by Col Cody with the laudable intent
to enlighten the world in regard TO the

much that would prove interesting re-
mains TO be written regarding that per-
iod of his life which was the brightest
to him, before his mother died, while
he was acting as the sole protector OF
his widowed mother and his baby sis
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-
cline 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. l.
that heroic mother had lived. all this
might have interested him. fer 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

TOLD ABOUT BUFFALO BILL.

Attempts have been made to prove
that Robert Fulton did not discover
the power OF steam. that Morse was not
she inventor Of telegraphy. that the
telephone did not originate with Edi-
son,that Shakespeare's plays were writ
ten by Francis Bacon. and that Buffalo
Bill isn't Buffalo Bill The last named
attempt was the maddest of all. If
there ever was a 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 10 assert
his claim.
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 sway" meaning, of
course, the British Singdom partieu-
larry.
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 dispute is Buffalo Bits
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 it occurs per-
haps more frequently than disease Of
any other joint, but also because 1t be-
gins so insidiously that the early
stages, when treatment might accom-
piish most, are often passed before the
trouble is recognized.
The first sign Is usually slight limp
which comes and goes for no apparent
reason: there Is no pain, and as the
child can give no excuse for limping.
ne IS perhaps reproved for what is re-
garded as merely bad habit. There
is little stiffness after sitting, and es-
pecially 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 instinctiYely to avoid
a shock to the hip by stepping on the
tips Of his toes. but when told to mt

tie pain begins to be felt, and this. like
the limp. may be intermittent at frat
1t seems too slight to have any serious
significance. and the parents often
speak Of It as growing pain" AT
hrst the child hardly knows where the
pain Is. 1t 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 inconstant that no alarm Is
felt. and 80 the opportunity of throt-
thing the disease in it's infancy is often
lost. and the more striking symptoms
OF the second stage set in before a ply
