painted In variety of cOlors, had dis

light bow and arrows, others with their

horses and walked most OF the time,
but with such speed that it kept every
one "hopping" to go the pace. This
lick kept up until the herd was In

a storm of horsemen as. with impet
uosity, these nomads dashed on their
prey. With the roar of Niagara, the
speed Of cyclone. the swiftness of
an avalanche, these strange figures
threw themselves in II mad, wild rush
on their fleeing victims, and soon in
the midst Of the dust cloud one could
only see an indescribable miXup of
flying arrows, accompanied with rifle
shots, galloping horses, falling buffa-
loes and fleet riding Indians on their
wild ponies. 1t was confusion In one
sense and regulated action in another,
forming almost delirium Of delight
to the huntsmen. Some went flying
from one end of the prairie to the
other after stragglers, while the main
guard formed in such a manner as to
make the buffaloes circle. The signal TO
halt was given, and as the dust cloud
rose little by little like curtain in the
theater the horses were seen at
standstill, and the prairie was strewn
with the bulfaloes that fell. Calm and
practical fellows were these Indians.
Even the horses began quietly pastur-
ing on the grasses, while the hunters
proceeded to pull off the hides and cut
out the tongues and favorite pieces of
their native cattle and preparing the
meat in strips for preservation.
During the progress of the hunt the
grand duke expressed desire to have
a test made as to the use of the bow
and arrow Of the Indians. 1.-Two
Lance, with reputation as buffalo
hunting chief, was selected for the
purpose. While riding at full speed he
shot an arrow from his bow which
pierced a buffalo clean through from
side to side The grand duke con-
sidered the feat so remarkable that he
took the arrow home with him as
memento Of the occasion.
The commissary wagons assisted in
bringing fresh meat to camp, and
great festivities marked the closing
of this grand hunt Guests and hosts
had tasted Of one of the most glorious
feasts that ever true Nimrods attended.
Sheridan was delighted. everybody
was congratulated, and the picture still

Letter Registry Will Be
10 Gents, Says Hitchcock

Washington. Aug. 3l.-An increase
of cents is to be made in the near flu
ture. in the fee for the registration of
letters and mail packages.
Announcement of the proposed
change was made today by Postmaster
General Hitchcock. The decision to
increase the registry fee followed an
extended inquiry into the registry sys-
tenn by a special committee appointed
by the IAstmaster general.
Mr. Hitchcock and the members of
the committee had a long conference
TO-DAY. 1t was decided to call in a
score of registry officials of ripe expe-
rience and ability from various parts
of the country for a more general
meeting next Monday.
1t is understood to be Mr.. Hitch
cocks purpose to take up the registry
system first in considering all branches
of the postal service for reorganiza-
ton wherever greater efficiency and
less expenditure maye be effected.
In his talk with a number of the del
egates who attended the recent annual
convention of the National Associa-
ton of First-Class Postmasters a,
Toledo, Mr. Hitchcock learned they
were almost unanimously Of the Opin-
ion that an increase in the registry
