AFR|CA's GREAT CAME


of some of the wild beasts that re-
main to be hunted by the sportsman
in Africa a writer says: 'FThe quagga,
most graceful of all the horse tribe,
has disappeared entirely. The mil
lions which once inhabited the high
plateau of South Africa were killed off
in sheer wantonness, and today not a
single specimen survives unless it be
between the Crocodile and Sabi rivers,
where, according to native reports,
small herd was running six years ago.
AS with the quagga, so with the swart
wildebeeste, the white-tailed gnu of the
naturalsts. Once the most common of
high veldt buck, as well as the most
grotesque and harmless, it is now rep
resented by few depressed looking
specimens in various geological gardens.
1t was very easy to hunt, and, as
of its long tail, which made a splendid
fly whisk. Incidentally, of course, a
valuable source of food supply was de-
stroyed, no small matter in country
which today depends entirely on
timed and frozen meat.
"'The cape buffalo are now confined
entirely to the low-lying jungle on
the east coast, yet half a century ago
they ranked among the most plentiful
of the great game. Hunters who knew
them in earlier days speak of them with
scant respect, but it seems as if, as
they have retreatei before the advance
of civilization, they have grown more
sullen and vindictive, until today they
certainly take first rank among the
dangerous game of Africa. That stink
ing pest, the lion, is low coward by
comparison with the buffalo, the de
structive nuisance, whose sole title to
respect is that when he can escape no
longer, he turns on his foe, a charac-
feristic which he shares with practical
ly every animal, even down to the rat

when attacked he becomes the very in
carnation of revenge. Moreover, in ad-
dition to his strength and ferocity, he
has a cunning which the lion does not
possess. He may be grazed with a
bullet at sunrise, and it may be even,
ing when he charges his assailant from
behind some clump of bush. A lion may
be shot from the safety of a tree, to
the foot of which he has been 1ured
by means of goat or calf; but to
kill the buffalo it is necessary to fol-
low him down to the fever haunted
jungfes, and tackle him fairly and
squarely, at the risk of ones life; con-
sequently, the mere fact of man s
having made the attempt is far surer
proof of his courage than the actual

In China theater plays are divided
into two great classes. The first deals
entirely with historical subjects, the
other has to do with comedies and
tragedies of every day life. In the
history Of the present Chinese drama

ion that the puppet shows, which are

pire, were the original from which il

CONFIDENCE

"But as for being a candidate,

course, chiefly among which is
that Of my professional busi.

Judge McCaleb referred to the
recent reference to Hon. G. G.
Reid Of Morrilton, congressman
from the Fifth district, as a can
date for governor, and expressed
himself very favorably toward
the Morrllton man. "I don't
