HILLS SAYS The
BUFFALO HAD TO
GET OUT OF WAY
.Big Bill Explains That it Was
aCase of the Buffalo or
the Farmers

..Some folks are doing a heap OF
lamenting because the American Buff
sfalo don't roam around out West any
more said big Bill" Hills last night
at the Elks club, ''but it was q case
of the buffalo or the farmers. The
greatest buffalo range in the country
was once where the State OF Nebraska
is now located. The folks comm
from the East had to have room and
the bison had to move. There are sew
eral privately owned herds Of buffalo
out through the West and it is posi-
Bile to domesticate them in small
herds What would some people say
If they saw herd of three million
buffalo passing in front of their house
in the fall and spring of the year
when the bison were either going north
or south with the season.
It have seen millions of the big
fellows myself and one of the largest
herds ever known in the West was
seen in the late seventies moving
south The herd was a mile wide
and it took it just "a hours to pass
"A given point, a great huge sea of an
irnal life and n wonderful sight.
ST reckon that whole herd would about
cover the State of Connecticut and
flow over into New York State. Buff
falo needed big territory to move

PORTUGUESE and Goldfish.

1t is an interesting fact that the fish.
ermen of northern Portugal started
and developed the fishing industry on
the banks off the northern coast of
America, and, though they now send
fewer ships, their taste for salt cod
from Newfoundland is unabated-in
fact, it is a national Portuguese dain-
ty. 1t is found in every little grocery
shop, hard and brown as a board. A
number of Portuguese have made their
home on the islands to the south of
the mainland of Massachusetts. and
there the dark eyes Of the Iberian
maiden, raven locks and a certain pic
turesque element in dress are not in
frequent. This connection with Por-
tugal dates back many years, the
ships of Marthas Vineyard bridging
the distance over sea and returning
with Portuguese overwhelming.

There is bulgy appearance to Bill
Hills hip pocket and If you notice
it don't get the idea that he carries a
by bears tooth that Bill brought
to the convention to show the boys. 1t
is out of the jaw OF an Alaskan gr1z-
Fly. Bruin stood IL feet, 6 inches high
in his bear feet and it should not be
wondered at when the tooth that Bill
is toting around Is five inches long
and four inches in circumference.
Bill stands about feet high himself
and to get an idea of what a fine
thing it would be to wake up in the
morning and have one of these big
bears. looking at you over the foot
board, he has a picture of himself
with the skin of the owner of the
tooth nailed up against the side of the
building. The skin would surely have

The United States Civil Service
Commission announces an examina-
tlon on March 9Th and 9th at all the
principal cities of the U. S. for secur-
ing list or eligibles from which to
make selections to fill positions In
the Philippine teaching service. The
government offers entrance salaries
of 5000 to 1920 and transportation to
Manila, with a chance of promotion
to a salary of $4,000. This is the last
examination of the present school
year and those who are appointed as
a result of this examination will be
expected to sail for Manila within
the next few months to be ready for
the opening of the new school year.
The cities named in Kansas for the
holding Of these examinations are;
Concordia, Manhattan, Kansas City,
Emporla, Fort Scott, Lawrence, Sa-
lima, Topeka ane Wichita.
The third bi-monthly examination
questions have not yet arrived. The
teachers who have only six months
school should notify me and we will
send the questions to them just as
soon as we receive the same.
We wonder how many boys and
girls are planning for the spelling
contest. Grades 7, 8 and 8 will spell
in part III from lesson l50 to the end
of the book and grades sand six from
pages 40 to page II in part IL. Some
definitions and rules and preiXes and
suffixes MAY be given.
Miss Jessie Jordan did not go to
her school Friday on account of the
rain. We doubt If there would have
been many pupils present.
We regret that the home of one of
our Seward county teachers was
burned to the ground one day not
long since. We know that Mrs. Slig-
er has the sympathy OF all the teach
ers in the county. We sincerely hope,
as we wrote her, that 1t may turn out
after all to be blessing In disguise.
One blessing has already been mani
fested-the loving helpfulness of all
her friends and neighbors.
Not all the reports for the fourth
and fifth months are In yet. We hope
no district will issue an order for the
salary of the fifth month of school,
until the teacher reports to them
that she has sent In the monthly re-
port for the fifth month. Please see
that the fifth months report is sent
in Immediately unless the school be-
gan so late that the fifth month is
not yet com pleted.

THE KAIsER's PALACES
Sixty Royal Abodes Open to Williams

From Munsey's Magazine.

From Munsey's Magazine.
 The number of the Kaiser's palaces is largely due to the fact that the Prus- sian monarchy has absorbed many minor German states, including the Kingdom of Hanover. the Duchy of Nassau, and the Electorate of Hesse-Cassel. All the pal aces and castles of the rulers of these states thus passed into the possession of the reigning house of Prussia, as 1t was considered injudicious either to destroy or to sell them, for fear of impairing the popularity of Hohenzollern rule. Thus 1t Is that the emperor is burdened with the possession of more than three-score res idences, some of which he has never even seen, and many of which are totally un- suited for royal habitation Although their maintenance entails a heavy drain upon his exchequer. they cannot, for political reasons, be either sold or leased
