THE TIRED BUSINESS MAN

Are not all business men tired? If not, why do we hear so much about musi(a comedies and vaudeville performances that are constructed especially fer the purpose of resting and refreshing the tired business man?
 If there is any one claim that has been conceded for ages past it is this: Fatigue is much more fatal to man than a wom. an. We soldem hear of tired washerwoman or tired house keeper, Nobody ever wrote a musical comedy for the tired schoolmarms. It has always been held that if a man has to work at night he must sleep in the daytime, but everybody knows that women can walk the floor all night with a sick baby in her arms and still be able to perform strenuous house hold duties next day. mans work is from sun to sun"-that being the limit of his endurance.

The Rescue of The Buffalo


The rescue of the buffalo,
more properly called bison,
from extinction is a romance of
that fight for conservation that
goes on in this country with
ever-lncreasing vigor. Very
many species of useful and beau-
tiful wild life are today threaten
ed with extinction thruout-the
length and breadth of the land.
yet comparatively few of our
people realize this and fewer
yet are willing to make personal
sacrifices to save this wonderful
heritage to the children of the
future.
Scarcely a half century ago
the buffalo roamed our western
plains in almost uncountable
numbers from Canada to Mex
lco. To the red men who then
roamed the plains with them
they were an unfailing source of
supplies, food, clothing, housing
and fuel. To the white men of
the region they were all these
and represented also the wonder
and romance of the primitive
open world and the historic
past. Cortez and his band of
Spanish conauistadors were the
first white men to see one.
They found him confined in the
menagerle at Montezuma's
capital as a rare and wonderful
animal from the untraden wilds
to the north, for Mexico City is
three hundred miles south of the
natural range of the bison.
"A wonderful composition of
divers Animals" says the Span
ish chronicler who described the
specimen, referring to it as "the
Mexican bull. "It has crooked
Shoulders, with a Bunch on its
Back like a Camel; the Flanks
dry; its Tail large. and ITS Neck
covered with Hair like Lion.
1t is cloven-footed, its Head
armed like that of a Bull, which
it resembles IN Fierceness and
has no less Strength Agility"
In l612 Englishmen saw bison
near what is now the city of
Washington, D. c.. and after
that date they were more com.
seen rowing throughout
various portions of what is now
the United States, and occuripgl
in some parts in immense herds. |
The open region of the Mississ-
ippi Valley, where the land was
interested but we'll watered,
was the true buffalo range.
There the early explorers found
the animals in such numbers, in
herds of such size. that only sup
erlatives could be used in at
tempting to describe them.
"Teeming myriads," "countless
herds" incredible numbers"
are favorite phrases, which can
give only an inadequate idea of
the extraordinary spectacle often
presented. 1t has been estimated
that on the plains alone were
forty million, on the prairies
thirty million. and in the wood
ed sections five million, a total
of seventv-five millions of these
superb animals, a wonderful
heritage, scattered over area of
some three million square miles.
Looked at from an economic
point of view here was a mar
velous source Of free food, fur.
leather and other products that
might easily have been conserv-
ed as an unfailing supply to help
lessen today's high cost of living.
The Indians of the earlier days
thus utilized the herds, their in
roads upon them for meat and
skins in no wise euualing the

perhaps a hundred dollars. Fif-
ty years ago one or two were in
every farmers sleigh, and they
could be bought for only a few
dollars. Yet no finer robe for
warmth and comfort could be
found. The ruthless robe-hunt-
ers at the rail-heads on the west
ern plains were slaughtering the
great animals by the thousand,
taking merely the pelts and leav-
ing the carcasses to rot or feed
the vultures where they fell.
Thus the buffalo passed with
amazing and disconcerting sud-
denness, ahd thus much of our
wild life is passing today, unno-
ticed in its going by the thought
less crowd. Even of those who
knew, not many could believe
that such amazing numbers
could pass from the face of the
earth so rapidly. Now only a
few scattered remnants remain,
here and there, mainly on reserv-
ations where they are carefully
protected under governmental
supervision.
That we have them at all is
due to a few large-hearted men
who formed the American Bison
Society and generously gave
funds and valuable time to the
work of preservation. That
there are today in the world sew
eral thousand bison, slowly in
creasing IN number, is due en-
tirely to the philanthropic and
humane activities of these men.
There were but a few hundred
buffalo left when the work be-
gan. and it is rarely that race
has reached such small numbers
and had the opportunity and the
vitality to survive and increase.
For a race of wild creatures to
fail almost utterly, passing in lit
tie more than a century from
seventy-five million to few
hundred, is extraordinary. That
there should be brought about
an increase from the few hund-
red to several thousand in little
more than a decade, is still more
unusual.
IN our country twenty-seven
States today have buffalo, rang
ing in number from a solitary
specimen or two in a geological
park to a few score or a few
hundred in a State reservation.
Canada has nearly thirteen hun
dred in three large reservations
and it is estimated that in far
northern Athabasca are four to
five hundred roaming the wild
erness unrestrained. There may
be, altogether. $500 to 1000.
In the United States many of
the buffalo are closely confined,
but most of the larger herds
roam the ranges as free and far
more safe than their wild proge-
nitors, always owing their safety,
of course, to the watchful care
of the same human race that
came SO near exterminating
them. The world changes for
the better, and in no wise are
these changes more marked than
IN the fact that man, the destroy
er, is steadily becoming man the
conServator and protector of the
wild life that once he so ruthless
ly destroyed.-Winthrop Pack
