among them, giving all his energy to the
greater civilization and progress of his country.
In 1909 there was formed in Valladolid a
conspiracy which had for its object the assem-
bling in Mexico City of a congress to govern
New Spain In the name of Fernando VII. in
the event that the mother country should fall
to the arms of the French, which without
serious Intention might probably lead to the
independence of the country. The uprising
was planned to take place on December 81,
but being discovered, all the conspirators were
imprisoned. However, there being but little
evidence against them, they were soon given
their liberty.
The conspiracy being suppressed in Valla-
dolid, sprang up in Queretaro with renewed
strength. Here it received protection from the
corregidor, or mayor. OF that city, who fur
nished many recruits, pending the time when
secret action would be no longer necessary.
At this time Hidalgo became enlisted in the
cause Of the conspiracy; but it is not known
by what motives he was influenced. He had
had numerous discussions with his friend, Ig-
nacio Allende, regarding independence, but
with no more serious object on his part than
pure argument and without thought Of TAX
ing any active part in the movement. Allende,
however, was quick to interest himself in the
cause, although warned by Hldal8O L1at the
originators of such enterprises seldom enjoyed
the fruits of them. But in the month of Sep
TENDER, 1910, Hidalgo received a letter from
Allende at Queretaro asking him to come to
that city on a matter Of much Importance. He
went, but was little impressed by the people
he met, as they were without resources and
of small Importance, and he returned to his
home somewhat Disguised with his visit. How
ever, another letter from Allende pictured the
state of affairs in such encouraging words that
he decided to give his time and energy to the
cause. He had made in the town rs lances
and placed himself in communication with the
drum major and two sergeants of the battalion
of Guanaiuato in order that they might secure
some troop for the revolution. His efforts,
considering the short time which he had, were
most successful; but, unfortunately, the con-
spiracy reached the ears of the authorities and
many were imprisoned. Hidalgo sent immedi-
ately for Allende, who arrived In Dolores on
the night Of September IA, and the whole of
the next day was spent in conferences without
any decision being reached as to the best
course to pursue.
Meanwhile josef Ortiz, the wife Of the cor
regidor Of Queretaro. being an ardent believer
in the revolutionary movement, sent a messen-
ger to the town Of San Miguel ell Grande, SO
that Allende should be informed Of the news.
Not finding Allende, who had been
by Hidalgo, the message was delivered to an
other conspirator by the name of ALBANIA, who
left Immediately for Dolores, arriving there
at two o'clock in the morning of the sixteenth.
He found everybody asleep in the house of the

AFTER GIRAFFE WITH A LAsso

A high-pitched yell from the colonel
sent the giraffe away across the open
with that clumsy-looking, powerful gal
lop that is all his own, and with his
long neck plunging slowly back and
forth.
LoveIess black, one of the fastest
horses in the string, had hard work to
gain on the giraffe, especially as the
animal swerved quickly at the last mo-
ment and fled down the eastern slope
Of the hill through the scrub where the
going was none too good.
1t was a difficult throw-and new
one for a western cowboy-to send the
moose so far up into the air over the
head perched high on the long, sway
ing neck.
But at the first attempt Loveless sue
ceeded, and then refined in gently so
as not to throw the beast, because a
giraffe would fall heavily, and would
very likely break his neck or a leg II
tumbled over.
Finally he was brought to a stand
still, his feet spread apart as before,
and for while the two stood facing
each other--the cowboy and the tower
ing giraffe, with the rope from the sad
die horn leading up at considerable
angle to the shoulders of the prize.
The rest of the hunt soon gathered
about them. Although the light was

of the camera ended with peculiar
flapping sound.
"Thats ALL" said Kearton, and sank
down on a nearby stone.
But Loveless and the giraffe con-
tinued to face each other undisturbed.
"well?" said Loveless, presently.
"Well?" echoed the colonel.
"Well how are we going to take this
rope off him? We've got none to
spare, you know"
"Get a ladder" suggested Means.
mo. we won't need a ladder" said
the colonel, seriously; "but we'll have
to throw him, after all. We can do 1t
gently, I guess, without hurting him"
Accordingly, Means roped the giraffe
by one hind leg and pulled it out from
under him, so that he sank easily to
the ground, and both the ropes were
loosened and freed.
The sun had set and the short twi-
light was rapidly deepening. The OK
wagons and porters were several miles
ahead. So we packed up the camera,
coiled up the ropes, mounted and rode
away, and the giraffe raised himself
on his launches among the bushes and
watched us go.-Guy II. Scull IN

NO ELK IN ARIZONA

Dillon Wallace, who is making
horseback trip through the Rockies for
the Outing Magazine, is keeping
weather eye on the extent and cause
of the disappearance of our big game.
In the November Outing he says:
"As a result of my observations and
inquiries I am satisfied, however, that
not one elk remains in the region. l
believe the last elk was killed some
four or five years ago, and therefore
it is safe to say that Arizona does no
possess today a single one of these
noble animals. This is particularly
deplorable because here lie vast ranges,
worthless save to support wild game,
a natural cover for elk which once
roamed the region in great herds. The
white hunter and the Indian armed
with repeating rifles and too long un-
restrained by game laws have COM
pleted the destruction.
'It was particularly gratifying, how
ever, to discover that small band of
mountain sheep-probably not over ten
or fifteen in number-stili inhabits Old
Baldy. The law strictly prohibits the
killing of sheep, and 1t is to be hoped
that poachers will permit them to in
crease. In passing may say that
small number of mountain sheep also
survive in the Four Peaks to the SOUTH
west of Baldy, on the New Mexico
line"

THE eILA MONSTER

Dissension and discussion have ragged
for years about the hideous head of
the Gila monster. This great lizard
of the southwest has been pronounced
absolutely deadly by one set of parti-
sans, and absolutely harmless by an
other. Somewhere between lies the
truth. If any human being has ac-
tually been bitten by a heloderma,
the event has either escaped notice or
has been so hedged about with OBJ
structive legend as to have forfeited
scientific credence. But the saurian
itself has been studied and dissect ID,
and its venom has been analyzed. The
venom is related to snake poison, but is
neither crotaline nor elapine. From
animal experiments it is thought that
1t might be fatal to man under fa-
vorable conditions. There are no fangs

Spraying Of Dandelions.
For the past two years iron sulphate
has been used at the Minnesota Agri-
cultural Experiment Station for the
eradication of dandelions in lawns.
Fairly good success has resulted from
these experiments. Although spraying
the dandelions does not by any means
mean absolute destruction of this pest,
it at least kills many of the Towering
stalks and keeps hundreds of dande.
lions from coming to seed. It also
kills many of the younger plants. Il
one were to spray lawn carefully for
an entire season the result would pos
sibly warrant the time and expense
connected with the spraying. Iron
sulphate at the rate of III pounds to
1 gallon Of water is the proper pro-
portion to use on the lawns. The
spray should be applied with a spray
er which gives very fine, mist-like
spray. Apply the solution about three
days after the lawn is cut, on day
that is bright and warm. The grass
will be somewhat blackened but little
damage results. Some of the white
clover, owing to its broad leaf is some
what injured. The lawn should be
sprayed about once a month. Care
should be taken when spraying to
keep the solution off Of the cement
walks as it discolors them.
