THE
AMERICAN BISON
BY GEORGE FITCH.
Author Of AT Good Old Siwash.'

" He American bison is a great
and noble animal whose history
u is closed. He was elbowed into
oblivion by the American settler and
the American hunter about 30 years
ago.
When the first Americans began to
venture timidly into the bowling in
terror Of Nebraska they had TO push
aside vast quantities OF buffalo which
is the informal name for bison" be-
fore they could proceed The buffalo
was a large OK with an automo1lle
robe for d skin He had an imposing
head with a long chin bearG, a huge
and shaggy hump and a body which
slOped down rapidly and dwindled OF
into an insignificant an 1oollsn tall'
hardly large enough to break the leg
o. a stout hOrsefly.
The buffalo roamed the plains OF
herds of countless thousands, ate grass
for a living and was as harmless as
MOOdman parade. He had two great
misfOrtunes. He was good TO eat and
he was easy to shoot After the Union
Pacific railroad was begun, hunting
buffalo became a western pastime and
the man who couldn't go out and get
enough buffalo for a mess in a single
morning was considered to be a very
poor shot indeed
Nature had spent many centuries de-
vcloping and perfecung the buffalo,
but a man with his bumptious con-
tempt for nature usually managed to
exterminate q specimen in about ten
minutes after he had sighted him. Men
shot buffalo as they do clay pigeons
today and left them to rot on the
plains, coats and all When we con-
slider how many automobiles are
freezing each winter nowadays for the
want Of a fine buffalo robe to throw
over the hood we cannot but feel
shocked at the criminal wasuefulness
OF the hunters Of the seventies.
The buffalo endured being hunted IN
his proud but patient manner for a few
years and then startled the nation by
disappearing. An investigation deVel-
oped the fact that there weren't any Of
hi mleft TO speak Of A few hundred
buffalo now exc out an existence under
