are taking place, there is one new min.

Just now, when there is all this talk
about General Miles retirement. and
the professional prophets are telling us
VINO VIII be his successor, it is rather
interesting to know that a very lannon's
man long ago volunteered for the post.
1t WAS at a dinner given by John
Chamberlain TO General Miles. Among
he guests was Buffalo Bill, or Colonel
Cody, who had served with the general
as a scout in the Indian campaigns.
Cody as usual, took the lead in the
stories and t0asts that were always
Witty az Ckamberlain's. Rising with
glass in hand, he launched forth into
an enthusiastic eulogy Of General Miles
as q soldier, and particularly an Indian
ngbter- He concluded by assuring the
distinguished company that General
Miles was the best general I ever
served under. No foreign invader viii
ever set foot on these shores as
long as General Miles il, at the head
OF the army. If they should, said
cody, Just call on me"

Pins pong is in IT'S Death agony. Up

ITS periodical hunts for a new sensa-

.JuNenated something old and worn. The
mucn-lauded new amusement is-gh0st
stories. They call it ghost parties. be-
cause they all sit in the drawing room
instead of me nursery. But they mt
