PAVED WITH BUFFALO SKULLS.
 ---- Wealth Thrown Ava by Early Bone Hunters of Kansas Prairies.

Though comparatively few people know 1t, there was day when Seneca street on the west side was paved with buffalo skulls and horns and many a horse has been snagged by the crooked horns which stuck up through the road in muddy times. For a long time in an early day al travellers by wagon to the West avoided this street on this account
 In the light of subsequent values this Twas the most expensive pavement on earth. A pair of buffalo horns and the head of an animal of that breed will easily bring $4O0. Thousands of them were thrown away In an early day, and 1t happened that Seneca street was the dumping ground for them. When the first settlers struck this part of the country farming was virtu- ally impossible, and mighty litle of Ii was done at the start. One of the first things the new conner learned was that he could sell buffalo horns in Wichita and as the prairies were covered with | them he loaded up his wagon with the only crop in sight and drove in. Ev- lerybody did 1t.
 l When Senator Hemenway of Indiana who had claim in Harper county in those days, begins to talk about his Kansas experience the first thing he recounts is that he hauled buffalo l bones to Wichita. Nearly all the new corners believed they could sell skull
 and horns, too, so they brought then along with the rest of the bones. But 1 there was no market quotations or
 skulls and horns, and the city authori' l ties made the newcomers take them out of town on their return trips. Some
 one started dumping at Seneca street
 then a country road and section line
 and everybody followed this example. | It is a singular thing, but no old set
 tier seems to remember what was glv'
 en for a load of buffalo bones in those days. About the only man who seem
 ed to put a value on the skull ant
 horns at that date was Father Bliss
 an ancient character who lived in {
 queer little house which stood on tht
 corner of First and Main streets.
 peculiarity of the house was that i had a curved roof like houseboat
 Father Bliss had 8 weakness for col lecting the larger buffalo heads and pill 1 ing them on his rofo, much to th'
 amusement of the citizens,
 The buffalo bones were collected her,
 by the ton and shipped to New England
 and made into buttons and like arti
 cles. This trade followed the heavy
 transactions in hides and robes whici
 wiped out the American bison. I
 was a conlmercialism which took ev'
 erything, even his bones for profit, bu
 threw away the heads, which are nov
 the most valuable.-Nichita core

RICH MEN OWN VILLAGES.
Completeness of American Country Es
 tntes Involve Many Details.

In buying land for city house the millionaire deals with square feet but for a country mansion he purchases q tract of so many square miles. This extensive scale is carried through in all the arrangements. When the es- tate is ready for occupancy the owner finds himself lord of beautiful acre. age, contributing to his ever luxurious want-aE from it's cwn resources. To plan country house Is almost like planning to build a village. The large estate Is very complete affair, in deed. It's center Is the house, which must be large enousgh to not only prop- erly accommodate the owner and his family, but It must contain suites of rooms for the numerous guests with which 1t will be filled for the week ends and for longer periods. The sta- ble and the carriage-house are, In their way, quite as necessary as the dwell- ing.
 Many a great stable vies with the residence in size and elegance of equip- ment. If the estate is a large one, covering many acres, there is a farm house for the farmer, a farm barn and
 outbuildlngs in which each particular industry of the farm will have its own headquarters. If the owner Is addict ed to polo, there is a third and com plete stable for the ponies, There Is a chlcken-house for the chickens and other fowls, and, if this feature Is suf- flciently developed, special residence for the person having this matter in charge. Dogs, if kept in ample variety will have we'll appointed kennels, and a cartaker's house in close proximity. There Is a dairy. with perhaps a spring -house and cooling-room for the
 milk, and tile-lined rooms in which l the butter will be made.
 The market garden has it's array of hot-beds, and the conservatories In which rare plants are raised for the decoration of the house are as exten- sive as those in which plants are pro- lpagated for the outdoor gardens. Nor should the automobile house be over booked, since this popular, vehicle com petes with the horse in meeting the needs of the house transportation; and as likely as not, repair shop forms necessary adjunct to it. Buildings that minister to the physical neces- sites Of the estate are also numerous

 all country estates are sequestered
