after buffalo calves 3by 8tblqig oh the plfleubib ab extremely exciting bu81be8s pretty servol8 work until within the last five years it was not tiacgc or uncommon for buffalo cows and calves to be fonnd herded with the wild cattle of the ranges and the spring roandnpa always reported more or leas sport for toe daring and reckless cow punchers with buffalo calves western men have at least however begun to realize with more than a little regret that the large droves of buffaloes roaming at will over the trackless plains of the territories formed sights that are for ever to be lost and to realize also that the hametulaunghter of these picturetquebrutet 3abas been a waste of gold xbe fact that the domesticated buffalo and the cross breeds are both very valuable and easily herded is just now giving a new zt to the sport of buffalo bunting and the dangers of the chase are increased ten fold by ths factthat the object now is not to kill but 10 capture to make prisoners of the young or to bring upon ones stlf the fierce avenging fury of a buffalo oo by throw ing a rope over her calf requires the utmost selfpotscskiou as well as that pecu liar daredevil familiarity with saddle and horse which are found so fully developed in the range riders of the western plains the hunt ie profitless if the calves are injured and the preparations for the care of the cap tives are not only minute but necessarily expensive domestic cows are provided as wet nurses and a constant watchfulness is observed over these compulsory foster mothers until they have overcome a not un natural repugnance to their new oharges the calves however when captured and placed in a corral with their nurses display no excessive modesty in foraging for milk and their impetuous raids upon h new com missary aro extremely amusin an important element in the buffalo hunt ing of today is the faot that the females give birth to their young very early in the spring and the hunt must be accomplished before the beginning of the spring roundup of cattle or the calves become too strong to capture alive a specimen htjht on the 13sh of february two four horse teams with heavy wegons bhind them palled blowly out of the town of kvwlins i wy t in the first wagon and in charge of the expedition was a gentleman known as the colonel whose weather beaten and genial face was aglow with the pleasures of anticipations and whose wagon was packed 1 1 with bedding grub cooking utensils and last bat not least a varied as sortment consisting of sour mash martel cigars- tobacco pipes jj rifles c beside him sat john rotund smiling and evidently content with the world as it is the rear wagon contained two thousand pounds of baled hay and a quantity of rope to be used for lariats and was manned by a notable jehu who the colonel swore could trans foimajack rabbit into a pullet or if the very worst should befall them could broil the harness leather so that it would be as good as a tenderloin band again bat this time under vastly differ ent choleric conditions theik blood was up the cows that had lost their calves were furious and the one whose calf was a ill with her was disposed to fight savagely the calf was exhausted by the run and the cows were decidedly vicious so giving their horses a breathing space the three hunters separated again coming upon the band from different points as they ap proached cautiously intending if possible to stampede the herd and rope the calf as it fell behind one of the infuriated cow nude a sidelong dash and in a twinkling wrights long legs were in the air and his horse lay kicking in the sage brush while the cow was plunging away down the plain with the speed of an unlimited express chapman threw his rope on the calf and as it bel le wed its mother turned upon chapman who was forced to drop the rope to avoid a collision which would have been certain death finding her calf free the cow fled and was ran away from the calf by chap man and gomes while wright who had picked himself np and got into bis saddle again followed overtaking the calf and throwing another rope over it secured tbe last of the three one of the wagons was brought np and the calves loaded into it saddle horses were again changed and the pirty moved the camp about twelve miles to a cotral where domestic cows were held awaiting their new oharges the following day was spent in a fruitless search for other buffaloes but on the third day two other calves were captured makiig in all five captives as the recclt of a ten days hunt two much affected wife to husband

companions attested their faith in the things hoped for the constant ohuck chuck of the heavy wagon was a little wearying to the colonel but the bottles in bis wagon were well packed and easily accessible so that bell springs was reached without any occurrence to mar the pleasure of the trip the jehu had an nounced that noon camp would be made here so that the horses could get water on alighting from his wagon the colonel looked about him for a moment and then a terrific roar was heard where the h is the water right there replied jehu pointing to a trail of water about tho siz9 of a

ministry has started with a stroke of coercion the mere contemplation of which is enough to knock the wind out of lord salisbury and mr gladstone and all who follow them m conatana the misis- ter of the interior published the other day a decree to all prefects and subprefects throughout the republic ordering them to proclaim in their districts complete suppres sion of the society known as the league of patriots it is forbidden to carry on its propaganda and any meeting ot itg or under its auspices consisting of mors than twenty people ia to be put down by armed force this highhanded decree affects an organ numbering nearly a quarter of a million of members these are drawn from all racks of society there are mem bers of parliament in the league a multi tude of labourers and all sorts and condi tions of men belonging to the intervening classes the french home secretarys de cree applies equally to a kindred and power ful association caiteithe gymnastic league and the order for repression is so construed that the condemned associations cannot spring up under another name to carry on their work what makes the circum stances yet more note- worthy is the ratifies tion by the chamber of the ministerial de cree by a mnjirity of 339 votes to 195 the chamber of deputies has adopted a re solution approving of the governments zeal in repressing factious enterprises it is true that in france resistance to the law is at once met with loaded rifles and fixed bayonets but for all that it is strange that so strongabodyasthemembersoftheleaguehave not resorted to the barricade aa their ances tors invariably did when antagonistic to the governing power but it is the boast of the suppressed organizations that they seek to prosecate their aims exclusively by constitutional methods the ostensible reason for putting down the league and confiscating all its property and papers is that it sent a despatch of sympathy to the panslavists when the news came that the french admiral had tired upon atchinoff and his armed force on the latters refusal to quietly quit french ground on the rad sea coast the tiaot he got the grimmest hospital story i ever heard concerned a

trail and follow ed it at some distance in advance of tbe others carefully watchiog ahead the trail lead through sage brush over the plains across innumerable draws until gomez reached the summit of a low range of hills when he suddenly wheeled his horse and re turned to the party instantly all was ex oitement tbe game was in sight one en ormous bull four cows and three calves were browsing unsuspicious of danger about half a mile away from the party froth horses wore roped and sadlled and the hunters separated to surround tbe herd with as little nolso as possible at a signal from wright given when each of the hunters had crept as close as possible the three horses made a dash forward with a snort of fear the bnll threw up his head and seeing wright rushing upon him ho wheeled id blind terror and plunged headlong toward chapman whose horse reared and fell back ward as chapman swung himself out of the saddle nnhurt the terrified brute went past him like a oyclone the mother objected meanwhile gomez had thrown his rope over a calf and was in the act of getting out of bis saddle to tie the calfs logs when the mother came dashing through the sage brush with a savage bellowing for her young as the infuriated brute rushed toward him gome z dropped his ropo and swung his horse around and the cow finding both gomez and wright galloping toward her from the rear fled panic atrlckep and her calf was secured by this time the others of the herd were a milo away with chapman flying after riem another calf was run do n and tied before its mother had sufficiently recovered from her fright to notice its absence the three hunters then put their horses to a gallop to rundown the remaining calf a half hoars hard riding brought them up to the stay of boulangiaai and indeed this real reason is no longer disguised the faot ie that the leagues despatch of sympathy never left paris the authorities having in tercepted it even if it had there might have neen occasion for tfficial remonstrance but not for the suppression of a powerful politiaal organisation the league of pa triots began as a gambettisl organisation and as long ai it backed the opportunists it was not only allowed but encouraged it has been converted to bonungism and that is why it ia put down the fear is that this arbitrary patting down of it will make general boulanget stronger than
