A pretty little gazeile, which he
had recently captured and tamed,

"Fint~!" entlitisiastictilly exclaimed the
boy. "I sliull triktr ii. snapshot of the bllffiilii rolie oi` tllit- btif'i’tilo."
All hnptiticnt was Photo for the hunt
to conniieiice. And when the mighty liuiitcr lcd the way toward the water- courso along which a herd of buffalo WHS l`\fi"iUi‘tctl to have been bathing and Wllllvlvlllrr the boy was mad with ex- ctlenient. Slltiging his trusty kodak over his arni, he i-ode by t'lio side of his futlicr.
Very shortly the buffuloes were
sighted and llivanzi. Iluiiipto trotted his horse forwanl in order thttt he might Qllilllgc the lui‘i§est und most ferocioiis biill_ A heavy, black fellow he wus, with iniissivt- horns nearly covering the skull and curling and tapering from the broad base, their length covering 51. must six feet.
Bwnnri Tlumpto coolly raised his rifle,
took t':it'ct`iii aim and fired. Then Photo Huinpto took fi snupsliot, feeling sure trio aiiliiitil must ho killed.

As the native ran forivartl to, sprur the biiffulo, wliicli luy tiinuiii: the rot-ds, :ip- pzirently wountletl to tleutli, thc savage beast stuggcretl to his feet anti rushed iowzirtl the Iiitiek.

"Buffaloes do lore and bore.
And they nln you to the floor;
Watch the anizry buffaloes-
Do not trend upon their toes."
Bwunn Ilumpto fired. Then Photo
Huinpto took a snapshot. Of course, the buffalo was dead.
"I do not like these narrow e c "
said Bwtinzi lltimpto. “So many élarlliririfztlls seem wtiuiidt-tl, when they really are not, that I think we should have somo- thlng to warn us." ,
Now. Photo was a. quick-witted lad.

0 like very much to walk through
q churchyard at night all by him-
self: so I am sure there are not many boys who would cars to do so. There is really nothing to be afraid of, but then, you see, it is so quiet and dark that peo- ple imagine all sorts of thlnll. Here ll it droll little story about something that happened in s churchyard one night:
The Mayor of a little town was irolnl
home very late. and he thought ho would go through the churchyard, as if wsu-i the nearest way.
Now, there was a man sitting down
in the churchyard. and when he heard. the Mayor coming he said to himself: "I don’t know who this ls. but I will l y a tri it." 8 h ere t up very liyly gelliind tlse Magore ant? Jumped rllht upon his back. he Mayor was lo lur- prised that he nearly Jumlped right out of his skin.< In a remblng voice he said: “Do you know who I am. sir? I am the Mayor!"
But the Joker replied: "I don't care!
Mayor or horse, I'li have a. ride!" And he stuck to the Mayor, and the Mayor had to carry him until they were out of the churchyard.
