In 1.-THE Wilderness Hunter" Theo-
1ore Roosevelt says that as a rule no
body displays much curiosity about
other peoples antccedents In the far
west; but on one occasion MIR Roose-

strange hunter staying there, and
asked his foreman who was this new.

tom OF the country
My foreman, who had large way Of
looking at questions Of foreign eth
nology and geography, responded with
Indifference:
"Oh, he's kind Of a Dutchman; but
he hates the other Dutch mortal. Hes
from an island Germany took from
France in the last war"
This seemed puzzling; but II turned
ont that the island" In question was
Alsace.
Native Americans predominant
among the jewellers on the borders Of
the wilderness, and In the wild coun.
try over which the great herds OF the
cattlemen roam, and they take the
lead in every way The sons of the
Germans, Irish and other European
newcomers are usually quick to claim
to be straight United States" and to
disavow all kinship with the fellow
countrymcn Of their fathers.
Once, while with hunter bearing a
German name, we came by chance on
German hunting-party from one Of
the eastern cities. One of them re-
marked to my companion that he must
be part German himself, TO which he
cheerfully answered:
We'll, my father was n Dutchman,
but my mother was white womanl
I'm pretty white myself" whereat the
Germans glowered at him gloomily.

clerk was adamant--ho would sell
small dose of belladonna to no one he

write n prescription for himself, but
his proposal was scorned. Then the
doctor said he would take bottle of
elixir Of opium, and though the clerk
was 'rilcd" there was nothing for him
TO do but sell II, OF course there was
enough Of II To kill a dozen people. A.
day or two after that woman who IL

even then had She light of madness In

cary shop and with no difficulty at all
bought an ounce bottle of morphine.

morphine she was taken TO n
hospital and n dozen people made

fuss about. A woman who is con-
firmed victim Of opium buysan elixir
as her regular standby, and her family
are helpless, because anyone will sell
IL TO her. Another gets an arsenical
pill In boxes as IL comes from the
maker. A man, not being subject To
the searches usually practiccd on the
feminine victim by her family, con-
stantly gets his morphine in the orig
inal ounce bottles and says he has
never had his right to do so questioned.
