artists, as does also the Berlin opera
house. Unfortunately this masterpiece
was the indirect cause CT its conpos-
ers sickness and death. On Whit
Monday "Fiedsrmaus" was played at
the opera. and Strauss was persuaded
10 conduct the overture himself, as ths
representation was for charitable pur-
poses. Doctors had forbidden him to
undergo any fatigue, az he suffered
from chronic affection OF the bronchial
tubes. The master was always excited
while conducting, and had been egpe-
c!aly warned against any sudden
change in temperature. He left ths
cpera IN heated state, took cold and
felt III on returning home. Although
astonishment filled the opera houee at!

Strauss. who was "A years old, and the
vigor with which be handled his baton,

how little fitted his nerves were any

WESTON AND THE BuFFAEo,
rhe Brave Soldier Mounted His Adversary
and Dispatched Him.

| Since the advent of General John
F. Weston into the Office of Commls-
sary General there Las been evident
safisfaetfen amosGthe ss5ordinates
and employee r the CommissaFy Gen
erals Department. He is loved by
everybody. General Weston's army
career has been eventful and interest
ingly full of exciting incidents, OF
which the following instance is perhaps
as striking as any. It was told by an
officer at the Army and Navy Club a
day OF two age:
There was in the army no more
rechlessly daring subaltern than was
General Weston in his young days.
In 1868, when a lieutenant, he met
with General Sheridan on an eypeai-
ton against the Cheyennes.
Zone evening, after going into
camp. e small herd CT buffalo was
sighted. The lieutenant had thrown
of his saddle and put aside his arms.
He caught up his belt: in which were
revolver and knife, and leaped upon
his bareback horse. After a race he
caught up with a huge bull and
emptied his revolver into his side.
The bull faced MIN. Weston was
several miles from camp and had no
more cartridges.
"Determined not to be laughed at,
he dismounted and drew his knife.
He walked to one side Of the bull and
the animal turned. He began to run,
but the bull kept his lowered head al
ways toward him. He kept stopping
and turning uatil the sweat poured
from him. At last lie managed to get
behind the bull and with leap landed
upon his back.
The buffalo, with snort Of terror,
dashed forward in a mad, numbering
gaiIop. The soldier worked his way
onto the brute's shoulders, fastened
lis fingers in the name and began to
hack away at the throat OF the terror
stricken buffalo. It took time, but
finally the knife went through the hair
and hide.
The brute gave a Wheeling, roar
ing cough and fell forward, plunging
its nose into the earth and throwing
the rider fifteen feet in front. Wes-
ton was bruised and stunned, but
the brute was beyond doing him any
harm.
"In his early youth Weston was for
short time au iron molder in Louis
vile, Ky. Recently he visited the
city. His fashionable friends wished
to make much Of him, but their visitor
slipped away, and for day could not
be found. He passed that day with
an old IriShman, molder, now re-
tired:
