HOW the Herd Mas STONED.

Apropos the recent purchase by the
Canadian government of one of the
few surviving herds of buffalo in the
United States. there is on record at
the war department, Washington, a
document bearing witness to how
plentiful these animals were within
the memory of many men now living.
1t is the return of several rounds
of cannon ammunition expended in
Kansas in 1867 to divert the course
of a great herd of buffalo that was
bearing down toward a camp of sol
diers 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 long time in
passing the camp, whose occupants
watched it in silence, awed by the
spectacle Gen. Philip ST. George
Cooke, who died but a few years ago
at a very advanced age. once halted
regiment of cavalry on the plains
to permit a great herd of antelope to
pass, and he was not a man easily
halted when on duty. His humanity
impelled him to withhold the regiment
from mangling and manning the ante
lope, which were allowed the right OF
way.

right, but you might leave the napk'D
behind" He left the restaurant woG-
dering what could have become of his
money, as he was certain that he had
some change in his clothes when he
left the Office. Mentally he went back
over his course and remembered that
he had stopped at stationery store to
buy some stamps. He sought out the
place and asked the clerk if he had
left and change behind when he had
purchased the stamps. Yes said the
clerk, you left whole bunch of it
here. We tried to call you back, but
you rushed out before we could reach
you" He handed over the change to
the broker, who thanked him and
started out. Don't you want to take
the stamps?" called the clerk. 1t
therefore developed that not only had
he gone out without his change but
without the stamps he had paid for.

No one is in better position to know

MENTAL STRAIN CAUSE OF
SOME ECCENTRIC DOINGS

D ROCKERS and bankers of Wall
II street do some eccentric things
sometimes when laboring under a men
tai strain as the result of the market.
Several bankers and brokers were
swapping change at a prominent ho-
tel the ether night. and story was
told of wealthy speculator of Wall
street who is VIGOROUSLY stingy. When
he smokes. which is seldom, he re-
stricts himself to black five-cent CT
gar. During recent slump in the
market this financier walked into the
Astor house cigar store, pulled a hand
full of 50-cent cigars from a box lying
on the counter, twisted them into
pieces and threw them on the floor.
When the cigar dealer stated that the
charge would be $3.50 he stood aghast
with horror and denied all knowledge
of the affair. 1t was with difficulty
that he was convinced he had crushed
five high-priced Havanas for his lapse
into absent mindedness.
A New York broker in the party re-
lated how he was sitting in his office

seized with the desire to get out on
the street and as far away from it as
possible. Without his coat or hat he
rushed from the building with his
waistcoat unbuttoned, leaped into an
! electric cab and shouted to the chauf-
feur to move on. 1t was not until he
became conscious of the curious stares
of passersby in the roadway that he
realized the attire in which he was

Then it was told of a Wall street
broker who went into restaurant, ate

cashiers counter to pay his check. He
went through his pockets one by one,
but to his establishment failed to find
any money. He was forced to tell the

MORE MONEY NEEDED TO
FINISH BRANCH LIBRARIES

nj EW YORK.-New York finds the
~ magnificent gift of $5.200.0O0 made
by Andrew Carnegie to build 7s branch
libraries in this city is far from being
enough. At the time the gift was made
In 1901, 1t was supposed that number
OF branches would be ample to pro-
vide the reading public for many
years. Only thirty-nine Of these
branches have been completed and the
commission in charge of the work is
already considering the advisability
of a proposal for the erection Of TWEEN
ty-two more, making the total number
of branches 100 instead of 7S.
The figures give some idea of the
growth of the great metropolis in the
past six years. BY the end of next
year SO of the new Carnegie branch
buildings will be ready for use. About
the same time the funds provided by
Mr. Carnegie will be nearing exhaus-
ton. The sum of $500 900 was given
by Mr.. Carnegie after the library trus-
tees had figured what would be need
ed to equip every section of New York
with branch library. But the ad-
vance in building materials has put
| the figures of the estimate completely
| to the bad. Certain it Is that the sum
will come far short of finishing the
7S buildings first proposed and accord
ing to the revised estimates twenty
! two more will be needed.
Where the money is to come from
has not yet been determined, but New
York feels certain Mr.. Carnegie will
not allow the work to lag for want of
funds. The additional twenty-five
buildings proposed will not be needed

time the completion of the first rs
will be pushed forward and those re-
naming to be located and erected will
be placed where they will accommodate
the largest percentage of the popula
ton. A year from now the building
commission expects to be able to
furnish Mr. Carnegie with complete
report, showing just what has been
done and what is to be done. The
great philanthropist is expected to
take the hint and the commission feels
little doubt that a few more millions

The libraries of New York this yeal
will cost the municipality over $500,

the IS branches originally proposed
are completed the annual appropria
ton is expected to run at least $500,

the prospect. There can be no better
investment, the Gothamites think The
city has already spent about $4,000, OOC

branches and every citizen of New
York is satisfied. The expense to the
city for the remaining sites and fur
