or the Just filled clothesline falls in the

under the impression that they are can

to the scene Of disaster? No, that is the
second thing. The very first thing You
do is to hold your breath, and 1t is safe
to say that for several hours after the
annoying circumstance has occurred,
you breathe Just as little as possible.
When things 90 wrong" for an en-
tire day you take In about enough oxy-
gen for q medium-sized canary. When
you insist that you do breathe, else you

there are different degrees Of alive

the head Of the class.
Everyone has heard the saying, "The
coward has a narrow chest" Whether
we consider fear to be the cause or result
Of a contemplate amount Of breathing

moral and physical defect-these two
birds Of a feather-are frequently found
in company. Fear Is the essence Of
worry.

HOME FOR THE BUFFALO
Plea for ihe ssttinE Aside ofa vast
Game Preserve ~ Okiahoma
~ mnas.

Before 4 is too late Il would be well
for the people OF oklahoma TO interest
themselves in the scheme 70 establish q
big game reserve In the Wichita noun
tains, says the Kansas City Journal.
There is q great forest reserve IA the
hills Of Southwestern Oklahoma set aside
By congress many years ago. It~contains
5000 acres Of land excellently adapted
for the big and little game which former
" was 50 plentiful in America. There
r broad pastures In this reserve and
thickets Of scrub oak, heavy timber,
clear and eve living streams Of water
and rocky Businesses. Vegetation is
abundant; the climate is sslubrious APP
parently nature has done its bestt to make
these $1,000 acres a congenial haunt for
game animals and q grand, attractive
park for sportsmen and the seekers after
rest and recreation.
Many OF the beasts and birds which
abounded In plain and wood in this coun-
try q short time ago are doomed to an
early extinction unless the state and
federal governments take the proper
steps to assure protection. Except for
the few head stfll remaining in public
or private reservations, the bunaio has
been practically wiped out Of existence.
For some unaccountable Feason civil
iSation took q prejudice to this noble
animal It's value was never given .
fair test until within recent years. Il
has now been found that the bufalop pro-
pagates quickly, grows rapidly, Il hardy
and self-sustainlng upon the plains. its
hide makes ane leather. and its hesA Il
equal In favor and strength given quail
titles 70 that Of ordinary beef. In fact,
the buffalo is the native cattle OF this
country, Just as the Herefords, the Cal
loways and the Holsteins are the native
cattle Of Europe.
The bufalo is a docile creature, easily
dOmesticated, and very probably had we
not been 80 attached by custom to Eu-
ropean things we should have developed
II into the regular beef producer Of this
country. Wherever II has been inter
bred with domestic cattle, an improved
product has resulted. more able TO re-
sist disease and Withstand the inclem-
encies Of American weather.
The chief purpose Of the men who are
striving to have the Wichita forest re-
serve turned into q game preserve is to
secure a place where the remnants Of the
buffalo herds can be collected and saved
from determination. It is to be hoped
that they will obtain favorable action
from congress in aid Of this laudable
undertaking.

BLANK BALLOT MYSTERY.
How the Thousands OF Them Lost 81
New York Elections Are
Accounted For.

At the recent election 2,100 citizens Of
New York county and 1900 voters in
the other counties Of the Greater New
York cast blank ballots. There are
usually about 5000 blank ballots cast,
reports the Sun Of that city.
Itmay seem peculiar that several thou
sand citizens each year should take the
trouble to appear at the places Of regis
try to answer the questions necessary
for the enrolment Of their names, to at
tend the polling place on election day
and all for the apparent purpose Of cast
ing a blank vote, counting for neither
party nor for any candidate, when pre-
cisely the same result could be attained
by remaining away from the polls for
registration OF voting.
A blank ballot, as defined by the cleo
ton code, is one which contains no mark
Of indication whatever Of the purpose
or intention Of the voter. II is a ballot
which is returned to the election in-
spectors in precisely the same condition
as It was given to the voter.
Why do 1000 OF 5000 persons each
year in New York go through the un-
necessary formality Of voting blank bal
lots? It is one Of the questions which
no one has been able to answer, though
there are some explanations Of It which
are ct least reasonable.
There are some illiterate men who are
timid about revealing their iliteracy,
and they avoid the risk Of doing 50 By
voting blank. Then there are citizens
unconcerned in the outcome Of an cleo
ton who are induced to register and to
vote. They do vote, but their indiRer-
enc to the result Is revealed IN q blank
ballot.
There are. again, those who become
ratified in the polling place and hnd es-
cape from their perplexity by returning
the ballot given them folded but un-
marked to the inspectors.
Three thousand blank votes in q total
Of 600, 900 is half Of one per cent Of the
whole vote cast.
