The Last Texas Buffalo.

while on a recent visit to the DEVILS Run

nent ranchman, 81 saw a buffalo head which
had been killed so recently that, although ex-
posed to the action of the elements, the hair
was still on it, and believe that, excepting
possibly half dozen head in Charles Good
nights panhandle pasture, the last Texas buf.
falo has been slain Ten years ago they
roamed the west in thousands, and today
there is not one left. They were totally ex-
terminated, or believed to have been totally
exterminated, about 1882, and for six years
thereafter not one was seen in the Devils river
region Recently, however, a cowboy in rid
ing the range saw one. 1t was an old bull
which had evidently nearly reached the buf.
falo's age limit. He was seen on the enor.
nous divide between the Colorado river and
the Rio Grande, which is really the backbone
of western Texas. He was browsing in lonely
grandeur on the side of grassy hill He had
not seen one of his kin for half decade.
Anxious to deserve the name of Staying the
last Texas buffalo the man shot him. His
skin is now kept as trophy on the ranch.
The old bull is described as an animal of ire
nendous size and had a very fine coat. 1t is
more than likely that each and all of the herd
which he formerly led met the death which
overlook him after years of solitude.-San

The political ennncipation-of women, says
the great Russian writer, Stepniak, is CUES
ton Of the future. BUTT is easy to foresee
that, when the time comes, they will not lack
male supporters Of their rights; for our
women have certainly done as much as our
men in THE terrible struggle for the emanci-
patton Of the country. The name Of Sophia

sands of unknown women WHO have persisted

FORTUNES FAVORITE.

He was happy -go-lucky fellow, my uncle
Col Edouard Griffard He was ever ready
to risk his life, to take any chance, and chance
seemed always to favor him Among his
comrades he was known as fortunes favorite
AT the age Of 40 he was colonel Of a regi
ment of hu,sars, sand an officer of the Legion
of Honor. He had an income Of 600 francs,
enough to enable him to hive well and main
tain his position, but not enough to tempt
him to relinquiSh his military careeN He
was high spirited, brave as a lion, and we'll

sophical, 'acceptin9swithout a murmur the
fatigues andF priyatjons Of a campaign, and
enjoying to their full the pleasures and ad
vantages Of life in garrison. He. had fought
in the Crimea in Africa, Italy and Mexico,
escaping with only two Insignificant scratches.
He had an iron constitution that enabled him
to endure suffering that would have killed an
ordinary man
Such was my uncle Edouard when, in 1869
it was our fortune. to be in camp together at
Chalons, where his regiment, which had been
decimated by yellow fever, had been ordered.
He was not more than six years my senior,
and he loved me as though | were younger

One day.1 was dining at his mess, and while
we were over our coffee the sergeant entered
and handed him letter. He looked at the

He tore open the envelope, from which fell

and gazed at it a moment with look of ad-

Carrying the Mail at Low Rates.

The mail route between this place and
Bridgewater, a distance of six miles, appears
to be star route that does not need a con-
greSsional investigation, but does deserve
some notice. For the last four years it has
cost Uncle Sam only four cents for a daily
mail service on this route, and for the ensu-
ing four years one cent isto pay for the same
service If warrants are drawn quarterly
they will call for only one-sixteenth Of a cent
each, and the contractor will have to wait
four years, or until he has received sixteen
warrants, before he can draw his cash. VIII

The Say to Resi-

Many women never rest: rney seem not
to understand wlrat.rest, real rest, means. To
throw ones self down with a newspaper or
book is not rest; it is only change of occu-
patton. To So down and keep the fingers
flying over some, sort of fancy work, as if
one were pursued by demon of unrest, is
certainly not rest. But to lie at full length on
hard surface; arms extended at the sides,
head back, with no pillow, eyes closed, all
cares and worries dismissed, this is rest; this
will smooth away wrinkles in the face and in
temper; this will give an air of repose to the
tired, anxious, nervous woman; this Will take
away many an ache and straighten out the
rounded shoulders and craned out necks.-

The Work of a Fieni.

San Francisco, Ca, September IS
Giant powder enough to destroy the entire
Deighbo hood was uUearihed by James
Haskins as he was digging on his lot, and
the story of his find has just come out. The
property is in the most precipitous districts
in the city, and Hsskins sought to level
OF the ground. His method met with
strong objections from the neighbors, and
il is supposed some of these adopted des-
perate game to get Fl skins out of the way
and blow up his property. As Haskins
was working about the place with pick,
he ppturned what looked like a stick OF
candy. On looking closer, he saw the word
'giant" stamped on it. His heart stood
still for a moment as he realized ii was
giant powder. Three dynamite bombs
and tive tyrone sticks of gunpowder we're
unearthed within short compass. This
was turned over to the police, who have
since been at work on the case without
satisfactory results. Across the street
nearly 700 children were at school, and
had chance blow from Haskins' pick ex-
ploded the giant powder, half the families
at that end of town would have been in
mourning.

A Fire Breaks Out at the Inter

The Main Hall Entirely Con-
sumed and the Costly
Exhibits Go Up
I'm Smoke.

ST. Joseph, No., Sept. 10. AT 1880
O'Clock last night. fire broke out 10 the
main building of the New Era exposition,
and all efforts to stop lis pr.gress were un-
awaiting.
The entertainment had just closed In the
am oitheater when The alarm was sounded
from the main halt, where all the most
valuable EXHIBITS were placed. The build
ing is an immense structure, LOO feet in
length and was filled to Overlooking with
valuable goods. The entire binding and
contents were consumed in spite of all the
fire departing Mt could do.
The exposition grounds are miles from
the city and the fire department could not
reach the building with their hose and city
water.
1t is understood that the fire was started
by electric light wires, but the details are
so meager that it is impossible to learn the
exact truth now.
Everything in the main building, except
the carriage Shich was built to convey
General Lafayette during his visit to this
country in 1924, was lost.
There was fully 5000 people on the
grounds when the fire broke out, but there
we're no causalities, I'D everyday got
away without a semblance Of panic. The
loss is difficult to estimate on account OF
The character of the contents, which was
not valued frcm a commercial estimate.
Il is thought that he entire loss will be
covered By $500, 900. but it may fall far
below that amount The exposition will
be continued, but il will be shorn of its
most attr active features in The main hall.
At ] o'clock this morning the FIRE was
still burning, bu: was under control.
The steel car sent from Boston was TO-
