BIG BUFFALO HERD.
Montana Indian Owns Three Hundred
Head.

There are several herds of buffalo
in America. but all of them combined
would not equal in size the Allerd
herd of the Flathead reservation in
Montana The herd sprang from two
buffalo calves captured twenty years
ago by an Indian.
Charles Allerd, one of the leading
braves of the reservation, took the
calves and, capturing a few others,
started out with a herd of five 1t
was his intention to fatten them like
beeves, and use them when hunting
was poor. Major Peter Roonan, at that
time Indian agent at the reservation.
suggested to Allerd that it might be a.
good idea to breed the buffalo, as the
animals were becoming scarce in that
territory.
The herd now numbers 800 and is
valued at a quarter of a million dol
lars. Allerd has given but little at
tention to his buffaloes. They have
made little attempt to leave the little
valley of the Flathead. where they
have been pastured. Mountain walls
easily barred any such inclination.
and the Indians along the various
Charley ATerd's herd did not escape
Allerd did not realize that he was
wealthy man until one day he was
offered 5000 for one of his herd by
circus agent.
Parts of the herd have been exhibit
ed all over the United States. They
were one of the great attractions of
the Worlds fair in Chicago.
Just before Allerd died he called on
the man who had suggested the buff
falo breeding idea and gave him
present of $500.
Two half-breed sons survive the old
Indian. When they need money they
kill the oldest buffalo in the herd and
sell it to Butte butchers. The hide
brings $500 and the meat sells for an
other $500. The meat finds ready
sale in Butte at 81 a pound. Wealthy
miners and others pay from SO to
s12 for the choicest cuts and invite
their friends in for buffalo dinner.
The herd is increased by thirty or
forty calves every year and for some
unknown reason this band of buffalo
thrives much better than the inmates
of the Yellowstone National park.
Both the Allerd boys have. travelled
extensively and are well educated. 1t
is the hobby of one of them to har-
ness his two biggest bulls in a team
and ride at breakneck speed through
the streets of Missoula. Many of the
bulls in the herd are wild, and great
difficulty is experienced in loading
them for shipment. One magnificent
bull recently charged from one end
of the. car to the other, striking with
such terrific force that he broke his
neck. The Al1erd herd is the only eff
fort made to perpetuate the fast dis
appearing monarches of the plains

the same material cost purchasers in
this country $50 a ton. More direct evil
dence of the same thing was offered the
commissioners at their Boston sessions.
But it seems Mr.. Wallace's informant
explained that the reason for selling
steel so cheaply abroad was that the

NUMBER SEVEN IN THE BIBLE
Multiples of the Figure Recur Signifi-
cantIy in the New Testament.

The phenomena of the figure and it's
multiples occurring in the New Tesla
ment have been touched upon by Ivan
Panin, Russian student of the Bible.
home at Grafton, Mass. This significance
of the seven" group will not be lost even
upon the superstitiouS who are outside
the pale of scriptural points, and, as Mr.
Panin has shown them, their relations of
their groupings to the first eleven verses
of the New Testament must suggest that
they were scarcely chance.
For instance, in these first eleven verses
of Matthew, the vocabulary consists of
forty-nine words, or seven sevens: of
these words there are twenty-eight. or
four sevens, which begin with vowels.
and twenty-one, or three Sevens, which
begin with consonants.
This distribution by sevenS between
vowel words nda conSonant words justly
might have been deemed accidental but
for the fact that of the forty-nine words
forty-two of them are nouns-six sevens--
and seven are not nouns is the COM
ment of the writer. of the forty-two
nouns there are thirty-five proper nouns,
or five sevenS, while seven are common
nouns. OF the thirty-five proper names
four sevenS are male ancestors of Jesus
and seven are not such. Not only then
is the distribution of the forty-nine words
of the Voca bulary OF sevens as between
vowel words and consonant. words, but
also as between the parts of speech"
AS a further and absolute proof that
accidental. Mr.. Panin points out that the
forty-nine words of the vocabulary show
fourteen words that are used but once,
while thirty-fve of them, or five sevens

the seven features are that mot even
