West Pays Final Tribute
to Memory of Buffalo Bill

Denver, Colo, Jan. 15. - The West
yesterday paid honor to the memory
of Colonel William f. Cody (Buffalo
Bid, while the body of the man who
had done so much to make her cities
possible, lay in state beneath the huge
dome of the Capitol, from the f1agpole
of which the Stars and Stripes fioated
at half-mast. Troopers from Fort Lo-
gan formed lines in the rotunda of the
Capitol, through which passed the
Governors of two States, delegations
from the Legislatures of those States,
officers of the United States army,
members of fraternal organizations of
which the famous scout and plainsman
was a member, veterans of the Grand
Army of the Republic, women and
thousands of children, as they moved
slowly and misty-eyed by the bronze
casket that held all that was mortal
of him whose name and the West are
one. Not the least conspicuous among
the mourners were a handful of old
Indians and former scouts-those who
had been youths in the famous Wild
West Show which bore Colonel Cody's
pseudonym.
The body was dressed in the frock
coat, on which were pinned the badges
of the Legion of Honor and the Grand
Army of the Republic. The coffin bore
the inscription, Colonel william F..
Cody, Buffalo BILL"
Several thousand persons followed
the remains to the Elks' Home where
the funeral services were held. Sew
eral hundred, unable to gain admis-
sion, stood two hours outside to view
the body at the close of the services.
Later the body will be placed in a
rock-hewn vault at the summit of
Lookout Mountain at Golden.

perience in the work he is conducting

Autographed Letter Shows
the Kaiser Had Peace Step
in Mind October 81

Amsterdam, Jan. Is. - via London
- The Norddeutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung, publishes the following auto
graph letter from the German en-
peror to Chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg dated October 81. 1916:
'My dear Bethmann: I have since
been turning over our conversation
thoroughly in my mind. 1t is clear
that the peoples in the enemy coun-
tries, who are kept in hard endurance
of the war by lies and frauds and de-
luded by fighting and hatred, possess
no men who are able or who have
the moral courage to speak the word
which will bring relief - to propose
peace. What is wanted is a moral
deed to free the world, including neu-
trais, from the pressure which weighs
upon all. For such a deed it is neces-
sary to find u ruler who has q con-
science, who feels that he is respons-
ible to God, who has q part for his
own people and for those who are his
enemies, who is Indifferent to any pos
sible wilful misinterpretation of his
act and possesses the will to free the
world from its sufferings
have the courage. Trusting in
God, l shall dare to take this step.
Please draft notes on these lines and
submit them to me and make all
necessary arrangements without de-
law"

Pride of the Cowboys Has Passed
Away-A Local Tribute
~. r. Miller, an aged veteran ot
Post 116, G. A. r., sends the Tele-
graph the following lines which he
says were composed and written upon
the spur of the moment."1
Gone, but not forgotten,
No danger did he fear,
He would always bid you welcome,
And meet you with good cheer,
He was very unassuming,
And never put on style,
He would grasp you by the hand,
And on you cast a smile.
One of the finest horsemen,
That ever backed a steed,
Sure none could him excel,
No matter what the speed.
He was q famous rife shot,
None finer in the land
When Codys rife cracked,
His Quarry bit the sand.
He was ever restless,
And always on the trail,
No matter what the mission,
He was never known to fail.
Uncle Sam would always call on him.
To lead forlorn hope,
He was the only White Man,
Who could with the Redskins COPE
One of the greatest pioneers,
None better in the land,
He never shirked duty,
For Cody had the sand,
He would lead a train of emigrants,
Across the desert plains,
He braved the hostile Indians,
And feared no wind or rain.
Once employed by railroads
To him 1t was a treat.
He killed off all the Buffaioes,
And fed the men tough meat.
have seen him in his manhood,
Stand upon the stage,
When all the Gallery Gods,
Would go off in q rage.
have seen him on his noble steed
Ride across the field,
When at his rifle crack
A glass ball then would yield,
have seen him ride upon the street.
The envy OF them all,
And now we miss that cfieftlan
He has answered TO Roll Call
Just a few more years of waiting,
And the time will come to all
When every veteran soldier
Must answer last Roll Call.
With footsteps getting feeble,
Our locks have all turned gray,
| Just a few more years of sorrow
| Then, for us no Pension Day.

! Not only from a military training

"the discipline of camp life will make
them more regular in their living as
citizens. They are healthier. Fat men
have become lean, and lean men have

of service. In our entire division num-
bering 1909 men we had but four

appendicitis and other ills.

the manner in which they ordered
supplies of clothing. Some soldiers
would not buy a new uniform, unless

they saved, averaging about $33, will
come to them when mustered out. For
instance, some men will come home
with four or more pairs of shoes.
| These shoes cost them S2.S1 pair.
You know what it costs for a pair of
shoes here. Soap. blankets, under
wear, combs, safety razors, in fact,
the best that can be had was furnished
at small cost.
Discipline was a big factor in maxi
ing healthy soldiers. They were sup
piled with lighthouses and required to
take at least four baths each week.
The food was good and plentiful, the
exercise beneficial, and on a whole the
training a big success"
