Musk Oxen Drive Off Hungry Wolf Packs

Of all the BtranRe animals of North America the musk ox Is one of the queerest and most interesting, says William T. H rnaday In the Youth’s Companion. First of all, it Is a true connecting link between wild cattle and sheep. It is able to live and thrive In cold arctic regions, even up to the farthest north for hoofed animals, the most northerly point of Greenland. It

BUFFALO BILL IN BBONZE ON GUARD

Statue of Fajrrjous Scout Will

Be Unveiled at Cody

in July.

little town of Cody will come upon a bronze statue of the famous cowboy for whom the town was named—an equestrian statue, mounted on a granite terrace and silhouetted against the sky, the rider gazing westward to the

Rockies.

A remarkable figure was Col. William F. Cody, better known as Ruffulo Bill; a man whose life was filled with adventure. He was, at various times, a rider of the I’ony Express when that was the only connection between the ranches and the rest of the world; a stage driver, a cowboy, a hunter, a guide, and an army scout. He engaged in fights with the Indians, in buffalo stampedes, and in thrilling old-fash-ioned round-ups. He always wore “shootin’ Irons” and seldom missed a target, even when it was in swift motion. He was thoroughly familiar with every nook and cranny of the Western plains, and mountains, and hud hunted

over almost every mile. Great Bison Hunter.

They called him Buffalo Bill because of his record iu shooting those great beasts, the American bison. He killed more than 4,000 in a year and a half. In fact, the slaughter was so great that it caused a protest. The meat was not wasted, however, for at that time the Kansas Pacific railroad was in

fiesh looks and tastes like beef. It lias next its body a dense coat of soft, woolly hair oi through this grows a coat of very long, straight brown hair, like that of the Tibetan yak. It has a tail so short and small that the animal seems tailless. Its supply of “musk” and lt^ “musky” odor are both wholly

Imaginary.

For thousands of years the musk ox herds have been preserving their calves from the hungry wolf packs of the North by i lost excellent military strategy. When wolves threaten a herd It at once forms a compact circle, with the adult bulls and cows standing shoulder to shoulder In the outer circle, and with all the calves and young stock Inside. Even to hungry wolves that circle of deadly down-drooping horns Is Impregnable. A bull may leave his place for a moment to rush out 30 yards or so in on effort to puncture a wolf, hut he never is lured too far. Back he goes to the circle, backs Into his place nnd plays the game to the end.

course of construction and the buffalo meat was distributed to the workmen

for food.

Wild riding and Mg-game shooting pall a bit as one grows older, so Colonel Cody capitalized bis experiences by organizing a Wild West show. In bis later days he did his cowboying more or less by proxy. But, ah, the thrill when the great Buffalo Bill himself rode out into the arena! How small boys adored his splendid riding and his handsome figure! The gay trappings of the show, the bucking bronchos, the gallant cowboys, the yelling Indians—well, even grown-ups enjoyed his dramatization of the West

of pioneer days.

It was the traveling show that made Buffalo BUI popular in eastern America and in Europe. That show was an education in the thrills and hardships ^ of frontier life; It gave vivid pictures . of the difficulties of the early pathI tinders of the nation, and Ulnstrated j the courage of pioneers and scouts. I The Fourth of July this year is the day chosen for the unveiling of the new statue. The ceremony will be a part of the program of the Cody Stampede, an exhibition of horsemanship nnd the prowess of the cowboys given yearly by the people of the neighboring ranches. F r three days Main street is a mttss uf life and color, cowboys In chaps and colored shirts, cowgirls in broad-brimmed Hats and picturesque riding lollies, Indians in gay blankets. For throe days visitors can almdSt believe that the spirit of the old West has taken possession of Wyoming again, because all the fea-

tures of the ’70s are present

Mrs. Whitney's Statue,

Colonel Cody’s granddaughter, Miss Jane Cody Garlow, will unveil the bronze horseman, which Is the work iff Mrs. Qarry Payne Whitney. Standing 15 feet high and mounted at a conmyuiding altitude above the surrounding country, Buffalo Bill guards i be trail. The statue Is considered < no of Mrs Whitney’s best pieces of work. No pains were spared to achieve perfection in every detail; a horse was sent from the old Cody ranch in order that the proper type of model should be available—Jast such a horse as the cowboy used to ride. Smoky, flu* model for the statue, was shipped East, and Mrs. Whitney chose the type of rider she wanted and then had the two go through their paces In Central park, while she studied each gesture and poae, selecting and rejecting time and again before she found what she believe, would convey best

A well-kndwn man of letters once confessed that he had consistently shirked the rdeal of marriage because it Involved what was to him a still greater ordeal, that of proposing. And there were at least a score of women known to Oils man and his friends who taould have been only too glad to have been led to the altar by him. That none was destined to be so escorted was due, simply and solely, to his rooted aversion to proposing. An actor, (famous In his day, once declared th^t Ills reason for remaining a bachelor was that he preferred breakfasting in absolute peace and

quietness.

Hid From Lightning A thunderstorm was approach,ng and a group of Jennings county women began talking of the laughable things people do to guard against lightning. The honors went to Mrs. Henrietta Elliot of North Vernon. She turned to u former pupil and said, “Alice, you must remember the time a terrible storm came up In the afternoon nnd lightning struck several trees right close to the schoolhouse. I got so scared I pulled the door back to hide myself the best I could, and took off my steel hoopsklrt I’’—Indianapolis News.

Doing One’s Duty Take good care of disagreeable duties. Attend to these first. Never select the things that you want to do, and shirk upon others the things that you do not wont to do. Choose the disagreeable things you will get In your manhood. You cannot grow In any other way so fast. You may be angry with some shiftless man, who Is willing to put on you work that he ought to do himself, but you cannot afford to be unfaithful because somebody else Is.-—Henry Ward Beecher.
