white Buffalo.

Old buffalo hunters of the western
Kansas prairies used to tell of hav-
ing seen and pursued white buffalo.
There were white buffalo. albinos, such
as are found at rare intervals in all
the families of the animal kingdom.
but the number of those which existed
in fact and of those which existed
purely in the Imagination, says the
Kansas City Journal. were in wonder
full disproportion.
In 1873 old Ben Garfield, who roam
ed the plains, with his tall. gaunt wife
for a companion. followed herd of
buffalo from the northern edge Of what
Nebraska, thinking to kill big white
bull which he had seen in the herd.
After three weeks Of patient stalking
Garfield did kill the bull. only to find
that the whiteness of its appearance
was due to a coat of whitewash.
An explanation of this phenomenon
would not be needed by people familiar
with the natural lime beds of western
Kansas. The habit Of the buffalo is
to roll or wallow in every pool of wa
ter or mudhole to which he comes.
Canfleld's buffalo had simply been roll
ing In a bed of the native lime, which,
when dried in the sun, coated his hide
with kind Of plaster.
No doubt these lime holes account
for many of the white buffalo" SO of.

From early times pestilence has been
regarded as one Of the. accompani-
ments Of earthquakes. Nor is this per-
haps mere tfigment Of superstition,
Many instances of epidemics following
upon earthquakes are on record, says
the Lancet. Thus in 557-6Q A, D.,
earthquake years, Constantinople was
visited by a pestilence, and In 61a
A. D.. after more than decade Of 'seis-
mic disturbances which extended from
Japan to the Mediterranean, the whole
of Italy was visited, according to Sigor
pius. by a fearful epidemic, Of WHICH
the nature is not recorded. Old writ
ers, such as Won I1enciz, an authority
on the Lisbon earthquake of 1856,
were wont to attribute the pronenesx
to disease exhibited by whole popula-
tions during earthquake season to
shaken nerves begotten of prolonged
suspense and broken rest at night.

Why" he said, with shrewd wink,
II shall buy several thousand bags

He came out of this speculation and
almost every other in which be EN-.

business in butter. and eggs and be-
came the master Of the spice market
of the world. Once he imported an en-.
tire cargo of pepper. He had only a
dim idea of where coffee and spice
came from. and usually spoke Of the
places as way off," His books were
kept by single entry, as he refused to,
understand any other system. A small
paper memorandum carried in the lin
ing Of his high hat was his chief re-
lance in regard to his business affairs.

Wanted-Twa Good Murderers.

Wanted-Two Good Murderers.
Some curious letters passed between
Garrick and man named Stone. The
latter was employed to get recruits for
the low parts of the drama. and one
night he wrote to Garrick, "Sir, the
bishop Of Winchester is getting drunk
at the Bear and swears he will not
play tonight"
At first sight this seems peculiar
conduct for bishop. but it should be
explained that the communication only
refers to the man engaged to take that
character in the play Of Henry VIII"
On another occasion Garrick wrote
to Stone: IF you can get me two good
murderers will pay you handsomely,
particularly the spouting fellow who
keeps the apple stall on Tower hill.
The cut in his face Is Just the thing.
Pick me up an alderman or two for
Richard II you can, and have no OH

It has been said that thunderstorms
are influenced by the moon. Nearly
1900 observations collected by the
United States weather bureau show
preponderance Of 33 per cent In the
first half Of the lunar month. The
greatest number of thunderstor1ns
come between the new moon and the
first quarter and the least number be-
tween the fnll moon and the last quar-
ter. This Is perhaps the only satisfac-
tory evidence that the weather IL at all
influenced b the moon.

Insect Temperatures.

The temperature of the human body
is essentially the same in the tropics
and in the polar zones. Insects ut rest
have temperature practically the
same as that of the surrounding air
in ordinary conditions Of heat and of
humidity. Under usual conditions the
temperature Of an insect rises with
that Df the surrounding air, only more
slowly. When the air is very moist the
insects temperature may rise more
rapidly than that Of the air. When
the insect begins to move. its tempera-
ture rises and continues to rise until
the motion ceases.

PARKER is WITH BRYAN.
Gold Democrats Are Beginning to See
That That Esopus Telegram
Was a Fake.

1t was demonstrated beyond all ques-
tion at the st. Louis convention that
no platform could be adopted which in
any way recognized the gold standard.
A plank which barely admitted that
extraordinary and unforeseen proiuc.
ton of gold had made that metal toler-
able as standard for the time being
was voted down by the committee on
resolutions. Such was the strength
and temper of the Bryanites that no
body ventured to offer that feeble reso-
luton or any other relating to the
money question in open convention.
When the famous message from
Esopus was received, says the Chi
cago Chronicle, 1t was not deemed safe,
to ask the convention to indorse EVEN
that Delphic deliverance. The most
the convention could be brought to do
was to say that in It's opinion the
standard question was out of the cam
paign.
1t Is just as certain that no man
could have been nominated for presi-
dent by that convention who was sus-
petced by the Bryanites Of favoring
the gold standard. Judge Parker was
nominated because 1t was known that
he had voted for Bryan in 1896 and
1900 and had pointed to that record
when. anybody wanted to know where
he stood on the standard question.
When his message from Esopus was
received in st. Louis the leading Bry-
antics were furious. Caught by the
artful wording, as were Cleveland,
Cochran and others Of the gold con-
tingent, they were for pitching Parker
overheard incontinently until the
Parker managers who were in the
secret pointed out to the excited sill
verites that Parker had not committed
himself to the gold standard at all.
1t was only then that they con.
scented to confirm the nomination. II
they had not been convinced that he
was silver man playing verbal trick
to catch the votes Of gold men they
would have demonstrated very quickly
that no gold man could be nominated
and as completely as they had already
demonstrated that no gold plank could
be adopted.
Those gold democrats who have not
yet seen this will see 1t distinctly be-
fore election day.
