Wlio knows but thai in tho dim vistas or tho future, when mankind is Hashing his pleasures and pastimes, moos utid vicisi tudes, through ethereal spaco, to his pluneluriini neighbors on Mars, Vonus or .Jupitor, that tho great password of friond ship will be: 'Arc you u Buffalo'i"' "Tno Buffulo is dead! Long flvo tho Buffalo!" From timo immemorial tho wild and woolly Buffalo, the ono tlmo monarch of tho boundless Western prairie, has furnished thomes for literary minds to ponder over. Tho bard nas im mortalizod him in lyricB of ro manco and epic poems. Tho oroojouB novelist, of tho yellow back variety, has laid his fear Jess charuclor bare to rising generations, until his name is a household synonym for every--thing noble in tho animal king dom tho world over. Cities .jgr.pro named for him, and oven tho "Two littlo girls in- bluo" song writer could not but udd his littlo mito toward tho porpot uity of hiB kingly namo when ho fienncd tho beautiful and classic ines pf . "Lot mo off at Buffalo!" With tho Buffalo went tho In dlan tho noblo redman, that Longfellow has so gloriously immortalized. Ono was always closely associated with tho other closor than Castor and Pollux. In fact, tho Indian ato tho Buffulo. Now, both aro dying; but the Buffalo must live! So must tho Indian! Tho organization Is sturtcd, and liko a cyclone it is sweeping -tho cafos with everytning beforo jt. If, perchance, you aro resting your ombonpointagainst tho pol ished mahogany bar of a hospit able cafe, tickling tho palato auti pleasing tho innor man witli some rejuvenating and invigora ting bovornge, and you aro 'sud denly called to earth by a re sounding whack on tho back, accompanied by a shout. "Aro you a Buffalo?" just finish drink fng what you have beforo you, force a smile upon your face and stand perfectly immovable. You are simply being initialed into 4ho mystories of the now organi ration. This is fun for tho other fel low. If you don't show tho ig norance) of tho conditions which surround you, you immediately ploco yourself in tho light of a good fellow and your turn will soon como to reciprocate upon como other fellow. At lirst you may look upou it as a joke. This erroneous idea will shortly bo dispelled, wl'.en, it you do not watcli closely, you aro from forco of ignorance compelled to pay for everything in sight. One of tho reasons the cafe has for living is to pluco its gen orous readers upon a footing of intelligence upon all matters pertaining to places where dull cares aro thrown to tho winds, and whoro vloisUudes and trial are for the time forgotten. Catarrh poisons the blood, irritates the nerve-colls and causes aches and pains in the tem ples, eyes, brain and spinal cord.

Its birth wus tho outcomo of a joke among a jovial party of good follows, in an oxuboraneo of good spirits and good fellowship. No mom Dor can be happy in tho organi zillion unless ho is u good fellow. It is a joko no longer. Hearken to iis mystories! Evory now Buffalo, who becomes such by paying eleven cents, .n monthly installments, must obligate him self by swearing, with both hands raised above his head, in tho attitudo of u person being garroted, to promote the "cons" converse, convivality, congenial ity, contentment and continue (to buy). Tho order is strictly non-sec tariun, and past conditions of servitude arc not inquired into. You may wait to bo initiated, or you may imagine yourself a member, in casoyou haven't tho requisite olovon cents, at your pleasure Then start in with your friends, and subsequently consult tho "Big Buffalo." for information concerning this mys terious individual any communi cntion forwarded to this office will lio promptly acknowledged Many differences exist bo tweon tho "Order of Buffaloos" tvpd other secret organizations. For Instance, tho inystorlous 1'oathaB been eliminated und in his stead has been substituted the "dou"andtho "duck," It is considored much moro digni lied und at tho sumo timo more satisfactory to tho membors to 'rush the growlor" or '"ohuso tho duck" than to straddle tho rrftrtt lm1 if nlcn hue !L mnrfi lflcst. ing impression. It must be homo in mind Unit a young Buffalo buck must, when in tho altitude of imbibing, in variably use his loft hand in lifting tho glass. This stringent rule has its advantages, when it is considered that with tho right hand "Sleepers" lying about on the tablo or bar can be eonliscut cd with much more dexterous precision and with less likelihood of detection, to &ay nothing of enabling ono to keep his hand upon the change pocket of his coat without occasioning offonso. This rule is considored to bo tiio easiest one in tho ritual to re member. The reason for this is tliat when your fellow mem bors discover the mistake you havo made, it is again "up to you," und so on until you havo become "bar broken. Tho rules of the order aro contagious. Even tho "grip" is catching. You cannot bo a mem ber in good standing until you know what tho "grip" is, and when ono person is observed passing another tho "grip" it will bo sufficient evidence that they aro Buffaloos. It is less difficult to distinguish a mihulo along about midnight than under tho light of tho sun, from the manner in which lie climbs tho stairs to tho elevated railroad; or tho way ho wears Ins silk hat; or his strides, which aro peculiar to himself. When you aro in doubt us to the standing of a Buffulo buck, hurl these questions at him in rapid succession, not giving him time, between, to answer1 "Aro you a Buffalo?" "Whence came tho BulTlaoes?" "What are the duties of u Buf falo?" "Give mo the grip of a Buffa lo." If ho scowls ut you, calls you names and walks away to anoth er part of tho cafo, you may know ho is not a member of tho ordor in good standing. Remombor, and don't get mad whon you get the slap on the back! Start right in and be a Buffalo. "Tho Buffalo is dead. Long live tho Buffalo!" Charlie Furquhur wants your trado in tno livery lino.
