THE NAMING OF BUFFALO BILL.

William F. Cody Tells How He Was
 Given His sobriQuet.
 St Louis t-Dispatch.
 If there is one question Above all others that I am tired of answering. this Is 1t:
 How did you happen to be called Buffalo Bill?S
 So I will tell the story, almost as much to stop those queries as in the hope of spinning an Interesting yarn.
 Twelve hundred men were laying the tracks and roadbed of the Kansas Pa cifc Railroad. There was plenty of food for them, such us 1t was But they grew tired of canned means and "salt hoss," and wanted fresh meat once in a while. Goddard. the contrac- tor, was afraid he'd have trouble on his hands, so they hit on the plan of feeding the whole party on bufalo meat,
 Buffaloes roamed in the plains by the hundred thousand in those days. and they were about the cheapest and easi- est food to find. I had some skill at hunting. so Goddard employed me, at $500 a month, to supply him with 360 buffalo. That was at the rate of twelve a day.
 There was no great difficulty in ind ing that number of buffalo. But there was still less difficulty in finding far larger number of decidedly hostile In- dians. That was what made the job well worth the money. For 1t was a life-and death game.
 They say in playing polo everything depends on your pony. In buffalo hunt ing the pony Is as important as the hunter himself. A good buffalo pony was worth a fortune. l had just such q little horse. He was so homely and slabsided and crafty that named him Brigham Young. after the old Nor mon, who was a great character at that time.
 bought a needle gun Cbreech-load- l tnR), and nicknamed the weapon "Lu . crezia," after the Borgia woman In history who was so deadly and mur- derous.
 For a long time luck was with me. Then the buffalo herds drifted away and for a few days there wasn't 6 sign of them. One morning I sighted herd travelling pretty fast, a long distance off. grabbed up "Lucrezla" and | jumped on Brigham's bare back and started after them. I was in suGl a hurry that I didn't wait for saddle or l bridIe But the rope halter was good enough for the wise little horse. He knew what was up as well as did. Of we went, lickety-split trying to cut of the herd before 1t got away. The buffaloes slowed down pretty soon. Just then I ran across half a dozen mounted men. They were officers from the fort and they were out on buff falo hunt. They had struck the trail of the same herd I was following.
 They were sprucely dressed and rode showy horses. They nudged each other as I ambled up and one or two of them grinned. I suppose, with my old hunt

against the Consolidated Gas Company which will force them to supply gas at eighty cents thousand cubic feet instead of $1. While the suit has been pending the company has been collect- ing a dollar. but the court ordered that the twenty cent difference between that and the eighty cents, under the new law be put in trust until the courts decided the question.
 Tn little less than two years since the order was given the twenty cent difference has amounted to S7.000. 900. which if the case goes against the com pany will be paid back to the con- sumers with interest at the rate of twenty cents on every dollar they have paid in. The case is soon to go to the United States Supreme Court. where the consumers have high hopes of a successful outcome.
 A widow forty-two years old was one of a party of friends in the Bronx the other night, when someone cracked an old joke that sent the company into a roar.
 T know I shall die laughing if 1 don't stop" remarked the widow, but no one took her seriously. Before the mortified guests could realize that Mrs. Ferrer was unable to check her laugh ter, she fell lifeless to the floor.
 Tuxedo Park, just outside of New York. in the weekend home of many Of Manhattan's wealthiest society leaders.
 Anyone who pretends to be anybody in Gotham's smart set Is either a mern- Der of the exclusive club at Tuxedo or else has palatial cottage there of his own. But the community has its laws like other communities and among these is one limiting the speed of auto mobiles to ten miles an hour.
 In order that he might catch offend CTS. the Chief of Police purchased a motor cycle that was designed to over take the speediest violators. The chief took few lessons on running the cy- cle and started out to arrest a few law-defying millionaires. How ever. not being thoroughly familiar with the machine he touched the wrong lever, which made it dash forth at a terrific pace. He was then unable to stop the bicycle and ran a long way into the surrounding country before he found the right lever that shut off the power.
 When the Chief returned he was ar- rested by one of his own men for 'ex- ceedtng the speed limit, and was brought into court before Judge Pierre Iorillard, a member of one of New Yorks oldest and most aristocratie families. The Judge conducted a most searching examination. and although the Chief was finally discharged, his dignity had suffered a terrific jolt.
 That there Is money in conducting q newspaper stand in New York was re- Vealed by the death of "Oid Pop" Bren- son who sold papers for twenty. years at the corner of Eighth Avenue and l56th Street. and who in that time col lected tidy fortune of $25,000 '"OId Pop was cripple. but his cheerful ness and good nature won him a host Of friends who never bought a paper of anyone but him.

Dave Saddler was a brave Confeder- ate soldier who was in a Richmond hospital, and who. in spite of his suf- terings, always took a cheerful view or the situation. One day when he was recovering a visiting minister ap- preached his cot and tendered him pair of homemade socks.

 Thank you very much" said David gravely. But I have decided that I never shall wear another pair of socks while I live.'

The voting of Tuesday may. or may not indicate that the preference of the majority of Massachusetts Republicans is for Secretary Taft In our opinion, 1t indicates neither that fact nor any contrary fact. The voters in several districts definitely declared in favor of unpledged delegates. In other districts. notably the Fourth and Fifth, they elected delegates who had expressed a preference for Taft by the side of del- egates who had declared themselves unpledged, thus indicating that the popular vote was not significant as ex- pressing any Presidential preference.

fork's commerce when 1t was handled Tn sailing vessels. before the advent of steam driven ships. were awakened tnls week by the record-breaking ar- riVai or the Pruessen, the largest sail Ing vessel of it's class in the world.
 A few trans-Atiantic liners, it is true average about twenty knots an hour, but not many exceed the record or this five-masted relic of old days which has record of nearly nineteen knots or about twenty-two miles in an hour.
 There have been ships with more masts which have recently entered New York harbor, but none in the class or the Pruessen whose peculiarity Hes in the fact that she is square rigged and has no auxiliary engine. No other ship of this class has entered the har- Dor in years.
 The record-breaking vessel has forty three separate sails in all, not count ing sparsaiis, with q spread of over eo.0o0 square feet of canvas. The length of the lower yard of this man. moth vessel Is 102 feet, while her main royal yard is 50 feet long. Her masts are three feet in thickness at the deck, and total of 5e.s25 feet, or nearly eleven miles of rope has been used in the rigging
 VI the ELK anCnorS, the largest weighs more than four tons. The ship is 4Ss feet long and 5s feet in breadth, with a tonnage of more than 11,000.
 Altogether the Pruessen is a mammoth of her class. such as has never been seen here before. and a rare reminder of the days of the clipper ship when sail-driven vessels thronged New York's harbor.
 The number of pushcarts. that Is. the movable stores on wheels, from which every kind of merchandise Is sold in New York. now exceeds the surprising total of 5000. The goods disposed of from them each year are valued at s2s.000 900.
 Indeed, the csty's itinerant push cart merchants do annually a greater business than many a thriving town. while their number exceeds the popu- lation of any of more than two-thirds of the towns and cities of the country.
 The lower east side. with 5.10s of these pushcarts peculiar to the newly arrived merchant of foreign extraction, leads all the rest, and its showing in this line would. if all the pushcarts were placed end to, end, extend more than ten miles.
 The business of supplying these nov able counters employs more than 1000 men in five large factories and has a gross revenue of more than $2,000, 900 annually. The pushcart is apparently peculiar to New York.
 Tn its simplest form. that of flat tray on wheels, 1t costs about 320. but 1t has been developed tp the point where the most elaborate specimens cost from $500 to $1.00o. The annual return to the city on these movable stores in the form of taxes, exceeds SIS. .0o0. SO that. altogether. this unique form of business Is one of large finan- cal proportions. Longacre.
