Vie Smith, the celebrated hunter and

this week, and in conversation with Il
journal representative he said he was
making preparations to establish his
headquarters somewhere between Beat
yer Canyon and the National Park
Such demand is being made by east
ern parties for his services as hunter
and guide that he is compelled to build
a station where he or his assistant $
may be found by parties wanting their
services.
Prof. Hornaday, the noted taXider-
mist of the Smithsonian Institute, has
engaged Vie for u two months hunt.
The professor wants groups Ot elk,
bear, deer, mount ain sheep and noun
tain goats, which he will mount Tor the
institute. As Vic knows where to find
these animals, and as he is a sure shot
he will doubtless bag the game in the
time named. His engagements cover
the season, and We promises to fur
nish the journal such accounts of his

Arkansas Traveller: did You ever
know II cyclone to make u dash at a

ture of u cyclone. When is II cyclone
happiest? When it can slip up on
some little weatherboarded town that
has just gone to sleep. Then it dances
n jig OF furious glee. II dashes ut the
court house and scatters it about the
public square; seizes the Methodist
church and slams its life out against
the town hall; wrenches the grOaning
windlass from the town well and kills
the mayor with it. and then enters
upon the frolic of general destruction.
But how does it act when it strikes a
great city, II is like the cowboy who,
having shot out the light : OF frontier
saloon and made himself master of the
place. goes to big town and piteously
becs for drink. II gathers up dust
and throws it in the eyes of the peo-
