Buffalo WaIIows.

The buffalo WallOWs" in the early
times nearly always contained water
unless after long and protraoted
drOuth, The bottom of these wallows
were impervious to water percolation,
and held water long after the rains had
ceased. The trampling Of the soil by
the feet of the buffalo hardened the
basin and readily held the rainfall. 1t
is said the male bufaloes paved out
these wallOws during their watch over
the calves, to protect the newly-born
against hungry coyotes. But it is per
tiuent to suggest that the buffalo had
other than a pateFnal regard for the
offspring. It seems that the buffaloes
had an instinct OF a conscious deter
mination in providing a water supply
by making these basins or swallows,
that, when full of water, dotted the
p aims like specks on the sky. The So
called 'wallows" were not wallows in
a literal sense. Like q dutiful parent.
the male bison stood watch over the
Young while the mother went down to
the arkansas river to slack her thirst.
While paving the earth during his pa
rual guard. and throwing the dust
over his shaggy coat, and chasing the
i.eS ami gnats, the proud deuizen of
th- plains consciously made a reservoir,
So that when the birth of young bison
Occurred prematureIy and at a distsnce
from the river, Mistress Bison could
sake her thirst, and not interrupt her
ccouchement, by finding water in the
"@alIows" Old Bison, himself, was
j l,f like some of the old buffaloes we all
h.ow of, who leave the nurse in care
of mother and child, and go off and set
up the cigars among the boys. They
soon got tired "pawing" at the sick bed
and tired of handing over the pare
gorio. So it was with Bison.
But the buffalo had the reservoir and
storage plan in view, probably in anti
cipation of the sure agricultural de-
yelopment of the country. He left
something for man to initiate.
Why not? Nature provided the
camel with a hump on his bank con-
tanning fat, that was consumed on his
march across a desert that afforded nc
subsistence. 1t also provided camels
with three StOmachs for a water reserve
where the GASES were far apart and to
relieve his furnishing On his journeys
across the Sahara.
Nature probably gave the buffalo a
degree of intelligence, though there
was an abundant heritage, and he had
no use to store up fat; but he took his
instinct and added to his water supply.
The buffalo also looked at his reser-
yoir system from both an agricultural
and commercial view; for the wallOws
are on the best lands.
Man can find useful occupation in
the pursuit of designs for the better
ment of his condition by studying the
habits Of animals. He can lay in fat
and a water supply.
The scientist goes to nature for his
plans; the inventor patterns after ma
ture; and the human body is a piece Of
mechanism, governed by the principle
that controls the wind, the storm and

a Z. hs3ll9f is wear -tleFe IS no search
ine Of his understanding He giVeth pew
to the faint; and TO them that nave no
might he increaseth strength. Even
the youths shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall utterly fall.
But they that wait upon the Lord shall
renew their strength; they shall mount
up with wings as eagles. they shall run
and not be weary, they shall walk and
not faint"
Who will dare put any limitation on
these sublime words Of holy writ? Do
not the scriptures repeatedly declare
that 'san things are possible with God;
and that all things are possible to him
that believeth."
Now come to New Testament, Mark
16 chapter, Ills verse: "And these
signs shall follow them that believe. In
my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues.
They shall take up serpents; and if
they drink any deadly thing it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick and they shall recover.
Again in John IA chapter, IL verse.
Jesus said: Verify, verify, I say unto
you, he.that believeth on me, the works
that do shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do, because I
go unto my Father"
Acts5 1916, is a case in point: "They
brought forth the sick into the streets,
and laid them on beds and touches,
that at least the shadow Of Peter pass
ing by might overshadow some of them.
There came also a multitude out of the
cities round about unto Jerusalem,
bringing sick folks and them which
we're yexad with uuolean spirits; aud
they we're healed every QUE"
Acts 10, 11-12: sand God wrought
special myracles by The hand Of Paul
So that from his body we're brought
unto the sick, haudkerchiefs or aprons
and the diseases departed from them
and the evil spirits went out Of them.
First Corinthians y, Z, 8, 9, 10, Ii:
But the manifestation Of the Spirit i,
given to every maa to profit withsl
For to Que is given by Una Spirit eh
word of wisdam; to another the word of
knowledge, by the same Spirit. TO an
other faith by the same spirit; to az
other gifts Of healing by the same
Spirit; to another jhe working If

Other discerning If spirits; 10 another

Interpretation Of tongues" But all
these Sorke.h hat one and the self
same Spirit, dividing to every man sew
orally as he will"
James 5, 14-15: SIS any sick among
you, let him call for the elders of the
church; and let them pray over him,
him with oil in the name of
the Lord, and the prayer of faith shall
save the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed
sins, they shalt be forgiven him."
Pertullian, in his apology" declared
that as matter of test, in the courts
when Christians we're being prosecuted
and put to death, that the humblest of
them could cast out devils at their
word and perform other miracles in
the very presence of the court. This
was somewhere near the beginning of
the third century Of the Christian era.

CONSIDERABLE comment has been
stirred up over a petition from Ed
wards county asking that a murderer
sentenced from that county, be hung
The courts sentence murderers in first
degree to be hung, but it rests with the
chief executive to name the day after
the expiration of a years incarceration
in the state penitentiary: A long line
of pTecedents keeps the executive from
ordering criminals, so sentenced, to be
hung, and today there are forty eight
men at Lansing whose execution is
only prevented by the precedent. Capt.
tai punishment should either be car
ried out as the statute provides, or else
the provision repealed, as dead-letter
laws are much worse than no laws.
