Moving 75-Foot Palm
For more than thirty years a giant
palm tree stood guard before the en- ’
trance of the old Southern Pacific rail- :
way station at Los Angeles. A new
building was erected on the old site
and popular sentiment demanded that
the tree be saved, although the rail
way people had determined to chop it
down. The wrecking train used by
the railway was finally put to work
and the big tree was hoisted aboard
a car and sent to the exposition
grounds, where it remained the rest
of its days. It was the second time
it had been moved, as it originally
took root beside the harbor 20 miles
from the city. It was brought to its
second home when that part of the
country was part of e ranch.

AGED TEXAN TELLS
OF BUFFALO HUNTS
Vast Herds of Animals
Roamed the Plains.
Tahoka, Texan —Frank M. Sherrod I
of Tahoka is one of the few men still
living who hunted buffaloes for their
meat in the 70’s. His first trip to the
plains region of northwestern Texas
on a buffalo hunting expedition was
before the wholesale slaughter of the
animals for their hides began. As a
means of preserving Mr. Sherrod’s
reminiscences of pioneer days, J. E.
Haley, field representative of the
Panhandle-Plains Historical society,
visited Sherrod a few days ago and
obtained from him an account of his
buffalo hunting experiences. One of
the interesting statements made by
Mr. Sherrod was that in 1875 buffaloes
were killed In great numbers for their
tongues, considered a great delicacy.
His First Buffalo Hunt.
“I was just a boy and was out here
on the buffalo range In 1874 and
1875,” he said. "I was seventeen years
old when I came out the first time.
We came out from Brown county,
about 200 miles to the east, and there
were only five of us. We hunted for
meat. That year you could see 200
and 300 coyotes in a bunch, but the
second year these animals were
thinned out. There were many men
buffalo hunting, who killed the
coyotes for their skin.
“We really came a lot further out
than necessary to kill the buffaloes
but we had lots of fun. There were
tens of thousands of buffaloes every
where. When we got tired of one
place we would move to another. We
made houses of poles, covered with
buffalo hides, lined and floored with
the same. The second winter we came
out here there were thirty-two of as
from Brown county, and T killed 305
buffalo that winter myself. I didn’t
do anything but hunt.
“The first winter we loaded our
wagons with meat. We took year
lings and two year olds and dried their
hams whole. We brought a wash
kettle along with us and rendered up
thirty-two kettles of full marrow and
tallow. This got so hard that you
could throw it around like a chunk
of wood. We would take an ax, break
the bones and then scrape the mar
r»w out. The marrow and tallow
were used for cooking, making soap
and the like.
“We killed enough buffaloes to fur
nish the people of Brown county with
meat all the next year. Twelve months
afterwards the meat would be as hard
as a stove on the outside, but good
and fresh when cut into. We didn’t
salt our meat. The majority of the'
meat we cut In big chunks, as large
as a ten pound bucket, and dried.
Same of it we carried back in the
whole hams. -
“In killing the buffaloes we used
needle guns and It cost us five cents
a shot. We met two fellows up on
the head of the Colorado river the
second year who had been out two
months and hadn’t killed a buffalo.
They had these ‘citizens’ rifles and
traded us some tobacco to kill some
buffaloes for them. We went out and
killed about fifteen for them.
No Trouble With Indians.
“There were lots of Indians the'
first year. We left our camp many
times and would look back and see
the Indians sitting on the tops of our
wagons and moving around our camp.
They never would bother anything ex
cept something to eat or our mules.
We had to guard the mules every
night. Many a night we have gone
off Into a thicket without mules, and
the Indians would come into camp
and pass all around us. There were
more Indians over in Crosby county
than around Tahoka lake. We never
did have a fight with them, as they
never did bother us. Lots of times
we would ride around a point and
meet a bunch of Indians face to face.
We would both stop, and in a minute
the Indian behind would turn his
horse and then all would turn and
ride back the way they bad come.
“Wo never bothered with the buf
falo hides in 1874 except to throw a
few on top of our meat when we
started back. There was a spring at
Tahoka lake, but no water in the
plains lakes then.
“The second winter there were hun
dreds of men killing for hides.
“We drove ox teams in 1875 and
must have had about fifteen wagons
that year. There was an outfit from
Fort Worth on the Colorado river
which was killing just for the tongues.
They said they were worth fifty cents
In Fort Worth. They would kill the
buffaloes, cut out the tongues and
leave the rest lying there. We were
gone on the trip about six months
and a half.”

WOMEN BARRED ON
“PARADISE ISLAND”
“No Money, No Trouble" in
Restful South Seas.
San Francisco, Calif. —Nine willing
I Robinson Crusoes, who, though young,
are weary of the turmoil of cities and
the babble of women, are here prepar
ing to colonize a new "Paradise Is
land’’ in the South Seas.
“No trouble and no women; no
money and nobody to ask you for
any,” is their motto.
The Intended home of the self-ap
pointed castaways is Santa Maria Is
land, lovely bit of land exactly on the
equator in the Galapagos group.
The men are the crew of the Ecua
dorian auxiliary schooner Floreana, at
present docked here, who own their
own ship, and, as members of “La
Colonia de Floreana,” are owners of
the modern prototype of Robinson
Crusoe’s home on Juan Fernandez is
land.
No ordinary sailors are they, but
philosophers, every one. One is an
accountant, another an author. A for
mer associate in the enterprise, who
later deserted, was a scholar and uni
versity graduate. All are from Nor
way.
Each man has his particular reason
for fleeing from the society of women.
Three of the Floreana are divorced.
Two are married and separated from
ill-natured or unfaithful wives. The
others of the company admit they are
“disappointed men.”
Then there are 21 men, ranging in
ages down to eighteen years. Thirteen
of them were left on Santa Marla Is
land before the Floreana came to San
Francisco a month ago.
Capt. August Christensen, forty-five,
and Capt. Anton Stub, fifty-one, mar
iners, are the leaders and the eldest
of the colony.
They have, of course, the intention
of colonizing their Island with addi
tional people eventually and reaping
fortunes In tilling its fertile soil. They
also contemplate fishing and whaling
enterprises in the populous tropical
waters of the vicinity.
The islet was selected by the adven
turers first, because the Ecuadorian
government, which owns the 41 islands
of the Galapagos, granted them the
land, and second, because of its ro
mantic history and isolation.
Centuries ago, Santa Maria was
Charlie’s island, refuge of Pacific buc
caneers. Only one island of the Gala
pagos is now inhabited. It is 50 miles
from the Crusoes’ home.
Find $2,000,000 “Rose”
Diamond; Arrest Two
Paris. —The famous rose diamond,
■ known as the “Grand Conde," stolen
from the gem tower in the chateau of
! the Duc d’Aumale in Chantilly early
in October, has been recovered.
[ The famous gem was found In a
; valise, the stone wrapped carefully in
cotton. Two of the alleged thieves,
s Leon Kaulfer and Emile Souter, who
। crossed a flooded moat and climbed
into the gem tower on a ladder, were
arrested and are reported to have
1 confessed.
Two fences, who sold a fortune in
smaller jewels which also were stolen,
were arrested. Other accomplices are
. sought. The thieves got only 30.000
fraftcs (about $1,200). They threw
, settings, some of which were of great
value, into the Seine and sold the
stones to unsuspecting reputable jew
elers.
The mystery was cleared because
Kaulfer talked too much. One of his
lapses from caution was promptly re
ported to the police. He was shad
, owed for several weeks, and finally
, connected with the robbery and ar
rested.
Find Way to Grow
Hair on Bald Mice
Taunton, England.—Bald mice have
been made to grow hair in experi
ments designed to discover a cure for
baldness among humans.
To grow hair on mice is easy, sci
entists explain, but the trick was to
make the mice bald.
Dr. F. A. E. Crew, principal of the
animal breeding institute of the Edin
burgh university, discovered that mice
may be made to shed their coats by
extracting certain gland substances.
Doctor Crew also says that by ex
tracting a substance from normal mice
and grafting it on the bald ones, he
has been able to promote the growth
of the coat again completely or par
tially, according to the amount ap
plied. ,
The experiments are being con
tinued with a view of ascertainiag If
human baldness may not be due to
the same glandular deficiency, and
therefore curable in a similar way.

WILD WOMAN FOUND
FROZEN TO DEATH
Roamed Michigan Woods
for Fifty Years.
Calumet, Mich.—Old Maggie Har
rington, forest wanderer, was found
frozen to death, eight miles from her
dilapidated old cabin near the old
Central mine in Copper country,
northern Michigan, recently.
She was seventy years old. For
the last fifty years Maggie has roamed
the forests, fearless of man or beast,
at all times of the day or night, as
wild as the gray wolf and as harmless
as the deer.
Subsisting upon raw and uncooked
foods and wild berries, with clothing
enough only to decently cover her —
no stockings, mittens and no hat, she
wandered many miles through the
dense forests from one camp to the
other and often crouched in the cor
ner of a deserted cabin for the night,
away from the howling wolves and
sheltered from the bitter north winds
when the weather was far below zero.
At daybreak she would walk another
ten or fifteen miles back to her own
stoveless shack, or go on many miles
in another direction to some miner’s
cabin for a cupful of coffee.
Wild Woman’s Home.
Her old tumbled-down cabin at Cen
tral mine, with windows stuffed with
old papers or potato bags, its pile of
ashes in the middle of the floor, where
the old rusty stove had long since
fallen apart, the chairs and kitchen
table decayed where they stood, and
in the corner of the bare room a pile
of dirty rags which served her as
sleeping quarters for these many years.
She was often seen by tourists as
they drove along the northern high
way, but she managed to get into the
forest before they reached her.
Maggie had one ride in an auto
and that was four years ago when she
had an infected foet. That ride took
her twenty-five miles to Calumet for
treatment.
She was intelligent and had a com
mon school education, and her mothar
was noted among the old neighbors
as a splendid housekeeper, clean and
orderly.
Retained Keen Mind.
Maggie had degenerated in the mat
ter of clothing and way of living only;
her mind was keen, and what stories
she could tell of the wild things she
knew so well.
Whatever transpired in the life of
this strange woman to change her
from a shy, sheltered, golden-haired,
beautiful girl as sho was fifty years
ago at the time her mother died, into
a silent hermit of the great forests,
no one can say. She kept her own
council —shared confidences with none
and died with her secret on her frozen
lips.
Old Maggie was buried at Eagle
Harbor near the spot where she stood
over the little grave fifty years ago
and cursed the fate that had robbed
her of the mother she idolized, and
changed her into a wild woman of the
great Michigan forests at one stroke.
“Trench Mouth” Attacks
Thousands at Trenton
Trenton, N. J.—An epidemic of
“trench mouth,” a gum infection tech
nically called Vincent’s disease, has
spread through Trenton in the last
few days. The malady, which Is trace
able to the World war and transmit

ed several thousands, Trenton dentists
deciare.
Nearby places also are troubled. At
the Skillman epileptic village, a state
institution, the malady has been so
general that physicians were called
to launch a fight against it.
“Stop kissing” is the word passed
out by the health department in an
effort to combat the malady.
The doctors declared the disease
was rare in the United States before
the war. They say it was brougiit
back by the American Expeditionary
forces.
