Mr.. GoOdnight's 800 Buffaloes.

"There are 800 buffaloes in one herd
down in Texas that you newspaper
fellows never seem to have heard Of"
said r.. B. Hulin. Mr.. Hulin is "the
cowboy glove drummer" of Texas. He
went on to say:
"Once in a while l see it in print
that the buffalo is almost extinct and
the reports always state that the only
remaining buffaloes are few on the
government reservation in Yellowstone
Park and few more that are scattered
in geological gardens in different cities
| have never seen mention in print
of the herd of 300 on the ranch of
Charles P. Goodnight, at Goodnight,
Texas. l stop off once year to sell
gloves to Goodnight and the eighty or
ninety cowboys who work for him. He
has ranch of $4,000 acres, and 1000
of that are fenced off as buffalo ranch.
You often hear it said that in few
years more there will not be a single
specimen of the buffalo left alive, be-
cause they do not breed well in captiv-
ity. 1t may be true that they do not
increase rapidly when they are penned
up in parks and geological gardens, but
on Goodnight's 1000 acre range they
increase almost as rapidly, l expect, as
they used to when they ran wild over
the prairies. Goodnight started with
twenty-five head of buffsloes a few
years ago and he has about 300, and
the family is steadily increasing. He
will not allow one to be killed and he
expects in few years to have big
herd of several thousand. When it be-
comes necessary he will enlarge the
range, and | don't see any reason why
he shouldn't make big thing out of
his buffalo herd. kansas City Jour-

No woman is fit to marry who has any

And you don't know how quickly we all fell into

Never Quite the Same.

"Crying because Jack broke your doll,
Your precious dolly sue,
With really truly yellow hair
And wonderful eyes of blue7"
lifted the little one on my knee
And stroked the sunny head;
In loving tones of sympathy,
"There don't cry, dear" said,
"There don't cry, my dearie,
Try to forget your pain
For don't you think that maybe we
Can mend your dolly again2"
The sweet lips quivered doubtfully
The plaintive answer came;
ayes. maybe, papa. but don't you see,
'Twould never be quite the same"
"Crying because Jack broke your heart,
Your heart so tender and true.
The dearest, sweetest, choicest gift
That God has given you?
But there, don't crv, my dearle,"
drew her to my side,
And just as in her childish griefs
To comfort her | tried.
"There, don't cry, my dearie,
Try to forget your pain
Perhaps, some day, another Jack
VIII mend your heart again."
Her sweet voice quivered plaintively
The answer of childhood came;
Eyes, maybe, papa, but don't you see,
'lwould never be qui; Q the same"
