who shone with such rainbow-like ef-
feet In the Buffalo Bill aggregation OF
Wild Westers. Is going to Cuba to fight
for the Independence OF that little
island. Buck Is hired warrior and
will. 1t is said, take 100 men with him to
help the excitement along.
Mr.. Taylor has not done any fighting
heretofore that we have heard Of. but
with Suspcnder Jack, Cyclone Mike.
Cactus Soup Sam and other picturesque
border equestrlans he has shown us how
easy it is for a long-vertebraed horse
man to pick a hat from the ground
while his steed In running like CREASED
lightning, and with what delightful ac-
curacy lasso may be thrown 80 as to
tie itself in a sailor knot around the
hind hoof Of a COW.
Now. IL Buck Taylor will only lasso
Gen. Martinez Campos and lean over
from his saddle and scoop UP one or
two wings of the Spanish army as he
whsks by on his trusty bronco Cuban
independence will not only be sure. but II
will be secured in such pictorial and
original way that 1t will make 1t an
entertaining memory.

TA1LoRS FITS AND MEMS FIGURES,

local merchant has been sued by a
London tailor for bill for clothing
The merchants defense is that the
clothes did not satisfy him and his law
yer In explaining the situation tc the
Judge said: "If Your Honor could but
see my client you would understand
that he is a walking advertisement for
any tailor and the best built man you
ever saw"
Perhaps the merchant Is all, in a
shapely way. that his lawyer represents
him to-be. but that is hardly any excuse
Tor his not paying his tailor's bills.
Taiiors are supposed to make clothes to
mt all their customers, the magnificent
figured and the ill-shapen as well, and If
the man OF resplendent physique hopes
to escape payment of the price of a
suit by giving 1t eclat on his person.
why shouldn't the man whose clothes
don't fit him dodge his sartorial obliga-
tions by representing that he. many a
