n1er number is generally believed TO be
nearer the right figure.
The men in the biological survey hold
that the government herd should be twice
as large as it is. The farmers in Jack
son Hole argue that there is no reason
why such a great number of these crea-
lures should he allowed to roam In the
open and eat grass that might sustain
cattle and horses. But the government
has in mind the great scheme of stocking
all the land with this choice game and
is husily going forward with the task
For the purpose 1t is taking about tnou-
sand choice members from the herd each
year and sending them abroad.
The hunters who come to those sec
tons of Wyoming and Montana adjacent
to the park during tho open season take
n toll of the herds amounting to four or
five thousand With the ravagcs of the
wolves there is a considerable shortage TO
be made up. To this shortage Is al times
added the deaths in time OF famine. So
the numbers OF the herds are being kept
pretty we'll down. They must be nursed
with some care for years to come II the
government is to accomplish its purpose.

This thing is possible because Uncle

self to do such special work as he may
have on hand. He takes some canned
food, and other so-called digestibles
with him and cooks his own meals, SO
that he is absolutely free from human
interruption. This feature of his work
is not generally known, but DIR. Bell
tells me that he finds it of great value
in the product realized. and in the
maintenance OF intellectual and psychi-
cal health
As to his night work, DIR. Bell keeps
this going from day to day, year in and
year out. When he is travelling by train
lie has the drawing room of the sleep
er and carries on his night work there
and he does the same in his cabin on
his long ocean trips over the world.
Speaking of this recalls curious in
cfdent which happened during his visit
to Japan some years ago.
We had been talking about Japan
and I asked DR.. Bell to tell me of his
audience with the emperor. He replied:
You know, an invitation to an audi
ence OF that kind is a commend, and it
has to be met at the exact time of the
appointment. The United States minis
ter had said he would arrange for the
audience. but that there was no GER
tainty when it could be granted. l was
travelling with my wife and daughters
We had left Toxic and gone to the
western part of Japan. when one day |
received a telegram telling me that his
ma jesty would receive me two days
later at 10 o'clock in the morning. At
that time the United States minister
did not know of our whereabouts, and
he only found US by telegraphing to all
of the hotels in western Japan where
we might possibly be stopping At any
rate. he found me. and that same night
I left my family and came back to
Toxic"
At this point DR.. Bell stopped AMI
said:
Il think ] had better call in Charles.
who was with me at the time He will
remember the details better than / do"
Thereupon DR. Bell rang for his valet.
and Charles. bright-looking colored
man of perhaps thirty. came in. and DR..
Bell asked him TO tell me how he had
gone to the emperor. Said Charles:
You see. Mr.. Bell, we were in kioto
d the time we got the telegram. AMI
we had to come right away to Toxic.
We stopped on the way at Yokohama
and 1t was not until the night before
you were to meet the emperor that we
got back to Toxic. Then you received
news from the American legation that
YOU must appear the next morning at
10 o'clock at the palace in full dress
suit. with a tall silk hat and white
gloves. You had the dress suit. but
you had no tall hat nor gloves. l Went
out and bought the gloves.
But what did we do for a hat?
"Oh, we hired that 1t was so small
that you could not wear it. but you
had only to carry it in your hand.
