Germnns of Buffalo.

civilized man to settle on the present
site of Buffalo was German. VI Few
Northern cities can il be affirmed, as OF
this. that the Teutonic element con-
stitutes nearly one-half the entire popu-
Iation. The Germans of Buffalo nave
their own press, literary and musical
associations, churches, theatres, and, It
is unnecessary to add, beer gardens,
while in public spirit they have III one
notable instance shown themselves
ahead of the Americans. Not only are
German names frequent on the business
signs of the American quarter, Dull the
Germans have their own long business
street running diagonaily out through
..Cermantown," and the German popu-
Iation has been represented frequently
in CITY. county, and State officers.
Artists In search of models and au-
tbors making character studies viii
find few fields richer IN local color than
the German quarter of Buffalo and her
two large markets. These markets are
distinctive, and help TO make living
cheap. Each market occupies block,
and at the stalls everything, from
crockery, yarn, buttons, and SHINING
tins. to the finest cuts of beef, poultry,
fish. and green truck OF all kinds, Il

the following thrilling incident: When the
train stopped at Medora, Montana, the

Theodore Roosevelt, some ten or a dozen
cowboys, mounted on their typical horses
of the plains, were cutting all kinds ofcapers
and giving a sort Of free show, for the edit
cation and amusement OF the citizens and
passengers. They were putting the horses
through reckless eyolutions and maneuvers
giving an exhibition of equcstrianism that
astonishcd the tenderfeet on board the
train The boys had Just come in from a
roundup, and were flush with money and
considerably flushed with Dakota tangle-

Little Missoury river at this point, is at
least 100 feet above the surface of the
water. To enable fOotmen to cross a
narrow plank walk-not more than
two feet wide-is laid along on the ties,
from shore to shore, in the center of the
bridge. 1t requires steady nerve for man

if they were racing across the prairie after
an obstreperous bovine.
The spectators were thrilled with horror
and expected TO see the two daring men
dashed to death at every jump the horses
made. The riders yelled vocilerously, and
rode with the same easy confidence they
always display when at home upon the
plains.
