You are more ambitious and you get more
enjoyment out of everything when your
blood is in good condition. Impurities in
the blood have very depressing effect on
the system, causing weakness, laziness,
nervousness and sickness.

10, upon which my every attention
was centered. l knew what to do
Will was on the opposite of the beast,
his rife ready for an instant shot
should anything go wrong, his horse
keeping pace with the fleeing animals,
his eyes watching their every move
ment. l gave the word to Brigham
and while Arta, strapped to my lap,
laughed and gurgled and clapped her
little hands, we galloped forward.
One great, heavy, bumped buffalo had
moved out a few yards from the rest
of the stragglers, and Will waved an
arm for me to indicate that this was
the one I should down. l turned
Brigham toward him, and the chase
began.
For nearly mile we raced, grad
ually cutting down the distance be-
tween the buffalo and myself. Then
slowly we began to overtake him.
Only few rods separated us, and
raised my revolver as though to fire.
But Will anxiously waved me down.
"'Closer!' I could not hear the
word but l could see his lips as he
framed it. Even old Brigham seemed
to understand that I was about to
roSc cfo1y hn Y
plunged forward with new speed,
cutting down the distance between
the speeding bison and myself. Soon
the distance was cut in two. Now to
a third. Again I raised my revolver
and this time Will did not object.
There was puff of smoke, the BOOM
ing of the heavy gun, and then
Then, with a thrill that I never
again shall know, I saw the buffalo
stumble, stagger a second, and fall
headlong. From behind came a wild
sound and I saw Will standing in his
stirrups and whooping like wild
Indian.
"'You've got him, mama he
shouted. 4 knew you could do it
knew it all the time"
Buffalo Bills life was crowded to
the full with adventure and he lived
to see himself become national fig
ure, idol of the youth, and the admi-
ration of his compeers. He wandered
finally to the stage, and from there to
showdom. His Wild West Show was
piece of realism from his early days.
He went to Europe and became a
friend of kings. He held four at one
time, all in a stage-coach parading
around the sawdust arena while In
dians were war-whooping about. He
sleeps now on top of Mount Lookout,
from where the visitor to his grave
can look down into four states and
into the territory he helped open to a
people.

WIVES on EASY TERMS.
In Quaint Albania the lnstallment
Plan of Purchase is Favored.

Albania, so far as | am aware, is
the only country where YOU can buy
wife on the installment plan, just as
you would buy piano or an encyclo
pedia or a phonograph.
1t is quite true that there are pjer-
" of countries where women can be
,.urchased-in Circassia, for example,
and in China, and N the Solomon
group-but in those places the pros
pective groom is compelled to pay
down the purchase price in cash, not
being afforded the convenience OF
opening an account. In Albania, how
ever, such things are better done,
partial payment on the purchase
price of the girl being paid to her
parents when the engagement takes
place, after which she is no longer
offered for sale, but is set aside, like
an article on which deposit has been
made. until the final installment has
been paid, when she is delivered to
her future husband.
Albania is likewise the only coun-
try that l know of where everyone
concerned becomes indignant if a
murderer is sent to prison. The rela-
tives of the dear departed resent it
because they feel that the judge has
cheated them out Of their revenge,
which they probably would obtain
were the murderer at large by putting
a knife or pistol bullet between his
shoulders. The murderer, of course,
objects to the sentence because he
does not like Imprisonment and be-
cause he believes that he cou.l es-
cape were he given his freedom.
If he or his friends have any mon
ey, however, the affair is usually set
tied on a financial basis, the fued is
called off, the murderer is pardoned,
and everyone concerned, save only
the dead man, is as pleased and
friendly as though nothing had ever
happened to interrupt their friendly
relations. A quaint people, the AL
banians.-Scribner

The latter case is the one which will go to the supreme court.
