Our buffalo.

We hear that the buffalo of the plains
are being rapidly killed off, and in fact
have become almost extinct. 1t is a pity
and it is a shame say we, and some law
should be passed to protect the few that
still remain. If the buffalo had been
hunted and killed as the deer and ante
lope have been, for ther meat, We would
have nothing TO say, for there would
then be no need of protesting against it,
for if no more were killed than were
needed for food they would be still
roaming our plains by the tens Of thou
sands. 1t is only a few years ago when
they were as numerous seemingly as the
sands ofthe sea or the leaves ofthe forest,
and the natural increase would in that
case have almost supplied the waste.
But as if determined to exterminate the
race in the shortest time possible, we
have marched against them with an
army of hunters, recruited from all the
cities of the east and west and not salts.
fled with that, We have invited hunters
from abroad, England, France, and in
fact all the nations of Europe have con.
tributed each their quota to help us in
the grand slaughter. Our American
hunters have killed them by the thou.
sands for their hides, and our European
allies have just killed them for the fun
Of it. We say this thing has gone too
far. 1t is time to call 4 halt to this
indiscriminating killing of the noblest
type of all the animals Of America. Our
buffalo should not be regarded as bears,
wolves, tigers, mountain lions, or other
animals of prey. The live on the grass
and are harmless as other cattle. We
appeal to every fair minded man to say
whether our government should not
take some steps to protect the few that
remain before the last brown, shaggy
remnant is made to bite the dust.

Call on Hitchcock for your tobaccos
cigars. stationery, nuts and candies.

Many Of the prospectors around Gus
ter are Of the old time order and do not
get discouraged because capitalists are
scarce and sales are slow. They 60
right on making discoveries knowing
full well that good and rich mines can
not always go crying for buyers. They
know that the Southern Hills must have
their day and the sur of their glory has
not yet arisen. Hardly a day passes but
samples of ere from new finds are
brought to our Office, some Of which are
so rich that if found in any other coun-
try, would make a strangers eyes bulge
oul with establishment.

A Problem.

In wading through our exchanges we
happened Gas bad luck would have it,
to run across the following problem:
"When walking against a heavy rain
and some wind, will / get more wet by
going fast or going slowp If | move
rapidly / certainly encounter more
drops in a given space, but / arrive at
my destination sooner. III could make
the journey, say a quarter of a mile, in
n second, | would have to encounter
all the rain between the two points.
Would l encounter any more if I walked
leisurely over the ground?"
Now, the fellow that turned that thing
loose must have done it out of pure
cussedness. He must have known we
would see it, and having seen, we would
read it, and having read it we would
commence thinking about the fool
thing, and having commenced to think
about it he knew we would never be
able TO dismiss it, or get rid Of it, until
we had sifted it, and now this is what
we have to say in retaliation. So you
want to keep dry, do you? And you
don't know whether it's the best plan
to come into the house quick or to stay
a long time out in the rain. So that's
the idea, is it? And that's what's
.fevering your ponderous brain just now.
Well, a fellow that don't know any bet
ter than that, we wont take the trouble
to advise him. Just 60 right on with
your experiment. Stay out in the rain
If you want to, dog on We, take a spin
through the wet grass and then if you
amt dry enough, meander a while
through the sun-lowers and then if that
is not satisfactory, jump into the river.
The result may be a caution to you not
to spring a thing like that again on an
transporting public.

Early in the week there was q petit
ton to the postmaster general at Wash
ington put in circulation praying for the
appointment of Mr.. L. II. Flynn as post
master at Buffalo Gap. We hope and
have no doubt that it will be almost
universally signed, as Mr.. Flynn will
make an energetic, competent and
painstaking postmaster. He is an old
settler in the country, has a wide ac-
qaintance, and those who know him
will require no further Endorsement
from US.
