PANIC AMONG BUFFALO HERD
Dummy, Operated at Suggestion of
Cartoonist Mccutcheon, Causes
Bisons to Flee Jungle.

When John McCutcheon was hunt
ing in Africa he was almost as much
interested in taking pictures of the
game as in killing it. For a few days
there was a large herd of buffaloes
grazing near his camp, and he was
keen to go out with his camera and try
his luck.
Mr.. McCutcheon had "A wonderful
idea. Ii he and another man got in
side buffa!o's hide they could go
among the Nerd and easily get dozens
of valuable pictures.
The day that hey we're to try this
experiment Nvt;ltchoOn had killed his
first lion and was 100 tired to go out
and play among the huhaloes. SO an
other man WAS persuaded to take his
place, a very tall man. He took the
hind part and the other man took the
fore. The tall man was little agitat-
ed and when they got near where the
huffaloes were grazing his emotions
increased.
All went well until they were really
among the beasts; then the gentleman
in the hind legs forgot himself and
kept raising his head. The buffaloes
saw one of their brothers with lively,
Uldulating back. Panic seized them.
They fed to the jungle.

REFUSE CHRISTMAS
LEAVE AT MEADE
Officers Fear Jam In Rail-
road Traffic.

Camp Meade, Admiral, Nd, Dec. IS.
-Brigadier General Nicholson, CON-
mander of this national army canton
ment, announced that no Christmas
leave would be allowed any men here,
except such as can prove exceptional
reason, such as Illness or death.
This step bars the projected home
going of men from Maryland and the
District of Columbia, who could reach
home by trolley. Under the ruling Of
the war department, these men could
have gone home from 4.30 P. NJ. the
day before Christmas until 1 P. M.
the day after Christmas.
The new order puts them on par
with the Pennsylvanians who arr
doomed to stay in camp under the
war departments orders, and at least
eliminates the appearance of favorit-
ism in holding Pennsylvanians here
and permitting the others to go.
1t became impossible for the Penn
sylvanias to go home for Christmas
when the war department announced
that only those men might go who
could reach home by trolley.
The camp will be open to visitors,
and there will be a complete holiday
for the men except those required to
perform necessary duties. such as
kitchen work and guard duty, Visit
ors will be welcome from every sec
ton except those parts of Maryland
which were quarantined against by
the camp authorities some weeks ago,
because of the prevalence there of
measles and other diseases.

Value OF Love.

No, tell you, little love goes a
long way, observes the Los Angeles
Times. Love was intended as a piquant
condiment, never as a whole meal.
Hate may endure through generations.
but love can't stand a week under
the same roof without an ingenious ad-
mixture of other ingredients. Love
rules the wOrld-eXactly. For the rea-
son that il is scarce and precious, de-
lightfully uncommon, and therefoSe
valuable. Diamonds themselves would
lose their value if you could pick 'em
up in the streets. Gold would be cheap
er than tinsel if there was enough of
it to go round Gold and love are both
powerful for the same reason-hard to
find, difficult to get, still more diff
cult to keep.

West Virginia Soil.

Nearly two-thirds of the land area
of West Virginia is in farms. All
soils are from diSintegration of lime

the land being productive to the tops
of the mountains. Clay soil is found
In some of the higher portions, alluvial
soil in the uplands, and unproductive
