•'WILDCAT" SMITH'S THRILLING GAME OF SEVEN UP.
The Doughty Pioneer Beat Hla Comanche Captor, Bis Laugh, at the Game and Then RUked Ills Lite
Again to Save a White Girl Captive,
Old "Wildcat" Smith is jnst about I the last living one of that famous band of pioneers who drove the Indians to the mountains, killed the panthers and bears, and blazed the tracks through the trackless wilderness. He does not look like a lawyer, bat he has, nevertheless, sat upon a camp stool and decided cases of the greatest importance He do^s not bear any very marked resemblance to a general, but he haB commanded a considerable force in battle, and. while military critics might have complained that he was deflcfenr In •trategic ability none ever charged Wm with lack of valor. Few people jpguld discoyfr jn his face or manner any of thqi| traits 'that distinguish a li?F, bntlie has demonstrated that them "all In "an eminentjflegfee By ordering "pistols and coffee for two'' jggrgjjii&n once^ Upon riSnhenad tbe'Suaacity to In

president of the repnoncT t6""cqtfieoat and exchanfa shots" wi$h him. ile aaya that the old warrior "fljjoied" him by 'coolly making a note on a slip of paper trad putting it in his desk. In answer to the enraged challenger's inquiry the general simply said: "Mr. Smith, yon are the fortieth. When I have killed these other 89 scoundrels who have challenged me, I will accommodate yon. Be patient, sir."
Smith came to Texas in 1836 and served in the Texas army through all the long wars with Mexico. He was also a soldier in the great civil war, and whep that ended he enlisted to fight Indians Jind remained on the border until trare were no more Comanches to shoot. He has been a man of war from his youth up, and in his old age he carries a soldier's musket with a fixed bayonet, and continues to make war on all kinds of game and "varmints." He wanted to go to Cuba, and when the boys insisted that he was too old and feeble he threw off his coat and challenged the whole company to fight him.
Upon one occasion Smith was captured by a roving band of Comanches, many of whom were well known to him. They frankly told him that they intended to make him run the gantlet and burn him at the stake when they reached their village on Devil river. The captive had a flask of whisky, which the chief took away from him. After taking several drinks the old warrior asked Smith if he could play seven up. Smith proudly boasted that he could beat any man living playing that particular game. This answer appeared to put the Indian on his mettle, and he at once proposed that they should halt by the side of th6 warpath and play for the highest stakes that mortal man ever waged on a game of chance—life.
Smith eagerly agreed to the proposal, and they sat down nnder a tree and dealt the cards on a blanket The other warriors dismounted and anxiously watched the game. The chief's name was Big Laugh, so called on account of a natural grin that marked his features. After a short time they stood 6 to 6, and it was Smith's deal. He xan the cards off and turned a jack from the bottom. Smith had won his liberty, and Big Laugh told him he might go, but the Texan had something else 4n view. He might easily have walked away, but he determined upon another act which marks him as a generous soul possessed of the highest courage. Tliere was a young white girl tied on one of the ponies, who was weeping in the most piteous agony.
Smith coolly proposed to play another game, Btaking his life against the liberty of this young girL Big Laugh was evidently pleased with the white man's courage, and after taking another drink he began to shuffle the cards. The young girl was cut loose from the pony and made to stand on the blanket, while the thongs for binding Smith, in case he lost, were thrown at her feet Again they played a close game, and at the end of a short time stood 6 and 6, but it was Big Laugh's deal. With what awful interest that poor girl must have watched the turning of that trump 1 The Indian slowly dealt the cards, and, peeping at the trump, a Jrideous grin spread all over his face. "I was sure that all was lost and was just* in the act of springing at his throat."

Smith, "when he turned
the queen of hearts for a trump. He could not give me, of course, and I held both the ace and deuce of hearts."
Big Laugh was by this time hilariously drunk and in a most excellent good humor. He not only kept his. word and gave Smith and the young girl their liberty, but he furnished them two ponies and allowed Smith to take his gun. The liberated captives reached the settlement in safety, where Smith's atrange story would never hafe been credited had not' the young girl borne witness that it was true. She is still living on a fin# plantation on the Brazos and ia the widow of no less a personage than Colonel Sam Jones, who was killed at the battle of Shiloh.

Traverse City, Petoskey and Mackinac
Are the three principle objective points of the simmer travel to Michigan, and in a certain sense their names sigDify the divisions into which Michigan resorts are naturally divided. The Grand Traverse Bay resorts, Omena, Neathawanta, Traverse Beach, Ed^ewoop, etc., are all reached by boat or drive from Traverse City. Bay View, Harbor Point, Harbor Springs, Wequetonsing and Roaring Brook are the handsome resorts of Little Traverse Bay, which are connected with Petoskey by Suburban train service, while Mackinac Island is a summer principality of itself. The Grand Itapids & Indiana Railway takes you to these poins on their direct line, with fast vestibuled trains carrying through sleeping cars from St. Louie, Chicago, Cincinnati, Louisville and Indianapolis. Dining car service between Grand Rapids and Mackinaw City.

The Burlington railroad is experl111 nticg with acetylene gan. Fixtures tor its use have been placed in the dining car "Lincoln," and the new light will be given a thorough trial. It is claimed that it is brighter than common gas and not so hard on the eyes electricity.
Another innovation in Burlington dining cars is the installation of electric fans to cool the traveler while he eats, adding greatly to the comfort of a summer trip. Vr
A characteristic feature of the equipment of western railroads is the "chair car (seats free)." These cars add m«te-. rially to one's comfort in traveling, particularly those of the most modern pattern, such as have recently been placed on the Burlington railroad. They are fitted with the most comfortable sort of reclining chairs, toilet rooms, wash basins and a smoking compartment. Each car is in charge of a uniformed colored porter and the whole effect is very attractive. Eastern managers have something to learn from this. -r
