BUFFALO AND INDIANS,

From one point Of view 1t seems
pity that the buffalo were destroyed,
but SO long as those immense herds
ranged the plains from Canada to Tex
as the Indians ranged with them and
found ,lenty of subsistence. AS late
as the winter OF 1874 and 1875 there
were plenty OF buffalo and Indians on
the staked plains OF Texas and plenty
OF trouble for both soldiers and set
tiers. When the buffalo We're destroy
ed the Indians could roam no longer,
as they could not kill enough game OF
other kinds to live on and were forced
by the scarcity OF wild meat to remain
on their reservations and be rationed
by the government, and it'became pos
sible for that immense country to be
divided UP into farms and ranches and
occupied by settlers, and the grasses
upon which the buffalo had lived be-
came food for tame cattle. sheep and
horses, of more value to the country
every year than all the buffalo running
wild would have been In a thousand
years. Destroying the buffalo settled
the Indian question. and there are
many men and women alive today in
peaceful and happy homes who would
have been killed and scafped by In
dams II the buffalo had not been de-
stroyed.-Letter to New York Sun.

There was no disorder in Hoboke Of

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN WASH
THEIR OWN HAIR

They do. not because it IS a fad.
but because they wish 10 obtain the
greatest possible hair beauty and
be sure they are not using anything
harmful They have found that IN
washing ths hair it is never wise to
use a makeshift but is always ad-
visable TO use a preparation made for
shampooing only. Many OF our
friends say they get the best results
from a simple homemade canthrox
mixture You can use this at a cost
of about three cents a shampoo BY
setting some canthrox from your
druggist and dissolving a teaspoonful
in a cup OF hot water. This makes
enough shampoo liquid to apply TO all
the hair instead OF just the top OF the
head. as with most preparations
DandrufG excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in the
rinsing water. Your hair viii be so
fluffy that IL viii look much heavier
