Paying Tribute.

The New York Times records an amusing example of esprit de corps. When Col. Nate Saulsbury was touring Europe with the Wild West Show, in which he Is partner with Buffalo Bill, he arrived in due course of time at Madrid. The first thing he noticed In a public square was a colossal statue of Christopher Columbus. Colonel Saulsbury looked at the statue with some Interest, but he confesses to being surprised when he saw Maj. John M. Burke, the advance agent of the show, take off bis hat and kneel before the statue. “What In the world are you doing there, John?” he asked. “Paying my respects to the great original advance agent,” replied Major Burke.
