MISTIGRIS.

This is a variation which may be introduced into any version of Poker.

Mistigris is the "blank" card usually sold with a pack to show its pattern.

This is shuffled with the rest, and the fortunate player to whom it falls

is entitled to "make" it represent any suit and value he pleases. Thus if

he has three sevens and mistigris, mistigris will represent the missing

seven, and make him "fours." In conjunction with two pairs, it makes the

hand a "full." If the player has four hearts and mistigris, he can claim a

flush; and should his four hearts be in sequence, he is considered to hold

a straight flush, the mystic mistigris representing the particular card

required to complete it.
