President Roosevelt's Mid Winter Hunting
in the Rockies.

In mid-winter, hunting on horse
back in the Rockies is apt to be cold
work, but we were too warmly clad to
mind the weather. We wore heavy
fannels, jackets lined with sheepskin,
caps which drew down entirely over our
ears, and on our feet heavy ordinary
socks. German socks, and overshoes.
GallopiDg through the brush and a.
mong the spikes of the dead cedars.

ged; found tough overalls better than
trousers; and most of the time did not
need the jacket, wearing my old buck
skin shirt, which is to my mind a par
ticularly useful and comfortable gar
ment.
1t is high, dry country. where the
winters are usually very cold, but the
snow not under ordinary circumstances
very deep. 1t is wild and broken in
character, the hills and low mountains
rising in sheer slopes, broken by cliffs
and riven by deeply cut and gloomy
gorges and ravines. The sage. br Ish
grows everywhere upon the flats and
hillsides. Large open groves of pinyon
and cedar are scattered over the peaks,
ridges and tableIands. Tall sprucos
cluster in the cold ravines. Cotton
woods grow along the stream courses.
and there are occasional patches of
scrub-oak and quaking asp. The en-
tire country is taken up with cattle
ranges wherever it is possible to get
sufficient water-supply, natural or art,
fetal. Some thirty miles to the east
and north the mountains rise Eigher,
the evergreen forest becomes contiDu
Gus. the SHOW lies deep all through tn
winter, and such northern animals as
the wolverine, lucivee, and snow-shOe
rabbit are found. This high country
is the summer home OF the Colorado
elk, which are now rapidly becomir-
extinct. and Of the Colorado blacktaI
deer, which are still very plentiful, but
which, unless better protected, will fol
low the elk in the next decade or SO.
In winter both elk and deer come dow

housekeeper."
1t is not with her story that ! feel in.
clined to quarrel, for she has the right
to make that just a. sad and grewsome
as she pleasee; but do object to her
genera!ities and sweeping assertions
concerning the characteristics OF the in
habitants of our state.
She says they are chary OF caresses--
the prairie people-perfunctory kisses
are given at the marriage feast or be-
fore the burial, but even these are few
and far between" She describes the
rural population of Nebraska that will
compare favorably with that Of any
other etate in the union in civilization,
education. enterprise and kind hearted.
ness, as il they were tribe in Central
Africa having racial peculiarities Of
their own, instead Of being component
part of our great commonwealth with
that same human nature that makes the
whole world kin.
Sympathy is as sweet, kindness as
dear and love as delightful to hearts that
beat under hickory shirt or calico
wrapper as the hearts under broadcloth
and silk, and when che further states
that the attitude Of young western
farmer to his mother is that Of an In
dian to his squaw," it is an insult to the
very best Of Nebrasks's population.
For "our staunch yeomanry is the coun-
try's PRIDE" Many of them are uni
versity graduates and rs cultured and
kind as their city cousins. / do not
think the author knows much about
Nebraska or its inhabitants. Her story
is full of Inconsistencies anyway. She
locates the home of the Carneys in a
forlorn place and Mrs. Carney tells her
stepson, Dan, on Decoration day that
"There hasn't been soul to this house
since Christmas, except some campers
whose wagon broke down." Yet in the
afternoon, whom Dan and his girl get
caught in dust storm on the way home
from the memorial exercises and take
short cut to Dams home, they find the
house full OF neighbor women caring Tor
Mrs. Carney. who went out short time
before to drive some calves in out of
the storm and succumbed to heart at
tack.
Carney trades his eastern business
for a rocky Nebraska farm" 1 have
never seen q rocky Nebraska farm, but
perhaps Kate Cleary has. And she says
"there was no timber in that region; the
small, shabby house perched upon the
bluff was exposed to the bitter winds of
winter and to the almost more malig.
nant furnace blasts of summer, yet
under these adverse conditions che
grows flourishing peach orchard which
is great source of income.
/ am afraid what she knows about
farming wouldn't make a book, and
what she knows about Nebraska is still
less. Like Rider Hsggard who hung
his new moon in tho eastern sky and
Jules Verne who had his party cross Ne
braska from Kesrney to Omaha in
few hours on sailing sled, it is a good
story, but poor facts.
There is lesson which the author
never intended should be drawn from
her article: and that is where. except in
productive Nebraska, could a woman
with drunken, shiftless husband and q
house full Of children OF her own, with
the help Of her two stepsons, have made
SO good living? Had they lived else-
where that ''riotous. registering. healthy
brood that came tumbling in at supper
