playing cards with a man, who, with
another, had resolved to kill him. The
other man was behind Bill, but when
the trap was sprung, he killed both,
shooting the other man yer his Shout
der, with only a lOoking-glass some
distance away to assist his aim. At
another time, after having been given
the customary notice that he wouldSbe
shot on sight, Wild Bill walked into
the square of the town, to find himself
between the man who had served the
notice and a crowd of his friends. So
short was his time and so dangerous
his position that he was compelled to
fire at a single man from his hip, but
without a glance he swung around and
covered the crowd with his guns be-
fore they could take action against
him; but he knew his skill, and his
opponent was dead even before he be-
gan to turn. Cody, while never a
killer like Wild Bill and his proto-
types, earned fairly his name Of Buff

1t would be interesting to know the
proportion of leading business men in
the larger cities who were formerly
country boys. Among fnanciers, di-

country towns, but who always retain
fond memories of their native heath.

Superficial observation has defined
fear as that characteristic OF living
creatures which teaches them to avoid
danger and thereby protect themselves
from injury or death. But II our
study Of nature is exhaustive we viii
find hat fear does not protect limb or
life. Indeed, nature has furnished one
class of living organisms strictly as
the prey Of another. There are multi
tudes Of creatures that feed upon other
forms Of animal life and rarely indulge
In a vegetable diet. In a state OF ma
ture these animals hunt their prey.
