Park Buffalo Increases Rapidly.

Buffalo are increasing in the Yel-
lowstone national park at remark
able rate compared with few years
ago." observed H. F. Jaynes, a Gard
ner, Mont, business man.
-Four or five years ago there were
not more than forty or fifty in the
park; today there is a herd of more
than 200 and they are continuing to
multiply satisfactorily. There is not
much danger, as once feared, that
the buffalo is going to become extinct.
Thepark buffalo are in manner be-
coming domesticated. A man on
horseback can ride among the animals
without fear, but, of course, it would
be dangerous to go among them on
foot, just as it is dangerous to go in
to a herd of steers on foot. The buf-
falo and steers look upon a man on a
horse as another animal.
1T is the same with the bear and
other animals in the national park;
they are becoming used to civiliza-
ton, while at the same time enjoying
in a large measure their natural en-
vironments. Nobody pays any atten-
ton to the bear. They will not attack
a person if left alone, but if annoyed,
especially in the case of the she-bear
with cubs, the person bothering the
animal is likely to be knocked down.
For some reson the black-tail
deer have migrated from the park in
large numbers. Probably 500 OF
these animals left the Yellowstone
in the last year or two and the hunt
ers in the adjoining country had a
fine time killing them. The porcu-
pines have the same habit of leaving
the park on occasions, only they re-
turn after a few months outside. The
deer didn't come back because the
hunters killed them.
"Poaching in the park is practical
" unknown. The last case Of poach-
ing that remember was in 1886, and
happened to be present when the
poacher was arrested. In those days
the only thing that could be done
was to send the poacher out of the
park; but now there is law which
makes poaching punishable by i'm
prisonment.
"It is a mistake to believe that
more foreigners visit the park than
Americans" AIDED Mr.. Jaynes. Last
year, there were about $4,000 tour
lists and they were mostly Americans
Our people have high appreciation
of the wonders of their own country,
though l must say there is a notable
absence of wealthy persons who 60

"Shoestring Bill A Queer Character

"Shoestring BILL one of Wall
streets quaint characters for more
than 25 years, has disappeared. Those
who know him we'll say that he is
dead, but none is able to tell the
time and place of his last moments
and a canvass Of the hospitals where
he would most likely be taken in case
of a fatal illness produced no infor-
nation.
Known in the financial district by
the soubriquet which characterized
his maner of obtaining livelihood, /,
"Shoestring Bill's" right name was
Jacob Schwartz and his last known
place of residence was at:36 Frank
fort street, says the New York Trib-
une. He had been suffering from
tuberculosis for several months and
his friends say If he has not already
succumbed to the ravages of white
plague that it can be only question
of days, perhaps hours.
Born In Lima, Peru, Of Hebrew
parents, the man who was so well
known to Wall street, according to
his own narration, come to this coun-
try when but lad of three years old.
His early life was clouded in mystery.
In Harlem he would have been known
as an "old clothes" vender, but his
operations in Wall street also includ-
ed lending small sums to stock ex-
change messenger boys st rates of in
terest which, if they were charged by
Russell Sage, would have been term
ed usurious. From whatever source,
"shoestring Bill accumulated a for
tune, estimated anywhere between
$50, 900 and $4,000. r
""He never spent cent" said one
of his acquaintances, $50 every dollar
he made was so much clear profit.
think his death, if he is dead, was
due chiefly to his unwillingness to
provide himself with even the bare
necessities of life.
while apparently much adverse
to the use of water for bathing pur-
poses, 'Shoestring Bill was one Of the
smartest Jews I ever met. To my
knowledge he owned two fiat houses.
He was an active real estate spec
ulator and must have made most OF
his money this way, with the original
capital he accumulated from the sale
of old clothes and hats and lending
q dollar here and there to the Wall
street messenger boys"
With every appearance Of hobo
"Shoestring Bill was a great reader,
especially on political subjects. He
wrote many letters to the newspa-
pers under the name of Ward and
displayed a keen Intelligence on the
various developments Of the day. His
attitude was invariably that of the
critic. He was hostile to the policies
of the late Mayor Gaynor, as we'll as
to other municipal, State and nation
al leaders.
That "Shoestring Bill had pas
sion for classical music was evidenced
bv the fact that he was said to be
constant attendant at the opera, but
he always sat in the cheapest seat he
could buy.

A Parallel Case.

No sensible farmer would object
to big corn crop because he did not
have barns enough to put it in. He

Wild Hog Hunt in Anderson County

TO tell an Anderson man tndl luele
was a hunt for wild boar in Ander-
son county last week would make
him feel like you were trying to tell
him a fish story, but it is the truth,
the whole truth and nothing but the
truth.
The hog was originally wild and
was captured in the mountains OF
North Carolina and was brought to
Pendleton some years ago. At Pen
dleton, this boar escaped from the
farmers that had him in charge and
went to the woods with companion.
The other hog was killed sometime
ago with a shotgun and a small hunt
was then started after the big fellow
who was known to be in the woods
near Pendleton, but that hunt re-
suited in a failure and the boar had
not been seen again until this week.
When it was reported in Pendle-
ton and the Wild Hog section
that the old boar had returned to the
city there was q large crowd OF men
and boys, with more dogs and horses
got together and started on the trail
of the hog. They trailed him to his
stamping ground on 1S-mile creek.
The hog gave them a day OF sport
and led them up and down the creek
for about 27 miles and then gave
the party the slip and went OF by
himself for the night. After having
chased the hog for a whole day and
then being lodged so cleverly, the
party was determined to get his Hog
ship the next day. So with some
more men and more dogs, the crowd
left on the second days hunt. There
is no sport in the world like hunting
for a wild hog. Especially when
the hog chooses to be hunted and Is
willing to let the hunters get close
enough on him to moke the thing in
teresting.
The hog in question had a regular
schedule mapped out and after drag
ging the entire party over the biggest
part of Pendleton township and part
of the Wild Hog section, he left for
Seneca river. Arriving at the river on
time, and with the procession in be-
hind him, he gave them some aquatic
sports. He swan across the river and
back a couple of times to get cooled
off and then started to do some real
running. The party followed as best
they could and chased and raced for
half a day in that part of the world.
One of the party took an unfair ad-
vantage with the old fellow and shot
at him. 1t 80 happened that the shot
hit the hog and as the hog was tired
of playing with them and they were
not playing fair by shooting at him.
he made up his mind to be as tougn
as possible. The party caught the
body of the hog and skinned it. He
was a big fellow and of the razor
back specie. He was full grown and
pretty skinny and tough. There was
plenty of meat for the crowd but the
old fellow was so tough that it was
impossible to eat any of him.
The remarkable thing about the
chase is that they ran the hog for
about % miles and when captured
the hog did not make sound. He
was either dumb or resigned to his
fate.
The hog was as wild as was in
his native state. The folks that
brought him from the wilds of North
Carolina had only a!few days before
captured him, and after escaping
again he lost what Of civilization ne

subject 'of Jest by the humorists Of the
world and are too well known to bear
repetition. The spool Of thread has many
OF the same characteristics. 1t drops to
the floor, rebounds in the most unexpect-

path ending under some ponderous piece
Of furniture almost out OF reach. In do

few feet, but II has managed to unwind
yards and yards OF thread and incident

FAMOUS WoMAN-HER BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
FRANCESCA JANAUSCHEK.
BY MARY MARSHALL

Copyright IsliJ
Francesca or Francisco or Fanny
Janauschek was born on July 30, 1890, in
Prague, Bohemia. She died only ten
years ago after a life of many strong
contrasts, much happiness and great
success as well as unhappiness that some
times amounted TO misery and in the
end disappointment and friendlessness.
Her life was an example of the truism
that unless an actress possesses business
ability and balance as well as dramatic
genius her road is likely to be beset with
many disappointments and failures.
From her early childhood Janauschek
showed remarkable talent and her first
appearance was in Prague. By the time
she was eighteen she was engaged as
leading actress in Frankfort. There she
remained till she was thirty when she
made a tour Of the great German cities.
When she was thirty-seven she first came
to this country where she met with re-
markable success. taking such difficult
parts as Lady Macbeth and Medea. She
finally made her home IN the United
States and toward the close of her career
she played successfully in such roles as
Meg MerriIIes.
Finally when Jansuschek was seventy
four, too old TO act any longer, she
found that all her money was goIre and
