QUEER POKER GAME.
Two Straight Flushes, One Secured
in a Four-Card Draw.
Four well known gentlemen sat down
to a game of poker several days ago
at u club which Is only two or three
minutes walk from this ofllce. They
agreed to play with the joker in the
deck so as to add excitement to the
game. For tho benefit of the unini
tiated It may be stated that the joker
In a poker game can be counted as any
card in the deck. That is, If you are
drawing for a straight, a flush, a full
house, or four of n kind, or In fact,
for any hand, .and you are dealt the
joker, you can use it to fill In Just as If
you had drawn tho desired card.
The four gentlemen in iiestlon pro
duced a new deck of cards, and on the
second deal, after the draw, three of
them dropped out; the fourth, whom
we will call Mr. Long, had drawn four
cards to the joker. He was lucky
enough to draw the seven, eight, nine
and ten of hearts,' and by colling tho
joker the jack of hearts lie had a Jack
high straight flush. Poker players and
those who understand tho game need
not be told how good this hand Is and
to what use it can be put in a big
game. Unfortunately, however, for
Sir. Long, no one stayed with him and
lie was about to throw away his cards
in disgust, when the gentleman on his
left, whom we will call Mr. Short,
stopped him. Mr. Short, who acted as
the olllclal coroner of the game, had
performed n post-mortem. While Mr.
Long had looked sorrowfully at his
good luuul Mr. Short hail picked up
the five top cards from the dlscnrds,
and to hla astonishment, lie found that
they were the deuce, tray, four, five
and six of hearts, as good a straight
(lush a can be desired.
"Mr. Long," said Mr. Short, the coro
ner, "I would like to make a small bet
on tho hand I just picked up."'
"You're tho man I'vo been looking
for," promptly replied Mr, Long, as
vlsloiiH of raking In the long green
appeared before hint.
"I'll bet you 5,000 I have a better
hand than you." Tho mention of this
sum cunio as a Httrpriso to Mr. Short,
and the latter answered that $100 was
all ho would wager. There was some
good-natured bantering and llnally. tho
bet rose to $150. Mr. Long then show
ed his hand, and when Mr. Short saw
the jack-high stralglit-llush of hearts
lie came near being a subject for a
real coroner.
It was tha strangest coincidence of
hands thai those gentlemen over en
countered, and It can only bo explained
by the fact that the cards hod only
been shullled onco and therefore had
not been fully mixed,
