Office for Indians for his show, which.
the colonel says. is without any doubt
whatsoever the greatest thing that ever
was or viii be.
Col Cody is an enthusiastic admirer 0f
President Roosevelt, and says the West
IS simply wild to have him run again and
serve another term. The Snowman. how
ever, seems to realize that Roosevelt does
not mean to have his name mentioned in
connection with another term. He is for
that reason a loyai supporter Of Taft for
the place
The great Indian fighter and scout is
as straight as an arrow. Notwithstanding
his sixty-second birthday will occur
on the 26th Of this month
The colonel comes Of line Of fighters.
His father was killed I'm the border
war IN Kansas. Cody when fourteen
years old. was pony express rider: at fif-
teen he was government scout and
guide and member Of the Kansas cavalry.
He contracted to furnish the Kansas
and Pacific Railway with all the buffalo
meat required to feed the laborers en-
gagged in construction, and in eighteen
months in the years IS57-6s killed 4,20
buffaloes, which gave him the name OF
Buffalo Bill"
He was government scout and guide IN
the years 1S5S-lSI2 serving iE operations
against the Cheyenne and Sioux Indians.
and in 1872 became a member Of the Ne
brasks legislature. and in 1876 Joined the
Fifth Cavalry as scout. He killed Yellow
Hand in the battle Of Indian Greek, I'm a
hand-tO-hand fight Yellow Hand was a
famous Cheyenne chief
Buffalo Bill has participated IN more
Indian battles than any other living man.
and has been since 1883 az the head of
the "Wild West Show" Of world-wide
fame He has taken his Indians before
every crowned head of Europe who were
astouished at the feats Of h0rsemansnip
accomplished by his Indians and cowboys
and other men Of the plains.
According 10 the personal views Of G. G.
Higgins, Of New York. who is staying at
the New Willard. Hughes viii receive the
support Of the New York delegation.
Mr. Higgins, however, does not place
much confidence in the Taft boom. He
thinks. after all. a man may receive the
nomination for the Presidency whose
name heretofore has not been mentioned
as prominently as those Of the other can
didates.
Mr. Higgins is Of the opinion that It is
a free fight, with an even change for all
comers
Some years ago I'm Georgia that band

having a grand revival" said Roger Q.
Scott, an elderly. white-haired gentleman,

/ He continued his story. as follows.
"One day when the meeting was in fun
/ EJrce a storm came up, and a young gem

Being cgfious To see the service. the two
I hunters cTept up into the gallery, and
there hid TN a place where trey could

Come. Lord. come; our robes are

/ preacher, while all present gave loud
! Amen"

/ Put that horn down. or I'll break

pleaded the minister. Cuny could TO
( longer resist the temptation. and sent "a
wsld peal ringing from end to end of the
church; but long before its last echo died
away his master and himself were the

A smokeIess Washington is entirely

/ Too much dependence has been placed
upon the fireman in the past" said Mr.
! Cummings. "The plants that smoke least
! are mechanically operated. The present
( knowledge of necessary equipment and
/ apparatus is so exact that all the ap-
/ pHances are available. No man with a
/ smoky chimney can plead helplessness as
4 an excuse.

cause the large round wick brings up the
oil especially in the center To which air
cannot be supplied. II the air supply
through the center tube of our student
lamp is shut off. "A sm0kiL< fame results.
The candle with the small wick is an
advance over the candle supplied with
/ the large wick The fame from the fat
wick has an extended surface for air sup
ply. while the circular burner not only
has maximum surface for air supply, but

suited 20 aid combustion and burn a large
amount of oil. Thus il is we have sue
! cessfully solved the problem of burning

/ eff We try TO increase the oil COnsump-

smoke, and because they are In the room
with us we Immediately turn them down.
! Furnaces burning coal sometimes smoke
/ Just because they are forced too hard, and
/ because the top of the chimney is not In
our room, but in the public's pure air.
we do not turn Them down, but let them
| smoke.
Air, correct in amount. is a necessity
/ for complete combustion. Simple expert
ments which We have been making with
+ oil and gas flames should be sufficient
evidence that only when we are able TO
supply our furnaces with the correct
emount of air shall we be able to control
| the smoke which Il is so easy TO make.
