cure deafness, and that is by

is caused by an infamed condition

when it is entirely closed, Deaf

now the public hardly remembers
that he has any other title.
Buffalo BiIl' was born in Iowa
Feb. 26, 1916, and he came naturally
by his love of "aII out DOORS"
Nowadays, if you would just get
him in the right mood, he could tell
you the most wonderful stories of
hair breadth escapes and fights for
life when he was employed as guide
and a scout in the early times in this
country!
All through the troubles with the
hostile Sioux and the Cheyenne In
dams, Buffalo BiIIs' ingenuity and
bravery and knowledge of the In
dams made it possible for the white
men to gain possession Of land, and
to protect themselves against sud
den attacks.
In a personal encounter during the
battle of Indian creek, he killed 'Yel-
low Hand" the Cheyenne chief, all
alone. It was a feather in his cap
that the Indians, as well as the
whites, never forgot!
Thirty years ago, after experience
ing the most thrilling adventures of
the frontier, Buffalo BilI'' decided to
perpetuate some of the doings of In
dian days for the sake of the boys
Of today.
So he established the wild West
Show"
And there is nothing he likes bet
ter than to see boys watch with
breathIess interest the doings Of from
tier days, reproduced in his big true
tO-life show.
Col Cody is 68 years old now, but

and we know that he has spent many
months abroad, where he is believed
to have been presented to more

WILSON IS TIPPING MESSAGE ON
THE MEXICAN SITUATION
Washington, D. c., Aug. 22.-Pres.
Wilson, who is adverse to debating
and consequently does his own type
writing, today began tipping ten
tative draft of the message he pro-
poses sending to Congress upon the
Mexican situation, which will relate
in detail the negotiations conducted
through John Lind with the HUerta
government, together with the re-
plies of the latter. The message will
be the longest yet transmitted by the
president to Congress.
It is believed, although no state
ment has been made, that further
recommendations regarding the
course of this government will be
made, and it is possible that an en-
tirely new Mexican policy may be
promulgated. At this time, however,
the chief purpose Of the message is
to get before this and other nations
the exact nature of the negotiations
instituted by the present administra-
ton.
Pending presentation of the presi-
dents message, developments in the
Mexican situation are at a standstill.
Secretary Bryan has warned Pres
ident Huerta, General Carranza, the
rebel commander, and local Mexican
officials at LaBoquillo that they will
be held personally responsible if any
harm comes to Shirley c. Hulse, SON
in-law of Lieut.-GoV. Reynolds Of
Pennsylvania.

York declared such was not the
