TO PRESERVE THE BUFFALO
Efforts Are Made to Protect the Few
Remaining Herds

A plea was recently made to congress
to preserve the few remaining herds
Of buffaloes in the United States. BY
maintaining several herds the govern
ment hopes to preserve this almost ex-
tinct race which at one time roamed at
will over the western prairies. Most Of
the herds of buffaloes now in this coun-
try are private property, though there
are few in the Yellowstone and other
parks. OF those owned by private par
ties there are as rule, about sixty in
a herd, and as they are allowed to roam
at will over the farms they are prac-
tically harmless, though wild.
James ]. Hill of st. Paul has large
6O00-acre farm in Minnesota on which
there are about twenty buffaloes. A
large herd is owned by Buffalo Jones of
Kansas, and Montana boasts of herd
near Kalispiel numbering seventy-five.
Maine has a herd owned by the Blue
Valley Forest association. These are
about all there are of these valuable
animals, but enough to extend their
cultivation. A queer herd of pure
bloods and half-breeds roam at will in
Missouri, and in Texas there is herd
of small buffaloes at Goodnight.

WHY HE WAS TIRED

Oratorcal Test

There are tricks in every trade, -

Mr.. SINNERS was lunching in a
Washington restaurant. He had just
come from the White House, where he
had been calling on the president. 1t
was Mr.. SINNERS, years ago, who
taught the young and inexperienced
Theodore Roosevelt the cowboys art.
Hence he is today the presidents warm
friend.
YES" he resumed, "there are tricks
in every trade. Take the trade of a
lawyer, for instance. Did you ever
wonder why lawyers make such long
speeches-speeches a day long, two
days long, and even three days long?
"I used to wonder about this matter
myself. One night a lawyer accidental
ly explained 1t to me. We were taking
walk together and he said:

tired to death.
"'Why are you so tired?' said I.
