There are two things that the American
people hunger for when they go to amusements;
one is novelty, the other lively action.
Both of these they get in large quantities at
Buffalo Bill's Wild West, at Sixty-third
street, opposite the entrance to the world's
fair. One hour's stroll through the camp
watching and studying the home life of the
Indians, cowboys, Russians, Bedouin Arabs,
soldiers of various nations, and others is an
object lesson for every one and is one of the
most absorbingly interesting sights in the
city, even at this time, when all the world is
contributing to Chicago's closure.
