table were the English soldiers - the Landers, formerly of the Prince of Wales' Regiment. Then came the German soldiers, and between them and the French soldiers were the Russians - the Cossacks from Caucassia. The Arabs came next, and in the same part of the tent men belonging to the belonging to the business staff were dining.

We returned to the kitchen. And if the Humane Society could have seen that menu, and the food prepared for the expected Indians! Never again would they bother about the way Buffalo Bill feeds his Indians or other people entrusted to his care.

DINED WITH COLONEL CODY.

The savory odor made me hungry. Just as I was wishing they would invite me to dinner the curtain lifted and Colonel Cody - the famous Buffalo Bill - walked in and - I was invited to dinner. On one side was a small table set for two or three. Colonel Cody spoke to a pleasant-faced little woman who came forward and whom he introduced as Mamma Wittaker. Mamma Wittaker is everybody's mamma. She takes care of all the 400 people - gives them medicine, ties up scratches, bandages up sprains, takes care of the wardrobes, and has been with the company for ten years. She has a diploma as a physician. Everybody calls her "Mamma," and she calls them "dear." While we were eating our dinner she was called away several times to listen to the wants of different ones. After dinner we started out ot make some calls in teh camp. The first one was on the Russian prince - Prince Macharadze. He could not speak a word of English, but his manners were those of a prince. In London he received a great deal of attention. He was entertained by the Prince of Wales and also presented to Queen Victoria, which, of course, established his social position. He wore the Cossack costume, with a row of cartridges across his chest. There are about twenty-five soldiers in the different companies of the nations, and their tents are pitched as when they are in service for their own countries. Sitting Bull's tepee, or log hut, has been brought here, and near it stands the old Treasury coach - the same one that "Calamity Jane" brought into Deadwood with the driver dead by her side and two passengers killed on the inside.

The Baby Buffaloes.

I was particularly anxious to make one call, and that was on Clumbus and Isabella. They had arrived during the night. They
