Struck the Right Man.

During visit to Massachusetts
DISTINGUISHED author was invited by
friend to meeting Of an agricultural
society, then holding its annual session
in the town.
The invitation was accepted, and au-
thor and friend took seats near the door.
Nearly every farmer in the house had
something to say. Finally the president
pointing toward the author, said:
"Everybody's given us a talk TO-
night, except the farmer down there by
the door, mean the brother with the
hazel beard, the boots and the slouch
hat. can tell by his looks that he's
farmer, and nothing but farmer, ano
/ call upon him to take the floor ano

The man referred to was Hamiir
Garland, but he was equal to the occa
sion, and rising he said:

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

Mere Accident Made the Well Known
Scout Snowman.
An old Nebraskan was speaking OF
Buffalo Bill recently, and incidentally
he told how he came to engage in the
show business
"Cody was for years a government
scout on the western plains" said the
Nebraska man, land it was when he
conducted the buffalo DISCRIMINATING ex-
petition for the entertainment OF the
Grand Duke Alexis in 1871 think it
was-that he got his name. Cody at
that time distinguished himself by the
number of buffaloes he killed, and there
by earned his cognomen, which was
given him by the duke. While he was
we'll known as a scout, he would prob
Fably iriye never been widely known as
a Snowman except for I'm accident.
"It was in 1881 that the people OF
North Platte, Neb., near which town
was Cody's ranch, decided to celebrate
the Fourth of July, and at the sugges-
ton of John Keith, who is wealthy
ranchman at Sutherland and North
Platte and formerly claim adjuster OF
the Union Pacific, they selected wild
west show. Cody was one of the men
most prominently interested in the
scheme, and to him was left the work
Of securing the cowboys and Indians to
| help out the show. In North Platte at
the time was an old stagecoach 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 tc
attack the coach and be repulsed by the
cowboys and soldiers.
"That Fourth was the hottest cele
bration of American independence evel
seen in Nebraska. The Omaha papers
had men to cover it, and it attracted
crowd from all parts of the west. Th'
programme which Cody and Keith ar
ranged included riding wild horses
shooting, rope throwing and all the 9th
er amusements and business proceeding
Of western man.
s'It was a few days after the enter
tainment, if such it may be called, tina
Matt Keith, no relation of John, but a
old time western man, told Cody that
was big thing and ought to be repeat
ed every Fourth of July. Cody at ono
said that it was something new

A NIGHT SONG.

Under the white moon, Nita.
The lilies lie awake,
And red as blood in flower and bud.
And all for your sweet sake,
The eager rose o'erleaps the close
And climbs the columped wall
To hide his face in the drifts OF Lace
That over your lattice fall.
The dead sweet scent Of the woodbine
Some languid breeze hath stirred,
And out OF the dark, dew haunted park
Floats the pipe of a 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 ownl
I lie with the lilies. Nita,
Under thy lattice bars,
And the infinite night brims over
With tho glory of moon and stars,
And the wooing woodbine's passionate spice
Out Of the darkness blows
And faints and dies with the mingled sighs
OF perfumed lily and rose.
Yet rest thee, my beloved. since
No prayer OF mine may win
Tho crystal walls of slumber
That shut thee softly in.
But, oh, that the mystic angel
Who keepeth the pearly key
OF sleep would open some door OF dreams
And lead thee, sweet, TO mel

II seems as though the garments for
outdoor wear this winter are richer
than any ever before designed. The most
widespread fancy is for the winter
blouses. and these are made of the most
unexpected materials. Thick melton.
kersey. cloth, velvet and even fur are all
used in these garments that nothing can
ever make beautiful from the utter lack
of form. The baggier and more shape
less they are the better The general
plan seems to be to make the waist look
long and thin. The fashionable blouse
succeeds in its mission.
The long coat wraps are everything
they could be in grace of outline, de-
sign and the richness of material, 1t is
not uncommon to find regular redin'
cote made of fur from top to bottom.
Moire astrakhan in deep lustrous black
is often employed to make the whole
| garment This is then supplemented
with deep cape collar of stone marten
| and sometimes even with sable. The
cape collar is usually made detachable.
