HOME FOR THE BUFFALO.
Appea1 for Setting Aside Hame
Preserve In oklahoma

Annea1 for Setting Aside a tame
Preserve In oklahoma
pofora II ia too late, it would be well
for the people of Oklahoma to interest,"
themselves in the scheme to establish
q big game preserve in the Wichita
mountains. There Is great forest re-
serve in the hills of southwestern Ok
lohoma set aside by Congress many
wears ago. 1t contains $4,000 acres OF
land excellently adapted for the big
and little game which formerly was so
nIenttful in America. There are broad
nastures in this reserve, and th1ckets
If scrub oak, heavy timber, clear and
everything streams of water, and rock
Businesses. Vegetation is abundant;
the climate Is salubrious. Apparently
nature has done its best to make these
$4,000 acres q congenial haunt for
game animals and grand, attractive
mark for sportsmen and the seekers
after rest and recreation.
Many Of the beasts and birds which
abounded in plain and wood In this
country short time ago are doomed
to an early extinction unless the State
and Federal governments take the
proper steps to assure protection. Ex-
cent for the few head still remaining
In public or private reservations, the
buffalo has been practically wiped out
Of existence.
For some unaccountable reason, civ
ilization took prejudice to this no
BILE animal. Its value was never given
fair test until within recent years.
It has now been found that the buffalo
propagates quickly, grows rapidly, is
hardy and self-sustaining upon the
plains, it's hide makes fine leather and
its flesh is equal in favor and strength
giving qualities to that of ordinary
beef. In fact, the buffalo is the ma
tive cattle Of this country, just as the
Herefords, the Galloways, and the Hol-
stems are the native cattle of Europe
The buffalo is a docile creature east
ly domesticated, and probably had we
not been so attached by custom to
European things we should have de-
veloped it into the regular beef-pro-
Queer Of this country. Wherever it has
been interbred with domestic cattle, an
improved product has resulted, more
able to resist disease and withstand the
inclemencies Of American weather.
The chief purpose Of the men who
are striving to have the Wichita for
est reserve turned into a game pre-
serve is to secure a place where the
Of the buffalo herd can be
and saved from extermina-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that they will
obtain favorable action from Congress
In aid Of this laudable undertaking.

INDIAN "MEOIClNE" FIRES,

The CreskS Brought the Sacred Flame
from Alabama.
With the beginning Of the new year
the secret visit Of the chief medicine
man Of the Greeks was made to see
that the tribal fires in the Indian
towns are kept burning according to
tradition, says the Kansas City Star.
From time as old as Creek history. it
mas been a custom among the full
blood Greeks to keep a medicine fire
burning constantly In each Indian
town. When the Creeks migrated from
Alabama to Indian Territory in 1888
this sacred fire was brought with them,
linen, as now, official flrekeepers were
appointed by the tribe, whose special
duty 1t was to see that this fire was
Kept alive constantly. On the long
march from Alabama, day and night
thls tre was never allowed to die out
The fire was kept then for both practi-
cal use and belief that if it once went
out dire misfortune would befall the
tribe.
Inc first Indian town established
IN Indian Territory was Alabama
named for the old home. In Ala.
oama the tribal fire was built and the
permanent home of the Creeks estab-
l1shed. Since that time there hovo
been established forty-four Indian
towns that still exist From this CON.

LIONS AND ROSES.


"a playful lion is terrlDle tnlhs
With oven a tap from one of his paws
he can break the neck Of horse says
Frank Rostock in his recent book, ''Ihe
Training of Wild Animals" He goes
on TO declare that far more minor III
turies to trainers result from mere
playfulness, awkwardness or misunder'
standing on the part of their dangerous
pupils than from vicious 1ntenuon
Even the more serious or fatal III
iuries not unfrequently begin with an
accident, the latent ferocity Of the WIZ
beast being then aroused by the slgh'
of blood or at the sudden realization
of it's power to harm.
| OF this power it is the object OF
every trainer to keep the animal III
ignorance; and for that reason, as wen
as because punishment for an onense
it did not understand would mercy
make the creature sulky, no animal Is
ever punished for an injury which II
inflicts without savage intent.
One trainer who was in the habit OF
greeting his favorite bear by putting
his face close for a morning caress'
once thoughtlessly did so from without
the cage instead Of waiting to enter
it. Finding the bars prevented as
near an approach as usual, bru1n IN
nocently extended a great paw and
tried to draw his friends face closer.
That trainer carries a Scared cheek
still, and it was long thought he
would lose the sight of an eye; but
there was no interruption of the
affectionate relations of himself and his
pet. The bear had simply failed to
understand that what would not hurt
the tough hide of a fellow bear would
hurt the skin of a man.
During performance a fayorite
lion, Young Wallace, in a playful
mood once made a grab at the whip
which his trainer was carelessly tap
ping against his boot. The stroke was
gentle,-for a lion,-but the terrible
curved claws penetrated both leather
and flesh, and were caught for Sec
ond in the boot Jerked out again by
the startled lion, as he felt them held,
they inflicted a most painful wound.
But Wallace was not even reprimand-
ed.
Perhaps the most curious accident
was that which befell a woman train
er, who one day thOughtlessly replaced
the light whip she had been in the
habit Of carrying by a bunch Of deep
red roses. Instantly one Of her lions
sprang at them, severely clawing her
face and neck. Any wild animal will
jump for meat and he mistook the red
mass for his dinner. She had presence
of mind enough to toss the dangerous
flowers far from her, when all four
Of her lions rushed upon them eagerly.
A few minutes of surprised paving
and smiling ensued, passing rapidly to
and disgust; then the
great beasts, without even being order
ed, climbed leisurely back upon their
pedestals, and were ready for their
usual act. She did not fail to remain
and put them through it, otherwise she
could never have done so again. She
found them quite as docile as usual,
but she never carried roses among
lions again. 1t is an attention too like
" to be misunderstood The queen Of
lowers Is not appreciated by the king
If beasts.
