and roasted on the branches OF trees,

have gotten into an enchanted forest. It
was most novel sensation. and spent
some time amusing myself with the
different birds.
However, that was not finding my
cattle. so l continued my way up the
stream for q few hundred feet. Then I
met 4 sight that simply astounded me. l
stopped and rubbed my eyes. to make

frightened, and was half tempted 10 run
back. But the memory OF the strange
actions of the wild ducks and geese on
IL n few minutes previously nerved me
somewhat. II II had not been that l had
seen them first I most surely would
have run away. and ever afterwurl
would have made myself believe that I
had been n victim of an halluc!nation.
''As II was. made my way into the
opening in the forest and looked about
me in wonderment. A big jackrabbit
loped up to me and rubbed his nose
against my knees.

Wild animals. and three OF my Jerseys
were peacefully chewing their cuds. II
waa sight that reminded me Of the
Bible story OF the Gardenof Eden.
AT the foot Of 4 pine tree was Il

sheep, all apparently contented. A big

mountain lion close to his heels. There

licked my hand.
Not one OF the animals was any
more afraid OF me than my Jersey cows

pick them up and put them on.the cows
back. and l believe Icould have played
with the mountain lion. but l did not
care to run too great risks.
THE wildcat was purring when l
went by her. could see that she had
the claws turned In so as not to scratch.
While was still standing in wonder
ment some of the ducks and geese en-
tered the opening. but even the feroc-
ious wildcat showed no desire TO harm
them. 80
II knew that the way I had come into
the thiclet was also Il good way TO get
out. Accordingly, placed my hand on
one OF the cows neck and led her in
that direction.
"What was my surprise TO see all the
other animals in the thicket get up and
follow us. That Is. all except the poor

rendered to the widow a formal apology

nave been rather been outdone by the
thirty-two cattlemen of Fail River
County, South Dakota, who have Just
been acquitted of the murder of John
Elkman, a sheep herder. When the un-
pleasant litigation" was happily con-
cluded the late defendants waited ON
the widow of Elkman, and not only ex-
pressed regrets for the untimely death
of her late husband, but left a Christ
mas gift of 81, 600 as an earnest of their
intentions not to let her suffer for the
necessaries of life. 1t is even said that
this contribution was in gold, and it's
presentation in that form must have
involved some yielding of political pre-
JUDGES on the part of the homicides.
AT all events in making this presenta-
ton the cattlemen of Fall River Coun-
ty went the vigilantes one distinct point
better. If, now, any of the cattlemen
happens to be a single man and is will
