'I lie successof "our own" Buffalo Bill- W. F. Cody - In England is very gratifying to his thousands of adnilrers on this slde. There was more truth than niany imagIned ín his reply to tlio Inqulry: "Wliat are you doing in England?" "t'hiefly playing poker witl) Duchesses. " The Engllsh noblllty quickly "cottoned to" Búllalo Bill becauso they recognlzed that lie belonged to a higber order than their own - Nature's noblllty. Despite bis wild lifehc carly managed to acquire an educatiou and the polish which makcs him easy even in royal society. llis polish is the bitter fruit, it Is said, of a young love experience. When a young man on the píalos, wild, woolly and unkempt in appearance and character, ho feil in love with a dashing little school teacher. Full of pluck and faltb himself, he proposed to her. She laughed at him and he - collapsed. A f ter a time ho braccd up, bought some books and began to study. llis defeat proved his victory. The gil] was hismascot, and his suceesses are duo to her. Hagnificent specimens of manhood though they be "Bill's boys" are not perfection. Under date: "Buffalo Bill's Wild West Co.,London, Sept,li, 1887,"D. W. Shoemaker of the Cowboy Band writes: "Some weeks ago I was suffering from great disorder of the liver and kidneys and general prostration. 1 was forced to quit work and take my bed. 1 called in a physician, vvho only afforded temporary relief. A friend induced me to take Warner's safe cure, wblohaflorded almost instant relief, and after taking three bottles, I find myself in as Rood health as at any time in my life. " Two other members of the Wild West show, Mawe Beardsley, pony expresa rider, and Jim Mitchell, a cowboy, acid to t liis statement of Shoemaker's, that in their long experience on the plaius. from chauge of water, climate, and mode of life, and severa ridiug, they became subject to liver and kidney diseases. and they have found a sure remedy for these troubles in Warner's safe cure. Mawe Beardsley says: "1 constantly recommcnd it to my friends. " Buffalo Bill has pluck and courage and hard sense, and not only contiols all the wild elements that make nji the Wild West show, but conlrols himself. His experienee as a scout makes bim wary, discreet and shrewd. He quickly learns the best way to secure resnlts, and, like a true man, has no prejudices against anything that proves its mcrits. Buffalo Bill is so popular in England he may come home a "Sir William." líut i t not he will probably enjoy liimself quite as well, having secured a fortune ampie enough for all his wants, title or no title.
