NO HEROES IN THE DIVORCE COURTS.

Divorce courts are great diSillusion-
izers. Men accounted great dwindle
when they come before them. The di-
vorce court is rhe workshop of icono-
clasts where our imagined parian
marble turns under the hammer to bits
Of base putty and our heavy weights
into papier mashe.
Just now the divorce court is busy
| changing that hirsute hero, w. Il. Cody
from Buffalo Bill" Indian fighter ana
general all-around daredevil into a
very common and currish type of the
kind that forget their wives in old age
to become the silly dupes of women
who profit pecuniarily by them. But
falo Bill in the nickel library charging
pistols in hand upon innumerable saw
ages to rescue captured maiden is
one thing and w. f. Cody neglecting
his home in brazen dalliance or stu
pid drunkenness is another. The
worst of it all is that Buffalo Bill
appears to be largely the creature of
the Imagination and w. +. Cody the
real thing.
Long ago Buffalo Bill" earned his
living with the other hide hunters who
externinated the buffalo. He was a
good shot and could kill as many of
the beasts as he could skin. He had
been a scout and had proved himself
no coward. There is not one private
soldier in a thousand who lacks the
determination and courage to face
danger as freely in the same manner.
Col. E. z. c. Judson, a writer of fiction
of the cheap blood and thunder var
iety, needed a hero for his stories and
pitched upon Buffalo Bill" This clap
elan gave Cody a reputation among
| those who read it and it's readers We're
many in the palrny days of the New
York Weekly and Beadle's series If
dime novels" Then Judson conceiv-
| ed the idea of Buffalo Bill as the
| star in a western play. He wrote it,,
financed the Company and for a few
wears Buffalo Bill killed more In
dams nightly on the stage than he had
ever done in his life time outside of
Mr.. Judson's florid fiction and melange
of farce, tragedy and melodrama.
Buffalo Bill made some money. He
learned how easy it is to get more.
He kept his long hair, gathered a show
and a good show-together and ex-
plotted the wild west. The ubiquitous
press agent finished what Judson had
| begun. Buffalo Bill grew rich and ia
grew and hardened into accepted his

work of years in the twinkling of an

patriarch of the slums, is only an
awkward and despicable old man to
be jeered and flouted, an old man who
gets drunk in the day time, abuses his
wife and runs after other women, his
gray hair not crown of experience
but the insignia of the fool. 1t is hard
lines for Buffalo Bilr but harder lines
for the public.

Epileptic Fits
Doctors Say Cannot be cured-Those
Cured Prove They Can Be.


Those who have had epileptic fits for
