HEAD OF THE BISON SOCIETY.
 stand the Indian and the life he led in the early days; I believe that these same people and many more, will ad- init the debt we owe the buffalo for the great part he played in ''the win ming of the West" Of Americans born. there must be many, many thousands whose relatives or friends would have suffered hunger, if not starvation, but for the presence of the vast herds of buffalo beyond the Mis- sissippi. and no doubt there are many who from personal experience can tes- tify 10 the great value of the animal to those obliged to traverse the will derness in times gone by.
 Of buffalo-domestic cattle hybrids. I will say nothing at this time. beyond stating that in all probability the rearing of them will be profitable. The american Bison society will in- terest itself in the preservation of the full-blooded buffalo. When this is as- sured 1t will be time enough to think about constructing If we don't save the full-bloods we can't even have hybrids.
 It is 90 well known that. under proper management. buffaloes multi ply rapidly and that they are both easy and inexpensive to rear. it $ hardly necessary to repeat it: tke point nov is to have the government undertake this work until the herds are sufficiently large to warrant their distribution to stock raisers. farmers and others who may desire to handle them Tn order that congress may feel justified in appropristing the money necessary to do this. 1t is nee essary that a great number of Amsri- cans shall show their interest in the matter There are many rays m which they can do this. but the most direcf vsy just nor Is to support the AnefIcz1 Bison society by becoming a nenstsr of t.

Manufacturers of Chi
 cago Hit Back. COLLISION CHARGED
Charging of Percentage for the Collection of Out of Town Cheeks May Cause
 a Big Fight.

Chicago, Jan. 4-Action which may materialize in prosecution of Chicago bankers in the federal courts for 9io- lation of the antitrust law, was begun yesterday by the Illinois Manufactllr- CTS Association. The manufacturers are aroused at the recent decision Of the Chicago clearing house association that all it's banks charge tax for the collection of out of town checks. This formerly has been done without cost to Chicago tradesmen.
 At a meeting of the manufacturers association resolutions were adopted. authorizing Attorney Levy Meyer, its counsel, to take steps to combat the charge and to begin legal action if necessary.
 The ultimatum of the manufacturers will be submitted to the bankers at a meeting of two committees represent ing the two organizations at the Chi cago National bank to-day. Repre- sentatives of the opposing interests are firm in their positions and break between the two organizations is ex- pected.
 By the schedule of exchange rates sent the manufacturers by the differ ent banks a charge of from 1-1O to If of one per cent. is to be made for col lectiOns of out of town checks, the amount varying according to the re- moteness from Chicago. This, the manufacturers say would amount to $25,O0O a day, total loss to them and clear profit to the banks, unless they could get the additional charge from their customers, which they say they could not do without endangering their business prosperity. They base their hope of legal redress on the pos sibility of proving collision on the part of the bankers in violation of the provision of the antitrust law prevent ing an agreement to fix prices.

BANDED WAY FOR HORSE
Large Crowd on North Square Watched the
 Operation.

An unusual sight attracted a large crowd on North square last evening as the factories were letting out their help. A man was scattering sand from pan in front of horse that was walking slowly few feet in the rear with its harness dangling. The horse was part of a grocery outfit and had fallen on the icy pavement of the square. Being smoothly shot 1t was unable to get up and Officer Donahue and a dozen men passed ropes and blankets under it and raised it. Then it could not walk without danger of falling again. so finally the driver got the pan of sand and strewed a path across the square to place of safety beyond the smooth pavement.

THE BISON SOCIETY.
Organization Which Aims to Preserve
 the Buffalo.

The movement for the preservation of the last few hundred buffalo, which
 was started nearly two years ago, and which has been growing steadily ever since, will hereafter be conducted by The American Bison society, nation al organization of which President Roosevelt is the chief officer and lead ing spirit
 The 5,000,000 or 6,000,0OO buffalo, which, less than 35 years ago, caused the western plains to tremble beneath their hoofs, and which constituted one of the wonders of the world, have vanished, and there remain, to repre- sent them, some 500 or 700 head, ex- elusive of those in the geological gardens, which do not count when we come to the question of the preserva- tion of the species. Most of these are
 in a few widely-scattered punches only two 3f which, the Corbin herd at Newport, N. H., and the Pablo herd on the Flathead Indian reservation, Montana, contain ovef 100 head Of this little remnant of the once mighty hosts, not single animal is safe; every owner in the onuntry- is williIsy and some very anxious to sell, and I doubt if there is a. herd in the country whi3 would not be sold tomorrow morning if customer appeared with the money. In the large herds there is another menace to the race-con- tagious disease. to several forms of which the buffalo is subject, though less so than domestic cattle. If tu- berculosis or the hoof and mouth dis ease should attack one of the three or four comparatively large punches, the fate of the buffalo might be sealed then and there, as even now the num- Der of herds is so small that it will probaDly require careful management to prevent excessive inbreeding.
 The American Bison society be- lieves that these dangers can be avoid- ed in just one way, and that is by governmental ownership of all avail able pure.blooded buffaloes.
 Personally. believe that the strong sentiment in favor of our greatest American animal is sufficient to save him, if those who feel it will only speak. believe there are tens of thousands of people who can appre- ciate the buffalo as a great character in American history, in whose living

II Men Were Insects.

Out of every five animals in the AMI
NAL kingdom four are insects. of which
there are 100000 species. In human
world of that sort for every gigantic
man there would be four pygmies and
of the pygmies 100000 distinct races.
These pygmies would be made up Of a
head, middle body and hind body,
each of which would be composed of
hard, shell-llke rings, and because their
bodies were thus divided or insected
they might be called insects. Their
legs would grow out of either the mid.
die body or the hind body. They would
breathe through holes in the middle
body and eat, drink, see, smell. with
all kinds OF apparatus made for the
purpose In various and often widely
separated parts OF the body. II some
Of these pygmies were young, weighed
a pound and ate like a silkworm, they
would In two months devour forty five
tons of food. 1t is scarcely remarkable,
therefore, what millions of grasshop-
pers will do to a cornfeld or gypsy
moths to an apple orchard.

There was a Jere Clemens who was
Z United States senator and in his day
enjoyed the usual senatorial fame-a
fame which perishes whether 1t spring
from four years service or forty. Aft
er Jere Clemens fame as senator
passed away he was still remembered
for many years on account Of another
service which he performed. He shot
old John Browns Governor Wise in
the hind leg In a duel. However, l am
not very clear about this. 1t may be
that Governor Wise shot him In the
hind leg. However, | don't think 1t is
important. | think that the only thing
that is really important Is that one of
them got shot in the hind leg. 1t would
have been better and nobler and more
historical and satisfactory If both OF
them had got shot in the hind leg. But
1t Is OF no use for me to try to recol
lect history. | never had historical
mind Let 1t so. Whichever way it
happened, | am glad OF it, and that Is
as much enthusiasm as l can get up
for a person bearing my name. But
am forgetting the first Clemens, the
one that stands farthest back toward
the really original first Clemens, which
was Adam.-From Mark Twain's Auto
biography in North American Review.

Among the North American Indians
The origin of the use Of masks lay,
says a writer, I'm the desire to conceal
the emotions. Thus should two war
riors meet In combat the mask con-
ceals any expression whether or SYM

stance, the knowledge that fear was
depicted on ones face and that his
antagonist knew It would very pos
slbly insure the defeat of the one
whose feelings were betrayed to the
other. So In religious ceremonies the
orator wears mask that he may
speak his inspired words without In
reference or embarrassment, either of

awed by anything, a condition which
might ensue If he We're recognized by

inspiration which comes without eff
