Samuel P. Schuckers died recently

on P. Chase, and brother-in-law of
John H. Oberly, ex-civil service COM
missioner. An interesting incident is re-
called by Schuckers' death which has
never found it's way in the newspapers.
The incident occurred number of years
ago, and during the time of the sale of
the Lake Shore railroad at Cleveland it
happened that Schuckers and John Nc
Sweeney, the great criminal lawyer,

short time before made great hit by
his political speeches at Cleveland and
Philadelphia and was attracting atten-
ton all over the country. At this par
ticular time he was trying a case at
Cleveland. Young Schuckers was in
these days veritable dude and very
'sprucy.
He went to Cleveland to have time,
as he always left Wooster to celebrate,
and was having good, glorious time on
this particular occasion. He was small
and wiry in stature and always carried
silk umbrella. 1t happened that he
met insolvency in the rotunda just as
he had finished an argument and while
the sale of the Lake Shore railroad was
going on. They stopped for moment

of syndicates represented foreign, Van

it of devilishness young Schuckers bid

made toward the new bidder, and a de-
mand was made to know what syndi-
cate he represented. His only reply
was, with wave of his silk umbrella,

Width of headgear being now essential
to fashion, the three cornered hat of the
days of picturesque living is again brought
to the front, and though now worn with
difference it still retains much of it's be-
comingness. Straw takes the place of old
world felt or velvet, and flowers, lace and
ribbons enhance its charms where an edg-
ing of gold lace, or at utmost single
feather (when for riding costume), was the
sole decoration allotted to the original an
cestors of the present chapeau. These
trimmings, of course, to q large extent,
take from the individual character of the
shape, though they cannot altogether de-
stroy its very becoming outline. 1t is, of

BREEDING BUFFALOES.

Some of the Hybrids That Are Produced
Are Fine Animals.
A famous Montana character is Char
lie Allard of Ravalli. Mr.. Allard is IA
nous mainly because he is one of the
owners Of the largest herd Of buffalo in
the country, and no man living has
given to these now rare animals moro
patient study and attention than he.
'"The coolest storms of winter do not
trouble them," he says, ''for their
thick, shaggy coats are windproof.
During the heavy SHOWS and billiards.
they climb the hills, and turning their
breasts to the wind defy the storm.
They feed where the snow is thinnest.
Cattle are driven before a storm and
will often go with a wind 60 or 100
miles from the accustomed range unless
they reach sheltered spot. Horses turn
their backs to storm, but the buffaloes
face it every time. They seem to keep
in about the same condition of flesh the
year round and are as good eating in
the spring as they are in the fall, and a
buffalo steak is about as fine morsel
as ever man made meal of. About
two years ago I purchased the Jones
herd of buffalo, which was at Omaha.
There were 81 Of them in tho herd, and
we paid (for have a partner now $18,-
600 for the lot. Marchiel Pablo, we'll
known cattleman, has joined me in the
business and for the past year has had
entire charge of them, SO that do not
know just exactly how many we have
about 40, should judge, now, and by
next fall there will be fully 900 Of
them.
"We have experimental in crossing
buffalo with all breeds Of cattle, and
the results are most satisfactory. The
Polled Angus stock when crossed with
the buffalo produces magnificent ami
NAL. The fur is finer and closer than
that of the buffalo, and the meat is
sweet and wholesome. We are produc-
ing as many of these animals as posi-
BILE, but will not put any on the market
for several years yet. We are not selling
any buffalo either, for the reason that
we need them all at present. We re-
ceive letters every day from museums,
parks and shows wanting them in all
quantities, and though we might dis
pose Of one or two singly we have no
pairs to SELL
"a good buffalo hide is worth 500
now in the market and heads bring
from 5000 to $500 when mounted, and
the value of these is steadily increasing,
SO that buffalo breeding is as good an
investment as real estate Our herd is
about the only one I know Of any
size. There is a small one ip the Texas
panhandle, and these, with the few
that roam in the national park, are the
sole remnants Of the thousands which
roamed the prairies but few years

A CRIME TO LAUGH,
Queer Sunday Laws of 1871 That Still
Govern Englands Lords Day.

Queer Sunday Laws of 1871 That Still
Govern England's Lords Day.
The introduction of the Sunday bill
by Lord Hobhouse brings up the fact
that we are governed in respect to Sun
day observations by an act of the year
1881.
1t seems that a Sunday lecture can al
why's be made the subject of prosecution.
Some time ago a Sunday lecturer at
Leeds was actually sacrilegious enough
to make his audience laugh. The pro-
prietor of the lecture hall was thereupon
prosecuted for keeping disorderly
house.
Music can now be given in the open
air on Sunday, but if it is given in
room. nothing must be charged for
chairs. In other words, it will be posi-
BILE for any body of men and women to
run Sunday concerts and Sunday lee
lures with the view of making them pay
expenses, but not for their own profit.
In the years 1900 and 1901 one Eus-
tace, abbot Of Flaye, preached through
out England the observance of the Lords
day. He enjoined that no kind of work
should be done after the ninth hour on
Saturday until sunrise on Monday.
According to the manner Of the times
his preaching was backed up by mira
cles. AT Beverly carpenter persisting
in finishing a wedge after the ninth
hour fell down in paralysis. In the same
town woman went on with her weav-
ing after the ninth hour. Result, par
alysis, with loss Of voice.
At Rafferton man made loaf and
baked it on Saturday evening. When he
broke it on Sunday morning, blood start
ed from it. At Wakefield miller,
grinding after hours, ground out blood
instead of flour.
In Lincolnshire woman made loaf
and put it in the oven. It remained
dough! In the same county a pious
woman, finding it was the ninth hour,
set aside her loaves. Lo! On Sunday
morning the loaves were beautifully
baked without any fire at all.
And yet, the chronicler adds, in spite
of these miracles the people have re-
turned to the holding of markets on the
Sunday London Queen.
