This Is the l.-.st week pa and I will bo in the far wvst looking for freaks for the wild west department of our show for next ear. Next week, if pa lives, we shall be back under the tent, to see the show close up the season. and shake hands all around with our old friends, the frvaks, the performers, the managers and all of em. It will be a glad day for us. for we have had an awful time out west. If pa would only take advice, and travel like a plain, orulnary citizen, who is willing to learn things, it would be different, but ho wants to show people that he knows 11 all. and he wants to pose as the oa- to give information.

in a blind, like the German emperor 1 and have the game driven to him They gave pa two big revolvers, loaded with blank cartridges. I know, be cause I beard (hem whlsier about Ii the night before, and they gave him u peek measure of aalt and told him kg

they told him it was to salt the hide.

pa to wait for buffalo was where- they

salted the animals once a week, and

started to tell pa. but the rancher called me off and told me I could go

with the men and help drive the game

to destruction.

We waited until the ranchman had

gone out with pa and got him nicely

concealed, the way they conceal Em

peror William when he slaughters

stags, and pa looked as brave as any emperor as he got his two big revol

vers ready for an emergency. The

ranchman told pa that he had twelve shots In the revolvers, and he better begin firing when the big bull came over tho ridge, on the trail, at the

head of the herd, and as the animal

advanced, as n no doubt would, to

keep firing un.ll the whole 12 shots were fired, and then If the animal was

not killed, to use his own judgment as to what to do. whether to run for the house, or lay down and pretend to

be dead. Pa said he expected to kill the anl mall berore throe shots had been fired

Pa was a sight.
