Big Game in Sanctuary.

At one time We passed herd of a
dozen or so of great giraffes, cows and
calves, cantering along through the
open woods a couple of hundred yards
to the right of the train. Again, still
closer, four waterbuck cows, their big
ears thrown forward, stared at us
without moving until we had passed.
Hartebeests were everywhere; one
herd was on the track, and when the
engine whistled they bucked and
sprang with ungainly agility, and gal
loped clear of the danger. A long
tailed straw-colored monkey ran from
one tree to another Huge black os-
triches appeared from time to time.
Once troop of impalia, close by
the track, took fright and as the beau
tfful creatures fed we saw one and
now another bound clear over the
high bushes. A herd of zebra clatter-
ed across a cutting of the line, not a
hundred yards ahead of the train; the
whistle hurried their progress, but
only for moment, and as we passed
they were already turning around to
gaze. The wild creatures were in
their sanctuary, and they knew it.
Defends Preservation Policy.
A large part of the country thus
traversed by Col. Roosevelt and his
party was the game preserve which
the British government has set aside
r3n the way to Nairobi, mile to the
north of the track and stretching far
to the south. OF the policy of thus
preserving the game, Col. Roosevelt
says:
Some of the settlers have at times
grumbled at this game preserve being
kept of such size, but surely it is one
of the most valuable possessions the
country could have. The lack of water
in parts, the prevalence in other parts
Of diseases harmful to both civilized
man and domestic cattle, render this
great track of country the home of all
homes for the wild creatures of the
waste.
THE protection given these wild
creatures is genuine, not nominal /;
they are preserved not for the pleas
ure of the few, but for the good of all
who choose to see this strange and at
tractive spectacle; and from this nurs-
cry and breeding ground the overflow
keeps up the stock of game in the adj
jacent land to the benefit of the set
tiers to whom the game gives fresh
meat, and to the benefit of the whole
country because of the attraction il
furnishes to all who desire to visit a
veritable happy hunting ground
Kermit Chases Wounded Bull.
One of the most interesting passages
is Col. Roosevelts account of day
after wildebeest. He tells how he shot
large bull which Kermit rode down
and dispatched after a run of or S
miles, and how he then disabled a

OAK LEAVES
MILL CAT TIE

The stcckmen grazing their cattle
on the national forests in the south
west especially in Colorado and New
Mexico. have suffered serious losses
during the present summer through
the cattle eating oak leaves.
In that section OF the country tho
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce To exc out
the scanty forage supply the cattle
have brOwscd heavily on the scrub oak
which covers large portions Of tho
range. Ordinarily the stock does not
browse much on the oak and the Ilt-
tie they do get. taken with The other
food, IS not Injurious, out when. as in
the present season, the oak browse
furnishes a large proportion of tho
daily food of the cattle, the results
are serious
The oak leaves and sprouts contain
large percentage OF tannic acid
The action of this acid on the stomach
is extremely injurious and the losses
have been unusually severe The
symptoms OF the disease are staring
eyes, feyerish and blistercd lips and
nose; the animal ceases 10 craze NJ

comes rough and the hair Is all turned
the wrong way, as i'm cases OF loco poiS-
oning. The animal does MT chew its
cud, and in comparatively short
time Il becomes too weak to remain
on its feet and death rapidly follows.
So far a. is known the only avail
able remedy for this trouble is linseed
oil given as a drench In amounts from
one TO two quarts. The oil appears
To overcome the injurious effects OF
the tannic acid and if the disease is
not advanced too far and the animal
con be furnished sufficient food so il
will not be forced TO eat the oak It
will generally recover. The best
method, of course, in handling the
trouble is, if possible. 10 get the cat

A sp.nish War Criticism.

When the Spanish war came upon
us Commodore Dewey was at Hong
kong. The navy department had sent
him no preliminary orders. He didn't
know anything about the ultimate pol
icy or what the ultimate plan of cam
paign would be- The navy department
didn't itself know. Dewey should
have moved two or three days sooner
than he did, and two or three days
sometimes are vital. But our Wash
ington officials were only aroused to
the necessity of giving Admiral Dewey
an order by cablegram from Dewey
informing them that the British gov
srnor of Hongkong insisted that our
feet must leave there. We were so
dazed by the immediate exigencies of
war that the English government had
to prod us in the ribs to wake us up.
Then our Washington authorities is
sued an order and not till then. They
told Dewey to proceed to the Philip
pine Islands and capture or destroy
the Spanish fleet In other words,
they gave him the stereotyped war or
der in the phraseology of the signal
code, which, literally translated, read:
go ahead and do the best you can.
We give it up."-Collier's.
