HERD OF OUTLAW BUFFALoEs.
Cannot Be Overtaken or Roped.
Always Escape From Corrals.

From Forest and Stream.
While the Pablo herd of buffalo in Mon
tana was last year rounded up in part
and in part delivered to its purchaser, the
Canadian government, there was still a
portion not gathered, and. as we We're
then Informed, not likely to be gathered.
II was known more than a year ago
that of the buffalo sold and intended to
be delivered there were $50 or 200 head
that were absolute outlaws without fear
or respect for horse. man. rope or fence.
II was impossible to handle these bison.
They were ready to fight any one who at
tempted TO drive them, or if they ran they
went 50 fast and SO far that they could
not be overtaken, or il overtaken and
roped they threw the horse and his rider
and went off with the rope. 1t was stated
at one time last year 1T looked as if the
buffalo could not be gathered for ship
ping. A train was expected to carry
away 201 head at time when only sixty
nine had been corralled
After this train was loaded efforts to
gather the remaining buffalo failed. The
best riders on the Flathead reservation
had so many falls and made so many
failures that they gave up the work and
refused TO ride for the buffalo. Word was
sent across the mountains to the best
riders on the Blackfeet Indian reserva-
ton and number were gathered there to
do the work.
Some weeks since ii was announced that
the roundup had begun and that soon all
The Pablo buffalo would have left the
ntted states except those that We had
arranged 10 retain-twelve head Of fulI-
blooded COWS and two full booded bulls.
Tho statement made those aware of local
conditions smile a little. and they we're
not greatly surprised to see recently an
other statement declaring that second
attempt by the Canadians 10 load the
Pablo bison for shipment 10 the Do
ninion resulted in the corraIlins of ITO
head, about half the number of bisons
purcha sed and taken away last wear
The work of rounding up is reported to
have been hard. and ii is said that the
bison repeatedly broke through the fences
and that many escaped TO the hills II
is added that the attempt to gather the
buffalo has been abandoned and that the
remainder Of the herd will be presented 10
the United States by Canada.
This statement may be received with
sliepttcism, though the Dominion govern
ment might perhaps be willing to trans
fer its contract with Pablo to the United
States government some one represent
ing It. II Is not at all likely, however.

Women's Prayers Not Wanted.

from The London Chronicle
BY way of contrast To the appearance
of a woman preacher in a church at
kentish Town, we may note that in some
parts of the world the women are not
even allowed to pray. Some Hindu con-
:regations deny their women this privi-
lege. and among the Ainu women can
pray only in very rare cases as the depu-
ties OF their husbands. The natives of
Madagascar. however. stretch a point and
permit their women TO intercede with the
powers of evil. but prayer TO their Su-
preme Being is strictly masculine pre-
rosative. And no doubt the ladies' of
tile house make the best of their oppor-
tunities.
