The Great Band Of Elk Winters In the
Lowiands Of Jactcson's Hole.

The Great Band Of Elk Winters In the
Lowiands Of Jackson,s Hole.
The largest herd OF wild animals In
the United States. and probably In the
world, is the great band Of elk which
winters In the lowlands Of Jackson's
Hole district, wyoming. There are,
at this writing, estimated TO be some
$1,000 head Of elk In the band. The
men who have given this estimate are
welI-known ranchers and cattlemen, or
cowboys and owners of sheep and
stock ranges. Their estimate comes
pretty close to being a correct one.
During the severe winters In Wyo-
ming, when the elk, driven by the bit
ter cold and heavy SHOWS, approach
almost to their very doors. they have
unusual opportunities for observing
this great herd OF magnificent ami
mails.
All the elk In Jackson's Hole dis
trict are carefully protected by the
scattered residents of the country. At
present the herd is under the con-
slant surveillance Of two deputy game
wardens, while district game wardens
watch the band whenever any portion
of 1t strays into the district over
which they have authority. In the
summer time the herd is widely scat
tered over an extent of country the
radius of which is more than 500 miles,
embracing a territory of virginia. beau
ty and primeval grandeur.
OF those elk which enter Colorado q
large percentage is killed. while the
few which stray into Utah fall at the
hands Of the Uintah Ute Indians. The
elk which wander too far from home
are not killed in the summer, but in
the late fall.
By far the larger portion OF the
herd which is guarded in the winter in
Jackson's Hole passes the summer in
the timbered heights in the Teton.
Gros Ventre, and Shoshone Mountains,
the Big Horn Basin, the Yellowstone
National Park, and even in the rec
range near the settlement OF Jackson
itself. One gentleman last summer
counted a herd of 800 elk within two
and a half miles of Jackson.

One on Senator Hoar.

Senator Hoar was the unconscious
hero of an incident which marked the
commencement exercises at the STATE
University of Iowa. The Senator de-
liYered his address In a tent, and his
manuscript threatened to blow away.
Col George r. Burnett of the Unit
ed States Army borrowed a knife from
the Rev. DR.. George L. Cady chap
lain of the university. This, as an Inn
provised paper weight. the Colonel
placed upon Senator Hoar's manu-
script At the close of particularly
eloquent period. Mr.. Hoar's hand
came In contact with the knife, and
he thrust 1t into his trousers pocket
The audience having noticed the Incl
dent. burst into laughter. The speak
er said something about the Jester
never seeing the point of joke" and
proceeded with the address.
Later the Senator was reproached
by DR.. Cyrus Northrop, president OF
the University of Minnesota. for
preaching honesty to the boys OF Iowa
and then setting them such an exam
pie of incorporation. Then the af-
fair was explained and Senator Hoar
drew forth the borrowed" knife and
a knife case as well. The latter con-
tanned an exact duplicate of the instru-
ment he had taken.
Senator Hoar had carried the dupli-
cate of the borrowed knife continuous
ly ever since he received 1t, forty
years ago, from his wife.-Indinanapo-

Southeastern Virginia Is SCARED

ers great trouble. Last spring a poor
farmer lost his wife and only horse
just as the blowing season opened. De-
termined to have his fields in readiness,
he harnessed himself to light pillow

All went well for a dozen or so of
burrows, but just as he prepared for a
trip through the turnip beds he slipped
and went down into the mire at the

bitches.
Scrambling out, wet, muddy and an

BERLIN, Feb. 19.-The kaiser has entered

paper has been publishing communications
on the Hebrew religion under the heading
Of Babel and Bible"
The emperor. addressing himself to the
theories Of Prof. Delitscb. one of tie con-
troversialists, says he thinks Delitsch made
a great mistake in approaching the ques-
tion Of revelation in a political spirit, and
then proceeds:
l believe in the one and only God. We
may need a form in order to teach His
existence, especially for our children. This
has hitherto been the Old Testament. The
present version of this will possibly be sub
stantially modified under the influence OF
research through inscriptions and excava-
tions. That does not matter. Neither does
It matter that much of the nimbus Of the
chosen people will thereby disappear. The
kernel of the contents OF the Old Testa-
ment will remain the same-God and His
works. Religion has never been the result
of science but the pouring out of the heart
and being Of men from intercourse with
God.
