Testing the Postal Service.

To test the safety of Uncle Sans
mails and the honesty of postal clerks, a
gentleman made an experiment which is,
at first sight. rather foolish. but which.
in its result. is pleasant to think about,
SAYS the Detroit Free Press
He pasted on one side OF silver dollar
a bit of paper on which he wrote his
daughters address On the other side
ne put a 1-cent stamp. sending the dol
lar at merchandise rates.
The experiment was the result OF a
dispute with a foreigner. who doubted
the Americans assertions of the safety
of the United States mails, and warned
him that that was the last he would hear
Of his money.
Two days later the man received a let
ter from his daughter acknowledging the
receipt of the dollar.

TO PRESERVE BISON.
Buffalo Jones Renews His Fight
For Government Protection
Washington Post

tN aSninSIou HOSL-t
Buffalo Jones Of Topeka, Kan. the
man who has devoted his life TO pre-
venting the extinction of the American
bison. or buffalo, spent several days in
this city last week. His mission in this
city was to resurect the bill that he
has had before congress for so long,
and which seeks 20 create a special
reservation upon which to place the
few surviving buffaloes and keep them
there, under government control Mr..
Jones, in speaking generally of the
doom Of the American bison, said:
Years ago l was a plainsman and
used TO get 80 cents per head for shoot
ing buffaloes from parties who made q
business of collecting, selling and deal
ing in the hides The animals that
shot were skinned by men employed for
that purpose, who followed wherever
went, skinning the animals as fast as
l shot them When the buffalo became
scarce along the line Of railroads, at
that time just completed across the
plains. all / had 10 do TO find more was
to simply take a wagon and travel thir-
ty or forty miles back from the rail-
road among herds that numbered thou
sands.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1902-07-21

AT that day and time very few peo-
PIE realized that an end must come
some time to the slaughter of these
animals, and that unless something
was done to save them, they would all
be killed But. l am proud TO say. this
thought presented itself to me time and
time again. and it was while engaged
with others in destroying these animals
that 1 made up my mind that 1 would
not be one Of the number who at some
future day would be responsible for the
determination of these noble creatures.
wanted none of the sin on my shOul-
ders, and at a time long before anyone
dreamed of the buffalo dying out
made a resolve that whenever these
animals began to grow scarce 1 would
capture a herd and see what 1 could do
toward demonstrating them
so. in 1886. I came to Washington
and tried to get the government 20 set
aside what at that time was known as
No Mans Land" d strip of country
dividing Texas from Arkansas. as a
reservation for buffalo. Properly ad-

that upon this strip there were then sDO
