Cats and Ships.

The connection between cats and
ships. consecrated in the Whiting
ton les end, may quite well have orig
mated N commercial enterprise. Aca-
demic explanations of what has since
become famous pantomime hero are
not nSlrly so plausible, really, as the
more tbvious one. Why suggest learn.
edly t5at cat meant collier ship, that
1t was intended as a symbol, and so
on? It is far more likely that Whit
tingtoh made his first successful deal
with cat; since We know that a
shipwr5cked Portuguese sailor, when
washot ashore with the ship cat. sold
it for It's weight in gold to the king
of CT inca; that a companion of Pi-
zarro laid large sums for the first cat
taken to South America. Stories of
this ind, repeated constantly in the
fo'csle, no doubt. led ambitious sea-
men never to sail without a cat on
board Certainly. the children would
not exchange their pantomime cat for
any symbol; they will have nothing

Home Industry In Colorado.

This state is gradually coming to
the front as a manufacturing center.
Raw materials are much cheaper and
easier to obtain here than in the
extreme eastern states. The home
market for machinery and articles Of
all kinds is good, partly due to the
patriotic spirit of the citizens to help
home industry by their patronage.
1t is rather hard now for some OF
the factories to obtain skilled labor at
this time, but with our boys and girls
growing up and learning the different
trades this difficulty will be overcome.
People can live much cheaper and bet
ter in this state than they can in the
eastern states on account of the lower
prices of farm and garden products.
By the increased home demand for
these products prices will Of course
become higher. This is where the
farmer gets his pay for patronizing
home industries.

the wild African buffalo that we
wanted, thought of the pictures l had
seen of the killing Of buffalos in Amer.

to do was to ride horse after 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 II he had cart
ridges enough, and never be in any
more danger than a farmer milking a

He Wouldn't Sell.

The owner of small country es-
tate decided to sell his property, and
consulted an estate agent in the near
est town about the matter. After visit
ing the place the agent wrote a de-
scription of it, and submitted 1t to his
client for approval.
Read that again." said the owner,
closing his eyes and leaning back in
his chair contentedly.
After the second reading he was
silent a few moments, and then said,
thoughtfully: Il don't think I'll sell.

place all my life, but until you read

snIne kind of experience with African
buIalo, only we intended to lasso
thsm, and bring them to camp alive
fer the show business, but instead of
the African buffalo running away from
you, he runs at you on sight, and tries
to Souge out your inside works with
his horns, and paws you with his
hoo:s, and when he gets you down
he fneels down on you, and runs horns
all through your system, and rolls over
on your body like setter dog rolling
on I'm old dead fish.
The African buffalo has a crouch,
as though he had Indigestion, from eat
ing cactus thorns, and when he sees
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
mar-eating shark and the Texas rat
tle.slake.
l wouldn't want such an animal for
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 s marsh,
where tie grass and cane grow high
above them, and the only way you
can tell where they are is to watch the
birds Gy;ng around and alighting on
the backs of the animals to oEt wood
ticks and gnats. The marsh is so
thick with weeds that a man cannot
go into 1t, 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 honl-honk horns they have on
autors obiles, and these megaphones
that are used at football games, and
Pa had a 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.. Hageubach sent up rocket to
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, mile
across the marsh, tied to tree with
a slip noose so when we all got set
he could pull string and unite the
slip moose.
Well, everything worked bully, and
when Pa tied her loose we went up
into the air about 80 feet, and Pa
steered the thing up and down the
marsh like pointer dog ranging a
field for chickens.
1t was the greatest sight l ever
witnessed, seeing more than 200 buff
fab 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
Ihen we yelled through the mega
phones to get out of there, you sawed
off short horns" and then they began

when we got the cages full Of bulls
and started to haul the cages to camp
by the aid of some of the negroes who
had returned alive. by lingo, the cows
followed the cages with the bulls In,
and you couldn't drive them away.
We loaded the gas bag on to a sort
of stone boat, and Pa rugged up a
couple of OK yokes and in some way
hypnotized few COW buffalos, SO he
could drive them, and they hauled the
stone boat with the airship to camp
and We got there almost as soon as the
cages did, and Pa was smoking as
contented as though he was walking on
Broadway, and with an OK gad he
would larrup the oxen and say: "Haw.
Buck" like a farmer driving oxen to
plow a field.
Pa got his wild oxen so tame be-
fore we got to camp that they would
eat hay out of his hand, and when
and looked over our stock, and killed
some of the bufralos that had followed
the cages, for meat for the negroes,
and lit some sky rockets and fired
them at the balance Of the herd to
drive them away from camp, the ne.
groes, who had always had horror
of meeting wild buffalos, thought Pa
was superior being, to be able to
tame whole herd of the most savage
animals, and they got down on their
knees and placed their faces in the
dust in front of Pa and worshiped him,
and they wouldn't get up OFF the
ground until Pa had gone around and
put his feet on the necks of all the
negroes in token that he acknowl-
edged himself to be their king and pro-
tector, and the wives of the negroes
all threw their arms around Pa and
hugged him until he got tired, and he
said he had rather fight buffalos than
be hugged by half-naked negro wom
en- that hadn't had bath since Stan
ley discovered them, but Pa appre
ciated the honor, and Mr.. Hagenbach
said Pa was the greatest man in the
world.
The next day we shipped the buffa
los to the coast, and had them sent
to Berlin. and when we got the mai.
from headquarters there was an order

The idea is that we must get all

rumored that Roosevelt is coming tc

and all of us feel that wild animals
will be scarce after he has devastated
Africa.

of the buffalos, and we let the gas out

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

ASSISTS AT A BUFFALO HUNT

marsh Pa said now was the time to
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 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 AZ
rican buffalo was afraid Of anything
on earth.
We followed them until they got to

In the United States is the state
ment made recently by Hon. w. j..
McGee, member of the executive
committee and of the committees
on waters of the National Conserva-
ton Commission.
DR.. McGee painted a glowing
picture of the future of Arizona,
He stated that this Territory or

will serve as the model agricultural
commonwealth. He states that the
laws of conservation of resources as

will serve as examples for other
communities,
Arizona will lead even California,
