Generally speaking good people
do not like to be fooled. Vet they
aie deceived and trided with so much
that it is diffi ult to tell wheti they
are being forded and it 1* not strange '
that they become more or less indif
ferent to it after a time. When we I
sav the republican party never tried
to f <d the people, we state a histori

A VER Y QUEEB DEAL.
IN A FAMOUS GAME OF DRAW POKER
IN OLD DAKOTA.
The IJenlcr Gave Hi* Hivul Four
Jack* and Himself Four ({ueons.
When the Shotv Donn tame, the
Jacks Had Turned to Ace*.
In the northwest they still talk about
the last poker gams that Major Ed
wards and Stanley Huntley played to
gether. They were pioneer editors of
newspapers in Dakota in the old terri
torial days. Huntley had just sold his
paper in Bismarck for £2,500 cash and
was coming east. He and the major had
sat in many a quiet game together, and
Huntley went over to the major’s office
to say goodby and play one last game.
The major produced the cards, locked
the dcor, and the two faced a green ta
ble.
The maj r had the reputation cf be
ing a skillful dealer, and Huntley’s
previous experiences had taught him
that cards sometimes appeared in the
major's hand on a show down whose
legitimate existence conld only be ac
rounted for on the hypothesis that the
age of miracles bad not passed. So be
had fortified himself for this farewell
game not only with the £2,500 which
be had received for his newspaper prop
erty. but also with four large but not
overworked aces.
There was no limit, but for an hour
the game went along quietly enough.
The major was out £JG0 or £400, but,
as both players remarked, the game was
“young yet. ” At last a jack pot for £50
came and remained. Back and forth
aerr -s the table went the deck. Neither
man could get openers. Each time the
deal pn^ed the pot was sweetened £40.
At latt there was £380 cn the table.
The major dealt. Huntley looked over
his cards and found four jacks.
As lias been said, the major was a
eli k dealt r, and when a big pool was
at stak- and it was his deal he gener
ally managed to give his opponent a
good stiff hand, while taking care that
he himself had one just a shade better.
So, when Hnntk-y found the fonr
jacks in his band it seemed to him that
the time had come to precipitate his
four aces into action The jacks were
reti: d unostentatiously, and with a
faint—a very faint—shade of disari
pointment in his voice Huntley an
nounced
“I can't break it. ”
The major was still examining his
cards with that hesitating air that some
people always believe means “studying
cut a straight. ” Finally he said:
“I'll have to break it for $500. It’s a
big pot. ”
Ir ntley k >ked mournful and said
“I’ll stay. Gimme a card.”
“None for me.” announced the major
briskly. as be threw over a card and
laid down the deck. “I’ll bet yot] $500. *
“I’ll raise you $590,” said Hnntley
“Five hundred more, ” said the major
“When I sat down.” said Hnntley.
“I had $0,500 in my pocket. I'll raise
you the full amount of that on this one
hand. If I lose, I’m broke.”
The major took another lock at his
hand and replied
“I haven't got as much as that in
cash I'll make out a bill of sale of the :
building and plant, newspaper and all,
and put that in the pot. If you win, j
you can hold it till tomorrow, when I’ll
settle. ”
“Go ahead,” said Huntley.
The major wrote out the bill of sale
and threw the slip of paper into the pot
on top of the big pile of greenbacks.
Both men bad emptied their pockets.
“Now I’ll call you,” said the major
“Fours, “said Huntley, and he laid
down bis four one spots. The major
never flinched. He examined the aces,
one after another. Then he laid down
his hand and said briefly:
“You win, Stanley. All I had was
fonr queens. ”
The next day the major redeemed his
bill of sale and Huntley came to New
York and began to write the “Spoopen
dyke Papers, ” which were first publish
ed in the Lrooklyn Eagle. He’s been
dead for years now.
About two years after the famous
poker game Major Edwards was visit- |
ing New York, and he looked up Hunt- j
ley They dined together at the Astor
House. After coffee and when the cigars
had been lighted the major said:
“Stanley, of course when gentlemen
like juu and I play pck.er together
there’s never any question about the
game being straight. Ent there’s one
thing that’s been puzzling me for two
years, and I want to ask yon about it.’
“Go ahead, major,” said Huntley,
puffing his cigar.
“Stanley, why in thunder did yon
refu>e to open that last jack pot when
you had four jacks in your hand?”
“Majt r, returned Huntley thought
fully. laying down his cigar, “who
dealt that last hand?”
“1 did. Stanley,” said the major.
“Well, then, major, since four aces
won the pet, bow in thunder could it
Lave been a straight game?”
“That's so.” said the major re
flectively “Let’s get a cab and go to
tome theater. ’’—New York Press.
