FaShiOn'S Latest Mandates

 Very beautiful are some of the ball frocks of white kilted chiffon yelled with jeweled or spangled lace. By the way these transparencies for evening wear are much in vogue in Paris; they are gener- ally placed over klted underskirt of contrasting shade. Such an idea is de- lightful for the ball frock.
 
 An old fashion revived is the trimming of large black chip hats with waving white plumes. Infinitely becoming is the ostrich feather, and the artistic ways in which past mistresses of millinery now employ it greatly enhances It's effects Some feathers are passed through the brims of hats, so that the ends nestle on the halr others sweep about the crown, but none stand erect as of yore. This Is an emphatically dropping, season; boas pelerlnes, hat brims and garnishlngs all have a downward tendency, and even the round tulle toque, with osprey erect and general air of smartness, has dropped out of fashions first flight.
 The love of embroidery of all kinds seems to be on me increase rather than on the wane. Wise women are bringing out long -hoarded treasures of stitchery and having them fashioned Into revers, collars and similar adornments. Motives of richly colored Chinese embroidery are distinctly decorative when applied to brussels net collar, and an old piece of embroidery or brocade of which the ground is worn may have it's pattern used in this way very successfully. Liberty Is using Chinese embroidered sleeves for bell pulls The sleeves are joined into one long strip stiffened. and quaint brass handls or ring makes the necessary finish. Our good drapers are selling some Smyrna embroidery just now which consists of several strips of red and blue and multi colorei embroidery on cream ground.

yersation some one made use of the term "bucket shop" using it in the generally accepted sense of today. '"rhat reminds me" said Thomas H. Doyle that I was present when the word bucket shop was first coined It was-let me see-thirty years ago, when the old Chicago board of trade stood at Washington and La Salle street William Pieronette, one of the old time brokers of Chicago; Abel Adams of Minneapolis and myself were entering Henry Lindsens buffet at ex- change place and gamblers alley. I was l regret to say, about to indulge in mild libation. This interesting situation was interrupted by the sudden appearance of 'Bill' Lincoln, a well-known character on change, who rushed up to Pieronette and said: Let me have BIO for a stake and I will go over on the open board of trade and buy thousand bushels of wheat
 What roared Pieronette, buy wheat in that d-d bucket shop? Not with my money. Come in and I will buy you a drink, but 1t shall not be said that l. a member of the board of trade. encouraged a man to buy his wheat In place where he could buy thousands of bushels and carry away his holdings in a bucket The other witnesses to this christening of the open board (which was not justihed) and to the coining of the word which was afterwards universally used were Iron Jaw Brady, Fog Horn Sheldon, and Henry Llndsen, the proprietor of the Luffet"

BIG HERD OF BUFFALO
 FLOURISHES IN MONTANA

which the herd IS kept does not exceed from seventy to 100 square miles. and the animals might be maintained on a small CT area of pasturage.
 The COWS do not have calves until they are four or five years old and about half the cows have calves every year. The owners say that the fertility of the herd is not decreasing.
 Some of the calves die. about the same proportion as among ordinary cattle on a range. Most of them, however, are re- markably bright and active. One calf made a record of standing upon it's feet thirty seconds after 1t was born and exhibited a desire to fight when twenty minutes old.
 They usually range in two herds, but in the winter of 1901, they were in three herds. With them are many herds Of cattle and horses.
 A herder Is kept with the animals con- stantly. He knows where they are, keeps note of the increase, and looks af- ter the calves and the herd generally. In fact they are much more carefully at- tended than the range cattle.
 As about half of the calves are males and so many bulls are not needed few of them are sold every year to butchers at Helena, Butte, and other neighbor- ing towns. by whom they are sold over the counter as meat the heads being re- tained as mounts. The chief profit from the herd is, of course, derived from sale to eastern cities for parks and zoologi- cal gardens.
 The price put on the animals for these purposes is very high, the freight haul is long, the cost of transportation is any, thing but cheap and the danger of death before the end of the trip is large. The animals therefore. which we see in ouf parks represent an important outlay.
 When a visitor desires to see the herd he must either seek it on horseback or hire a buggy. If he is wise also he will secure the services of an Indian as a guide to find the animals and wound up the smaller herds into one large bunch. There is no telling where they may be grazing.
 The Indian starts out toward the high butte where they are most 1requentiN found When a herd is sighted he will ride toward it until he can determine whether the animals are buffalo or cat tie.
 In the latter case he takes another de rection until another herd is sighted, and it frequently happens that one trav- els for hours before seeing the herd in the distance. Usually one may find 1t with little difficulty, and it Is well worth a days work and the slight expense
 The animals go In small squads of from two or three to fifty. The Indian guide races his horse after squad approach Ing in the direction he wishes to go. He will ride leisurely until he finally turns toward the animals when he puts spurs to his horse. yells like demon and fires his six-shooter again and again.
 The squad is run in the direction of larger group and thus they are gener- ally collected One may go within twen- ty or thirty yards of them.
 If closer approach is made they slowly move off. If the pursuit is continued they begin to trot, then to gallop and finally run at full speed with lowered head and straight tail, believing every few jumps. It is easy to secure any num- Der of photographs of them.

outstripping and putting to shame John Gilpin's ride, to inform the authorities there of the approach of Strait
 This fact Forrest used against Strait to cause him to surrender
 Another fact of history I will here re- cord The object of Straits raid, in great measure, was to destroy the gun foun- dry at Rome The foundry was estab- lished at Rome on this wise: Gen. Cor gas, chief of ordinance of the Confed- eracy, early in the war informed Presi- dent Davis that al the metal In the Con- federacy suitable to make cannon had been exhausted, and the future supply must be procured by captures from the enemy and by running the blockade. MT. Davis told Gorgas he was mistaken, that at Red mountain in Cherokee coun- ty, Alabama, was the finest ores for gun metal in the United States; that while he was secretary of war under Pierce. desiring to improve the artillery of the United States. he had requested each member of congress to send him spec imen of ore in his district, to be anal yzed, to secure the best gun metal. and that the very best was found at Round Mountain. Immediately guns were foundried at Rome. By actual experience of eighteen months. fighting on every battle line from Mission Ridge to Jones' boro, Ga, knew the six inch rifle guns foundried at Rome were the equal in all respects to the ten-pounder Parrott guns of the federal army.

From the New York Sun.
 It was feared a few years ago that the buffalo. which once roamed our western extinction. It has been evident, how ever, for some years, that this most characteristic animal of our native fauna may be kept alive.
 Not only is the well-protected herd in the Yellowstone Park fourishing. and multiplying, but there Is also a fine herd, the result of private enterprise, in the valley of Mission Creek, in Northwest ern Montana. It has grown from a few animals. is permitted. within certain limits, to wander as it pleases and is rapidly increasing in numbers. It is grazing on the Flathead Indian reserva- ton.
 Professor Morton J. Elrod, who occu- pies the chair of biology In the Univers- ity of Montana, and Is the director of the university's biological station. near Flathead Lake, has written an interest," ing account of these buffaloes, which has been published by the university. He
 
 tween this herd, on the Flathead Reserv- 1 ation, and the herd in Yellowstone Park.
 The F'lathead herd has man with it constantly. The animals, therefore. are accustomed to man, and are not alarmed at his approach. On the other hand the park herd is rarely seen by man. It was placed at a high altitude, over 1000 feet, where snows are deep, winters long and severe, and where 1t would be very difficult to give the animals aid in case of scarcity of food; but the Flathead ranges at an altitude below 5000 feet, where deep snows do not occur and poachers can not molest without fear of discovery. Moreover, hay or grain may be taken to the herd in few hours if | needed.
 Though the animals range in treeless valley there are coulees. morainal de- presslons and river and creek banks, which offer shelter. Several high buttes give protection from the wind. while the rivers, creeks and ponds supply abund- ant water.
 l In 1884, Charles Allard and Michael Pa- bio bought ten head of Buffalo from an Indian who had brought them from east Of the Rocky Mountains. They also pur- | chased from Buffalo" Jones in Nebras- ka forty-four head, eighteen Of which were half-breeds, for the buffalo can cross with cattle. From this beginning of thirty-six full-blooded and eighteen mixed breed animals the present herd has descended.
 In February. 1902. the herd numbered 22o full-blooded and sixty-five mixed breed animals. Not a few were sold in earlier years to geological parks, circuses and private citizens. Tn 1901, sixty-five calves were added to the herd.
 This short record shows what can be done by private enterprise. In twenty years herd of thirty-six full-blooded animals has increased to more that 25O or ten times the original number, with no record of many sales that have been made in that time. In twenty-six ;'c7-s the number of calves Is given at sixty-five year, nearly double the original num- Der of buffalo in the herd.
