in the meantime it is very desirable
| that those who are now, and who for
months have been. working so hard for
this cause, should be assured of the co
| operation Of all who have the interest of
| our native animals at heart. The sue
| cess Of the movement would be benefi-
cial to the entire nation. and therefore II
should have the support Of the nation.
That means the support Of the reader Of
this article, just rs much as that of the
man in Cincinnati. OF 81. Louis. The
| preservation Of the buffalo is probably
dependent on governmental action in the
matter, since in the hands Of the govern

bring nearer to US the day when this
great animal will be out Of Langer. In
the entire United States there are nov
only 600-odd buffaioes, exclusive Of those
confined in public parks and gardens,
and which cannot be counted on to assist
in the perpetuation OF the race. The ma
jority of these are in three here's. the
Corbin herd at Newport, \. H.; the Pab-

James Philips herd in South Dakota, II
tuberculosis or other contagious disease
were to carry off any IA Of these herds.
the fate of the a c would probably be
sealed, as even now there are nCn too
many strains t. allow for tho necessary
interchange OF blood. This danger could
be avoided at once If the government d.
vided these herds into Smaller mes and
provided for their maintenance on sep
sratc reservations.
While speaking on this subject with
an old plainsman the other day, he re-
marked:
We'll, there is no other native animal
toward which Americans should have So
kindly a feeling as for the buffalo; it has
done more toward the civilization OF the
country than al, the rest put together.
To the explorer and early settlers il was
an unfailing supply of the best kind CT
food. and many a hundred times have
thirsty t~radvelers been more than CRATE,

buffalo wallows. And who shall say bow

SAVE THE BUFFALO
THE MOVEMENT FOR THIS is
GAINING GROUND.
Ernest Harold Baynes Tells of the Men
and Societies Assisting in This
Work-The Real Ameri-
can Animal.

The movement for the preservation
OF the last few hundred specimens OF
American buffalo, not long since the
most numerous of the earth's big man.
mails, Is rapidly gaining ground. The
deep regret OF the American people at
the fact that their grandest native ami
NAL has all but disappeared, finds eX-
preston in a hundred ways, Naturalists
and true sportsmen are meeting, both in
public and in private, not to discuss the
ACCESSIBILITY or the possibility of pre-
serving the animal-thosc points have
been decided once and for all by the best
authorities in the country-but TO con-
slider and formulate wise plans for its
preservation. Naturalists VINO have
never lectured or spoken in public be-
fore are raising their voices in this
cause; they know that if they have any
thing to say in the interest of the buffa-
10, they must say ii at cree or il will be
TOO late. And men aye. and women. TOO,
who are not naturalsts. but who are low
ers OF things which live, are helping the
movement by expressing to others their
interest in il.
The interest Of scientific bodies is be-
ing aroused. and almost every day We
hear OF sone sporjsman's club or nat
ural history society discussing the sub
iect of the buffalo and passing resol1-
lions expressing sympathy with the
movement now en- foot to save him.
Some have zone even further than this,
and are even now agitating the question
Of organizing q national society. whose
object shall be to arrange for the preser-
walton of the typical American mammal.
The first step has been taken, the men
and women who took it are in earnest,
aud it is safe to preCict that. before the
buffalo has grown his heavy coat to pro-
tect him from next winters cold. his
friends will have gathered around him

him from the colder hand of the fate
