In these days of the oncoming au tomobile It la sometimes Interesting to pause to consider the horse, that noble animal, which baa been char acterised as ("man's best friend," His important Msltlon among - the na tions of the earth Is easily demon strated and this fact la best made known In Buffalo Bill's Wild West, where he cuts a most essential fig ure. The Rough Rider contingent itb Colonel Cody'a exhibition com- irises equestrian experts from all atlons, arrayed In native coatumes nd performing horseback feats ac- irding to their Individual methods I employed In their own countrlea. o witness all these boraemen on heir native heath one would be 'ompelled to travel the world over, 'or there are Cossacks from Russia, avalrymen from Japan, Guachos 'rom South America, Bedouin Arabs, Royal English Dragoons, Irish Lan ders, German Cuirassiers, Mexican Yaqueros and our own native Indian cowboys and western girls. Each of these nationalities have saddle meth ods of their own. They range from the reckless daring of the Cossack to the stately grace of the English cavalryman. The Cossack la the most reckless of all riders. What seems almost a clrcua performance Is to him merely a drill. The wild looking fellowa stand up In their stirrups, stand in their saddles, stand ert their shoulders, stand on their h.-ads their horie galloping mad ly the while and.whlrl their awords until they look like bu-aaw. Con trasted with th'- exhibition, the mil itary bearing of the German, Eng lish and Amer.ijin cavalryman may seem tame, b a P. all adds to the composite plcti'ro of horsemanship which haa as lis chief exponent that knight of the saddle. Buffalo Bill, who twice dally, rain or ahlne, leads his cavalcades through the most re markable performance ever present ed In public. KILLS IX WIFE'S NAMK. ALBION, Okla., Sept. 16.

Though ac cused by his wife of having lived for months off her earnings as an actress, Prince Robert de Broglie, whose matrimonial adventurea were aired In France and in the United Statea a few years ago, haa aban doned his spouse and her child and announced his Intention to bring a suit for divorce against her. The Princess de Broglie Is an Am erican woman. Her maiden name waa Eatella Alexander, and she lived in San Francisco. She was the di vorced wife of Sidney D. Belt when she married the prince In Chicago In 1906. Tbe prince'a father was opposed to this union, and he suc ceeded in having the Chicago marri age declared void by a French court. Following this action the prince re-. married Miss Alexander under the French law. When the princess waa aeen at bed home today she was Intensely in dignant at what she characterized as the "cruel and cowardly act" of her husband. She said that the charge made by her husband was baseless, and that It had been simply trumped up by the prince, who doubt less wanted to rid himself of his American wife for the purpose of marrying another woman or to ef fect a reconciliation with his family. Continuing, the princess declared that ahe had supported her husband by her earnings on the stage this summer. While at Ostend singing under the name of Manitza ahe sent remittances regularly to the prince, who waa Idling away hla time at Chamounlx and other resorts. Just before he returned to Paris she sent him a considerable sum of money. When he returned home August .1. the princess said she noticed cold ness on his part and taxed him with it. He thereupon left the house and told her to call upon his lawyer If she wanted an explanation. This the princess did and was told that her husband had left her forever and that he intended to bring action for divorce. He claimed that the amount of her last remittance to Chamounlx proved that ahe had obtained the money dishonorably. The princess replied that even had this money been obtained improper ly which she denied, the prince had not hesitated to accept It. The princess describee her posi tion as desperate. She Is besieged by creditors and has not a penny to support herself and baby. Her only hope Is to secure another engage ment on the stage. FIND INFANT DEAD. PORTLAND, Or., Sept. 16.
