TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.
Little Wolf" the Sioux, Is Riding
 to Washington.

Norfolk, Va, May 25.-Decked in the paraphernalia of an Indian chief, Little Wolf" a full blooled Sioux, is on his way from Chicago to Wash ington, where he will meet President Roosevelt and extend to him an invi- tation to be present at the James town Ter-Centennial exposition, on Hampton Roads, Va, near Norfolk when the "101 Ranch" Wild West show is formally opened on the after noon of May 20.
 There are no steam cars, electric cars, wagons nor conveyances of any sort connected with the ride. Lit tie Wolf" is making the ride on his broncho, which was raised and broken bythim on the plains of the great west. Little Wolf" is riding as the Indian rides. When roads suit his convenience he makes use of them. Otherwise he takes the cross country route, through the low lands, fording rivers, up through the woodlands.
 As Is natural to suppose he is at tracting no little attention. He has been on his way something over five days, and a number of the leading horsemen through whose neighbor- hoods he passes are making a study of his care and treatment of his horse. 4E
 Little Wolf" never loiters by the way. He forces steadily ahead, but is attentive to his horse beyond all else. Such is the result of this, that though covering scores of miles ev- cry day and often over the toughest kind of country, the animal never seems to weary, but is ever fresh, and full of that old bronco spirit inherit ed from long line of ancestors.
 Of course it cannot be expected of anyone to carry enough food for him. self and horse on such a trip, nor can the Indian hunt, as in former days along the way. His own food, and grain and hay for his horse he purchases along the way, but at night, scorning the protection of a roof, Little Wolf" pillows his head on his Indian blanket and sleeps wherever he happens to be.
 Little Wolf Is member of the tribe, which will be present with the 101 ranch at the exposition. This Ranch" is situated just to. the left of the main entrance. opposite Lees parade. It has a seating capacity of fifteen thousand people and will give three performances daily, rain or shine-only an eclipse of the sun preventing. In this case it will be postponed until the big arc lights can be turned on. Then the show will continue.
 There will be some five hundred Indians, cowboys and cowgirls con- nected with this ranch, besides a number of Mexican horsemen. All kinds of lasso exhibitions will be given-from horseback and a-foot.
 Then some of the crack rife and pistol shots of the west will be pres ent to break the glass balls, shoot cigars out of each others mouths. shoot by means of the mirror-one of the most remarkable exhibitions of a steady hand and eye.
 The great buffalo chase will be one of the most striking features. Tn this a number of buffalo will be turned loose in the big arena. and run down by the cowboys. Mexicans and Indians. They will then be las- soed. dragged to their knees. thrown and tied.
 The arena in which this chase will take place covers something like two full city blocks. SO 1t may be readily seen there will be no crowding. The buffalos will have ample room to run and dodge-as we'll as their cumber- some bodies will allow them-terri- fled by their shouting pursuers.
