A Wichita Buffalo.

Writing in the Four Track News, N.
Hudson Moore tells of q Buffalo from
Wichita He says:
1t is fact that the buffalo has passed
into history. Once an inhabitant of this
country, his range extended from the
edge OF the Arctic Slope TO Mexico, and
from Virginia to Oregon. Cortez found
specimens of this animal in the palace
of Montezuma, and from that time till
within twenty years he roamed at Will
across our continent.
A curious parallel to the history Of our
own buffalo is that of his European cou-
sin. the bison. Only a few Of these are

complete has not been as rapid as Of our
buffalo. As late as 1857 it is estimated
that eight million head of buffalo roamed

week, the herds running into and piling
up before them. so ttat engineers learned
10 give running herd right o'way.'
To the Indian the buffalo was neces-
sity. Aside from furnishing a wholesome
food, the skin supplied him with tepee,
sleeping robe, clothes and shield. The
skin of the legs made his moccasins, the
bones made many of his utensils. and the
hoofs were boiled into glue. But the In
dian made no impression on the exter-
mination Of the buffalo; he left that to his
white brother.

A man of forty can remember the time

church. after which the Rev. Mr.. Beatty
read the Sentence Of Conservation.
Then the bishop pronounced the prayer
Of conservation. The conservation sermon
was preached by the Rev. John Bennett.
St. Paul's Episcopal church was founded
by the Rev. Rodney Nash, a missionary
in May. 1851. He raised money in the
east and built small frame church at
Fourth street and Minnesota avenue, and
a parsonage on what is now Huron place.
The church stood directly back of the
house of Jacques then chief of the Wyan-
dotte Indians, the smoke of whose wig
warns floated over what is now Kansas

held on Palm Sunday, 1851. the altar and
church furniture being brought by steam

then in charge, and his district included
all the territory west of Ohio. There
was only one other church in what is
now Kansas City, Kan, at that time. II
was a Methodist church.
In 1861 the convocation to organize Kan
sas, then a territory into a diocese, was
held in St. Pauls church. This was ac-
complished in July of that year. In 1880
the church had but eighteen members.
In 1892 under the rectorship of Rev. John
Bennett, the congregation began the cree
ton of a stone church at the corner Of
Sixth street and Ann avenue. Only the
basement was completed. In 1890 fran
church was built on the foundation.
In order to build the frame church
the land was mortgaged. The congrega-
ton was unable to pay the mortgage,
but during the rectorship of the Rev.
Dean Duffy the present site of the church
at Seventh street and State avenue was
purchased and the church building was
removed to the new location.

St PauIs Episcopal church in Kansas
City, Kan, the first church founded by
that denomination in Kansas, was con-

The conservation service was simple, yet
imposing. After the service the holy
communion was celebrated by the Rt.
Rev. Frank R. Millspaugh, bishop of Kan

That being Palm Sunday, the church
was decorated with palm branches.
Besides the bishop there were present
