As in the game of three-card monte, it appears impossible to tell in what order the three will turn up was, is and will be, lose their special significance. Clairvoyance, in its time aspect, whether spontaneous, hypnotically induced, or self-induced, is susceptible of classification as post-vision, present vision, and prevision.
There was chuck-a-luck and a crap game going, and going every minute, too, with Cousin Egbert trying to start three-card monte at another table only they all seemed wise to that. Even the little innocent children give him the laugh. I went over to the roulette table and lost a few dollars, not being able to stick long, because other women would keep goring me with their elbows.
The newspapers that had the Bibles telegraphed to them from the east, were also pirates. O, the revision is a three-card monte speculation; that is all it is. A black bear was brought into town for sale on Friday, having been killed by Tom Rand, near Onalaska. He killed it with a little rifle that didn't look big enough to hurt a hen.
If a dishonest financier came to Holland from any other country, and did any of his dirty work, the women of Holland, who handle the funds, would give him such a hazing that he would never open his three-card monte lay-out in any other country.

Now to our mind this is simply intellectual thimble-rigging. Or rather does it not suggest the three-card trick?
"The goose?" I uttered. "Yes. Keno." "I am a stranger to the goose," said I. He grunted. "It gives a quick turn for a small stake. So do the three-card and rondo." Of passageway there was not much choice between the middle of the street and the borders.
My old friend, Henry Mange, who keeps a boat store in New Orleans, was running the bar on the Emigrant at the time, and he often asks me about the war on the Missouri River. "Rattlesnake Jack" was about the last man I worked with as a partner playing three-card monte. His right name was Jackson McGee.
