BBT HIS LIFE ON THE GAME. A Giant Poker Player Who Lost and Became a Practical Slave. From the New York World. ,Fort Smith, Ark., Dec. s.—The pres ence in this city the other day of an enor mous negro named Jim Zeigler recalled as Interesting a game of poker as was ever played in this country. Jim is perhaps the biggest man in the India-i Territory, being six feet eight inches tall and weighing 284 pounds. Well proportioned, perfectly erect, strong as an ox, this dusky Hercules has for the past ten years commanded both respect and admiration from half the Choc taw nation. Over near Kully Chaha, where he lives alone in a poverty-stricken old dug-out, his half-breed, Indian and desper ado neighbors call him Hauta-Kalauasa (the Black Giant), and he is treated with a deference consequent upon so meritorious a title. Nobody knows where he came from, nobody knows anything of his past life, but of one thing all are certain—lie is a man to avoid at all times. Gossip has it that at one time he killed with his list three deputy United States Marshals who had attempted to arrest him for illegal liquor selling, while another time he is said to have run 340 miles across i: to the Arapahoe country to escape an armed posse of United States officials. Be this as it may, Jim is today untrammelled with governmental fetters, and struts the Indian country with as much freedom as the big chief of the Council. Jim’s poker playing prowess is commen surate with his size. He used to sit for w hole days beside the rough Indian “saw-log" ■without a change of countenance, without a sound save an occasional grunt of disap pointment or approval without a thought as to food, time or results. He played with an earnest determination and grim reckless ness that usually won and always excited a suspicion among the Indians that the Black Giant was bewitched. So deeply had this suspicion taken root that no Indian would play with him alone. The presence of white men seemed to remove their fear, and when the Ethiopian lost under such cir cumstances it was due alone to the presence of a Caucasian rival. His persistent winning has won for him besides a long “string,” eight deep scars. One ot these, a bright red mark that stands out with grotesque ugliness against his black skin, extends from his right temple to the corner of his mouth. This was presented to him by an unsuccessful Cherokee Indian about three years ago. Another gash, re ceived at the hands of an infuriated white woman in Tahlequah, sliced off half his left ear. This combination of scars gives him a demonical appearance which, added to his tremendous stature, causes the aver age Indian small boy to hide behind his mother's apron or scamper off in the wild est terror. It will be readily seen that Zeigler is neither the beauty nor the pet of liis community. One evening about fourteen months ago four Indians, one white man named Bud Tucker and Jim himself met around the saw-log at Jim’s camp to “go their luck.” The game, as usual, was “hulla-ko-busko”— poker. After the “okahoma” (whisky) jug had been passed around the conventional number of times loungers dropped iu to wit ness the game. Caudles were stuck opposite each man and the game started. Honors were eveniy divided toward the first hour, the Indians having a slight advantage. Then by degrees luck turned Jim’s way. Tow ard mianight his success continued, to tlie evident chagrin of the Indians, who be gan to mutter disappointedly as their strings vanished. Bud Tucker, however, played more earnestly than ever. He never lost hope, but uow and then eyed his brawny competitor with a hatred so keen that the giant drew his next hand with undisguised nervousness, scowling erstwhile so avagely that the Indians became more and more nervous, and finally dropped out about 8 o’clock leaving the giant and Bud facing each other to plav to a finish. As the first streaks of daylight pushed their way between the cracks in the side of the uugout, the scene iuside became one of ter rible earnestness. The two competitors were beginning to show signs of their long ci .ufmeraent. The spectators gazed on with feverish interest, now and then uttering guttaral exclamations of surprise at some exciting point in the game. The candles burned low, leaving long streaks of tallow across the board, while card after card was played between hands trembling from the long and tirele s strain. The Black Giant was stripped to the waist. Huge drops of sweat stood out on his knotted temples. His bloodshot eyes gleamed ’furiously at the board on which he now steadily and surely lost. Tucker, small and wizened, lay prone on the earth, too weak to sit up. Anon he Would pull his long gray moustache, drink deep draughts of okahoma, smiling meanwhile at the disgust of his gigantic antagonist as successive pots fell under the flap of his bearskin saddle-bags. Zeigler, enormous in stature and ferocious in despair, could have reached across the log and killed his small competitor with one blow of his mammoth fist, yet he played on and on. Knowing the tide had set against him, and that he could not save himself from heavy loss, iie awaited an opportunity to stake all t hat was left, and win or lose by headlong desperation. Toward noon about the eiglneenth hour of the game, a very few wrinkles disappeared from the giant’s face ns he glanced over his hand, and a ray of hope gleamed in bis yellow, bloodshot eves as he watched Tucker’s next play. The wrinkles returned with increased malignity when Tucker refused cards and stood pat. Big Jim drew two cards. Betting began. After every chip had been laid on the log t.he excitement of the half-breed spectators found vent in uncontrollable cries of wonder mixed with terror. Many of them instinct ively moved toward the door as though fearing that a lost hand on the giant’s part would result in a general demolition of everything inside the nut. Under the mask of suppressed excitement worn by the two playei-s there raged a tremendous struggle lietween passions of scorn, determination and deadly hatred. Huge knots stood out upon the darkey’s head; perspiration streamed from every pore of his bared neck; his breath came hur riedly and desperately and his hands trembled like leaves. The white man jerked his moustache with increased vigor, und nerved himself into a half-crouching posture, as though ready to spring at his black competitor’s throat. The giant wagered his clothes, his pistols, his Win chester, his horse, and finally his house and outlying claim, yet the gray-beard again smiled and raised him. Without a mo ment’s pause, Zeigler lnssol the startling proposition that his life should back his hand, and that if he lost he would serve his vanquisher faithfully in any capacity he should name. At the announcement of this unprecedented stake a perfect howl of sur prise went up from the onlookers, and be fore it had died away the Black Giant was a slave in the hands of his puny rival. Zeigler held four queens, the white man four aces. With one glance at his oppo nent’s hand Tucker fell in a dead faint, while Zeigler uttered a terrible curse, shud dered from Head to foot, and stalked out of the hut. Prom that day to this he has served Bud Tucker faithfully, and a quasi-friendship has sprung up between master and slave. Jim attends to Tucker’s farm, herds his cattle aud acts as a whole armed posse in ter rorizing the horse thieves of the surround ing oountry, while in compensation he is allowed to visit the village occasionally and enjoy a few days of freedom. He is now serving the third month of his seeoud year, and, in conversation with your correspond ent during his visit to town the other day, he said that from the memorable day on which he lost his life down to the present time ho had neithev touched a card nor wit nessed a poker game.

From the Philadelphia Press New York, Dec. 8. —Marion La Touche, the woman banker, whose peculiar methods have again brought her under Inspector Byrne’s guardianship, was the central figure this morning in the Jefferson Market Police Court. Mrs. Clara Johnson, who claims to be a victim of the woman’s persuasive argu ments to the amount of sloo, was a second figure, and appeared more concerned than did the so-called “female Ferdinand Ward.” Mrs. La Touche is a tall, sharp-featured blonde. Her career during the last seven teen years has been full of variety, and she is well known to the police. She has been four times a wife, her name previous to the present one being Marion L Dow, under whioh her banking operations at her charm ing apartments, 165 West Twenty-third street, were conducted. She has live l in all parts of this country, and in 1875, through necessity was a resident of St John, N. B. Then she came back to New York, settled in Union Square, operated a while and disap peared. When next heard of she was in a Philadelphia prison. Four years ago she re-established herself in this city, opening a broker s office in Thirty-seventh street. Her peculiar work here led her again to prison, from where she was liberated orily eight months ago. It is since then that her swindling adver tisements have appeared, and it is claimed that she has duped confiding women to the extent of many thousand dollars. When she awoke in her ceil at police head quarters this morning, she looked very lit tle like the handsome woman arrested yester day. A night in a cell had not proved beneficial to her appearance. About 9:30 o’clock, witli a detective for a guide, she started for the Jefferson Market Court. On the way the pair stopped at a photograph gallei y, where the banker was photo graphed. She didn’t like the idea, aud screwed her face into all kinds of wrinkles, necessitating a second sitting. This time she was advised to behave herself, ad she did. Then the walk was resumed. In court she seemed as bold and defiant as when ar rested. She walked to Clerk Heimberger’s desk with nonchalance, aud talked glibly' to the detective. Her dress was elegant, though quiet, her costume consisting of a dark walking dress, close-fitting, dark jacket, a pretty little drab, felt bonnet, with a bunch of feathers to match for orna ment, and plum-colored gloves. She refused to talk until she hail seen her lawyer. The latter, Joseph Stiner, was busy with other cases when Madame was being questioned, and she was at a loss what to do. “Is your name Marion L. Dow?” asked the Clerk. “Why, no; of course not.” “What is it?” “I refuse to answer.” “Where do you live?” “I don’t know.” “And your occupation?’ “That is no affair of yours. Where is my lawyer?” “Will you sign this document?” asked the Clerk, handing her a paper containg her answers. “But Dow is not my name,” she added; “of course I won’t.” But she changed her mind in a minute, and signed “Marion L. Dow.” Then she was told to step down. In a short time Justice Gorman was ready to hear testi mony. The complaint chargee that the defandant, by means of advertisements offering re munerative positions to women, had attract ed the attention of tne complainant. During a visit to Mrs. La Touche the latter said to her that for the consideration of S3OO she would give Mrs. Johnson a S3O a week situa tion in connection with the Stock Board. The widow did not have the money, so she offered all she possessed, $l5O. This Mrs. La Touche took,’and Oct 17 engaged her at a salary of $lO per week. The complaint continues that since then only $5 all told have been paid on the contract. In the absence of ex-Senator Thomas F. Grady the hearing was postponed until to morrow and Mrs. La Touche committed to prison in default of $2,500 bail. Mrs. La Touche occupied a suite of rooms at 165 West Twenty-third street. One parlor was used as a reception room, and the other was a purely business office. In it were a telephone and a stock quotation ticker, two revolving desks, complete files of the daily papers and financial bulletins, and a blackboard, on which the current quotations were marked. The landlady said the visitors seemed all to be “first-class people.” Most of them came in carriages, and some came two or three times a day. They never gave their names or sent in cards. Some of Mrs. La Touche’s flowery adver tisements were found m her office. One read: “A fortune in a few months. A splendid opportunity for ladies with a few hundred dollars to iuvast. The advertiser, a lady of long experience in financial matters "and unusual opportunities in Wall street, will act for ladies only. Fifteen to 30 per cent, per month guaranteed. “Mme. La Touche, “165 West Twenty-third Street.” From papers found in her office it was evident that Mrs. La Touche did business with at least a score of brokers down town, aud had from sixty to eighty regular cus tomers. Her investments averaged from S4OO to $1,300 each day. A highly respectable broker placed money in stocks on ' her account and said: “1 never saw any of Mme. La Touche's adver tisements, and I had no idea but that she was doing a perfectly legitimate business. Of course, I did not know that she took the money of these ladies and never paid them when they made a profit on thair invest ments. There is nothing unusual about ladies speculating in stocks. One of the biggest and wealthiest, brokers in town operates for a hundred ladies every day, and has made $3,000,000 out of women’s trade alone. Mmo. La Touche used excel lent judgment in her investments, and was a match for the smartest men in the street. She is a genius in everything connected with money matters, and'could have gained more money in a week by honest and fair dealing tliau in years of questionable trans actions.” An Antique Weapon. From the Sylvania ( da .) Watchman. Mr. R. L. Singellton brought into the Watchman office several days ago, a curious old piece of.what must have been an an cient implement of warfare, which he picked up in front of the court house. It is evi dently the barrel of an old pistol ot the flint and steel kind, and has a muzzle almost large enough for a rat .o crawl into. Tile sight is still on the barrel, and also a little hole in the side through which the powder was ignited. This old weap on has, perhaps, beau lying m rusty and dusty obscurity for many years. Perchance it was dropped by one of Prevost’s British soldiers when they inarched circuitously through Screven to hem iu Gen. Ashs at Brier creek. Perchance some pioneer hunter, as he stood amid the forest’s growth where our court house now stands, snapped and resnapped it) at some playful squirrel that leaped from tree to tree before him, and in disgust threw it to the ground, where it has slept in silence through a century and waked up to find the wilderness gone ond a booming little town in ts stead. Pefchanco some rod man’s hand once firmly grasped it. and fuming its frowning muzzle against the white invndor in defense of his forests Or, perchancer still, it may have been thrown at some fleeing darkey on that memorable election dav ten or twolve yeai-s ago. Anyhow, it looks historic, and could it speak, would doubtless a tale unfold that would frizz.e up the blood and cause each knotted and particular bail- to stand alone like the bristles upon angry swine. There is one thing to lie said for the brass band. It never hangs back and blushes and protests lncompetenoy when it is asked to play. —Burlington r ree Press. A,35c.

He lives close to nature, his only education is gained in nature’s school. When the Indian receives an injury he does not seek a cure in mineral poisons, but binds on the simple leaf, administers the herbal tea, and with nature’s aid comes nat ural recovery. Our rugged ancestors, who pierced the wilderness, built their uncouth but com fortable log cabins and started the clearings in the woods, which m time be came the broad, fertile fields of the modern farmer, found in roots and herbs that lay close at ban l pature’s potent remedies for all their common ailments, It was only in very serious cases they sent for old “saddle bags” with his physic, whioh quite as often killed as cured. Latter day society has wandered too far away from nature, in every way, for its owii good. Our grandfathers and grand mothers lived wholseomor, purer, better, healthier, more natural lives than we do. Their minds were not filled with noxious isms nor their bodies saturated with poison ous drugs. Is it not time to make a change, to return to the simple vegetable preparations of our grandmothers, which contained the power a id potency of nature as remedial agents, and in all the oruinury ailments were effica cious, at least harmless: 1 The proprietors of Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies have thought so, and have put on the market a number of these pure vegeta ble preparations, made from formulas se errea after patient searching into the an nals of the past, to that those who want them need not. be without them. Among these Log Cabin remedies will be found “Log Cabin Sarsaparilla,” for the Rood, “Log Cabin Hops and Buchu Reme dy,” a tome and stomach remedy; “Log Cabin Cough and Consumption Remedy,” "Log Cabin Scalpine,” for strengthening and renewing the hair; “Log Cabiu Ex tract,” for both external and internal appli cation; “Log Cabin Liver Pills;” “Log Cabin Rose Cream,” an old but effective remedy for catarrh, and “Log Cabin Plas ters.” All these remedies are carefully pre pared from recipes which were found, after long investigation, to have been those most successfully used by our grand mothers of “ye olden time. They are the simple, vege table, efficacious remedies of Log Cabin days.
