HUNTED BY A BUFFALO.

The time has gone by for hunting
buffalo on the plains While 1t lasted,
the sport was followed too closely for
continuance. The pursuit Of the game
was exciting, but when the buffalo
turned hunter, and the object Of his
search was the sportsman, the interest
in the outcome of the chase was greatly
heightened. The author of 1.-THE Faith
er of st Kilda," r. Campbell, tells in
the pages of his book how he engaged
in one of these double-headed encoun-
tiers in the country of the Saskatche-
wan River
The sight of the huge monsters ca
reening madly along with fiery eyes
and tossing names, followed sometimes
by an eagle-feathered savage, mounted
on a strangely decked-out pony, with
the scalp of his latest enemy flying be-
hind him, utterly demoralized my
steady-going, faithful nag, and he ran
away with me down a steep bank, in
spite of all my efforts, pitched me
headlong against great granite block,
and himself fed madly over the prai-
RE.
Beneath the shadow of this boulder
lay in half-conscious state l know
not how long, but was reused at last
by the sight of large herd Of buffalo
coming full gallop over the crest OF
the hill above me and making straight
in my direction, followed by feathered
Indians and hatless halfbreeds, firing
wildly from all directions, and sending
bullets whistling about my ears till
was deafened by the sharp sound. l
got hold of my rife and planted bull
let in an immense bull, but alas! not SC
as to kill him.
AS the buffalo turned upon me rose
and ran around the boulder, he aftel
me, and so we chased each other for life
and death. A bullet from the fiint-lock
gun of one of the savages hit the boul
der and sent splinter Of it into my
hand, leaving me wound of which
still carry the trace.
Scarcely knowing was hit, rar
on until my breath was almost gone
and 1 felt that in a few moments
should drop and be tossed and tram
pied by my Infatuated foe.
By this time was chasing him, rath
er than he me; in fact, was close be
hind him. l raised my rife as h'
swished his tail round, and drew thu
trigger with my last ounce Of strength
had won, and my already wounded
enemy dropped dead.
At least it had not ended as man!
such encounters have. when in a las
paroxysm the wounded monster turn
and losses horse and rider into the al
like dry chips, tearing them with hi
horns, stamping them to death with I
dying effort, and then falling dead upol
his victims.

lowing passage from the Annual Regis
ter for 1915:
A new coach was started in the
spring to run to Brighton, a distance
Of fifty-two miles, in six hours.
This, however, became alarming, par
ticularly in the populous neighborhood
Of Newington, through which 1t passed,
and the parish officers there caused I'm
formation to be laid against the driv-
ers for driving furiously on the pubic
road so as to endanger the lives Of his
maJesty's subjects.
The result Of this is to be read In
Mansards Parliamentary Reports"
June 10, 1916.
The Attorney General moved for
leave to bring In a bill the object of
which was the protection of the lives
and limbs of his ma1esty's subjects by
correcting the enormous abuses of
stage coach drivers. Within these few
days it would be hardly credible what
number Of applications he had re-
ceived on this subject.
Some accounts were enough to freeze
one with horror. A gentleman of We
racity had informed him that on Tues
day, May q, at $780, the Trafalgar
and Regulator coaches set off from
Manchester and got to Liverpool al
8 20, doing this journey in two hours
and fifty minutes, at the rate Of twelve
miles an hour.-New York Sun.

MENE11K II. AND Els PEOPLE.

Mighty Monarch of Abysutnia who
Welcomes Civilization.
Few mightier monarchs than Menelik
II. Of Abyssinia ever swayed the destI-
MES Of people. Throughout the vast
territory Of the Abyssinian highlands
his individual will is law to some mill
lions of subjects, laws also to hor6es
of savage Mohammedan and pagan
tribesmen without the confines of his
kingdom. His court includes no coun-
cilors. Alone throughout the long years
of his reign Menelik has dealt with all
domestic and foreign affairs of State
But now this last splendid survival
of the feudal absolutism exercised and
enjoyed by medieval rulers is about to
disappear beneath encroaching waves
of civilization, which long spare moth
ing picturesque. Gables from far-oR
Adds Abeda, Menelik's capital bring
news that he has formed a cabinet and
published the appointment of ministers
of war, finance, justice, foreign affairs
and commerce.
And this change has come not from
the pressure of any party or faction
within his kingdom, for such do not
exist but out of the fount of his own
wisdom-a wisdom SO sound as to
prove him a most worthy descendant Of
the sage Hebrew King Menelik claims
as ancestor-if indeed more proofs
/ were necessary than the statesmanIika
way in which he has dealt with Jealous
diplomats, and the martial skill with
which, at Adua in 90, he defeated the
flower of the Italian army and won
| from Italy an honorable truce.
Whether or not the claim Of Menelik
that he is lineally descended from q
son supposed to have been born to the
Queen Of Sheba and King Solomon Of
old is true, and there is no real reason
to doubt it, 1t Is certain that In race
type Abyssinians plainly resemble the
sons of Israel, crossed and modified
with Coptic, Hamite and Ethiopian
blood, and to this day cling closely as
the most orthodox Hebrew to some of
the dearest Israelitish tenets, notably
in their antipathy to pork and to other
meat not bled before dead, to observ-
ance of the Sabbath and the rite of
circumcision. And this notwithstand-
ing that the Abyssinians have been
Christians since the fourth century Of
this era, when, only eight years after
the great Constantine decreed the rec
ognition of Christianity by the State,
a PROSECUTING monk came among theys
with faith so strong, heart so pure and
eloquence so irresistible that single
handed he accomplished the conversion
Of the Abyssinian race.

Beno solomo. Prospector and Trapper of
Idaho.


Idaho.
Beno Solomo, prospector and trapper,
believed to have been the first white
nan to explore the territory now en-
braced by the boundaries Of the state
of Idaho, is dead at the age of SC
years. He died alone in his cabin near
Placerville, Idaho, a ball from a rife
ne had carried for years ending his
eventful career. That was the verdict
of the corqnor's jury of miners when
The body was found, several days ago.
Fhe wall calendar, with the dates cross
marked to January 9, indicates that was
the day he passed away. The suicide
theory is confirmed by two entries. One
reads, every sick"; the other
[" Crazy"
Thus one of the heroes of the gulch
and yeoman of the mountain slopes
crossed the Great Divide, leaving his
poke of gold dust and other belongings
TO be distributed among his friends in
the hills. These men will make efforts
to locate Solomo's sister and brother,
who are believed to be in California,
where the veteran prospected in the
days of the Argonauts.
Solomo was native of New England,
born near Boston in 1923. When 18
years of age he started for the wilds
Of the northwest and landed in what is
now central Idaho. He arrived there
| shortly before the advent of the Jesuit
| missionaries in the st. Joe river country
in 1912. Afterward he joined the
hegira to the western coast, where he
