indicate Mr. Goodnight came to Texas from
111e Northern State. \Viten the war broke
out he said he couldn't fight against his
kind, but ho would go on the frontier and
help keep the Indians back. H° became
one of 1110 rangers with "Sul" Ross. He
was in and through that long, hard cam-
paign of years aggainst the Comanolles.
This Panhandle country 11'00 the natural
home of the buffalo. Fiero the buffalo bred.
From here the herds went forth in north of
new pasture. Back here the remnants drift-
ed before the storms of winter and found
refuge till spring. When the plains of
Colorado and farther north bad been swept
by the hunter who slaughtered for robes,
there were still b3Oglo ho the Panhandle
country. And when the cattlemen cane in
es the Comanches went out of this favored
region, there were still small horde of
buffalo on theca plans. A 1)111)10 calf or
two strayed into the herds of cattle and
grew up in civilized oompauy. :This was the
fonudation of the butialo business with Mr.
Goodnight. He gave the stray calf, the last
of a noble race, a welcome to his roundup.
Ile found company of his kind for slim. Ito
added to this beginning from various
sources. When fence(' pastures took the
place of the wild free range, Mr. Good-
night gave his bnfildoes the place of honor
near ranch headquarters. Thus fostered,
the herd has grown on its native heath un-
til it is the finest and largest collection in
existence,
The buffido ohoso his home well. There
is something in climate which encourages the
highest degree of health in the 00W mute on
these plains.
There were thousands of antelope in the
Panhandle when dir. Goodnight first estab-
lished himself here. But antelope steak is
good. And as the buffalo disappeared the
antelope became scarce. Mr. Goodnight
came by his cotyledon of antelopes in the
most natural manner. When he ran the
wires around his great pastures he actually
fenced in little benches of wild antelope
with his cattle. The antelope will not at-
tempt to go over or through a wire fence.

The elk are inolinod to jump. It takes
more than the ordinary fence of throe or

About the elk pasture Mr. Goodnight ;has
drawn thirteen wires. But this makes a
ferule that will keep wolves and dogs out
as well as elk in. " Elk rather lino to

A Dog's Devotion.
The character of dogs is as variable as
that of mon. As an offset to the cases, not
infrequent, in which dogs have rewarded
the most indulgent care by running away
and attaching themselves to Ammo totally
unworthy stranger, there aro cases, very
likely more fro 1110311, in whioh dogs have
0aerifieed ease, comfort, and attendance to
live in want with some poor and not 0V01"

end told a pitiful story concerning 1t. It
had belonged to a travelling mountebank,
and had been run over by a carriage. Its
leg was broken, no that it could not walk,
and the mountebank, who had his wife and
little daughter with him, could not carry
the wounded dog. He had begged Peter,
who was a wetness of the accident, to take
it home and care for it, midi he, the mount's -
honk could return that way, which, he skid,
would be in about three months ; and he
promised to pay for the dog's board ab the

Scientific Vocalization.
"Ministers' sore throat" is a term of
common speech. Its %vide use shows how
common are 01Tootions of the throne among
clergymen. Sir Morell Mackenzie, in his
wellknownwork on the throat devotes a
chapter to their consideration.
Muth of the throat trouble common to
actors, clergymen, teachers and the like is
aggravated and kept up, if toot actually
caused, by an irnpreper method of using tide
organ of vocalization, especially of the deli-
cate though powerful muscles of voice -pro.

Public speaking requires special training
for its successful performance, It differs as

does from walking, or os Skilled oarsmanship
does from paddling. An overstrained 00100
gives to 118 owner not only a s0110e of mental
and physical depression, but ac1,1al discom-
fort or pain in oho region of the larynx.
Aside from the courses of rileterio and

At recent meeting of the Association of
Brutish Laryngologists it was recommended
by one of its members that a suggestion to
educational governing bodies be made to the
effect that "a apeotal ()ourse of scientific
vocalization, quite apart foam elocutionary
or other rhetorical enb011lehin0nt0, would
be invaluable to most melt preparing for
public life." Such a recommendation would
boar the stamp of sincerity and unselfish-
ness, it leer thought, since instruction of the
sort proposed would deprive the 'numbers
of the asoocietion of 211311y patients.

In the kennels are dogs of nearly every

shown a preference, and this accouuts for'
the number kept at Windsor. The Princess -

fox terriers, which are also 10)11 reproeented.
