ants are beginning to realize more
fully the necessity or getting them
selves busy To set back and expect
your friends and fellow organization

folly. You have got to put forth your

II you are that kind you will very
soon begin To show results. The best
WAY TO prove you are doing things is
to cast a good sized vote occasionally

NOT ALL ON THE SURFACE.
Don't be deluded with the idea that
all thlt's going on In this exceedingly
interesting contest Is reflected in the

The display OF the rich and coveted

OF favorable comment and has added

But Cicero knew his gait. He knew
that all things come TO him who waits.
He was content to wait until his time
came. 1t was years coming to him, as
II may be 70 you, but when 1t came he
was ready to grasp 1t. A bull got loose
and took after schoolma'am walking
along the highway, and Cicero butted
In. He seized that bull by the horns
and twisted his neck and heaved the
palpitatng body over the fence, and
in day he was famous. From thence
on he began to climb, and You who
are familiar with his history know
TO what heights he attalncd-a hero,
an orator, Il philosopher scholar
And it all came about because he was
ready to seize his opportunity when 1t

Nero as a Youth.
"Who was Nero MS a youth? Old
Nero and his wife were pumpkin poor.
They were as shiftless aud lazy as
growing squashcs. They hadn't the
ambition to steal chickens. Nero grew
up barcfooted ana tow headed. He
had more appetite than clothes There
didn't seem TO be one chance in
thousand that he would ever keep out
Of Jail, but he felt that opportunity
had something mp its sleeve for him
And so IL did have Nero was only
fifteen years Old when one day n
great mans chariot came along the
highway with the horses on the run
and headed straight for the mill pond
Young Nero didn't wait TO ponder aud
wonder and figure It out. lie sprang
forward and seized one of the horses
and brought the runaway TO stand
still, and the big man IN the chariot
piled out to take him in his arms and
weep tears OF gratitude. What fol.
lowed? He tells You. Nero fought
ana tiddled his way TO the top, and
when he went down at last the crash
was heard all around the world. Sup
pose he had sat on the fence and de
cared that the world was done with
heroes!

Miss Borgla In particular was looked
upon as a chump, and it was not until
her opportunities began coming that
any one went out of his way 10 pat her

BUFFALO BILL" COMING SOON
Wild West Show Appears Here on
May IS and 10.

Buffalo Bills advertising forces arrived
in Washington on the heels OF the circus,
and the cit. is now being billed for the
appearance Of the Wild West at the show
grounds at Fifteenth and II streets north
east, on Monday and Tuesday, May IS
and ls. The Wild West is completing a
three weeks engagement in Madison
Square Garden, New York, and comes 10
Washington after playing one week in
Philadelphia
In addition to the regular historical fea-
lures which the Wild West usually pre-
sents, Buffalo Bill has secured for this
season a novelty in the game Of football
on horseback, seen for the first time with
any travelling exhibition. IN playing the
new game six Indians and six COWBOYS,
mounted on horseback, engage in contest.
A large rubber ball, which is inflated
with air, after the fashion OF the regula-
tlon football. Is placed In the center of
the arena. The riders endeav0r TO push
this ball between their goal posts. which
have been erected at either end Of the
arena.
The ball stands about as high as the
average hOrse, and is forced either by the
horses bree4iting il or kicking il. The
Indians ride bareback. and the cowboys
use saddle and spurs. and in these differ
ent styles of hOrsemanshlp considerable
interest develops.
The historical features OF the wild
West includes the battle Of Summit
Springs, in which more than 100 Indians
take part. Buffalo Bills Rough Riders
will demonstrate their various styles OF
horsemanship. There will be Cossacks.
Arabians, Mexicans, and American cow
boys. competing in saddle displays and
feats Of recklessness.
OF course. the real feature Of the Wild
West will continue to be Col Cody, the
original and only Buffalo Bill" It has
been more than twenty-five years since
he gave up the life Of plainsman TO be-
come a Snowman. and in that time he has
played in every part of the United States
and Canada, and has made five trips
abroad.
