tender years to frequent and dance
at a hall in the rear of q saloon.
In Diminishing the case, in which

clinging to the bushes, so I hurried after
them as fast as l could go with two cam
eras, one in each hand. Now, part of
this reserve was once a farming coun-
try, and a few of the old farmhouses are
still standing. Some of these are in good
repair, and are kept as shooting camps,
and are used by the members of the blue
Mountain Forest association in the hunt
ing season. Others have gone more or
less to decay, and are now perhaps the
/ homes of wild cats and other forest crea-
lures, and in the floors of some of them
there are great holes gnawed by the
teeth Of porcupines, After toiling after
the buffaloes for perhaps three miles, l
came upon the herd on a wide open space
in the rear of one of of these old farm
heuses-some grazing and others lying
down, all as contented as a herd of.do-
nestle cattle. Cautiously I approached
the front of the house, quietly removed
a window, crawled intoa musty room and
drew the cameras in after me. Going
through to the rear l could see the whole
herd in full view from the back windows.

LIKED THE CONSTITUTION.
German Immigrant Wanted Natural.
ization Papers and Got
Them Easily.

r. v. Powderly, formerly commits
sioner general of immigration, tells a
story of a certain German immigrant
who, Just after landing In New York,
became very friendly with the Inspector
who examined him, says the Philadel-
phia Post. As he remained in New
York. where he was employed by one Of
the big hotels, the friendship became
permanent.
When the period of five years resi-
dence in the United States, requisite to
the obtaining of naturalization papers,
had passed, the Teuton sought out the
Inspector, with inquiries as to what
steps 1t woufd be necessary for him to
take to obtain his citizenship papers.
So his friend gave him the necessary
advice, and in a spirit of kindness
promised to go with the German to the
Judge to whom application for naturali-
cation was to- be made.
The usual heterogeneous were asked
among which was:
"You have read the constitution Of
this country"
mo, your honor" responded the Ger
man stolidly; mo. I half not reed del
constitution; but my trent Krause hi
baf read 1t to me. UndSI Wish. to say dot

Ernest Harold Baynes Tells Of Photo
graphing Herd on a New Hamp-
shire Presefve-Getting
Very Scarce.

/ am particularly interested In buff
faloes for several reasons, In the
first place. they are the most magnih-
cent hoofed animals on the western
hemisphere, and in the next place they
are almost extinct. Less than so years
g they were probably the most num-
erous large wild animals in the world,
and to-day there are possibly 800 In ex-
istence. About a third Of these, some
thing over 600, are wild and inhabit a
desolate region southwest Orwell,
never mind just where 1t is. The rest are
either in captivity in geological gar
dens. or in what might be termed semi
captivity in big game preserves. The
largest herd in semiconfinement is that
in the Blue Mountain forest, otherwise
known as Corbin park, a vast preserve
some sevenSmiles north Newport, N. H.
There are at this writing approximately
$50 buffalo of all ages in this herd, and
these great shaggy beasts roam at will
owe their kingdom Of 10000 acres, con-
fined only by a fence So miles in length.
Here, in a country of wild mountain for
ests, bushy thickets, swampy lowlands
and grassy plains, the buffaloes thrive
and increase in numbers every year,
and it is here that l have the privilege of
studying their habits, and Of photo
graphing the animals themselves to my
hearts content.
A few days later, very early n morn
ing, | came upon a herd Of buffalo, more
than a hundred, all told, grazing on a
piece of high land where they had spent
the night. l set off home and returned
with two cameras, hoping to get a pic
ture of the herd. But before | could get
quite near enough, some of the beasts
caught sight of me, and by q few deep
grunts warned the rest, and the whole
lot were soc galloDing away down a
hill, across a swamp and into a wood
where they were lost to view. However.

season, by the lunches Of hair left

Down on Manchuria's sandy fiat
There loafs Russian gent;
He's of the tribe called Muscovat,
His face is somewhat bent;
And every evening there was a Jap
Who came with troops to lead,
And by the light of the moon he'd
scrap
And raise a row indeed
And when they were all alone
To him the Jap would crone:
Chorus:
"Kuro, Kuro, my Kuropat,
Id like to find out where you're at
If you will meet me on the mat,
I'll throw a Kuropat"
This Russian told the Japanee
He wanted time to think,
And vodka that enough would be
To drive himself to drink,
" A shell of it bring from the store"
He answered: Have no fear,
I'll bring you shells, and then some
more,
If there are siege guns near"
With JOY the Russian sighed,
AS then the Jap guy cried:

ELEPHANTS PERFORM
WONDERFUL FEATS

The trained animal exhibition with
Ringing Brothers worlds greatest
shows surpasses anything of the kind
ever attempted From their immense
herd of 40 elephants they present
three large groups in separate ring
performances, the features of which
must be seen to be appreciated. The
huge beasts move with incredible
speed, and thoroughly enjoy the UNI
natural things they are called upon
to do. They play at mimic war,
dance dreamy waltzes, lively two
steps and stately minuets, humorous
ly enact farcical skits, stand on their
heads and balance their ponderous
bodies with all the skill of human
performers. They also play musical
instruments with marvellous result
of tuneful tone. Pearl Souder di-
reefs this remarkable exhibition.
Herr Souder claims the elephant is
the most intelligent, faithful and
useful of all wild animals and AYERS
with impressive solemnity that the
monster beasts have language as
we'll as a degIee of human intelli-
gence an understanding, which he
is able to translate and thereby get
into closer sympathy with his great
charges. The wonderful things they
do at his suggestion give a color of
probability to this claim. 1t is the
sight of a lifetime to see 40 ele-
plants in one big company, and that
is the privilege offered by Ringing
Brothers in the menagerie annex to
their worlds greatest shows.

JEFF. And JACK READY
FOR BIG FIGHT

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-All
eyes in the sporting world are now
turning toward San Francisco. In
this city tomorrow night, in the ring
of the Yosemite Athletic club, James
j. Jeffries, the worlds champion
heavyweight pugilist, will defend his
title against Jack Monroe, the for
mer Butte miner, who is conceded
to be worthy opponent of the cham
pion even though he may not be
capable of defeating him.
To experts of the game few fights
of later years will be more interest
ing. The two gladiators completed
their work of preparation today, and
from now on until the gong calls
them into the ring they will take
just enough exercise to keep in con-
dition. Reports of most confident
nature come from both camps.
A close comparison of the two
warriors shows considerable bal
ance in favor of Jeffries He will
enter the ring weighing in the neigh
borhood of 220 pounds, as against
1875 of Monroe. The champion, more
over, towers a full two inches over
Monroe, and is nearly three inches
longer in the reach. He is as fast
as the miner, or faster. He has
heavier punch with his left hand.
but it is to be doubted if he has a
superior right. A good punch with
Monroes right, it is conceded by all
who have seen him fight, is sufficient
to put the best of them to sleep if
it lands on the right spot.
In the matter of ring experience
Jeffries has another tremendous adj
vantage over Monroe. 1t is no ex-
aggeration to say that he has fought
ten hard battles for every one in
which the Montana man has en-
gagged. Among the opponents which
he has vanquished are Corbett, Fitz-
