"BUFFALO CHIP" JIM WANTED
TO BE LIKE BUFFALO EILL
riain Jim While was liis name, hut
along the whole western frontier he
was known as "Buffalo Chip" Jim,
a name which he carried to his grave.
He had been a boyhood friend of Buf
falo Bill, and when Cody became an
Indian scout, White also took up that
cupation. For years he was lint
s' Bill's faithful follower half-
ifvant, half-"partner." He minted
Buffalo Bill's dress, his speech and
the way he walked. lie let his hair
grow long In imitation of Cody. He
was always at the famous scout's side,
and took more care of Buffalo Bill's
guns and horses than he did 'of his
own.
Two stories of how he got his name
are told. One is this: General Sher
idan had arrived at Fort Wallace,
Kan., and was seeking Buffalo Bill to
guide him on a buffalo hunt. White
appeared and told the general that
Cody was away.
"But when Mr. Cody Is away, I'm
Buffalo Bill," declared White.
"The h 1 you are!" said "Little
Phil" with contempt. "Buffalo chips,
you mean 1" And the general stamped
away angrily.
According to the other version of
White's christening, one night at Fort
Laramie he claimed the righ.t to be
known by some other name than sim
ple Jim White, something descriptive
of his close friendship for Buffalo Bill.
"All right," said Major Morton of
the Ninth infantry, "We'll call you
'Buffalo Chips' 1"
White was with the Fifth cavalry
when It attacked Chief American
Horse's camp at Slim Buttes, S. D.,
iu the autumn of 1876. After the de
feat of the Indians, the soldiers began
hunting down little parties of Sioux
hidden In the gulches and ravines
near the edge of a cliff. Fie had
raised himself to his feet and was
ready to fire at a warrior down in

the ravine when a shot rang out.
White sprang In the air, clutched
his hands to bis breast and with the
startled cry of "Oh, my God, hoys,
they've got me!" he plunged forward
down the slope, shot through the
heart.
"A simpler-minded, gentler fron
tiersman never lived. He was mod
esty and courtesy itself, and he had
three unusual traits for men of his
class he never drank ; I never beard
him swoar, and no man ever heard
him lie," writes Gen. Charles King,
who knew him well and who saw him
die that cold September morning at
Slim Buttes.
MARRIAGE MADE A BUSINESS
Practice in France That Can Hardiy
Be Said to Savor Much of
Romance.
Anyone can marry anyone, every
one! If they have a business man
ager who knows the business.
Since the war, in France, weddings
have doubled, births increased and
deaths declined in the most astonish
ing manner.
Now, as all know, marri ige does not
necessitate a business manager the
old helter-skelter way of falling in
love by hazard will undoubtedly con
tinue very much in vogue; but if
anyone imagines that marriage is not
moving with ihe times and yielding
to business organization, they know
little of what is happening iu France
today !
Never before have girls done such
marrying in France with available
bridegrooms so reduced in number!
What is more, this organized promo
tion of marriage gives every girl a
chance despite handicaps of unac
quaintance, social disadvantage, plain
iooks, lack of money, lack of family,
lack of pushing friends to aid the
match.
Your business manager's your push
ing friend!
Helps girls to marry?
Helps men, also.
Perhaps even, more so. . . ,
You will object.
And romance?
"But the quality, monsieur, think of
the quality!" said maritime. "Durable,
solid, the best mark in France! Before
the young folks are allowed to meet,
both had, been Investigated, weighed,
compnred and balanced by social ex
perts and the pairing-off 0. K.'d in
final conference! Now, there's a mar
riage that will last. It's got good
wear in it!"

House mice have a habit of follow

naturally run need not be baited.

THE school girl was never better
provided for than she has been
this fall with practical clothes
to meet all her requirements. This
is of course a satisfaction to her, but
real joy is added to her satisfaction
when she recognizes the smartness of
the style that has been wrought Into
these practical belongings style that
gives her wardrobe the enviable flav
or of youth.
In suits for the school girl simplicity
flnd audacity are combined and they
lire piquant. For them skirts are short
i nd Coats take on small eccentricities.
Frocks are also simple, but they man
'ige to be other things demure or
jray. Sports clothes are sturdy and
frolicsome or matter-of-fact like the
O bloomer suit shown In the picture for
wear In the "gym".
For golfing, hiking or any strenuous
sport, the Knickerbocker suit is taken
. as a matter of course, both for the
schoolgirl and her elders. It is made
of rough woolens, in tan, gray or
brown, with a sleeveless coat and
often with a cape to match. There
are smart but less spirited suits of
tweed with plain skirts and mannish
coats designed for the same kind of
wear. Hats to match, or felt hats are
worn with both.
For afternoon wear and for danc
ing there are many adorably pretty
frocks for girls in their teens. Crepe
and taffeta, ribbons and embroideries
join forces in making them, and sil
houettes vary, with the close-fitting
bodice joined to a full skirt developed
In taffeta and the slim silhouette tak
ing advantuge of the clinging quality
of crepes.
