Last Buffalo for Kansas Christinas The last buffalo soon will tickle the palate of Medicine Lodge's epicureans. Even now the shaggy monarch is being fattened for slaughter at Christmas. It is from Frank Rockefeller's herd, which for years has enjoyed an undisturbed reign on the ranch near Belvidere. Last week the few remaining animals of the herd were sold; the last o te of the lot to a Medicine Lodge butcher. When his majesty of the plains was on the wane Mr. Rockefeller gathered a herd to perpetuate the breed.

Having drunk, he counted put three nickles upon the bar and prepared to depart. "Hold on, please," s^id the gentlemanly attendant; "the price is 25 cents." "What talk have you?" demanded the patron. "Why, I can get the same brand of licker anywhere on Tenth avenue for 15 cents." "Probably so," explained the barkeeper, "but you see we do not charge for the whiskey alone. We have to charge for all these decorations?for the hangings at the windows, and the furnishings, and the pictures on the walls. That picture yonder cost $10,000. That's why we have to ask you a quarter for a drink, see?" "I see," said the man, staring about him, and out he went. The next day he returned.
