next creek and coming toward me was a
herd of about thirty buffalo. The wind

across the creek and up the bank and saw
as l cautiously appeared over a friendly
knoll the last of the herd disappear down
the bank into the creek in search of an
early drink.
On the opposite bank. crouching and
crawling catlike, ! saw two animals. / have

cats in shape and action, but their bodies
seemed to mi to be four feet long and a
foot in diameter. They were large enough
to brighten the buffalo at any rate, for In a
moment, here they came. up the trail they
had descended, snortlng and believing with
terror, up the slope and toward the divide
they went for half a mile or more, and then

ESTABLISH III CIVIL SERVICE ON
SOUND PRINCIPLES.
Establish the civil service upon a founda-
ton having capacity and faithfulness for
its corner stones and the pure machinist,
the now dreaded boss will become as in
frequent and lonesome a figure in American
politics as an Indian now is in Fifth avenue.
Men will have to go to museums then to
see this great product of machine politics
and the power and control now SO often
exercised by him will pass over to the
leader who represents a principle, who
stands for a policy whose highest reward
is his country's welfare and his epitaph
"He served his country we'll" If any man
says This is a picture of the millennium"
my answer is that l wish the real millen-
mum was so within the reach of the whole
earth as this political millennium is within
the easy grasp of the American people.

It seems that every creature has it's deadly enemy, and some speci- mems many more than others. Flies are at certain seasons, usually dur ing the latter part of the summer, attacked by a parasite that fastens upon their bodies. Their favorite location is around the wings and the shoulders. These tiny creatures grow rapidly, and soon become so full of blood as to be perceptible to the naked eye. They soon exhaust the source of supply, and leave the wretched victim little more than a shell, when 1t attaches itself to some convenient place and gives up the ghost,-New York Ledger.
