Reserves For Wild Buffalo.

Our Indian experts believe they can
save the red men as a race by putting
them on vast reservations and teaching
them the arts of civilization. But the
wild forest comrades of the Indian in
his savage state do not thrive in cap
tivity. The few scattered flocks re-
naming as curiOsities about hold their
own, that Is ALL
Our forest reserves are the proper
place for buffalo raising. Under the
stringent laws now governing them
these noble creatures might be free
from the poachers and hunters who
have heretofore pursued them merely
for their hides. One of the best herds
remaining is in a climate and locality
admirably adapted to the species,
among the bluffs of the upper Missouri.
They are fine specimens. as are also a
small herd in Texas. Buffaloes will
thrive in Yellowstone park If they can
be protected against hide hunters and
from wolves and mountain lions, which
destroy the young.

Grappliug with Burglars.

Recently an athletic young man Of
prominence In q suburban neighbOr-
hood of New York was shot to death
at night In his own house. and some OF
the indications were that he died In q
hand to hand struggle with burglar.
Under ordinary circumstances this
view would have been accepted as cor
rect, for he was that kind Of a man.
He had often derided as cowardly the
fear among his neighb0rs Of burglars.
They should be hunted down at their
work, he insisted. and their calling
made too deadly dangerous for profit
In this case the victim in his cham
Der heard a noise as Of burglars, SO he
told his wife, and against her en-
treaties started downstairs, revolver In
hand. to carry out his pet theories.
There was a telephone In the house.
and be could have summoned the police
or other outside help. With burglars
in the house discretion Is the better
part Of valor, for all the advantage Of
the situation lies with the man from
the outside. Usually the householder

glars go armed to kill II attacked. but

They first study the plan of the house.
locate the sleeping rooms and the
probable plumber and. being alert, eau
follow every sound of one who stirs in
the house and attempts to surprise
them. The burglar has time to plan
his campaign and gather nerve before
the man of the house really knows
what the trouble is.
Burglars who break into premises
are not of the criminal stripe Of Or
binary sneak thieves or footpads. II
not courageous In the best sense they
are desperate. They expect to be shot
on sight. but intend to get the drop"
on the other fellow and can do 1t as a
rule. A sneak thief or a footpad ex-
poets easy work. II he meets with
sudden resistance 1t Is wholly unex-
pected. and his nerve collapses. But
burglar is a fighter In ambush. A
good soldier will not rush upon an enc
my in ambush, but resorts to strategy.
This is the cheapest in the end for the
householder whose citadel Is invaded.
If the burglar gets out with his loot he
may be shot down while making Off,
for then the tables are turned. He Is
in the open and the householder in am
bush.

them will reply, "St. Petersburg" 1t
may be a small matter, but in point of
fact the proper name is Petersburg. .
The English are the only folk who in

founded by Peter the Great and is
named after him. 1t is quite true that
Peter was one of the most extraordi-
nary men that ever filled a throne, but
no one would have been more astound-

saint. He neither lived nor died in the

A Dogs Yawu.

Did you ever see a dog cape? For
thoroughness and entire absence of af-
fectatiOn and mock shamefacedness
there is nothing like it. When he gapes
he doesn't screw his face into all sorts
Of unnatural shapes in an endeavor to
keep his mouth shut with his jaws
wide open. Neither does he put his
paw up to his face in an apologize
way while gaping in ambush, as it
were. No. When he gapes he is per-
fectly willing that the whole world
shall come to the show. He braces
himself firmly on his fore feet, stretch
es out his neck, depresses his head, and
his jaws open with graceful modera-
ton. At first it is but an exaggerated
grin, but when the cape is apparently
