WRITES BOOK ON DEER.
President Roosevelt About to Issue
New Volume Giving His Expe-
rience I'm Chase.

President Roosevelt has spent some
time of late in the preparation of his
manuscript for a new book soon to
be issued from an eastern publishing
house, on the deer of North America.
The scientists who have had the
presidents manuscript and illustra-
lions for the book in hand are sur
prised at his knowledge of animal
life and his broad and scientific way
of handling matters.
This volume is one of a series be-
ing edited by Casper Whitney, the
editor of Outing, and will be issued
late in the spring or in the early
summer. The series comprises treat
Uses on large game and forest re-
serves all over North America, and
will be contributed to by a number
of able scientists, among them DR..
C. Hart Merriam, a well-known gov
eminent biologist and writer.
Those who have had an opportu-
nifty to Judge of the presidents forth
coming book say that while ne mas
not the picturesque handling of Ian
guages adapted to describing animal
life with which Thompson Seton is
endowed, he yet has a clever way OF
telling the tricks and habits of the
deer, of which he has been pro-
digious hunter, and the book will
have a larger circle of readers than
any of his other books.
Though much of the work upon
the manuscript was done before he
became president of the United
States, Mr.. Roosevelt has handled a
large amount of the matter in con
nection with lis pressing executive
work and other duties.

The will of Jonathan Clark, who for
merly lived at 233 Warren avenue, Chi
cago, and who died at Fruitland, Fla,
February 5, makes provision by which
the testator believes he will prevent
his descendants of the second genera
ton from becoming idle. After max
ing plans for final distribution of his
estate, following the death of his
widow and children, by which plans
one-balf of the estate is to go to the
benefit of schools and charitable insti-
buttons, the testator says:
Il restrict the legacies of my de-
scendants to one-half of my estate in
order that they may each have enough
to establish them in business, but not
enough to support them in idleness."
The estate consists of 5000, 900 in per-
sonal property and 100000 in realty,
and in order that the realty may not
be sold at sacrifice the testator pro-
vides for the creation of a trust,
