BUFFALO BILLS START.
Mere Accident Made the Well Known
Scout Snowman.

N'uut Is NhoWhhHs
An old Nebraskan was speaking of
Buffalo Bill recently, and incidentally
he told how he came to engage in the
show business
Cody WAS Tor wears government
scout ON the western plains, said the
Nebraska man, and il was when he
conducted the buffalo DISCRIMINATING eN-
petition for the entertainment of the
Grand Duke Alexis i'll 1s10-I think it
was-that he got his name. Cody at
that time distinguished himself by the
number Of huffaloes he killed. and there
by earned his cognomen, which WAS
given him by the duke. While he was
well known as n scout, he would prob.
ably have never been widely known rs
Snowman exception an accident.
1t was in 1881 that the people of
North Platte, Net., near which town
was Cody ranch, decided to celebrate
the Fourth of July, and at the sugges-
ton of John Keith, who il wealthy
ranchman ut sutherland and North
Platte and formerly claim adiuster of
the Union Pacific, they selected wild
west show Cody was one of the men
most prominently interested in the
scheme, and 10 him wns left the work
of securing the COWBOYS and Indians to
help ont the show In North Platte ut
the time was IN old stagccoaeh owned
by Jim Stephenson of Omaha. who was
the proprietor of the DeadWood Sidney
and other western stage lines. At the
suggestion of Cody the Indians were to
attack the coach and be repulsed by the
cowboys and soldiers
THAT Fourth was the hottest crlc
bration of American independence ever
seen III Nebraska. The Omaha papers
had men to cover il, and it attracted a
crowd from all parts of the west The
programme which Cody and Keith ar
ranged included riding wild horses,
shooting, rope throwing and all the 9th
er amusemontS and business proceedings
of western man.
ut was few days after the enter.
tainmcnt, if such il may be called, that
Matt kieth, no relation of John, hut AN
old time western man, told Cody that it
was u big thing and ought to be repeat
ed every Fourth of July. Cody at once
said that II was something new in
American entertainments, and he be
lievcd that by taking the aggregation
east he could make money. The matter
was discussed in North Platte, and
finally Cody said that he would adj
vance the money and start out. He did
SO, and his success is well known.
when he first started he had but
small show, but be has added to it. He
got with him Major Burke, Shcrm Can

THE KITTEN AND THE BEAR.
How Puss Frightened BruIn Up Tree
and Kept Him There.

Chris Burns, the veteran first sergeant
of Troop d, had kitten which, during
the summer camping of the troop at the
Lower GeySer basin, made her home
within the sergeant 5 tent Here, curled
up on pair of army blankets, she de.
fed the world i'll general and dogs i'll
particular, When the latter approached,
She would elevate every bristle on her
brave little back her ewes would glow
like live Goals, and her tail would swell
up thrcateningly If dogs approached
too near, she would hiss and exhibit the
usual signs of hostility until tho III.

One day, when the camp was bathed

felt lazy an inquistive black bear came
down the mountain side and. whether
because he was i'll search of adventure
or because attracted by savory smell
from the cooks fire, began to walk
about among the white tents of the cav.

seen But She did not hesitate. Ii was
enough fer her that an enemy had in
Naded her special domain Kissing forth
her spite, while her little body quivered
with rage, She darted forth at the bear.
The onslaught WIS sudden, and ono

The soldiers. who meanwhile had
poured forth from their tents, could
scarcely believe their eyes; but there
was the bear i'll the tree and the kitten

seen the affair from beginning to end

A NIGHT SONG.

Under the white moon, Nita,
The lilies lie awake,
And red rs blood in flower and bud.
And all for your sweet sake,
The eager rose o'erleaps the close
And climbs the columned wall
To hide his face In the drifts Of lace
That over your lattice fall.
The dead sweet seen; OF the woodhine
Some languid breeze hath stirred,
And out of the dark dew haunted park
Floats the pipe of Il restless bird.
And far and faint the gurgle and plant
OF the wood brook sounds alone
As listen and pine for some answering
sign
Some whisper of thine, my own!
lie with the lilies, Mia.
Under thy lattice bars.
And the infinite night hrims over
With the glory of moon and stars.
And the wooing woodbine's passionate spice
Out of the darkness blows
And faints and dies with the mingled signs
OF pcrfumed lily and rose
Yot rest thee, my beloved. since
No prayer Of mine may win
The crystal walls of slumber
That shut thee suftly In.
But, oh, that the mystic angel
Who kcepcth the pearly key
or sleep would open SOME door OF dreams
And lead thee, sweet, TO mel
