In the District Conrtof Weber County, State I cents out of each pot that contained over $2, until he had received $10, after which there should be no kitty. It was a table stakes game and it was hardly to be expected that it would continue more than a short time before one, at least, of the players would be broke, but curious enough, it was a full half hour before any one of the five had lost his pile. And the final 50 cents that completed Simpson's $10 came out of the pot which Carter lost after putting In his last chip. Old Man Hopkins counted up the two stacks of red chips in the kitty, and, laying them aside, took $10 from the bank roll and handed it to Simpson, who had been watching the play with greedy interest He stretched out his hand and grasped the money eagerly enough and said "thank you" with sufficient grace, but Instead of leaving the room forthwith, as they had expected him to do, he hesitated and looked first at the chips on the table and then at the seat which Carter had vacated, without a word, after losing his money.

"I know," said Simpson briefly, and as no one made objection he got his chips and the game went on. At first it seemed that he was going to win, .for pot after pot fell, to him, but they were all playing cautiously and no pot was very large. He had pulled up to more than $20, though, when the luck turned and took his three pots in succession money until he had only one blue chip (From the New York Sun.)
