Something About
Bucking BrOnchOS.

Let no one fear that they will not see
plenty of real excitement with Buffalo
Bills Wild West when it exhibits in this
CITY. There will be plenty of excitement
of the genuine sort, and not the least
will be furnished by the Rough Rider
delegation which constitutes part OF
the entertainment. The horsemen, drawn
from the equestrian nations OF the world
will furnish wide. variety of daring feats
ranging from the fearless Cossack from
Russia to the American cowboy from
our own western plains.
The cowboys will introduce the realism
Of life in the boundless West; an exis
tence which is led in the free, open air OF
the prairies. They will show the sports
with which they while away the hours OF
,e;snre which fall to their lot in pursul
Of their calling as herdsmen and watchers
over the cattle which Craze upon the
n,ains. The most interesting features OF
their life naturally center around their
horses; their care and management.
One of the most diverting features
of Buffalo Bills exhibition will be
truthful representation of. "broncho bust
ing" by real cowboys and real "bronchos"
Their antics may be described as pure
deyilishness on the part of the horse and
pure recklessness OF the part OF the
riders. No one seems to know just why
q broneho makes himself so disagreable
It seams to be born in him. No attempt
is made to train them; it is not even cor,
rect to say they are broken. They are
simply "busted.". 1t is not gentle
process for the horse, nor is it anything
short of violent for the rider.
Will exhibit at Washington D. c., May
s1st and June 1st.

How to Forecast Raj What Weather
wise Prophet Says.-Many persons are sur
iciently familiar with weather lore to
know some of the signs that herald rain.
The repeated performance of it's toilet by
the domestic cat, the apparent nearness
of distant objects. unusual activity on
the part of snail in the garden such in
dications are familiar to most persons
But there are other signs more easy to
be noted by housekeeping town dwelled'
Here are. a few, catalogued by weather
prophet;
If on picking up your newspaper in the
morning it splays tendency to tear al
most on its own account, a downpour
is not far off. Rain is also presaged when
the contents of the saltcellar are in a
moist and cloggy condition. At such time
tendencyts snap and your kid gloves will
have cold, clammy feeling and be more
than usually difficult to pull on.
Even the walking stick or umbrella will
act the part of barometer. The handles
before rain will reveal slight deposit of
moisture AID be sticky to the touch. In
this way the question whether it is the
wiser to take walking stick or an UNI
brella on leaving home will be settled fer
the observant person by an inspection OF
the articles themselves.
Of all domestic creature the cat is the
most sensitive to approaching weather
change Puss is restless in marked degree
before the approach Of a storm. Its un.
easiness is due to the electricity in the
air, cats being very susceptible to electri
cal conditions.
Many persons are very sensitive to
weather conditions and are troubled with
hot. irritable feeling of the skin before
rain. If, being person of this character
you find yourself one day depressed ane
anxious without visible cause, dem
Jump to The conclusion that it is pre-
sentiment of some impending persona

are suffering from the same symptom
which afflict the cat in lower degree
storm is coming, and your brain is affect
ed by the atmospheric and electrical con
ditions.
