Colonel Cody Will Retire.
Last Sunday night Colonel Cody at
tended a banquet given in Now York
to Geo. M. Cohan, at which ono thous
and guests were seated at the tables,
and in his after dinner talk the Colonel
announced his permanent retirement
from tho active conduct of, tho Wild
West show.
Tho present season will bo his fare
well tour and after that there will be
no Buffalo Bill with tho Wild West
show. And the question arises, will
the Wild West without Buffalo Bill be
n Wild West? Will tho show he created
and managed for twenty-fivo years
succeed without him who gavo it birth.
Colonel Cody did not announce what
ho would do upon his retirement. Is it
too much to presume that he will re
turn to North Platto and Bpend tho
evening of life in the companionship of
tho one who has over though estran
gedbeen loyal to him, within whom
the fire of love has never been quen
ched? And is it not fair to presume
in the light of his recent visit to North
Platte that the Colonel, in tho inner
most recesses of his heart, entertains
a similar feeling; a longing to return to
thoso who nro near and dear, and to
again mingle with those friends who in
tho pioneer days were bound to him and
ho to them by bands of steel which
through tho intervening thirty years
of time have not become corroded, but
nro as bright and strong as when first
formed?

The history of gold mining regions
ropcats itself. First we havo tho latd
worth from nothing up to a fow dol
lars an acre. Then somo ono digs a
hole In the ground to put in n post,
scoops out u cellar for n houso, or some
thing llko that, nud finds in the dirt
taken out indications of tho precious
mctnl. lie doesn't say anything to
anybody, but goes off and gets it as
sayed. The report being favorable, ho
lets It bo known thnt ho has gold ou
his property. Thoso who strike indi
cations pre-empt claim and organ
ize companies with n fow dollars cap
ltal, most of which is" spent for print
ing certificates of stock. Every foot
of tho ground in the vicinity is staked
out for mines, which cross and
rccross ono another at every conceiv
able angle. There arc thousands of
these pieces of paper, nearly nil worth
less.
When tho Clear Creek region of
Colorado was in such n stage as this
a man whom I shall call Peter Ander
son, n young lawyer from the south,
settled In Denver and hung out his
shingle. lie hnd n very frugal, pa
tient wife, who wns a renl helpmate
to hlin. She never permitted anything
to bo wasted, no matter how little val
ue It possessed, and when her hus
band rallied her on saving worthless
things she would suy cheerily, "It
may como In hnndy Just In tho nick of
time."
Tho principal law practiced in Col
orado nt. thnt time was with tho re
volver; consequently Peter Anderson
found little practice In his profession.
But money wns easily borrowed, and
tho Andersons managed to keep body
and soul' together by smnll loans. Tho
husband found It dull sitting in bis
ofllco wnltlng for clients, so ho spent
most of his tlmo In n neighboring bil
liard room playing pool. He told his
wife thnt this was n good way to make
acquaintances and thus get business.
She said she thought no was rlgut.
Tho members of such communities
nro inveterate gamblers. Refresh
ments and tho price of the game wero
to bo pnld for by tho loser. In addi
tion to this, the players, nil of whom
wero possessed of worthless mining
stocks, would put them up to bo ab
sorbed by the winner. A number of
theso certificates came Into Tctcr An
derson's possession, but none of them
over found their way buck to tho per
sons from whom ho won them. Every
night after he had gone to sleep his
wife would get up, senrcli his pockets,
take out what mining shares ho found
there and lock them up In nn old trunk
she kept In the garret. She never
looked at the names of the companies
they represented or bothered her head
ns to their value. Indeed, they were
worthless or they would not havo como
so easily Into her husband's possession.
Every night his, pockets wero searched
and emptied, -but in the morning he
would not miss his loss. If his wlfo
had taken a few coins he might havo
noticed It, but mining stocks wero
quite a different matter. When he
went round to tho billiard room In the
evening he would think that ho had
won somo shares tho night before, but,
finding none In his pocket, fancy he
hnd been mistaken. Ho was n very
good pool player and had no difficulty
in borrowing a few shares to begin on.
Usually ho would win, pay off the loan
and go on playing on his own capital.
If ho left tho plarc with stocks In his
pocket, the next mornlug they would
bo deposited, ns usual, In Mrs. Ander
son's trunk.
But the pool players didn't bring
Anderson any law business, and the
wolf was continually Hiiarllng about
his door, However,1 the wolves In
such communities are UHiially coyotes,
comparatively harmless, for any man
will gjye or lend any other man If he
has anything he doesn't need nt the
moment. Nevertheless Anderson's con
dition was not attractive, and except
when ho was-plnying pool ho was very
dispirited.
Ono day there was a big strike up on
Clear creek. A mining .company had
opened a vein. flint paid many hun
dreds of dollars to lio ton. Peter
Anderson when ho went home that
night told his wife about Hie strike,
remarking, "Oh. how I wish I had
some of the stock of the company!"
"I think you have, dear," said Mrs.
Anderson, nud she went up to her
trunk and brought down an armful of
mining share certificates. The two
sorted them, lusglug (hem when ex
amined on (ho lloor lu their eager huut
for the oue they coveted. Presently
they camo to a leu sharo certificate
which alone would keep them for
awhile. Then a fifty share turned up,
then another ton, then n hundred, flrp
hundred Indeed, all denominations. It
was a good while before they got
through tho accumulated pile. Wheu
they did they figured up shares lu tho
lucky -company sufficient to givo them
n fortune of half a million dollars.
When (he excitement of tho find hud
died down a bit Anderson asked bis
wife where suo had got, all tho ccrtlfl
cates. Then sho told him that she
had robbed hint of them, thinking that
somo of thorn might some day como In
hnndy.
Anderson strolled downtown the
next day, sold a few shares of his
stock and wont about paying small
debts. That was (he last of his play
ing pool for mluln; stocks, for he
found plenty to do. Tho day camo
whon he was sxyt to rcijresojit .-bU
