left then went for his pocketbook
again. and tossing ii into the center
simply remarked 81 900 better. The
next man saw the raise and went II
$500 more. The third man threw his
pocketbook into the middle of the table
to make good. and the three looked at
Zig Foot inquiringly.
Big Foot was equal to the occasion.
He was convinced that he had the top
hand. and he proposed to play 1t for all
il was worth. Quickly slipping OF one
OF his immense shoes he threw II into

The other players sized up the shoe,
and then. breaking into hearty laugh
laid down their hands. Big Foot raked

the strangers then opened their pocket
books and counted out the amounts for
which their leather stood.

$1,000 on a poker hand by betting one

No? Well. then. I will tell you.
Back in the COS Big Foot Bunch
was the most famous poker player that
ever struck Leavenworth. In those
days the old town was an Quitting
point and was on the boom. Bunch s
one striking characteristic was the size
of his feet. and that Is how he got his
name No other man OF modern times
ever carried such a pair OF feet. They

bets without putting his money in front

was satisfied and the game proceeded.
In those days the old fashioned leath

THE MYSTERIOUS WHITE DEATH

OF all the natural phenomena pecu'

mysterious storm known to the Indians
as the white death" Scientific men

most unexpected times and may keep

Well read men who have been through
it say that il is really frozen fog.
But where the fog comes from is more
than any one can say. This phenom-
enon occurs most frequently in the
northern part of Colorado. in Wyoming
and occasionally in Montana.
About two years ago a party of three
women and two men were crossing
North Park in a wagon in the month of
February. The air was bitterly cold.
but dry as bone and motionless. The
sun shone with almost starting bril-
linacy. AS the five people drove along
over the crisp snow they did not ex-
perience the least cold but really felt
most comfortable. and rather enjoyed
the trip. Mountain peaks fifty miles
away could be seen as distinctly as
the pine tree by the roadside.
Suddenly one of the women put her
hand up to her face and remarked that
something had stung her. The other
members of the party did the same
thing, although not a sign of an insect
could be seem A moment later they
noticed that the distant mountains
were disappearing behind a cloud of
mist. Mist in Colorado in February?
Surely there must be some mistake.
because within ten minutes a gentle
wind began to blow and the air be-
came filled with fine particles of some
thing that scintillated like diamond
dust in the Sunshine. Still the people
drove on until they came to cabin
where a man signalled them to stop.
With his head tied up in a bundle of
muffiers he rushed out and handed the
driver piece of paper on which was
written: Come into the house quick
or this storm will kill all of you. Don't
talk outside here"
Of course. no time was lost in get
ting under cover and putting the
horses in the stables. But they were a
little late. for in less than an hour the
whole party was sick with violent
coughs and fever. Before teh next

Expansion in Northern wisconsin

The wise poor man who bought
q farm on easy payments. or the
wise manufacturers who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin few
years ago. when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaping their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truest sense of the word. Op-
portunities have not passed by any
meaus. There are still thousands of
acres OF rich hardwood tim Der lands
awaiting the settler as well as the
manufacturer, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are Increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaolip,
maral and timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.
Transportation facilities are un-
ezcelled. The wisconsin Centeral
Ry, a strictly Badger State Road,
pierces the rich northern portion of
the state, offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world.
