companions from massacre, made him
famous, and .chronicIers have never
Wearied of writing about him from that
day to this.
He is still under fifty, and IL his
hair is touched by frost, it is the re-
suit Of commencing very young, and
enduring excessive hardships.
The world knows him as pony ex-
press rider, freighter, stage-driver.
trapper, hunter, soldier, scout, mar
shal, justice Of the peace, legislator,
and educator-for his congress of
rough riders was organized originally
by Col. Cody with the laudable intent
to enlighten the world in regard to the
then unknown empire of the west-but
much that would prove interesting re-
mains to be written regarding that per-
lod Of his life which was the brightest
to him, before his mother died, while
he was acting as the sole protector of
tiers. That fond mother was wont to
predict that her son would one day
| be the president Of the United Staes.
Could she have lived she would have
had the qualification Of seeing him de-
clire nomination to the United States
senate, and to have read in a hundred
western journals proposal to run him
for the highest Office in the land. II
that heroic mother had lived, all this
might have interested him. for her
sake; but politics never seemed to have
any charm for him.
In the language of the marts, he has
made oceans OF money. and he has ex-
pended millions of his wealth trying
to develop his beloved west.
The present season his vast ranches
in Nebraska, on the North Platte and
on the Dismal river will yield an i'm
mense harvest, and his big irrigation
scheme in the Big Horn basin, in
Wyoming, whereby he is retaining
and coloniZing hundreds of thousands
of acres of valuable land, will have q
boom.
In the year 1900 Buffalo Bill will
again take his educational exhibition
to Paris, where he was immortaliZed
in bronze and in oil and where his show
rivalled the Eifel tower as an attrac-
ton at the last exposition.

TOLD ABOUT BUFFALO BILL.

Attempts have been made 20 prove
that Robert Fulton did not discover
the power Of steam, that Morse was not
the inventor Of telegraphy, that the
telephone did not originate with EdI-
son, that Shakespeare's plays were writ
ten by Francis Bacon, and hat Buffalo
Bill isn't Buffalo Bill. The last named
attempt was the maddest of all. IL
there ever was man called Buffalo
Bill, he was not known through the
west when that title was conferred
upon w. F. Cody, and to this day he
has never come to the front to assert
his claim.
There is but one Buffalo Bill. And he
is the most widely known American to-
day, living or dead. The quantity of
prose and poetry, history and fiction.
that has been printed about him in
books, magazines and newspapers, IL
measured up, would undoubtedly ex-
coed the printed matter published con-
corning any historical character. with
possibly the solitary exception of Ma
poleon Bonaparte.
In his poem Columbia to Buffalo
Bill" Hugh Wetmore, the western
poet, mentions the fact that on his
European tour Buffalo Bill received
homage from countries that bowed
not to Bonaparte's say" meaning, of
course, the British Kingdom particu-
larly.
Buffalo Bill was honored by the ma
lions of Europe but the queen OF Eng
land tried hard to Guido all the other
crowned heads by the attention which
she showed the distinguished Ameri-
can. Her majesty showered diamonds
upon him, and it is said that the queen
found but one fault with the recent
jubilee celebration, and that was on
account Of the absence of the celebrated
scout.
One Of the questions which has
caused many a dispute is Buffalo Bills
age. One frequently overhears the as
sertion made that this knight Of the
plains has been before the public for
sixty years. There is no excuse for
this mistake. He was born in 1S4S, and
at the age of ten years, in 1858, shot
his first Indian. This heroic act, which
helped materially to save himself and

HIP DISEASE.

Hip disease is one Of the most com
mon causes of lameness in children.
This is not only because ii occurs per-
haps more frequently than disease OF
any other joint, but also because 1t be-
gins so insidiousIy that the early
stages, when treatment might accom-
plish most, are often passed before the
trouble is recognized
The first sign is usually a slight limp,
which comes and goes for no apparent
reason; there is no pain, and as the
child can give no excuse for limping,
he is perhaps reproved for what is re-
Earded as merely a bad habit There
Is a little stiffness after sitting, and es-
socially in the morning on getting out
Of bed, but this passes away with exer-
else. It may disappear for days at a
time, and then return in rather more
pronounced form.
The child seems instinctively to avoid
a shock to the hip by stepping on the
tips Of his toes. but when told to put
his heel to the ground he does SO
without trouble. After a while q lit
tie pain begins to be felt, and this, like
the limp, may be intermittent at first;
it seems too slight to have any serious
significance. and the parents often
speak OF It as a growing pain" At
first the child hardly knows where the
pain is. it is so indefinite. but soon
it becomes more marked and Is re-
ferred to the knee.
The limp and the pain are so slight
and. so ineonstant that no alarm is
felt, and 50 the opportunity OF throt-
Ting the disease in its infancy Is often
lost, and the more striking symptoms
