though the knowing ones found the
buffalo steak superior to that Of the
teef Of commerce.
The excitement Of the old-time buff
falo hunt was whetted By the danger
which It entailed. for, while the huge
animal Of the plains was. generally
speaking. a peaceable beast, the habits
Of the bison were such that TO become
entanzled in a herd was a perilous DO
sition for both horse and rider. They
were easily frightened. and, Ike sheep
followed their leaders blindly. This
fact also made It difficult for the old
bulls who always grazed at the head
OF the herd to stop a stampede. when
once It occurred. The force behind
them would push them forward. and
many instances are known where the
leaders. stumbling or pushed over a
cliff, would have the whole herd piled
up over them In a nanzIed mass. II
Is easy to see the perils Of a hunter
against a force Ike this. which, once
started. did not stop until exhaustion

was a science. and was only TO be en-
gagged In safely By those who thor
oughly understood the methods Of their

How Crane Mimicked Robson.

When Robson and Crane acted the
Comedy Of Errors together. Mr..
Cranes "Dromio' was the most nota-
BILE feature Of the performance, for
while Robson simply represented him
self in the garb Of the Syracuse ser
want, Crane gave an excellent exhibit
ton Of his mimetic powers by duplicat-
ing the "Dromio" Of his associate. He
thus describes the opening night:
ut was one Of the most intensely
exciting nights l ever experienced be-
hind the scenes. In making up. Rob
son dropped a huge daub OF grease
paint on the front Of his tUnic. Out Of
pure consideration for art, l painted
similarly dirty device on my garment.
But Robson nearly destroyed the fine
fabric Of consistency. to the consTuc-
ton OF which I had sacrificed the
cleanliness Of my attire, by walking
on absent-mindedly in the second act
with a smoking cigar protruding from
his mouth. Just previous to his en-
trance in the first act he detained his
J speech in the wings, and from this
took the key, which I had to hold con-
stantly in mind. My lines were only
nartly committed. so that between
thinking Of Robson's peculiar voice
and mannerisms-which l was expect
ed 10 initiate faithIully-and Of m!
own speeches-which should have beer
delivered with equal fidelity to Shak
