Poker Jim and The Story of a Famous Game

Perhaps there is no other man or

wilder Indians as does Poker Jim

with preserving the old pastimes OF
the tribes.
Poker Jim is an old Indian now
though his body is still strong. For
some years ne has been almost totally
blind but the loss of sight did not af-
feet his prestige among his people.
His real, tribal name is sap-at-klo-

Burke, but as Poker Jim he has been
known for many years His white
brethren bestowed that name upon
him In the days when gambling flour
ished in these parts. because OF his
adeBtness at the great American
gambling game, poker
The Indian Is a natural gambler but
most Of them confine their activities
in this line to horseracing and their
native games. Not so Poker Jim. The
pasteboards and the celluloid chips Of
the white man had fascination for
him and he learned the rudiments OF
the game when a young man He
also soon learned all Of the tricks Of
the sharpster. His Indian nature
gave him a good gambling face and
he soon became known far and wide
for his ability to win from the white
gamblers
Poker Jim cannot play his favorite
game any more, because sight has
been taken from him. But more than
any other one Indian he has fought
the efforts of Christian Indians and
whitemen to stop the wild celebrations
with which he and his kind are wont
to hold once year He has encour'
