sBUFFALO JONES ON WOMEN
NATURE FAkERs.
.There arA women nature takers as
we'll as mem This comes from no
less an authAtity than Colonel (Buf-
fa1o) Jones. who has roped more wild
I animals than any man in the country.
Colonel Jones. who captures wild AMI
mails as easily as cats catch mice, put
himself on record the other day as be-
ing unutterably opposed to women
huntsmen. Incidentally, the Colonel,
who as game warden of yellowstone
Park when ex-President Roosevelt
visited there few years ago. put IN
the Ananias class fair members OF
European nobility who have been ex-
plotted from time to time as brave
nimrods OF the African Jungle.
II don't believe all these stories ]
hear about women killing big game
In Africa" said he. Sat best, most Of
those stories are greatly exaggerated.
] think. A woman may be good
shot--I have known many who were
but she has neither the strength re.
quired nor the courage TO bring down
big game. have no especial object
Ion to women hunting. but don't like
to see IL. think there Is something
wrong with a woman who likes to kill
just for the sake of having killed
something. I cannot conceive of a
swomanly woman with a refined sense
of feeling. real human person who
would be anxious to go into the Jungle
for the sake of wanting to kill lions
and tigers. 1t makes me shudder to
think OF 1t. The right kind of wo-
man would not want to take even a
birds life.
"If women would stop to think Of
the little lives sacrificed to decorate
\ their hats they would never wear q
Neather. But most women. guess. are
Just merely thoughtless about this
When woman buys a hat with feathi
ers on 1t she merely considers whether
1t Is becoming to her. 1t does not oc-
cur to her that the bird on that hat
represented life as precious to II
as her life is to her, Women are By
nature fine. and when they resort to
taking life I do not regard them as
normal women"
When Colonel Jones was reminded
that English women have the reputa-
ton as good sportsmen, he brought
his jaws so sharply together his teeth
fairly clicked: ewell. I know lots OF
hice English women" said he, .and
none of them ever shouldered a guh or
killed living thing. There is LOT
Of talk about women being experts at
hunting big game. Women are too
timid by nature. They shrink from
such things naturally. Some OF the
society women of whom II is said they
like to hunt, believe. would faint ~
asked to kill and prepare chicken
for dinner"
