OLD BUFFALO HERDS.
Difference Between Seeing 10000
Animals and One Lone Bull.

Animals and One Lone Bull.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Gazing on the scraggy remnants of
buffalo in an Enclosure at Glen island,
a Colorado tourist in the East said:
"They are buffalOes 1 don't dispute
that, but they are not the kind that
used to make the West look like a
moving sea. I reckon you have read
good deal about extinct buffalo. Ten
years ago l heard that the last buffalo
had been killed-the last one in cap
tivity. But the buffalo, like the Indian,
dies hard. And 1 read about the last
Indian long before 1 began shedding
my hair
There is a herd of buffalo in Colo
RADIO that has been knocking about for
thirty years at least, and a man in
that state who has made the buffalo a
life study tells me he knows of two
herds. In 1865 there was a big herd
in the country known as Middle Park.
AS the country was settled by whites
the buffalo fell back. Hunters follow
ed that herd to Milk river, but in the
winter of 1875 the weather was so
severe that the hunters gave UP the
chase. That was the great snow win
ter in Colorado. The snow was so deep
that buffalo couldn't get around. That's
an actual fact. But it never gets too
deep for Indians. That winter a band
of Indians went after the buffalo and
killed more than could be brought
away. Next spring a lot of whites went
out and got the tallow from the dead
buffaloes and made money out of it.
The white hunters brought back the
news that the Indians had killed every
buffalo in the herd. But that was like
other buffalo stories. A few weeks
later a herd was found on the head
waters of Troublesome river. 1t was a
part of the herd which was snow
bound. White hunters killed some of
this herd and brought the meat to mar
ket and got into trouble for 1t, because
there is a law against killing buffalo
in Colorado. This law operates against
the white man, but an Indian can hunt
and kill anything he likes and the law
never touches him.
The last man / saw who had seen
buffalo in Colorado told me that he
had counted ten buffaloes up on the
North Park slope. That was four years
ago. Think of it! He had seen buff
falo because he had counted 'em. Ten

thought if he had seen 10000 in a herd.
And l can remember the time when
it took 10000 to make a herd. But

Very few of those who read this have
heard of Walter Wren, NJ. A, of Ok
ford. Yet all, and even more, that I
have said is literally true of him.
When he died. at the age of sixty
five years, Wren had been a teacher in
London for more than thirty years. His
work was of a very specialized kind.
and in it his success was so great that
that attained by his rivals was to
Wren's as a duck pond compared
with the Atlantic.
Wren was private tutor, or coach
what is called in England a cram
mer, as he was supposed to stuff his
pupil with information In the manner
that Strasburg goose Is crammed
with food: Wren would prepare a pupil
for any and every examination in the
United Kingdom. or out of it, for that
matter. Practically, however, he de-
voted himself to the preparation of
candidates for the civil services. and In
particular for the civil service of India.
