[Word?] is a relief after a hard day's work in
sight-seeing to spend an evening at Buffalo
Bill's Wild West Show, and one never
grows weary of watching the wonderful
feats of horsemanship of the cowboys, Indians
and Mexicans, the no less wonderful
marksmanship of that Queen of the
Rifle, charming Annie Oakley, the wildly
exciting representation of life on the plains
in the early frontier days and the amusing
antics of the bucking bronchos. The thousands
who daily and nightly fill the vast
ampitheatre are not slow in telling others
of the great attractions found here and it is
safe to say that few who visit the exposition
grounds fail to call at this great show.
The Hon. William F. Cody is no less a true
gentleman under his familiar title of
"Buffalo Bill," by which he is known and
loved throughout the country than under
the title won in Legislative halls. Under
his broad sombrero is a level head and inside
his buckskin jacket beats a loyal and
gentle heart and no one who meets him
wonders at the place he holds in the affections
of the people.
