The Land In Which They Once Lived. Formerly Subsisted by Pillage and Plunder. Tho Klckapoo Indians nre leaving tetr reHt'ivatlon near Shawnee, and rgo parties of them are going every eek to New Mexico. These partlcu r IndiaiiH are known lu the govern ent records as Mexican Kickapoos, icause of the land In which they once vet, says I he Kaunas City Journal. The Klckapoos and tho Apaches iiimsd to have hv.cn natural enemies id they fought whenever an oppor ..nity presented Itself. These tribes iO were among the most vicious eno 13S of the whiles. The Klckapoo ucf, C'he-qua-me-ko-hl-ko, often dla ys a pair of buckskin leggings hav- sixteen scalps down either side, fhen he becomes especially well ae :ainted and confidential, he shows a Mte's scalp that of a woman, hav g a few uray hairs In it. The Kickapoo warfare against tho hltes was one of pillage and plunder ;ainst their herds by it they lived and when pursued too vigorously ey retrented across the Hlo Grande id took refuse with tho Indians of at rotjuV.lic. But no sooner did the beef supply in low than incursions against the ttle of the Mexicans were organized, hlch resulted in their being driven tain into Texas. Tho Indians were A long In learning that the Rio unde was a line tho two armies uld not pass and so immunity ro ll ted. Under these circumstances a hor r warfare was maintained which sted tiil well Into the '70s. Finally in. Cmok smashed precedents and .irsued the Kirkapoos across tho rer, captured their women and chil en, and brought them back. The cldent caused an international hub lb and led to the forming of an rreement that tho troops of either tuntry mlsht cross the line when i pursuit of the Indians. But the enpturn of the "wor"an iks" narked the end of the regim ' the Kickaj'oos as followers of tho urpath. t'lill 'hoir pp.ciflcation was it accomplished without many thrill ;g lnclii..;its.

A N'cvtl Competition. "In Michigan wood-chopping coni utitions are becoming quite popular," :id Cel. i:. I'.oyed, a well known Uchlgan lumberman," who is at tha 'anuattan. "One of these compell ing was held a week or two ago in a smber em.ip In northern Michigan, nd the. first prize, consisting of ?r,)0, -us given.

They Inherit a Great Many of the Traits Of the Buffalo. Mr. C. J. rnuffalo") Jones, ot To peka, Kan., game warden of the Yel lowstone National Park, was In Wash ington lately to file his report with the Interior Department. Mr. Jones Is Interested in tho breed ing of "cattleoes," or the cross bo tween bulTalo and domestic cattle. Do mestic cattle have to be fed and boused (luring the long, cold winters of the northwest, but the "cattleoes" Inherit the traits of the buffalo In tho respect that they require no feeding or shelter in the Dakota winters, pawing up the snow and eating tho dry grass underneath. In the spring they fat tun rapidly on the young grass, and can be thus prepared for market at one-half the cost of cattle. Mr. Jones called on the President and showed him a robe taken from a "cattleo." The color Is black, with a beautiful reddit-h gray, lu places near ly white, shading on the back, and a black dorsal stripe. The under parts were pure white, so that tho robe lot d:ed very much ad if it were trim med with ermine. President Roosevelt grently admired the robe, and expressed the opinion that tho Government should by all means establish an experimental ranch for tho breeding of "cattleoes." In Ui()2 Congress appropriated $14.- 000 with which to establish a herd of domesticated buffalo at the Yellow stone. At the same time, Mr. Jones was placed In charge of the work, and as warden of the park he purchased twenty-one animals and placed them In the reservation, under fence. Al ready the herd has been increased to twenty-eight. "In addition to this herd," Mr. ,Tone3 said: "There are thirty-three wild buffalo in the park. I at first had an Idea of getting these animals In with the tame buffalo, but they are the wildest things I ever saw. The mo ment they see or smell a man they are o(T like a shot, and if captured would surely kill themselves in half an hour's time by their efforts to escape. Therefore, to protect these animals I am simply picking up their calves ns fast as they ore born and turning them in with tho tamo herd. 1 have thus far secured four wild calves in this way." Mr. Jones has been quite busy the past winter and fall months killing mountain lions, or pumas, of the Yel lowstone, which have become alto gether too numerous. lie had Ms pockets full of claws of these animals, which he kept, he said, na trophies of his pmna hunts. r.altlmore Sun. Mountain Gosts. From a point neatly 7,000 feet be low an observer with a good glass oc casionally may make out against the rock shelf a something which looks not unlike a white rabbit sitting upon its haunches. In reality it is au an cient Hilly, roughly speaking, as big as two fine rams and bearded like a prophet. His shaggy white coat knows neither spot nor curl, his daggerlike horns are ebon black and his topac ejes have In them that cold, Inscruta ble expression, something of which we see in the eyes of an eagle and a snake. They arc marvels, these thonght cencealing yellow eves. Perchance they kindle a more baleful light when love's lamp Hares and a snowy rival is Ftamping and snorting only ten yanis away. It may be they soften when a limber legged kid caroms Rgainst the paiernal ribs or rams his over-sized head liir::ug'i the paternal whisker. Hut these things I doubt, for the topaz itself Is not colder or more unchanging than the windows of the souls of a husky mountain Hilly. Hecause' he' knows, or " thinks he knows, that no enemy will come down upon him, all his precautions are di rected against possibilities from be low. I fancy, too, that he trusts al most to his eyes, that his nose lacks that wonderful keenness characteris tic of the deer tribo and that his ears play lltt.la part In the protective game. This latter is mainly surmise, based upon the fact that the worst noise a ft 1 11 hunter would be apt to make would be the rattle of a displaced f.tone, which Is a thiig the goats often hear and doubtless thoroughly under stand. When one's object of pursuit is an enimnl which dwells far up the moun tains, which keeps a prety close watch upon all visible lower territory, but seldom bothers its head ubout what may be going on above and behind, one's wisest plnn of campaign, natur ally, Is a flanking movement, followed by an attack from above.

INDIAN TCRRITORY SKUNKS. I Wealthy New Yorker Backs an In dustry for Their Fur. i Among the new Industries estno lished In the Indian Territory there are none more novel than the "skutiK farm" Just two miles southwest of Herbert. Tho Industry is backed by a wealthy New Yorker who has mnde a fortune in the fur trade, says the Kansas City Journal. This "farm," as it is called, consists of about twenty acres Inclosed with a stone wall five feet high, located along a rough mountain side with natural overhanging rocks being iwt ideal place for rattlesnakes and polecat dens. The neighborhood Is said to bo Infested with all kinds of reptiles, and by tho establishment of this skunk farm the promoters claim they will make money. "Tip" Lewis, who will have charge of the farm, is a noted hunter and trapper, and those who know him Ray he really enjoys the work of skinning polecats. He has made a livelihood of the work for twenty-two years, and now that a real breeding farm has been established, he Is assured of plenty of work In his ll.no. In conversation recently "Tip" had the following to say of the novel In dustry: "We propose to cross the breeds of polecats until we get them nil of one color, cither white or black, and by proper care we hope to en tirely get rid of the offensive odor. Every polecat carries a muck bag for protection and when tamed and cross ed with the civet cat they lose this weapon. Their fur can be Improved by cultivation and Interbreeding with other animals." When asked about the much adver tised "skunk oil," Mr. Lewis said: "I believe skunk oil will cure many Ills, such as rheumatism and other ail ments, but the musk, which Is so odo riferous and nffcvnslvc is a cure for al most any Ills flesh is heir to. It will keep away disease, and I believe it will cure consumption In the earlier stages." Mr. Lewis says that each polocat will raise from five to eight kittens every year, and he proposes to catch about 300 cats and kittens nnd place them on tl. ' farm. Fkunlc skins are now worth from 00 cents to $1.2.", and hy Improving the breed they hope to get double this price for the skins. Horsy Drips Out of Wall. The honey in tho wi ll of the home of Dr. C. H. Brooke, of Brooklyn, Anne Arundel County, Is still dripping. So far about three or four gallons have been caught In the pnas and buckets placed under the drip. About twelve years ngo Dr. Brooke erected on addition to his house and a swarm of bees bu'lt a i'St between tho walls, having found an opening. No atention was paid to them nt first, but they finally became a nuisance. They have stored nway great quanti ties of honey in combs, nnd In some inr.nner one of the combs must havo been punctured and the honey allowed to drip out. Thohoney is not being used In the family of Dr. Brooke, as it ban gathered dust nnd dirt in Its way out of the wall. Tho bees hnve been a great sourco of trouble to tho family of Dr. Brooke. At meal times they would swiirm out on the table and compel the diners to drive them away and kill numbers of them. The nuisance became so unbearable after a while that Dr. Brooke decided j to exterminate them. He has removed part of the wall and in so do'ng It Is ; thought that tho honeycombs were i punctured. Baltimore Sun. Vake Me Up When Klrby Dies. Your "Old Bowery Frequenter" In to-day's Press is quite right about tho origin of the saying "Wake me up when Kirby dies." It is over fifty years ago since "Tom" Hamblin was tho proprietor and likewise one of the principal actors In the old Bowery Theatre, New York. lie was noted for the spectacular and Intensely pa triotic plays which he produced for the benefit of the Bowery boys espe cially; plays abounding In patriotic speeches and "blood and thunder." Among his actors was one named Klr by, who was usually given a conspicu ous pare In said play. Kirby was great In the speeches I have mention ed, but his great forte was In tho last act, when after performing prodi gies of valor, he would wrap (he American flag around him, fire off two pistols and die all over the stage. These finales were great things for the boys, and If they felt drowsy during tho earlier part of the performance, as some of thehi were apt to be, they would carefully charge their com panions to "Wake me up when Kirby dies." This was the true origin of the well known saying. Letter In Philadel phia Press. Where They Differed. Barbour Lathrop, the champion talker of Bohemia, has left for the Ktist Indies.

Bottenus, a Cincinnati boy, who Is engaged In mining In Peru, tells of his recent explorations of an unknown part of that country's Inte rior. Leaving the Santa Domingo mine. In the heart of the eastern slope of the Andes range, the pnrty started, under Mr. Bot.enus's command, to find a forest of rubber trees for tho company's exploitation. Mr. Bottenus writes: "Our pnrty consisted of myself, five other while men, three Peruvians and ten Indian qnlpc res. Nine of us were armed with carbines and slxshoolers. As we expected, In view of my experi ence In the Inst expedition, to encount er hostile savag 's. It was noccssarv to keep our pnrty intact and alao carry our supplies with us. Since we had some .1,000 poun h of provisions, you can imagine to transport these on our backs over a rough country was not easy. Our f.rst task was to ford a river. That sime day we killed a cou' le of monk' ys big fellows, which i would Hand threo foot high and : tome pheasants, and also dynamited some fish In the river. The monkeys i we gave to the Indians, who, after I once tasting them, nte them with great I gusto. It Is ml her hard for a white I man to e.ioy a repast of monkey st"w, I unless he becomes very hungry, when, without n doubt. It Is most palatable. The taste of the moat Is not nt all bad, but after t!;i.nnlng them the mon kys look so much like human babies that one scruples ns to whether or not he Is practising cannibalism. "Alter geting down seven miles we ran across another big river, which 1 afterward named the 'Surprise River., We were surprised a day ufti r our ar rival on tho river by a visit from the Chunchos, or native savage. We ex pected to (i.ntl them hostile, hut found them to be friendly In the extreme. They are armed with bows anil ar rows, these being from four to seven feet long, varying In size for hoys nnd men. The workmanship on the arrows Is very neat, especially when one con siders that the only tools which they have are such as they can fashion from rocks. They nre very skilful with the bow nnd arrow at a distance of twenty-five or forty yards. They shoot their game, their fish, even tigers, with these weapon1;. The ar rows do not weight four ounces and are constructed of nothing but wood, the Fhaft being a light hamboo and the head bing a species of 'palmetto' called 'ehunta.' Their clothes are a very pronounced decollete; all that the men wear Is a sleeveless shirt coming below tho loins, the same be ing made from the bark of a tree. The women are not nearly so well pro vided for, wearing g"nerally but a small loin cloth. We bail taken the precaution to bring some gaudy arti cles as presents with us, In the shppo of gewgaws of many descriptions, which we distributer, but they gave us to nnder:-tand by means of signs what they would particularly like v.TF an ax, a machete, or knives, or ar ticles of any kind that would cut. Smart Sayings to Order. "There are lots at people who are naturally quick nnd witty In ordinary rorversutlon, but the man who can be bo'.h at a gathering Is not as numer ous ns you nay think," said a man nt a dinner uptown n few nights ago. "I was a.sked a few days ago to come here and say something. I am not a speaker, either before, a;, or after the feist. I said so to the man who urged me to come. Then he told me that if I wanted to say anything, and didn't feel quite up to the job, as he put It, he could put me on to n man who mnde such things a business. I was curious to know more, ami asked the committeeman who the manufacturer of and dealer In wit was. He said to mo, 'I'll call him right here,' nnd he did. Then I realized that what the man had said to me was dead earnest. After he had got the 'dealer' on the 'phone, nnd told him what he wanted, he turned to mo and said, 'He wants to know if you want to talk In prose or doggerel, or if you want some Jokes, and whether you want the Jokes on the raw, or something that would do for a lady's party?' "Then I quit. I would not havo believed that If it had been told as a Btery. And I am sorry enough about It, for every time anybody has said anything smart or funnv here to-ntL'ht I have wondered whether it wns man- I ufnetured or genuine. Some of It wa.i ; genuine, of course, for It was apropos, but some of the Baylngs, I am satisfied ! had been hammered out by the Joke- i smith." "Kill More Pigs."

European Buyers Arc Wailing lor Rush ol Product to American Markets. As wheat prices go down it mav be expected that the tide of experts wi'.l rise. European buyers have been fully advised that this country and Manitoba will have a large sur plus for export, and thus far since the crop year began they have been disposed to await the effect of the completed harvests and the early rush of receipts upon American markets. Domestic values are now very near the point where they should stimulate more active foreign buy ing. The crop is large, but the growers are more prosperous than ever before, and therefore less anx ious to hurry their wheat to market unless they can get a fair price for it.
