SHOWED WHERE HIS MIND WAS
Uncle Billy’s Question Proved That
Sick Horse Was Uppermost in
His Thoughts.
“William,” said Aunt Ann Skiles to
her husband, after the supper dishes
had been cleared away, “let’s go and
hear the lecture to-night.” Uncle Billy
had forgotten that there was a lecture,
and when he was reminded that a re-
turned missionary was going to tell all
about India at the church he did not
seem over-enthusiastic.
“I oughtn’t to go anywhere to-
night!” grumbled Uncle Billy. “I ought
to be doctoring my sick horse.”
“Well, you’re not doing it, and
you’re not likely to do it. Get ready
and go.”
Uncle Billy meekly obeyed. He sat
patiently through the lecture, which
was both interesting and profitable.
At the close of his discourse the re-
turned missionary said:
“I will Avait a few minutes now for
the purpose of answering any ques-
tions that interested persons in the
audience may wrish to ask.”
For half a minute nobody spoke.
Then, to the horror of Aunt Ann and
the astonishment of the congregation,
Uncle Billy leaned forward and asked:
“What do they use in India to cure
horses that have got the heaves?”—

A Gift to Bryn Mawr.
Miss Cynthia M, Wesson of Spring-
field, Mass., has given $7,000 to Bryn
Mawr college. Miss Wesson, who was
graduated from Bryn Mawr in 1909,
was prominent in the athletic affairs
of the institution, and her gift is to
be expended toward the betterment of
the swimming pool. All undergrad-
uates are required to qualify as swim-
mers, as the exercise is one of the
most popular of the college sports.

HIM
HEAD OF AH ADULT BULL
r T IS probable that during the
1 present session of congress there
m be a reneival of the effort to have
| the national government estab-
■M. lish and maintain a herd of
American bison, or buffaloes, as
the nucleus for the preservation of
this picturesque native animal, which
is in such grave danger of extinction.
The wanton slaughter of the buffalo
during the previous generations has
reduced the number of these animals
running wild to less than 25, most of
which are roaming in Yellowstone
park, whereas 25 or 35 years ago
there were millions of bison grazing
on the plains of the west. Practically
all of the bison in existence, estimated
at a feAV more than 1,700, are now
owned by private individuals, except
those owned by the national park at
Banff, the few in Yellowstone park
and those in various zoological gar-
dens.
According to the census of living
American bison, compiled by William
T. Hornaday, director of the New
York zoological park and president of
the American Bison society, there was
on January 1, 1908, a total of 1,722
bison in captivity, of which 1,116 were
in the United States, 476 in Canada
and 130 in Europe, besides about 300
wild bison in Canada and 25 in the
United States. Most of these animals
are under the control of 45 private
owners in the United States and 19 in
Europe. During the five years from
1903 to 1908 there was a total net in-
crease of 603 head, which number has
been somewhat augmented during the
last two years.
It is conceded, practically by all au-
thorities that, owing to the uncertain-
Baynes of Meriden, N. H., secretary
and Clark Williams of New York
treasurer.
The purposes of the society are out-
lined in the following extracts from
Baynes of Meriden, N. H., secretary,
Ernest Harold Baynes:
“The American Bison society was
organized in the strong belief that the
people desired to have the buffalo pre-
served and that they would give their
support to a body of men able and
willing to work indefatigably for its
preservation.
“The five or six million buffalo
Avhich less than 35 years ago caused
the western plains to tremble beneath
their hoofs and which constituted one
of the wonders of the world have van-
ished and there remain to represent
them some six or seven hundred head,
exclusive of those in the zoological
gardens, which do not count when we
come to the question of the preserva-
tion of the species. Most of these are
in a few widely scattered bunches,
only two of Avhich, the Corbin herd at
Newport, N. H„ and the Pablo herd on
the Flathead Indian reservation, Mon-
tana, contain over 100 head. Of this
little remnant of the once mighty
hosts not a single animal is safe; ev-
ery owner in the country is willing
and some very anxious to sell and I
doubt if there is a herd in the coun-
try which would not be sold to-mor-
row morning if a customer appeared
with the money. In the large herds
there is another menace to the race—
contagious disease, to several forms
of which the buffalo is subject, though
less so than domestic cattle. If tu-
berculosis or the hoof and mouth dis-
ease should attack one of the three or

BUFFALO COW AHP CALF
ties of human life and the changes in
fortune and in policy among private
individuals and private corporations,
the buffalo cannot be perpetuated for
centuries and preserved from ultimate
extinction save under government
auspices. At present nearly all the
buffaloes in the United States are in
private hands and with few exceptions
are for sale to anyone offering a rea-
sonable price. Many are sold every
year, some for propagating purposes
and others to the butcher and taxider-
mist. Moreover, most of them are in
a feAV comparatively large herds and
should contagious disease at any time
strike one of these, so great a per-
centage of the now remaining buffa-
loes might be wiped out at one blow
as to make the perpetuation- of the re-
mainder practically an impossibility.
The national movement for the per-
manent preservation of the buffalo be-
gan in June, 1904, when Ernest Harold
Baynes went to live on the border of
the Corbin game preserve in New
Hampshire, which, strange as it may
seem to those accustomed to think of
the west as the sole habitat of the
buffalo, has for many years been the
home of one of the largest herds of
buffaloes in the world. Mr. Baynes
became deeply interested in these
splendid creatures and in the fate of
their race and soon sought to arouse
public interest in the matter. Presi-
dent Roosevelt took immediate and
active Interest in the subject. As a
result the movement took form on De-
cember 8, 1995, when the American
Bison society was organized in New
York City. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
was made honorary president, Wiliiam
T. Hornada / president. Ernest Harold
four comparatively large bunches, the
fate of the buffalo might, be sealed
then and there,-as even noAV the num-
ber of herds is so small that it will
probably requi, „ careful management
to prevent excessive inbreeding.
“But there are good economic rea-
sons why this animal should be saved
and allowed to increase in numbers.
Shorn of all sentiment and as he
stands on his hoofs he is the most val-
uable native animal in this country;
kill him and there is no domestic ani-
mal in America whose carcass will
bring as much in dollars and cents.
The meat is as good as domestic beef
and some parts of it rather better,
while the hide alone will sell for mon-
ey enough to purchase three or four
good cows. A fine head is worth much
more and although the value of heads
would probably decrease as buffaloes
became more numerous, there would
always be a good market for the skins,
as for many purposes we have nothing
quite so good.
“Then the buffalo has wool almost
as thick as that of the sheep. Natu-
rally there is much more of it and
while it is coarser than sheep’s woo!
it can be woven into very warm and
useful garments.
“Let every man, woman and child
who has love or sympathy for Ameri-
can animals join hands in saving for
the country the grandest of them all.
Although on the brink of extermina-
tion, this rugged and typically Ameri-
can character must be saved; it can
he saved and, with the support of the
people, the American Bison society
is prepared to do the work which will
be necessary to save it.”
CONVICT IN SING SING
IS HEIR TO 11,000,000
J. EDWARD BOECK, FRIEND OF
CHINESE EMPRESS, TO GET
MISER’S HOARD.
New York.—J. Edward Boeck, who
Is serving a sentence of seven years in
Sing Sing for a jewelry sAvindle in
1907, is perhaps the only heir to more
than $1,000,000 left by his uncle, J. C.
Lounsberry of St. Paul, who died there
recently amid squalid surroundings.
Lounsberry was thought by his neigh-
bors to be very poor, but when his
effects were searched it was found
that he had securities and bonds repre-
senting a fortune.
The first intimation that Boeck was
related to Lounsberry was when a mes-
sage signed “Louisa C. Boeck,” Boeck’s
4
Pf
Dined with the Chinese Empress.
wife, was found among the miser’s
effects. It read:
“Won’t you go security for Eddie?
Cash not required, only security. If
you can’t furnish all will you furnish
part? Have hope of winning if this
could be arranged.”
The message was dated April 18,
1908, a few weeks after Boeck had
been brought back from San Francisco.
He was caught a year after his swin-
dling operations among NeAV York jew-
elry firms and art dealers. • His bail
was fixed at $25,000 when he was held
for trial.
He posed as a friend of royalty, had
traveled extensively, and is well edu-
cated. He was an art connoisseur and
jewel expert, and numbered among his
acquaintances J. Pierpont Morgan, ex-
Senator W. A. Clark, members of the
Guggenheim family and other wealthy
men.
He had been in China for years, and
Prince Li Lun was one of his personal
acquaintances. Ih many instances
Boeck had acted as a special agent for
the Chinese government in transac-
tions here.
He is tall and good looking, and
through his acquaintance with promi-
nent men he was introduced into so-
ciety and became the confidential
broker of many wealthy women. He
both spoke and wrote Chinese, and
was familiar with Chinese porcelains,
antiques, bronzes and other works of
art. He had dined Avith the Chinese
empress and was able to tell of the
magnificence of the art works in the
palace in Peking.
Rated as Al, Boeck secured jewels
on memorandum, and then disap-
peared. Ludwig Nilsen & Co. of 182
Broadway, and E. W. Drayton, jew-
eler and antiquarian, at 4 West Thirty-
ninth street, were the chief victims.
Between them they lost more than
$50,000. It is known that he had many
other victims among jeAvelry firms,
and that Avhen he fled he had obtained
nearly a quarter of a million dollars’
worth of jewels on credit. He went
to China, remained there nearly a
year, and then ventured back to San
Francisco, where he Avas caught.
His attorney at the time was Jacob
Marx of 10 Wall street. “It looks as
though Boeck is the sole heir to Louns-
berry’s millions,” said Mr. Marx. “I
am going to Sing Sing to see him, and
apprise him of the death of the uncle,
if he has not yet learned of it. While
I have not yet any official notifica-
tion of a will, I learn indirectly that
Boeck is the only heir to his uncle’s
wealth.”
Among other messages found in
Lounsberry’s effects was a telegram
from the law firm of Marsh, Wever &
Wemple of 111 Broadway. It was also
an appeal to Lounsberry to furnish
the $25,000 bail for Boeck while he Avas
awaiting trial.
Mr. Wever of the firm said he did
not act directly on the case, but that
the telegram was sent at the instance
ef Mrs. Boeck, who came to him from
Boeck’s lawyer, Marx. The appeal to
Lounsberry was In vain, for Boeck
was compel’ed to remain in jail until
ais trial and conviction. At that time
Boeck gave his address as Stamford,
Conn. His wife is now believed to
be in Tamaqua, Pa.
Cost of Living in Mexico.
Everywhere, as populations grow,
there is the cry of the higher cost of-
living. Because ours is comparatively
virgin soil as yet, the cost is higher
and the cry louder in nearly all other
countries that have come far past
barbarism, reclaimed their untilled
lands and cleared forests. In Mexico,
where rents have doubled, all prices
ire higher than in the United States,
vith wages nowhere near the level
/inch has been attained here.

The beautiful home was crowded
with people assembled to honor the

But the explorer soon tired of the
attentions, and as he leaned his arm
against a pillar, he allowed himself to
be transported back to the scene of

“Such a waste,” he mumbled,' au-
dibly, staring into space, “such a waste,
such a waste.”
