there three kings of smaller Germanic
powers. The royal gentlemen were
very much interested in the Buffalo

The recipient of many favOrs from the
cmDeror himself. One feature OF the
performance was the exhibition of the
ontiouated DeadwOOd coach containing
messengers who are attacked by In
dams and finally rescued by cowboys.
The kaiser asked to be allowed TO
ride in this vehicle with his royal
guests and to participate in this inter
esting experience. The request was of
course granted, and when the coach
was furiously assailed by bowling In
dams its inmates were as usual saved
by gallant cowboys.
After it was over and as the royal
marty were descending from the coach
the emperor remarked:
Colonel Cody, do not suppose this
is the first time that you have ever held
four kings"
"No. your majesty" returned the
quick witted scout, "but this is the first
