INDIAN N BUFFALO.
How the Latter Turned Hunter and Chased
the Red Man.

A retired officer Of the northwest
mounted police, who took part in a
Missouri buffalo run 40 years ago,
describes the impression at the time
as Of an earthquake. The galloping
horses, the rocking mass Of fleeing
buffaloes, the rumbling and quaking
of the ground under the thunder
Gus pounding we're all like a yio-
lent earthquake. The same gentle
man tells for Outing how he once
saw a wounded buffalo turn on an
Indian hunter. The mans horse
took fright.
Instead of darling sideways to
give him a chance to send a last fin
ishing hot home, the horse became
wildly unmanageable and fled. The
buffalo pursued. OFF they rushed,
rider and buffalo, the Indian cram
ing over his horses neck, the horse
blown and tagged and unable to gain
one pace ahead Of the buffalo, the
great angry beast covered with foam,
with eyes like fire, pounding and
pounding-closer-and closer - to
the horse till rider and buffalo dis
appeared over the horizon. "To this
day l have wondered what become Of
that Indian" said the officer, "for the
horse was losing and the buffalo
gaining when they went behind the
bluff" The incident illustrates a
trait seldom found in wild animals
a persistent vindictiveness.

HISTORIC cATALPA.
Tree in London Brought BY Raleigh
from Virginia.


from Virginia.
Probably not one in fthefolk
from the United States who visit
London every year and go on their
way, rejoicing in the fact that they
have done the metropolis thoroughly,
sees a relic that to Americans ought
to be one of the most interesting
here-an old catalpa tree that Sir
Walter Raleigh brought from Yir-
ginia and that Sir Francis Bacon
planted in Gray's Inn gardens.
That American travellers miss the
historic tree, says the Providence
Journal, is no reflection on their
sightseeing industry. Even Bae-
deker seems to have overlooked it,
and probably few people in London,
outside the officials of Gray's Inn,
know its history. That history is un-
usually interesting, however. When
Sir Walter Raleigh brought the
tree to England, his idea was to have
his good friend and patron, Queen
Elizabeth, plant it in Gray's Inn gar
dens, then a favorite strolling place
with the fashionable folk. 1t was
fully understood that the queen
would do so, but just before the time
came her majesty was taken i'll, and
she deputed Bacon-who, according
to Mr.. Gallup's cypher, was Eliza
beth's son-te take her place.
Gray's inn, for centuries devoted
to law and lawyers, got itsname from
having belonged to the Lords
Gray as far back as the 1905. 1t
first got to be a law school in 1871,
when the Elizabethan hall, which
contains some of the finest oak carv-
ings in England, was built. Here
Queen Elizabeth came often, and
here Shakespeare's comedy of Err
rors" was first given in 1904, and
doubtless seen by Bacon, who began
to study law at Gray's Inn in 1876.
Other famous figures Of the old
Gray's Inn were Thomas Cromwell
and Lord Burleigh.
The gardens where once the gal
lants and grandes danes Of the town
used to foregather, and where RAJ
leigh's tree was planted, still remain,
almost as they were; but now there is
a high iron fence around them, the
public is not admitted and the jaded
folk who pass through shabby Gray's
Inn road look longingly in at the
grass and the old trees.
Oldest Of all these, Oldest, some
say, Of all the trees in England, is the
veteran catalpa that came from
HVirginy." In fact, it is SO cid now
that it has rotted a good deal, and
has to be kept in place by means of
braces. The consequential rocks,
which still live in the gardens, es-
'eem the trees greatly as a perching
place. In fact, they have made it
such a permanent headquarters that
a barrel filed with drinking water
for them has been set just beside the
catalpa. This barrel stands just on
the spot where Sir Francis Bacon had
a bench placed for his own enjoy
ment. The seat remained there for
years after the philosophers death,
until one night, when it disappeared,
and thereafter could never be
traced. Perhaps the ghost of Shakes

tahsd so many young American debutahtes as now. Many Of them
de@ved their training almost wholly in the United States.
1t may be hard on the musical centers OF Europe, but it is never
thdess true, that H BEST MUSICAL TEACHERS R BE-
ING ATTRACTED FROM EUROPE TO UNITED
STATES. The reason is simple. The salaries paid there and the con-
ora'ns imposed are such as to make our side Of the Atlantic truly
seem like Gods country to the musical artist. In New York, Chi
cago, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities the musical clientele
is large and liberal. OF course, it would be folly to imagine that
we can depend entirely upon ourselves for musical advancement in
general.
The interchange Of talent between the old and the new world
brags about a happy mixture. Moreover, the United States is the
home Of many of the best living composers and teachers. THE DAY

me only result. The very use OF the muscles makes them more
powerful and capable of doing harder thing after each effort. Every
effort, also, OF the mind makes it more powerful and capable of more
0lfhcult performances. This power is one of the chief results of work.
NO one, however hard he may work, can develop muscle or faculty
power tor another. Each must do his own work. Work, then,
makes for the cultivation Of the individual life. PLAY is THE
BALANCE In i we want companions. We learn to know others,
to see their weaknesses, appreciate their suffering, admire their
strength, and emulate their example. We enjoy intercourse with
them, and in turn strive to make ourselves agreeable to them. The
individual is merged into the social being, and we have gained in
sympathy and social adaptveness.
Some work is necessity. The physical man needs sustenance.
and food must be obtained or the body will die. The intellect. as
well, weakens if It does not have its proper food and exercise. He
VINO lives must work; he who grows physically and intellectually must
work. In the same way there is a strenuous MUST phase of play.
Alter work recuperaton is a necessity, or body and mind are soon
incapable OF further work. So this phase of play-eatng, resting,
seeptng-s just as essential as food-getting, and a neglect of either
would result in deterioration, and ultimately in the extinction of the
Individual, and SO Of the race.
But all Of life is not made up of the strenuous must" When
the problem OF the means Of existence has been solved, the mind
and body have acquired a habit Of work and play SO that the exer-
else OF each is a pleasure-a gratifying, purifying and charging of
individual tastes and incinahons. Ones work, for instance, may be
along the lines Of scientific research, and play the qualification of
the aesthetic nature. In this state, instead Of working and PLAYING
to preserve life from extinction, the individual lives for the satisfy
ing pleasure given by his work and play. He stands out among his
fellows as unique, He works to make the work OF others as easy
as may be, and in his play he becomes able to express for himself
and Others what lack Of skill and of cultivation makes it impossible
for those Others to express. The necessary work and play, then,
tend to the preservation Of life, and the expressive work and play
make for individuality and talent.

 For some time past there has been considerable discussion among the members of the St Thomas Cadets A. A., as to the relative merits of Edward Dunphy and Denny Lynch as runners. Both of these young men have claimed superiority as runners and have had an equal number of supporters. Last night they decided to test their ability in 100 yard dash. Phil Riley was appointed starter and Dennis Kelly timer. Dunphy had the better of the start but after an exciting race Lynch beat him out by two yards. It Is said that Lynch has issued challenge to Jesse Deyine.

sUPT BEAcHes LAST WEEK.
Change In Railroad Management to
 Take Place on Friday.

Employees of the Berkshire and there will be any changes ill the per sonnel of the road when Superintend- ent q. w. Beach retires this present week, says the Ansonia Sentinel. Such changes are to be expected. It is known the main offices of the division will be removed from Waterbury to New Haven, but some persons think Train Dispatcher Benedict, who has really been the assistant superintend- ent for several years, will go with them and will occupy a good position under Superintendent Hopson.
 The employees of the Naugatuck di- vision have, many of them, worked all their lives under Superintendent Beach, many of the conductors com mencing at the bottom of the ladder, and they are very sorry he is to vacate his position. They love him as q father, for though he has always been q strict disciplinarian, he has been just with them and willing to listen to what they had to say when before him, and, they say, he never formed an opinion until a thorough investigation had been made
 The change will be made so quietly the public will never know it has been done except as they read of it in the papers. Some persons think there will be changes made in the running of trains when the fall time tables are issued, but just what they will be they are not ready to hazard a guess on.

He Enters Cape Town Quietly and
 UDsets Reception Plans. < CAPE TOWN, July 29.- General De Wet proved that he could evade friends as successfully as he did enc mics by arriving here unexpectedly yesterday afternoon and upsetting all the elaborate plans prepared for his reception. He strolled through the streets, casually nodding to acquaint- ances and occasionally to former op- ponent Arrangements were quickly made by Afrikanders to entertain the famous leader at a semiprivate dinner, tickets to which already stand at q premium.
 A striking contrast to De Vets re- turn was the scene Sunday when Gen. erals Botha and Delarey attended church. The building was packed mainly with women, and the service was scarcely concluded when these Cape Town admirers stormed the pew in which the generals sat. With diffi- culty they retreated to the vestry. The congregation followed, and Generals Botha and Delarey were lifted to the vestry table. The pastor of the church warmly remonstrated. whereupon q number of those present seized the generals and carried them to carriages, where another demonstration ensued.

LIGHT ON THE SITUATION.
Will the Railroad Commissioners Also

 Privilege City to Pay For Lights Wonder if the railroad commissioners got together on the matter of ordering the trolley company to install and maintain Il light at the Oakville bridge as soon as they start running their cars. The other conditions turned oyer to the company body and brooches represent vast amount of money, while the light which at best Is noth- ing but a mere bagatelle was held up and referred to i'll the report submitted ill q way which lead the initiated to believe that 1t meant millions The commissioners were able to pass aL. opinion on the big things without much delay, but this light gagged them and they took it under advisement. But, say, how in the world did our distln- guished friend Commissioner Fyler be- come sufficiently familiar with the sub- ject to be able to pass upon it? He wasn't at the hearing but his name is signed to the report just the same. The commissioner should let us know about that light as soon as possible. The taxpayers of Waterbury are in- terested to find out whether the ex- penses will have to be borne by them or will it come out of the coffers of the trolley people. 1t would be just like the commissioners to "soak" the trolley company for the light. It Is a pretty how do you do when three men not one of whom belong in Waterbury can turn down the whole city govern ment and give private corporation the right to occupy the public high ways for all time without giving any thing for the privilege. And while all this is going on creatures of the party that stand for such systematic robbery under the. guise of law have the nerve to proclaim it's greatness and grand ness.
