BUFFALO BILLS HAIR

the acts, went behind the scenes to
have chat with his old friend, Frank
Daniels. He was standing just inside
Mr.. Daniels dressing when Eva
Tanguay passed by and saw him.

to one Of the chorus girls.
Stump you to cut it off, ventured
the girl.
Get a pair of scissors You can't
stump me- declared the actress.
The girl got the scissors and Miss
Tanguay cautiously slipped up behind
Buffalo Bill, selected a wisp that stuck
out from behind a hairpin and shipped
it off.
The hero of many. Indian battles
clapped his hand to his pate and
turned just in time to see the smiling
face of Miss Tanguay disappearing in
the wings.

yelled, shaking his fist good -naturedly
at the retreating soubrette. IF you

FACTS ABOUT THE RUSSIAN ARMY

The wages of a common soldier in the
regular army of Russia do not amount
to more than l cent a day. tho his food,
clothing and equipment provided by
the government. His regular allowance
for spending money for all purposes is
Just little more than a rube a year,
but extras Of various kinds bring the
grand total up to a little less than ST.
This sum Is supposed to cover all his eX-
penditures for tobacco, spirits and lux
uries of every kind. The enlisted men
in the United States army are paid more
than three time that amount a month,
or about forty times that amount a
year. When 1t Is considered how little
the Russian private has to spend it is
easy TO see why he should be eager and
quick Ion the loot.
The Russian officers are paid little
better, but not so much so to cause
any particular gaspng for breath. A Rus
sian lieutenant gets about 5000 a year,
captain about $500, and major $3.50.
1t will be seen. therefore. that such of
the Russian officers as have not private
means or do not obtain financial assist
ance from some outside source are forced
to live in a condition not far removed
from actual poverty. A new uniform to
q man who depends on his pay is quite
impossible. AS a matter of fact, almost
all the higher officers come from more or
less wealthy families, and If they marry

The most astonishing strength Of the
Russian army is in its cavalry branch.
The agricultural department at Washing
ton estimates that in all the world there
are about IS, OO0, 900 horses. The Russian
empire alone has 30,00O00O horses. or
nearly half of the grand total. In the
regular army Of the car there are nc
less than half a million horses. and this
number in time of war might be easily
doubled. How valuable this vast cavalry
force may be in the far east may be
questioned, for, allowing to each horse
daily ration Of twenty-five pounds of fod
der and taking 1t for granted that Man
churia and the adjacent provinces raist
little that might be used for horse food
1t Is hard to see how any large humble
of horses can be permanently maintained
at the far end of single-track railroad
more than 5000 miles long.
In the Russian cavalry. of course. tn
most picturesque corps is that OF the Cos
sacks. The COssa cks are really profes
sional soldiers. They almost live Oh
horseback, and are the only horsemen il
the world who equal the rough riders o
the far western states in feats' of horse
manship. They come from about tn

along the shore. The city is situated at
the very foot of the preciptous mountains

In the southern sky about Is degrees
above the mountain horizon see the
far-famed Southern Cross. The four stars,
not all OF the first or second magnitude,
that outline the constellation remind us of
the shape of our boyhood's kite. Draw a
line lengthwise and "rosswise from the
four stars and YOU see the cross, the most
beautiful and the most conspicuous con-
stellation in the southern skies. But 1t is
true that after gazing at 1t more than an
hour and taking in all it's surroundings I
cannot coIupara It N grandeur or beauty

Orion.
While gazing on the Cross we have time
to think of the time when Columbus on his
third voyage came into the waters a little
farther to the east. This time he went a
little farther south than on his other voy
ages and struck that belt just north of the
equator lying between the northeast and
the southeast tradewindS. The air was
like a fiery furnace. and officers and men
were overcome with heat. The ship was
leaking and the provisions spoiled. After
