WICKEDEST BUFFALO is
EXECUTED BY OWNER
(By United Press)

Cheyenne, Wyo., Oct. 15.-Ger-
onimo, the wickedest old buffalo bull
that ever lowered his shaggy head,
is dead. Geronimo was owned by
Charles Irwin, of the Y-6 ranch.
But Geronimo's meanness increas-
ed with age. Wire fences meant moth
ing to him, and the buffalo became
a common sight on many ranches.
Naturally, ranchmen cursed Geronl-
mos existence, as their cattle escaped
through the gaps in the fences. Re-
ports of badly gored cattle came to
Irwin, and morning a particularly
fine bull was found disemboweled. A
few hours later, Geronimo appeared
at his waIlow, his head matted with
blood.
And SO, on circumstantial evidence,
the big buffalo was executed by r.
win. His head, with its wickedly
cleaning eyes hangs on the wall of
living room of the Y-6 ranch house.
His hide makes a beautiful rug.
"And his spirit" reads the sign
board above his grave, erected by
cowboys on the Y-6, sis to be found
among the phantom herds OF Para
disc, where Geronimo, the bison in
carnation of the devil himself, has
ceased his roaming and fence-w walk
ing and treacherous charges, to find
happiness in the society of his kind"

One Of the characters in an early
day American romance of the time
when the "stamp act" was causing all
kinds of trouble is recorded as declar-
ing that New York never would be
real business city because Broadway
and Maiden Lane were lined with
trees. The Van Vrooms, the Stuyve-
SAINTS, the Artavelts, and other early
settlers of the country saved fine trees
about their homes, on the village
green's, along the country roads, and
in the fields. But one will see no
trees nowadays on Broadway, and
Maiden Lane has been transformed
from the pleasant, tree-bordered re-
gion of Dutch homes with flower gar
dens into the busiest wholesale jewel
~ district in America, If not in the
world.
Beauty and comfort gave way to the
inroads of commerce, not only in New
York but in most Of Americas great
cities, so that today trees in a busl-
ness street are a rare sight. There
are elm-shaded villages in New Eng
land; maple-shaded towns in New
York and the Ohio valley, and there
are Oak-tree streets to be seen in the
southeastern states, but for the most
part this refers only to- small towns
or cities-never to the congested CEN
ters of population where they should
have been preserved. Washington,
the national capital, is one Of the ex-
ceptions, and even there the paintings
were not always wisely arranged.
The tree growth in the streets of
the average American town or city is
ragged and unkempt in appearance,
while that Of the suburb Or small vii
LACE often is not much better, unless
the planting has been done under mu
nicipal control, and the paintings on
a street have been confined to sim
gle kind Of tree. The telegraph, the
telephone, the electric light, and the
trolley car have added their share to-
ward the mutilation or destruction OF
the good trees that were in existence
at the time of their coming.

caused Disagreement and ruin. "Suc-

INDIANS TO APPEAL TO KING
Delegates From elk Nations Represent
One of Oldest confederaeies in
the World.

The delegates from the Six Nations
who are to make personal appeal to
King George in respect of their ancient
rights represent one of the oldest and
most famous confederacies in the
world, certainly the most famous in
the history of Savage" nations.
The Five Nations confederacy, the
eastern branch Of the Iroquois, goes
back before the discovery by Column
bus. 1t was strengthened in 1712 by
the admission of the Tuscaroras from
North Carolina, and consisted then of
the Mohawks, Oneidas, Cayugas, Onon-
dagas and Senecas, with the Tusca-
rOras. 49,"
The Treaty of Utrecht had declared
the Five Nations to be British sub
jects and in the long struggle between
France and England in America the
British government based it's claim to
large tracts of country sometimes on
the ground Of the so-called subsection
Of the Five Nations, sometimes on the
ground of treaties made with them. By
the middle of the Eighteenth century
an orator of the Five Nations declared
in conference: ave don't know what
you Christians, English and French,
intend. We are SO hemmed in by you
both that we have hardly hunting
place left. In little while, if we find
bear in tree, there will Immediate
~ appear an owner of the land to claim
the property. We are so perplexed be-
tween you that we hardly know what
to say OF think"

To Give Timber "a Shot"

The best method of applying pre-
servatives to timber is by the pressure
process which is used by practically
all large commercial companies. says

Washington. BY this means the OFT
or mineral salt is forced deeply into
The tissues of the wood, thus giving
thoroughnpss and permanence not
otherwise attainahle. There are va
rous processes, but all use large and

large treating cylinders which are
usually six feet or more in diameter
and hundred feet or more in length.

It is permissible to inquire wheth-
err the time has not come for us to
envisage an accord with the United
States and to know in what measure
and upon what we are authorized to
base our hopes other than the warm
expression of friendship manifested
on every occasion towards US by the
American people.
Certainly it would be grave en-
ror to expccs fco9.:al engagements
from Washington engagements which
are not in harmony with their con-
5situtional laws, ideas or policies.
But it would seem that France has
much to gain by her political leader
coming into personal contact with
Harding and his cabinet. Then, too,
lit would have deplorable effect
upon our American friends if the
premier should renounce his visit to
Washington after formally accepting
the invitation.

HONEY IN BRIDAL CEREMONY
Pretty Custom in Sparta That IS a
Survival Of an Ancient
Pagan Rite.

In Sparta there is a most striking
and pretty custom, whose origin is
lost in the mists of antiquity. Stu
dents tell us that it is a survival of
an ancient pagan rite. .>
When the bride has really become
a wife, after her dowry has been paid,
and after the priest has solemniZed
the marriage vows, the bridegroom
takes her to his own home. At the
door stands the bridegrooms mother.
In her hand is a glass of honey and
water. The bride drinks some of it so
that her words in that house may al
ways be as sweet as honey.
The rest of the honey in the glass is
spilled upon the Intel of the doorway
and is smeared there-that the house
may be free from strife.
Then one of the wedding guests
breaks on the threshold pOme-
granate. In some of the Cyclades
islands the pOmegranate is thrown at
the door, and so is broken. If some
of the seeds stick the omen is con-
sidered wonderfully fine. In the island
of Rhodes the p0megranate-i IS placed
on the threshold Of the brides new
home, and the Bridegroom brushes it
with his foot when he enters with her.
Symbol of love and of fruitfulness is
the pomegranate in the minds Of those
whose affections still cling to the
"Gl0ry that was Greece"
With what tremulous fervor the
little bride in Rhodes must hear her
wedding guests shout as the bride
groom traces a cross on the threshold
with honey:
BE good and sweet as this honey!"

The custom of naming a child in

Power Tests Character
Nothing discloses real character
like the use of power. 1t is easy for
the weak to be gentle. Most people
can bear adversely. But if you wish
to know what man really is, give
him power. This is the supreme test.
1t is the glory of Lincoln that, having
almost absolute power he never
abused it, except on the side of mercy.
He spoke not to inflame, not to up
braid, but to convince. He was the
embodiment of the self-denial, the
courage, the hope, the nobility Of the
nation.-7Robert Green Ingersoll.
