Another just claimant to the title. m mat tne application of It to him antedated Its application to Cody, was vviiiiam Comstock, a native of Wisconsin who was something of a "mvs-tery man" of the frontier.

Our richest silver producer, however, is the Anaconda Copper Mining company; it obtains most of its silver from its mines at Butte, Mont Accidental discovery, in 1839, of the colossal Comstock Silver Lode, on the eastern slope of Mount Davidson la Nevada excited the whole world. The stupendous wealth it was to yield wrote a lurid chapter in the history of our West. One mine, the Gould and Curry, bought for a bottle of whisky, an old horse, some blankets and 2,500 in cash, was valued at more than $7,500,- -. 000 four years later I The singular tale of how this k Lode was found never grows old. Lured west after the California gold rush of '49 came two Irishmen, O'Riley and McLaughlin. Working for gold on their claim by the Carson river, they threw aside some heavy blue rock as worthless. Then along came Henry Comstock, a restless trapper and fur trader. Smarter than the others, he recognized the blue rock, staked a claim adjacent to theirs, and "by pure bluff Induced them to waive their rights to the rock and be content with the surface gold they found." That blue rock, rich silver ore, as' sayed nearly $4,000 a ton. find News of this epoch-makin-g spread like prairie fire, and fortune ' , hunters scrambled for claims. "Rough-haire- d gaunt mustangs, burros climbed mules, and the Sierras loaded with blankets, bacon, flour, kettles, pans and shovels," says an early geological survey report. Miners swarmed the hills. "Thin wreaths of smoke rose from hundreds of little campfires, and the sharp strokes of picks startled the lizards among the rocks." Silver Rush to Nevada. As In the gold rush, so once more city merchants shut up shop, sailors deserted their ships, and clerks quit tholr desks, swelling the army that to Nevada, where new rushed pell-metowns bloomed like mushrooms, with stands, dance the saloons, quick-lunchalls, and dives that made life lurid In the hectic, roaring camps. t. n tor men struck that clant ore hodv.

Then followed the famous the buffalo-killin- g match between Cody and Com- stock, arranged by the army officers at Forts Wallace and Hays, for "the championship of the world," and Cody, having won the match, was hailed as THE "Buffalo Bill." a title which the public soon confirmed. But this does not mean that he was "the original Buffalo Bill." Both William Matthew-so- n and William Comstock had a bet ter right than Cody to that title. The end of Matthewson Is unknown, but Comstock's career ended tragical ly a few months after his match with Cody when he fell a victim to Indian treachery In the camp of Chief Tur key Leg of the Cheyennes and another famous scout, Sharpe Grover, barely escaped with his life.

A boy peeps at another's paper How to Stop a Cold Quick as 'You .Caught It 3j For Extermination of .Worm Enemies of Bulb Certain eelworms, or nematodes, are very Injurious to narcissus and other bulbs. How to kill these worms without injuring the bulbs has been a question. Scientists of the United States Department of Agriculture found that it could be done with general success by treatment with hot water or Vapor heat Still some of the pests survived. These survivors proved to be a minority of the population which were quiescent, or taking a Rip Van Winkle nap in the bulb. The worms which were active at the time of treatment were more easily killed. Experimenting further, these scientists observed that temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, applied by either hot water or vapor heat. Induced activity among these quiescent or dormant nematodes which were resting In the bulbs. It seems, then, that growers who wish to treat bulbs with hot water or vapor heat to kill worms of this type should first keep the bulbs at a tempera ture of 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit in water or vapor for two hours to awaken the) dormant worms and stimulate them to activity. t TaWeU.

But his Journey was as nothing compared to that of Jean Baptiste Lagimoniere, a noted hunter and courier du bois In Canada. In 1815 the growing hostility be tween two great fur companies, the Hudson's Bay company and the North west company, led to a .crisis which called for quick action. Early In the winter Colin Robertson, who had charge of Fort Douglas, a Hudson's Bay stockaded stronghold in the West found it necessary to get a message to Lord Selkirk In Montreal as soon as possible and he asked Lagimoniere to carry the letter. It meant a Journey of 1,800 miles most of It through a wilderness filled with dangers of wild animals and winter storms, not to mention the presence of hostile scouts for the Northwest com pany. But the courier du bois did not hesitate a moment Leaving Fort Garry he set out on foot and headed In the direction of Peinbina. Then makWar-roaing a wide circle he traveled by Rainy River and Fort William toward Detroit. East of Detroit he was overtaken mail carrier to by a sleigh driven by a whom he felt safe in telling the story of his mission. Then the mail carrier offered to take him all the way to Montreal, provided Lagimoniere would allow him to deliver the letter to Lord Selkirk. But the courier du bois re fused, saying he had promised to th letter Into Selkirk's hands himself and he would do It or die. On and on across the wintry wastes of Canada he made his way and at Inst on New Year's eve, two months after he had left ton uarry, ne ar rived in Montreal there to receive a warm welcome from both Lord and tjidv Selkirk who were amazed at the feat of the hardy messenger.
