Fighting Temper OF American Navy.
London Spectator: The United States
Service magazine for September contains
ing the fighting temper Of the American
sailor. The keynote Of Admiral Dewey's
character is eound in his battle signal,
scribcd as Of the quiet. deadly order, the
we'll bred gentleman fighter who looks
upon the excitement and enthusiasm Of
others with an amused SMILE and kills
his man or destroys his fleet with kid
gloves on his hands and his glass in his
eye. Commodore Schley, on the other
hand, Is brilliant, dashing sailor, with
little regard for red-tape or etiquette,
OF this type, also, is Capt Robley Evans,
who is credited with saying that "a Span
ish gunner could hit nothing but the
ocean, and only that because 1t was the
biggest thing on earth" He is also al
legged to have introduced the German en-
peror to the American cocktail at Kiel.
OF all the acts of heroism recorded in the
article, none is more striking than that
of Ensign ellis. who swan out to meet
q stray torpedo that was coming straight

A Tale of Buffalo Bill In His Youthful
Days.

Buffalo Bill tells pleasant tale of
jumping on his favorite horse, "Brigh-
pm," and riding out of camp at the alarm
of herd of buffalo. 1t was at time
when he and his comrades were short OF
meat, and consequently longing for
Buffalo steak. He says:
While was riding toward the buffa-
loes, saw.fve horsemen from the fort,
who were evidently going out for chase.
, They proved to be newly arrived officers,
q captain and his lieutenants.
"Hello, my friend'' sang out the cap.
tain, 81 see you are..after. the same game
that we ares
''Yes. SIR" said I.
They scanned my cheap outfit very
closely, and as my horse looked like a
work horse, [and had on only blind
bride, they evidently considered me a
green hand at hunting.
"Do you expect to catch thos buffaloes
on that Gothic steed?' laughed the cap
tain.
81 hope SO, by pushing hard enough on
the reins," was my reply.
you'll never catch them in the world,
my fine fellow said he. SIT takes a
fast horse to do that
"Does it?" asked I, as if I didn't know.
''Yes, but come along with us. for we
are going to kill them more for pleasure
than anything else. All we want [are the
tongues and piece of tenderloin, and
you may have all that is left''
.'Much obliged to you, captaiu," said I.
'I'll follow you"
There were IL buffaloes in the herd,
and they weresnot more than a mile
ahead. saw they were making toward
the creek for water, and I started up that
way to head them off, while the officers
came up in the rear, and gave chase. The
animals came rushing past me, not a
hundred yards distant, with the officers
800 yards in the rear.
pulled the blind bride off my horse
and he, trained hunter, knew exactly
what to do. He started at the top of his
speed, and brought me alongside the rear
buffalo. 1 raised my gun, fired, and
killed the animal at the first shot. MY
horse then carried me alongside the next
one, and I dropped himsat the next fire.
Thus killed the II buffaIoes with l2
shots, and as the last animal dropped, my
horse stopped. Remember I had been
riding him without bride, reins or sad
die; but jumped to the ground, know
ished officers were just riding up.
"Now. gentlemen" said J.. "Allow me
20 present you with all the tongues and
lenderloins you want"
"Well," said the captain, "I never saw
the like before. Who under the sun are
you, anyhow"
"My name is Cody"

but he knows Aew to use them"

Nothing Beneath the sky Is Unworthy
 of the Arti-t's Attention.
 The exterior decoration of the build ings 1t the Trans Mississippi and ln ternational Exposition, to be held in Omaha, promises to be both unique and attractive. While the individual buildings will show in their decora tions some approach to modern ideas, the statues Alorning the grounds will be exact copies ot the famous figures of antique ant. The stately figure of the Venus de Medici, an Apollo or Faun, will tighten the grounds with their classic neauty and this delightful mode of reproducing the antique will prove not only the most beautiful that can be conceived but, as well, the most in- structive. With tine natural advantages III lanlscape gardening that are pos sessed by the grounds, the lake, the sloping bluff tract. with the river so many feet hcncath-the emerald turf and the supelabunlance of natures fairest tlowers-all these, together with the imposing bits of statuary that will dot the grounds, should make it yer itable garden of the gods,
 The primary theory that will be demonstrated ill the decoration of each building is that the statuary, the relief and decorative work generally will be symboical oi the exhibits contained therein. Nothing beneath the sky is unworthy of the artists attention. Beauty is everywhere, in everything, if our genius but lead us to seek for it.
 Perhaps the most unusual of all the designs in decorating to be seen is that which adorns the electricity huilding. The general architectural plan of this structure is one of classic simplicity, though the decoration shows happy blending of modern ideas. All the cresting, scroll work, ornaments and spaudrels are suggestive of machinery and the science of electricity. Clever designs in cog wheels are seen about the cornices and an heroic figure piece of Man Controlling the Forces of Ma
  trance. The first group shows "the struggle, and an immense American lion Is seen tiercely wrestling with two female figures of colossal size. The second group shows "the victory" the upright figure of man, triumphant, one foot resting on the prone figure of the defeated enemy, while the third and ,,,I .l central position immediately over the entrance-typified "The Supremacy of Man"-for here in an immense chariot is the triumphant victor, driv- Ing with reins drawn taut, his now docile and obedient steeds-five great lions. The figures are all full of srength and life and promise to form fitting adornment for beautiful build ing.
 The decorations which will enhance the agricultural building are not less attractive. This great building is, in It's immensity fit garner house for this, the granary of the world. It is finished in ivory. but garlands of flowers and festoons of cereals are thrown into bold relief by being finished in their natural hues. Medallion ornamnts of barnyard fowls are placed at intervals, while larger medallions of our nations representative bird-the eagle-will also appear in connection with the or namentation. On either side of the great main entrance are figures taken from Millets famous paintings, the Digger" and the "Sower." Immedi-
