The most effective weapon of the
Nasal and Andorobo is the arrow
which they poison with the Accan.

ing to National Geographic society
bulletin. They boil the leaves and
branches until the mixture becomes
thick and pitch-like in appearance. and
place it on sheets of bark which they
hide high on the branches of trees
away from children until it is needed.
When an animal is shot with an arrow
dipped in the poison 1t dies almost Inn

flesh around the wound as soon as pos

der is eaten and the blood is drunk.
This love of blood as an article of food
Is common among many African tribes,
several Of them going so . far as to
bleed their cattle and drink the blood
hot or mix it with their porridge.

One Of the easiest ways for dress
ing up the house at holiday time is
to make lamp, candle and electric
light shades or lanterns Of crepe or
tissue paper and tinsel. To make
the small lantern pictured two rings
Of cardboard are covered with plain
black or gold paper pasted over them.
A length Of light green tissue paper
is folded along the. center, slashed
into narrow strips and pasted inside
the rings. Under this a length Of
rose-colored Grape paper narrower
than the green Is pasted; this causes
the strips Of green paper to spread
and stand out. Silver tinsel hangs
from the wire handle at each side.

port the allegation that Mr.. Conley

Special to The Tribune
Kalispell, Dec. 20.-The buffalo
calves which were donated to the city
Of Kalispell by the Conrad estate and
which were inadvertently shipped to
Yakima with the remainder of the
herd. returned to kalispell Monday
morning.
They were shipped in padded crates
and seemed none the worse for the
trip, eating and drinking uneoncerned-
ly as soon as unIoaded.
They We're put in the city water
works park as part of the scheme
to collect specimens of native wild ami
mails and to create zoo.
Superintendent Lawrence of the park
has one of the finest collections of
Chinese or ring necked pheasants in
the state Starting originally with an
allotment from the state fish and
game commission, the birds did so well
that early this spring considerable
flock of mature birds was liberated and
are apparently doing well along the
Saltwater river bottoms. Their rapid
increase is due to the fact that, con
trary to the usual custom of native
pheasants, they bring off two broods
in the spring, the male taking care of
the first brood, while the female lays
the second and matches them. Several
pairs have voluntarily returned to the
vicinity of the city pump house and
raised broods and reports of farmers
living along the river show that the
birds have become thoroughly acclim-
ated and are very prolific under Mon
tana conditions

ttGentleman's Agreement" Is
Effective Against Bootlegging
Says Enforcement Officer.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-Federal Pro-
hibition Director O. II. p. Shelley of
Montana, who met the Saskatchewan
liquor commission ap Regina, when
the gentleman agreement" was en-
tered into with Canada for the ex-
change of information and alteration
of regulations governing rum-running
across the border, reported in person
to Commissioner Haynes, to the eff
feet that the arrangement is produc-
tive of marked results, and smuggling
has been materially reduced.
MY enforcement officers said
Mr.. Shelley, "are cooperating in a
most satisfactory way with the state
enforcement officials under the juris-
diction Of the state attorney general.
We have the support Of practically all
the newspapers, and confiscated liquor,
mostly inferior in character, is de-
stroyed as rapidly as cases are termi-
mated. -.
Speaking of the attitude of federal
and state courts of Montana, Mr..
Shelley said that they are in favor OF
tanned whenever evidence justifies.
sixteen cases were prosecuted in the
federal courts and a conviction was
obtained in nearly every case"
Touching upon the results accruing
from the "gentleman's agreement
with Canada. Mr.. Shelley said:
"Much information has been exchanged
which is of helpful character.
Liquor stocks in Saskatchewan and
Alberta are practically depleted, and
some of the wholesale liquor dealers
have gone out of business. With the
border line $50 miles long, and the
crossing place for smuggling into
Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Colorado,
in addition to Montana, rum running
is problem, but am safe in stating
that it is now pretty well under
control"
Director Shelley reported that the
prohibition agents in Montana have
been commissioned special deputies IN
the Indian service. to suppress traffic
among the Indians, without compen-
sation.

the landing and although held fast by
the cable, was frozen fast in the mid
die Of the river. compelling them to
make a detour by way Of the steel
bridge, a distance of about twenty
miles According to reports from along
