He Couldn't Figure lt

Mose and Sam, two colored brothers in a poker game, sat clutching their cards. Mose said:

"Sam, Ah'll tell you what Ah'll do. You give me one queen outa de deck, an' Ah'll bet you all Ah got heah on dis hand."

Sam looked over the four cold kings in his hand, and crooned with joy. Rapidly searching the discard he handed over the queen asked for, and shoved in his stack. Mose threw away one card and picked up the queen. Sam spread his cards triumphantly on the table face up. Four kings and a nine. Then Mose laid down his hand. Four aces and a queen. He picked up all the money on the table, rose from his chair, and departed. Sam just sat and stared at the two hands.

"Men," he finally said, "what Ah wants me to know is, what in de Hell did Mose want wid dat queen?"
