad. ‘“The tension on my nerves was some- thing frightful when I ploked up my mext hand, but my faculties were very much allve, and I could have shrieked with joy when I saw thui I had four treys cold. It was my age, too, and I had thrown in 1] ususl ante of $1, calling $2. The only thing 1 had to hope for was that they weuld all come n, and the only thing I had to study was how much of & raise I dared to make s not to drive anybody away. ““As it happened they all came In, 80 there was $11 in the pot when it was up to me to make good. Of course, I wanted to raise it all T could, but I kmew that would be ruinous. The game had been & pretty liberal one, though, and I judged that thay would all be Itkely to stay agalnst a small raise, so I made it five more to play, and they all eame in but Cook. More than that, Adams raised me five. “Then I figured that {f I raised again be- fore the draw I would certainly drive some of them out, so I simply made good, think- ing that everybody who should see this second raise would be hooked for falr and uld put his mo up before I would be ed on to bet at all. And they all saw it “Of course, I drew one card. The judge stood pat, Collins drew two, Stetson took three and Adams took one. The judge then bet $10. Collins saw this, Stetson laid down and Adams rajsed it twenty-five more. “All T could do, of course, was to call for & show, which I did, and to my delight the Judge and Collins both ealled. The judge had a small flush, Collink had three lu- and Adams bhad & nine full. That Adams the money on the side, but l found myself with over a hundred and fifty In tront of me instead of the thirty of a few moments before. “Then 1 put an even hundred In blue chips on one side, saying to myself that thing would tempt to play those in. The other fifty I comsidered my own, and T resolved to try to pull out with that. But It it came to a cholce between throwiug down my cards, no matter what they might be, or betting again with the firm's money, I would certainly throw down. “Well, it dida’t come to that. In the xt four or five hands I lost about $10 and then I caught a flush against three kings and pulled in thirty odd dollars, and a few minutes later I filled a straight against three other good hands and won nearly two bundred. That put me on velvet and I de- termined to stay till I got ove more good play and then cash in, win or lose. ““The play came soon and once more I was lucky, wioning sixty odd dollars on thres queens, and I got cold feet promptly. My excuse was fatigue from several days' hard travel and as it was past mid 1t was accepted as perfectly patural, but 10 one in the party ever dreaned how much those four treys worth to me. “As [ sald, the lesson dida’t cure me of but I never plaved it again that dido’t belong to me,” o CHICAGO, Feb. 21.—After & ys of work officials of the Rock Island road todsy announced detalls of theé opening of the El Paso extension of the Hne. Coutrary to expectation, the Rock Island will operate & through train service Chicago to El Paso. At first it was be- lleved by officers of the system that a through service trom Chicago would be too long, but after due conslderation it has been decided to run solid tralns from this city to the Mexican border. The new scheduie will become eflective March 1, and provides for a through train to depart from Chicago dally at 11:30 p. m.

There is no newspaper in the United States published in a city + of less than 150,000 inhabitants that ranks with The Omaha Bee, as complete, up-to-date and well edited newspaper. It is recognized as the representative paper of the Trans. mississippi region, The Bee prints all the news; it pre- sents it well arranged in readable form; it throws its searchlight on all public institutions without fear or fa. vor; it has been for 30 years an un- tiring worker for the interests of the people of the great west, of Ne- braska and of Omaha.

How The Bee is Made The Bee has without question the best me- chanical plant in the west. The typesétting is done on twelve Mer- genthaler linotype ma- chines,, and thiz bat- tery of machines is kept in operation’ night and day. in order that the latest news may go into each edition of the paper. The printing is done on two double supplement Hoe presses. These giant machines each have a capacity of 24,000 eight, ten or twelve- page papers, or 12,000 sixteen, twenty or twenty-four-page pa- pers. With an equip- ment of this kind, The Bee is able to consume the least possible time in printing the paper, in erder to make com- nections with trains, and this is the rea- son why The Bee is able to print later news than its competitors. The [Hlustrated Bee There iz only one other paper in the country which prints a half-tone supplement that compares with The Illustrated Bee. The quality of the pa- per and engravings, as well as the pictures, place it in a class. by itself. The Ree has its own photographic de- partment, so that noth- ing of intereest to be presented to our read- ers, escapes the eye of the camera. Bach week’s contains Irank penter's letters illus- trated from his own snap shots, and these alone are worth the price of a year's sub- scription. The holiday and spe- cial numbers of The IHustrated Bee com- pare favorably with the best magazines.
