BUFFALO BILL ABROAD.

A Little Love, AfTalr-Whai the Cow Boys Think of It. {' *. J , The eucceess of “our own” Buffalo j Bill—\V. F. Cody—in England is vt-ry gratifying to his thousands of admirers • on this side. There was more truth than many imagined in his reply to the inquiry: “What are you doing in England?” “Chiefly playing poker with Duchesses.” The English nobility quickly “cottoned to” Buffalo Bill because they recognized that he belonged to a higher order than their own—Nature’s nobility. Despite his wild life he early managed to acquire an education and the polish which makes him easy even in a royal society. His polish is the bitter fruit, it is said, of a young love experience. When a young man on the plains, wild, woolly and unkempt in appearance and character, he fell in love with a dashing little school teaeber. Full of pluck and faith in himself, he proposed to her. She laughed at him ami he—collapsed. Aftef a time he braced up. bought some books, and began to study. His defeat proved his victory. The girl was his mascot, and fns successes are due to her. Magnificent specimens of manhood though they be “Bill’s bovs,” are not perfection. Under date:. Buffalo Bill’,-' Wild West Co., London, Sept. Iff. 1887,'' I D. W. Shoemaker, of the Cowboyjßand; wutee: “Some weeks ago I was suffering from great disorder of the liver and kidneys' and general prostration. I was forced to quit work and take my bed. I called in a physician, who only afforded temporary relief. A friend induced me to take Warner's safe cure, which afforded almost instant relief, and after taking three bottles, 1 find myself in as good health as at any time in my life.”

Two other members of the Wild West show, Mawe Beardsley, pony express rider, and Jim Mitchell, a cowboy, add to-thiselatement of Shoemaker’s, that in their long experience on the plains, from change of water, climate, and mode of life, and severe riding, they beeame übject to liver and kidney, diseases,and they have found a sure rem«dy for these troubles in Warner’s safe cure. Mawe Beardsley says: “I constantly recommend it to iny friends.” Buffalo Bill has pluck and courage and hard sense, and not only controls all the wild elements that make up the Wild West show, but controls himself. His experience as a scout makes him wary, discreet and shrewd. He quickly learns the best way to secure results, and. like a true man, has no prejudices against anything that proves its merits. Buffalo Bill is so popular in England he may come home a “Sir William.” But if nos he will probably enjoy himself quite as weil, having secured a fortune ample enough for all his wants, title or no title.
