ASSISTS AT A BUFFALO HUNT

notify Pa that he was ready to have
him scare the buffalos out of the
marsh and down the fence into the
corral.
Pa had the gas bag all full, a mile
across the marsh, tied to tree with
a slip moose, so when we all got set
he could pull a string and unite the
slip moose.
Well, everything worked bully, and
when Pa tied her loose we went up
into the air about 50 feet, and Pa
steered the thing up and down the
marsh like a pointer dog ranging a
field for chickens.
It was the greatest sight ever
witnessed, seeing more than 200 buf-
falo heads raise up out of the tall
grass and watch the airship, looking
as savage as lions eating raw meat.
First they never moved at all, but
we began to blow the honk horns, and
then we yelled through the mega
phones to get out of there, you sawed
off short horns" and then they began
to move away from the airship across
the marsh, and we followed until they
began to get into herd, nearly on
the other side of the marsh, but they
only walked fast, splashing through
the mud.
When we got almost across the
marsh Pa said now was the time tC
fire the Roman candles, SO we each
lit our candle, and the fire and smoke
and the fire balls fairly scorched the
hair of the buffalos in the rear of the
herd, and in a jiffy the whole herd
stampeded out of the marsh right to-
ward the fence, believing in African
language, scared half to death, the
first instance on record that an AT
rican buffalo was afraid of anything
ON earth.
We followed them until they got te

the fence, but only about 100 got into
the corral, the others going around
the fence and chasing the keepers into
the jungle and hooking the negroes in
the pants, and some of the negroes are
running yet, and will no doubt come
out at Cairo, Egypt.
Mr.. Hagenbach and the white men
got up in trees, and watched Pa and
the airship, and when we got where
the fence narrowed up at the corral
Pa let the airship come down to the
ground, and anchored it to stump
and yelled for the boss of the expedi.
ton and the men to come down out
Of the trees and help capture some OF
the best specimens, so they came
down and tore out the wings of the
fence and placed them across so we had
the buffalos in a pen, and then Mr..
Hagenbach, who had been getting a
little jealous of Pa, came up to him
and shook his hand and told him he
was Il wonder in the capturing of wild
animals, and Pa said don't mention
it, and Pa took the makings and made
himself a cigarette and smoked up, and
Mr.. Hagenbach asked Pa how we were
going to get the buffalos out of the cor
raj, cause they were fighting each
other in the far end of the pen, and
Pa said you just wait, and he sent
for the cages, enough to hold about ten

a pet, but Pa said the way to get buff
falo was to go after them, and never
let up until you had them under your
control. So we started out under Pas
lead to capture African buffalo, and
while the returns are not all in of the
dead and wounded, we know that our
expedition is pretty near used up.
The African buffalos live In a marsh,
where the grass and cane grow high
above them, and the only way you
can tell where they are is to watch the
birds flying around and alighting on
the backs of the animals to eat wood
ticks and gnats. The marsh is so
thick with weeds that man cannot
go into it, so we planned to start the
airship on the windward side of the
marsh, after lining up the whole force
of helpers, negroes and white men,
and building corral of timber on the
lee side of the marsh. Pa and the
cowboy and went in the airship, with
these honk-honk horns they have on
automobiles, and these megaphones
that are used at football games, and
Pa had bunch of Roman candles to
scare the buffalos.
When the fence was done, which so
men had worked on for a week, it run
in the shape of triangle, or a fish
net, with big corral at the middle.
Mr.. Hagenbach sent up a rocket to

When Pa told us that he had To-
Gated a place where we could get all
the wild African buffalo that we
wanted, l thought of the pictures I had
seen of the killing of buffalos in Amer
lea, where all the buffalo hunter had
to do was to ride horse after a herd
Of the animals, that couldn't run faster
than a yoke of oxen, pick out big
bull and ride long side of him and
fire bullets into his vital parts at about
ten feet range, until his liver was
filled full of holes, and he had the
nose bleed, and when he fell down
from loss of blood, dismount and skin
him for lap robe. The American buff
falo would always run away and the
hunter could kill him If he had cart
ridges enough, and never be in any
more danger than a farmer milking q
cow.
thought we would have about the
same kind of experience with African
buffalo, only we intended to lasso
them, and bring them to camp alive
for the show business, but instead OF
the African buffalo running away from
you, he runs at you on sight, and tries
to gouge out your inside works with
his horns, and paws you with his
hoofs, and when he gets you down
he kneels down on you, and runs horns
all through your system, and rolls over
on your body like setter dog rolling
on an old dead fish.
The African buffalo has Crouch
as though he had indigestion, from eat
ing cactus thorns, and when he sees
a man his eyes blaze with fire, and he
gets as crazy as an anarchist. and
seems to combine in his makeup the
habits of the hyena, the tiger, the
man-eating shark and the Texas rat

WHY NOT own LAND?
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
MAKE MONEY IS TO INVEST
IN WESTERN CANADA.

deep down in the nature of every
properly constituted man is the desire
to own some land" A writer in the
Iowa State Register thus tersely ex-
presses a well-known truth. The Ques-
ton is where is the best land to be
had at the lowest prices. and this tho
same writer points out in the same ar
ticle. The fact is not disguised that
the writer has personal interest in
the statement Of his case, and there is
no hidden meaning when he refers to
Western Canada as presenting great
er possibilities than any other part of
the American Continent, to the man
who is inclined to till the soil for a
livelihood and possible competence.
What interests one are the arguments
advanced by this writer, and when
fairly analysed the conclusion Is
reached that no matter what personal
interest the writer may have had, his
reasons appear to have the quality Of
great soundness. The climatic cOndi-
tons of Western Canada are fully as
good as those of Minnesota, the Dako-
tas or Iowa, the productiveness Of the
soil is as great, the social conditions
are on a parity, the laws are as we'll
established and as carefully observed.
In addition to these the price of land
Is much less, easier to secure. So, with
these advantages, why shouldn't this
the offer of Western Canada-be
embraced. The hundreds of thousands
of settlers now there, whose homes
were originally in the United States,
appear to be-are satisfied. Once in
awhile complaints are heard, but the
Canadians have never spoken of the
country as an Eldorado no matter
what they may have thought. The
writer happened to have at hand a few
letters, written by former residents of
the United States, from which one or
two extracts are submitted. These 60
to prove that the writer in the Regis
ter has good basis of fact in support
of his statements regarding the excel
lency of the grain growing area of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
On the goth of April Of this year w.
R. Conley, of Lougheed, Alberta, wrote
friend in Detroit. He says: "The
weather has been just fine ever since
I came here in March, and I believe
one could find If he wanted to some
small punches of snow around the
edge of the lake. There is a frost near
ly every morning: at sunrise it begins
to fade away, then those blue flow
ers open and look as fresh as if there
had been no frost for a week.
There is no reason why this country
should not become garden Of Eden;
the wealth is in the ground and only
needs a little encouragement from tho
government to induce capital in here.
There is everything here to build
with: good clay for brick; coal under

of the buffalos, and we let the gas out
of the airship, and went into camp,
right there, and Pa bossed things for
about two days, until the buffalos got
good and hungry, and then we backed
the cages up to an opening in the
fence and put hay in the far end Of
the cages, and the herd began to take
notice.
We wanted the big bulls and some
cows, and nature helped us on the
bulls, cause they fought the weaker
ones away from the cages, and walked
right up the incline into the cages, and
Pa went in and locked the doors, and

some strange breath turned in the book
of my memory leaves that had not
been turned for many years My mind
reverted to the various little incidents
of my childhood Some sweetly sol
emn thoughts filed my mind and
prompted me to say them. The golden
light of day first came to me at the
brow of the hill resting on the bosom
of little Sequatchie valley, diversified
by beautiful mountains where lofty
peaks proudly look down on churches
in our towns but can't frown on our
creeds To my minds eye this Sequat-
chic valley of ours is an invariable
garden spot. We see the sparkling
dewdrops, the tears of night, to be
gem of the morning on the velvety
cheek of fragrant flower arrayed in
more splendor than Solomon in his
regal magnificence ever displayed,
whose fragrance may be inhaled by
vast army of people marching by but
still the atmosphere is rich with its
fragrance almost divine, and as our
eyes wander from the valley of rarest
flowers and finest fruits, we behold the
hills on the bosom of the plains like
waves on the bosom of signing surg
ing sea as they rise higher and higher
until they seem to pierce the heavens
and the stars seem to be bright sig
hal fires, blazing upon their icy brows
forever floating there,
Forever singing as they shine,
The hand that made us is divine"
The little school house, Bethany, un-
der the oaks near the old Stone cave,
will ever be green spot in my mem
ory and my first teacher, Miss Matte
Bell, who taught me to spell, shall
not expiate on the influence of hel
training on me in early years, but
suffice it to say, whether my stay or
earth be long or short, | shall always
remember with gratitude and love my
teacher and friend of those happy
years. Teachers don't, can't realize
how lasting the impressions are the,
make on the young minds in Their
charge, how. indelibly their mistake
are penned on young hearts, and il
t long, long after years their influence j
still felt for good or for bad. Will
