which will attract foreigners when they are tired of staring at the Italian gentleness of faulties outlines and evidences of superb culture. They will bring up at the Cody show every time and they will find Americans real Americans, there--if not in the audience, in the performance.

How a heroic statue of Buffalo Bill, with his magnificent physique, picturesque accounterments and scout impetuousity, would, have stood out among the dulcet elegances of foreign art! Clad in fringed deer skins-- than which not Grecian drapery is more genuinely graceful and artistic--with the high boots which typify hardhip and the country's savage estate, his inseparable gun, fiery horse and incomparable herent pose!

Cody is one of the most imposing mr in appearance that America ever grew in her kindly atmosphere. In his earlier days a hint of the border desperado lurked in his blazing eyes and the poetic fierceness of his mien and coloring. Now it is all subdued into plesantness and he is the kindliest most benign gentleman, as simple as a village priest and learned as a savant of Chartreuse. I have just left him in his beaded regalia (which is not dress, but rest for him) and I do not think I ever spent a more delightful hour. His history, teeming with romance, is familiar to everybody in two continents, but his social personality is known to a favored few, in which treasured category I herewith enroll myself. All the gray that has been thrust into his whirlwin life has centered itself in the edges of his beautiful hair. For the rest he is ruddy, straight as the sturdiest buck in is troupe and graceful as an eagle. He talks in the quaint mountaineer language which robs English of all its proper crudities. It is a lazy, melodious sort of drawl tremendously fascinating and unapproachable exept by a thoroughbred trapper, a cool soldier and American westerner.
