MISS CODY
10 MARRY
Her Husband an Officer in
Buffalo Bills Regiment.
HAS BEEN BRAVE MAN
Romatic Touch TO the Young
Floks History.

New York, Jan 1.-THE New York
World says:
\ daughter OF Buffalo Bail Is 10 marry
an officer OF the regimen 10 which her
father was attached before he became
Chief of Scouts in the United States
Army-the Tenth Cavalry
On many q hard and hard march has
Col. w F. Cody led that regiment. In
many a hard fight against Indians old
he take part with IL Upon scores of
occasions did his knowledge and skin
preserve il from attack And because
OF these things, because The Tenth was
his regiment. he feels Tor II ia affection
that none other has ever aroused in
him
While it is true that Col. Cody wen
the soubriquet that is known the world
over because Of the tho usan,is upon thou
sands OF buffalo he killed rp6er contract
TO supply food. yet he was greater as
u scout and an Indian fighter than as
a slayer OF big game. IL was his mar
vellouS insight. his knowledge OF Wild
things. his ability to get in range Of his
men. his cool-headed daring and his mar
vellous skill with the rife that made him
great among his kind
OF course, a child of Col Cody is bound
TO be interesting because he IS the child
of such q remarkable man. and one
whose experiences have been more varied.
probably. than those OF any OF LIS con-
temporaries. Then Mss Irnia Cody has
a personality which impresses people
most chsrmiHsIy even when they do not
know she is Buffalo Bits daughter. She
has the best that the west man can give
and there is nothing finer-brought To
a high degree of perfection by eastern
polish.
The man WON 81 - Cody il to marry
is Lieutenant Clarence Armstrong StOtt.
and Buffalo Bill approves OF him highly.
which is sufficient praise for any man.
For Col. Cody mas rubbed elbows with
ali kinds and classes of .iner. He Is the
personal friend OF ever so many royal
personages. He probably knows more
emperors. kings. princes and dukes than
any living American. md his acquaint-
auce with his own cOullrymen is as wide
in the United States. Col. Cody is OF the
opinion that the officers Of the United
States army are about the finest type
of men TO be found anVw where.
That his daughter should ian in love
with a regular army officer pleased Col.
Cody; that she should choose a cavalry
nan was all the better: that he should
belong 10 the Tenth Cavalry was really
recommendation and when he found
that his daughters choice was worthy
of the place he nils Buffalo Bill was as
delighted as a fond father can be when
he learns that his daughter is to marry
aud leave MS roof. II is particularly
hard on Col. Cody because the relation
ship between him and his younger daugh-
ter has been peculiarly close and ten
der
There Is another thing about Lieutenant
Stott that appealed 20 his prospective
father-in-law. The young man worked
his way up from the ranks. There are
many thousands OF enlisted men who are
working with Nigh. and main 10 win

of winning a commission. His social po-
sition and his resources-he is a son Of
the late Col. w W. Stott. OF Phila-
delphia, who won distinction in the civil
war-made him a matrimonial eligible be-
fore he came a soldier and won rank and
glory in the Philippines
There are two stories about the ro-
nance. which seems to have progressed
most smoothly, according to both YER
sions. Both Miss Cody and Lieut.. stott
are In New York now, but they vii no,
talk about II. They think IL II trying
enough to accept gracefully and reply 20
the congratulations without explaining
TO the public generally how they came
TO fall in love with each other. Miss
Cody has been accustomed to publicity
for good many yesrc. bat she doesn't
like f. particularly when 3, has to do
with her love affairs.
Both versions OF the romance agree
that the young people met for the first
time when Miss Cody was visiting her
sister Mrs. Boal Then the divergence
begins 4 story told by some az the
young vonans friends IN New York says
that Mr.. Stott WAS az that tine-ln Isse
