Tho Old Buffalo DAYS.

There is on record at the war de-
partment, Washington, document
bearing witness to how plentiful buff
faloes were within the memory Of
many men now living. 1t is the "re-
turn" for several rounds of cannon
ammunition expended in Kansas in
1867 to divert the course of great
herd Of buffalo that was bearing down
toward a camp Of soldiers with a
force that threatened to overwhelm it.
At least one officer is alive who saw
these shots fired, and he describes the
herd as literally reaching as far as the
eye could see. 1t was a long time In
passing the camp, whose occupants
watched it in silence, awed by the
spectacle. General Philip st. George
Cooke at once halted a regiment Of
cavalry on the plains to permit great
herd of antelope to pass, and he was
not man easily halted when on duty.
His humanity impelled him to with
hold the regiment from mangling and
manning the antelope, which were al
lowed the right Of way.-Boston Tran

Who Could Pass?

To test the spelling capabilities Of
fifty applicants for Junior clerkships
in the offices Of the Sydney water and
sewerage board they were called upon
to write from dictation this paragraph:
"This celibate was licentiate in medi-
cine and held other scholastic diplo-
mas His characteristics were idiosyn-
crasies personified-one day taciturn,
the next garrulous. Today his facile
pen evolves a sapient distich in piquant
satire of some literary genius; tomor-
row an encomiastic effusion on an H.
literate voluptuary. His studies on
concrete science were exotic; his re-
searches in natural philosophy esoteric
If not chimerical." No less than forty
three out Of the fifty candidates came
to grief in this artfully designed SPELL
ing obstacle race. At the next meet
ing Of the board a member doubted
whether ten out of fifty Oxford NJ. As,

the same passage, would succeed in ne

work the girl fired two more shots,
one taking effect In the neck and the
other entering the brain.
Standing over the victim she then
shot herself through the heart The
