SOME GOOD POKER STORIES.
How Henry AVnltersnn (lot i:veu om A
tuck l'nt.
Llko nil thoroughbred Kentucklnns tho
editor of The Imlsvllle Courier-Journal,
Henry Wnttcrson, Is a great okrr player.
Ono evening soino years ago hu was in Now
York city nnd went to see tho llrst Ainerlcnn
jirodiictlon of (lilUrt .t Sullivan's oiern,
"Tho 1'lrntes of lVimtiira" llolng an ad
mirer of pretty women nnd protty music,
tlio Hrforiunuce caught him, and ho wns
especially taken with tho song, "I Am it
I'linto King." Ho hummed tho air between
the nets ami lmtwis.m cloves until he had it
down "pat-" It was 011 Ids lips when ho left
tho thentro after tho ierformatico, nnd tho
molody welled up from his brond chest ns ho
droppcsl into a well known resort nnd en
countered a number of professional friends,
Thoro went Ned Hnrrlgnn, Nat (loodwln,
Nwl Thorno nnd other choice splrlU, nnd to
them Mr. Wattetson lauded tho now optrn
and chasnl suntchesof tho "I'lrnto King"
through his puckensl lips. Boon it modest
game wns suggested, nnd the custodian of
the star eyed goddess of reform willingly
consented to take a hand. Luck wns not
with him nt the shirt, nnd tho stack In front
of him dwindled perceptibly, He warbled
his favorite song, but the molody brought no
substantial solnco. Thou he ls?gntt to tvlnto
reminiscence of the times when "ho was
with Grant." Meanwhile Hilly Harry had
ilropiml in ns an 011 lookor, and w hen Wnt
tcrson, whom ho did not know, mentioned
his intlmnte acquaintance with tho old hero,
Hilly stcpiKsl on Ned Hnrrlgnn' foot, nud In
n sUtgo whlper askedt "Who's his slobs!"
He was Informed that "his slobs" wns all
right, and then ho appeared satlsllcd. l'rotty
soon thoro was n Jack pot. The editor picked
up his hand, slid the squeezer nst his good
oyo and began to softly whlor tlio "I'irnto
King." Ned mid Nat Investigated nud
stayed In. Thorno dropped out Tony Hart,
who was dealing, remained In with the
others. Nat bet 10 nnd Hnrrlgnn saw him.
Then Mr. Wnttcrson passed his cards in re
vlow lieforo his vnluablo optic, musically
declared himself n pirate king mid shoved
up a f'JO stack. Tony Hart gazed nt him
Bonrchlngly over his hand, saw the t'M, nnd
hold his breath, Nntnnd Hnrrlgnn passed
out, while Hilly Harry shifted to tho other
foot and ticgan to take n deep Interest in tlio
fun. Wnttcrson carefully "skim" his card
again nud called for "0110 paper." Hart
breathed a sigh of rellof nud wanted two
cards. It wns tho tatter's bet, and ho felt his
way carefully with "ono seed." Tlio man
with tho melody nnd tho uncertain vision
hoisted him a blue stack. Tony elevated him
back. Then the editor again used ids good
oyo as a roviowlng stand, and tho llvo cards
assod by In single lllo. Again tho air which
hod charmed tho Louisville editor floated
upon the atmosphere, nnd ho shunted two
bluo stacks to tho leeward of tho rake off
aperture. Tony looked at him ngluist, nnd
simply called, throwing upon tho tnblo, face
upward, three largo nces and two fives. Wat
torson adorned tho green bnlzo with four
stalwart Jacks, and softly hummed "I Am a
l'irato King," As Tony witnessed his ap
propriation of tho ot, ho rcNxmdod, "I'm
d-d it I don't think you aro," and Hilly
Hurry tiptoed softly out of tho room.
CmiEht on a Orrnt ItliifT.
"At Lcndvlllo onco I sat in a gnmo of
poker with Senator Tom Howcn, of Califor
nia," said a Mexican mlno speculator, "and I
don't caro to play with him again very soon.
Dr. Powell, a locul millionaire, was also piny
ing, nnd I was by far tho smallest sordino in
tho box. Senator Howcn was n terrlblo bluffer,
and thought 110 mora of losing (100,000 than
tho ordinary man would $100. In thoso
days a bluff meant n good deal, too. Men
used to go down Into their pockets, nnd If
you couldn't cover tho monoy on tho table
tho other follow took tho stuff. Wo had
mndo n Jack xt and there wits ('J,000 on tho
table, liowon had two pairs, Jacks up, and
ho passed. That was a trick of his. I'uwcll
had a pair of kings and he opened tho pot for
fSO. I had three sixes and I stood the f.V)
nnd mado it $100 better. Tho othor peoplo
dropped out until it camo to Iloweu, who
raised It toOO, making it cost C'KO to draw
cards. Powell nnd I stnyod, liowen stood
pat. Dr. Powoll drow three nnd I drew two.
Powell caught a pair of lives to his kings,
nnd I captured my fourth six. Bay, may 1m I
wasn't shaking, for I know Howcn wns in for
a big bluff. Powell scorned afraid and gently
laid in 20. I raised him ?.VX), nnd Howcn
wont $1,000 better than me. Dr. Powell took
out his chock book and said: 'I suppose you
will not object to my check?'
"Wo both mummied 'No,' nnd ho Just
callod tho $1,500. 1 then got out my check
book nnd rnlsed It (1,000.
"Howcn quit, 'If I thought you had lott
of monoy 1 would rnlso this iot enough to
mnko it interesting. As it Is, I'll Just tilt her
5,000.'
"Powell laid down his cards without n
word. It took me ten minutes to decide
whether to call or raise, but I wns afraid if
I raises 1 him ho would Jump ou me for moro
thnu I could produco, and thus capture the
pot. So I said: 'I'll call that.' Howcn
calmly throw his hand into the deck, nnd I
left town loa Jed down with money."
IIU Only Straight I'liioli.
"I hnvo btvn playing jsiker for twcnty-flvo
years, nud I never held a straight flush but
once in my life," said a gray haired veteran
tho othor day. "Then it didn't do me nny
good. There w ero savin of uh playing, nnd n
jtck pot hnd passed nround five times with
out nny ono having owners. On the sixth
deal it was my first say. I nearly fainted
when I beheld a pat straight Hush. I thought
some ono would surely open it, and made
what 1 considered a nice piny by jmsslng.
