CHINA FAMINE
RELIEF ENDED
Some Districts VIII Be Carried
Through June; Rainfall Brings
Normal Crops.

Peking, June 2.-Delayed y
Famine relief in a large majority
of the afflicted districts is being
terminated by the international re-
lief committee, and the field work
ers recalled.
Several districts. however, will
have to be carried through June,
and a section OF these districts
through the summer Rain has
fallen generally throughout the
famine area, and for the most part
crops are normal.
The committee estimates that
funds in hand will provide for the
actual feeding of those in need un-
til the final cessation of all opera
tions, but will not suffice for any
preventive measures or rehabilita-
ton.

BUFFALO ON THE INCREASE
--latest Reports Show That the Animal
10 Not Likely to Become Extinct,
at Any Rate.

The fear that existed not long ago
lest the native buffalo would soon be-
come extinct Is dispelled by report of
the American Bison society, which
states that there were 1888 Wild and
tame buffalo In the United States In
January, 1920. This is an increase Of
about 300 per cent since 1908, In which
year there were 1,116 wild and tame
buffalo In this country.
OF the nine government-Owned herds,
two of the largest under the care Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture are located in the Wichita nation
al game preserve, Oklahoma, and on
the national bison. range at Dixon,
Mont The herd on the Wichita pre-
serve now numbers 154, including %
calves of this year. In this herd four
bulls and 10 cows are ten years of age
or over, and one COW is twenty-nine
years old. The 15 animals that con-
stituted the original Wichita herd came
from the New York Geological park.
1t is planned this year to dispose of
some of the surplus buffalo In the gov
eminent herds In accordance with the
provisions made by the 1919 appropria-
tiOnal bill for their care. Public parks
and municipalities are the largest pa
irons. By distributing the animals

fortune overtakes the main herds, there

CHAPTER XVII.


Wherein Young Mr.. Lincoln Retrays
Ignorance OF Two Highly important
Subjects.
There were two subjects Of which
Mr.. Lincoln had little understanding.
They were women and finance Until
they had rightly appraised the value
of his friendship, women had been

for years had avoided women, save
those OF old acquaintance. When he
lived at the tavern In the village, often
be had gone without a meal rather
than expose himself to the eyes of
strange women. The reason for this
was well understood by those who knew
him. The young man was an exceed
ingly sensitive human being. No
doubt he had suffered more than any
one knew from ill-coneealed ridicule,
but he had been able to bear 1t with
composure In his eallow youth. Later
nothing reused his anger like an at
tempt to ridicule him.
Two women he had regarded with
great tenderness-his foster mother.
the second wife of Thomas Lincoln.
and Ann Rutledge. Others had been
to him, mostly, delightful but inscru-
table beings. The company of women
and Of dollars had been equally unfa-
miliar to him. He had said more than
once in his young manhood that he felt
embarrassed In the presence OF either,
