Let not my faith o Christ, be but tomb
Whence men shall never see Thou dost arisel
But let the splendor of Thy sacrifice
Irradate the shadows and the glooml
Let not the terrors of the darkness loom
Around sealed stone to mock Thy cries,
When in noon midnight Thou ddst agonize!
Nay, make my life to be the gracious
Where Thou shalt win thy vastest victories;
Where men shall not behold Thee sepuchered,
But gaze upon the broken SEAL the stone
Rolled back For Thou art dead quick, me,
If | have put Thy love aside or heard
The tend rest call the world hath ever known.

His only special preparation was to fill
his pockets with pebbles. The four
mules started at a good pace, at which
the passengers expressed delight at the
first down grade The driver pelted the
mules furiously with the pebbles their
rough hides would have been insensible
to the whip. Soon the pace became
terrific, for the shower of pebbles con-
tinued. Cody looked back, saw the
Englishmen huddled on the front seat,
and shouted:
Sit on the back seat!"
It's no use, old chap" one of the
frightened tourists replied. We've just
left there
When Cody is not acting or riding or
fighting Indians or ranching or asleep
he is likely to be telling stories, and he
has so many that it is hard for him to
tell any story twice, unless by special
request One that has been called for
frequently is of an Eastern man who
was employed by Colonel Cody out West.
The man had not been out long enough
to know the Elusive tricks of the clear
atmosphere of the plains and hills. A
picturesque mountain that seemed only
a mile away interested him so greatly
that he started early one morning to
visit it and return by breakfast-time
He didn't return in three DAYS. a few
DAYS later the Colonel saw him beside
an irrigating ditch and asked him what
he was going to do, for the man was
taking off his clothes
I'm goin' to swim across this river"
was the reply.
Swim? Why don't you jump it?
It's only three feet wide"
Wees; l know it looks that way, but
l amt goin' to be fooled again
One evening the Hoffman House he
told this story to two or three friends
with whom he was spending the even
ings:
While he was General Sheridans chief
of scouts, there was "a little affair" in
camp at which everyone present got
drunk except Cody. Toward morning he
went to the cottage where he lived,
raped on the window and made himself
known, and his wife, who refused to
open the door, said
Go away, whoever you are. Colonel
Cody isn't home yet" At this point
Ol TIE SIOiN Nody lduS4C0, Glld NOli-
tinued Boys, I'd gone home sober,
and my wife didn't know me. l went
back to the camp, got as full as anyone
else, returned to my house, approached
the door unsteadily, fumbled the latch,
and my wife's voice greeted me, saying:
Is that you, Willie?''
When this story ended, we started
from the Hoffman House for the Lambs
Club, which then was on Twenty-sixth-st
With Cody and me were Steele Mackaye
and Judge Gildersleeve, both of whom
were tall, strong men As we neared the
club we met a crowd of tough-looking
men, and stood aside to let them pass,
which they did, to my great relief.
Then my companions got the laugh on
me- for | remarked with earnest conf
dence:

earlier days of our friendship that he
offered to select me a charming squaw
from among his own grandchildren.
Flat Iron is shrewd financier, with
a moneys getting system peculiarly his
own which he worked successfully on
many whites In New-York he some
times walked alone, in street full of
people, muttering and staring at the sky.
When he saw that he had excited
curiositv-and an Indian can see out of
the back of his head as well as out of
both sides of it-he would stop, place
several nickels-never pennies-on the
sidewalk, and make solemn passes y
over them, as if doing an incarnation act.
Occasionally he would look aside, and
indicate by signs that the observers
should add to the number of nickels.
These additions he would arrange in
geometric figures, which always lacked
some point or line Bystanders would
supply the deficiency, the coins would
be rearranged, still with missing parts,
and the mysterious passes would con-
tinue, with solemn gazes heavenward.
This pantomime would continue until
the crowd had parted from all its n1ckels;
then suddenly the old man would pick
up the entire collection, stow it in his
pocket and stalk off as jauntily as
broker who has unloaded a lot of wild
cat stocks on a confiding public.
While the wild West was at Man
chester | had my hundredth laugh-per-
haps it was my thousandth-at the
density of intelligent Englishmen's ig
norance regarding American people and
ways. Colonel Cody, his partner and
business manager Mate" Salisbury, and
l were standing together, when an Eng
lishman approached and asked for Mr.
Salisbury. Nate asked what he could
do for him, and the man replied:
I'm The Greffic D."
THE wha-at?"
"'The Greffic The London Greffic
| make sketches, doncher know"
ooh, The London Graphic? All
right. Sail right in. You might begin
with Cody"
And who is Cody?" the artist asked
"Whv, Cody is Buffalo Bill" SAILS
bury replied, amazed.
And does he speak English?"
But listen to a tale of an American
woman and an English clergyman who
was an Oxford graduate and a great
reader He also was of charming manner
and conversed brilliantly. The woman
was the first American he ever had met,
and he confessed to her that he was
startled by her complexion, for he had
supposed that all inhabitants of this
country were copper-colored. When she
spoke of driving near her own home the
clergyman said:
"Er-may ask if you drive the native
animals?"
The native animals?" the mystifed
woman echoed.
Yes, the elk and moose and buffalo,
you know.
Long before he went on the stage
Colonel Cody had earned several desirable
regulations in the West. One was as a
stage-driver, in which capacity he was SO
much talked about that several English
men who went West insisted on riding
in his coach. They made SO much fuss
about it, even in anticipation that Bill

Henry about o'clock yesterday
morning.
In speaking Of the trip down the
coast, Captain ". G. Melvin, local
representative Of the Seaboari
transportation Company, vino was
in charge of the big warship, stated
that he has never been on a more
seaworthy vessel than the Louisiana
All during the terrific storm of Fri.
day and Friday night the vessel be-
haved magniflcently and was as
steady as q rock.
Her average speed down the coast
was 16 knots an hour. which, consid-
er'ng the bad weather, is exception
ally good time for ship of the
Louisianas class.
When She steamed into the harbor
yesterday morning the figures Of her
official speed, 1883 knots" were
painted in huge letters On her fore
and aft turrets and brooms were fas.
tened TO her yard arms and mast
heads.
All Of tho shipyard officials and
members OF the ships crew are
highly pleased with the Louisianas
performance both during the run up
and down the, Atlantic coast through
two storms and her remarkable
speed made during her official speed
trial last Thursday.

val officers AMI men on board the

the board has, done injustice to the
members Of the board.
g The facts. stated below will ex.
plain my meaning: The matter of
redistricting the citys school dis.
tricts has been under consideration
for some time. The matter was
formally brought to the attention OF
the board by the committee on Rules
and Regulations April 25th, 1905.
Mr.. A. c. Garrett. who Is now not
member OF the board. was the char
man of this committee. The recon-.
mendation of the committee is as
follows: owing to the growing,
changed and changing population
since the districtiDg Of the city into
school districts, your committee begs
to recommend that the board ask tho
council to change the boundaries of
the school districts as at present
constituted and rearrange them in
accordance with tho plans attached
to this report"
These plans are Identical in every
respect 10 those offered by the pres,
cnt COMMITTEE with the exception OF
small section of the city located
north Of Thirty-second street and
east OF Jefferson avenue.
The fact that this plan would not
Iorce Messrs. Hunter and helms to
retire from the board fastened the
adoption Of this plan, yet from the
standpoint OF growth and proper rep.
resentatfon on the board, the plan
would. I believe, have been adopted
Kindly make proper statement Of
this In your paper and obllge.
Very truly yours,

Policy holders in the large insurance
companies who have any substantial
investment in life insurance policies,
should not be so far alarmed by any
disclosures in the inyestigation Of,
these insurance companies as to allow
their policies to lapse. Policies in any
Of these large companies are safe, and
II the return upon them is not SO large
as 1t would be II the companies were
managed as the law contempIates. it is
q kind OF saving that the average man
would possibly make In no other way.
The investigation Of these insurance
companies will no doubt result In more
careful management and IN larger
profit to the policy holder. What may
have been lost in THE past is lost, but
II future management means larger
profit, then the policy holder who
keeps up ihis policy will be the one to
profit, and the one who lapses his
policy will profit only In the satisfac,
ton he may get by cutting himself Cd
from his company.

Practically without exception Ameri-
can agricultural colleges recently
opened their fall terms with increased
attendance, says the Breeders Gazette.
In some instances the enrolment has
been almost doubled. Altogether the
increase has been marked, indicating
wonderful growth and distribution Of
interest in agricultural education. It
is good token. Nothing is more
significant as showing the trend Of the
times. It requires but ordinary men
tai penetration to see the day when
the largest success in agriculture as a
business will depend upon technical
training and commercial sagacity.
The colleges ought to be oYerflowing,
everyone of them. Their mission is
to shape the destiny of agriculture, and
hence of the nation, through their
students. Their responsibility Is ire
mendous. but they are equal to 1t.
What they have accomplished within
a few years, in the face OF disappear
ing prejudice, is a trustworthy earnest
of great service In future.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE.
g.

1t is reported from Standing Rock
chat Rain-inthe-F Face, the Indian
chiefsman who died on September IL,
left confession to the effect that it
was he who killed Custer, and that he
was so close to him at the time he
shot him that the powder from his
weapon burned Clusters face. Rain
in-the4Face states further in his con
fession that there was no mutilation
IF bodies as has been suggested by
writers given to sensation, as the In
dams were at the time too busy with
their warfare TO stop for any mutila-
ton of bodies. The report that Rain
in-the- Face left this confession is con-
iirmed by Colonel Steen, Indian agent
at Standing Rock. Every since the
Custer massacre, writer's given TO
sensation have woven together q web
OF details, in which it was stated that
Rainsin-the-Face killed Custer out Of
revenge for some arrest Of the Indian
sometime prior to the massacre, and
this story has been connected with
other bloody and disgusting details.
"Reminiscences confession that he
killed Custer may be true, and 1t may
arise only out the natural inclination
OF the Indian to boast of his deeds,
even where the boast is not sustained
by the facts However it may be, it
is Of little Importance. The massacre
was the important and pitiful tragedy.
The name or nature Of the Indian who
killed Custer is only Of secondary
Importance.
