Grant, is the same hand some, dashing, debonair Buffalo Bill as of yore A little more aged, perhaps, and a trifle more gray, but still retain ing that striking individuality and air of distingue that mark him as man among men. His Wild West show, which has given performances through out the United States and in all the capitals of Europe, including the h. dians, scouts and horses, is now in winter quarters at Chicago and will shortly go into training for the Worlds Fair Cody says he has made mint of money out of his show and expects to make few dollars more before he gets tHTougn Nltn lI.

They anticipate doing wonders in the way of discovery and killing game. They are armed with the latest and most improved weapons, the whole making an arsenal that would turn South American republic green with envy. ~-~---
