PRESIDENTIAL HUNTING PARTY
FEAST ON BEAR AND POSTUM
jokes PASS ABOUT BOARD
Distinguished Men Indulge in Puns-
Tableware Scarce in the Mis-
sissippi Wiids.

Smedes, Miss, via Valley Park,
Miss, Nov. 16.-Bear paws and pos.
sum and sweet potatoes were the
principal features of the Sunday din
ner at the camp on the Little Sun
flower today. President Roosevelt
ate with the appetite of a section
hand. He sat on an upturned tin
pail and rested on a low campstool.
81 am ashamed of myself" he an
nounced after he had surrounded two
big pieces of 'possum and a bears
paw. Il think, however, that l am
entitled to another cup of coffee, be-
cause I did not drink any at all yes
terday."
Pass the fish to Mr.. Fish, called
out-John M. Parker, who sat at the
center of the table. The fish was
passed.
1T is not often that we have both
the head and Foote of the nation at
the same table," remarked Judge Dick
inson.
If that is perpetuated again." said
Mr.. Foote, Il shall use my foot with
terrible effect"
Crowd Is Temperate.
Zone thing I like about a camp din
ner," remarked the president, "is that
you can wipe the 'possum grease off
OF your hands on your trousers. That
is not considered the very best form
in Washington"
'This is the most temperate hunt
ing crowd I eve saw" said Major
Helm. "The sobriety that has char
acterized this hunt is simply scandal
ous."
That's what l like about it," said
the president. II like to get into a
crowd where I can refuse to drink
without losing the friendship of the
people around me. In my time, l have
been in crowds where a refusal to
drink meant a fight. l like whisky
just about as much as 1 do ipecac."
The dinner was served on a long
pine board resting upon %sawbucks.
The plates were of tin and so we're
the spoons. Only three glasses could
be scraped together and the salt and
sugar were in tin cups of similar size
and appearance.
Salt in the Coffee.
II have drank coffee ~sweetened
with salt at least three times" said
the president, "but as salt is supposed
to be good for malaria, l have not fill
ed any protest."
During the morning the president,
Secretary Cortelyou, DR.. Lung and the
other members of the party strolled
about the camp or read books and
papers. The afternoon was passed
in much the same manner. The dogs,
which were pretty badly played out
by the previous two days hard work,
got a good rest and ought to be fresh
TOT ne unt tomorrow.
The party will remain at the camp
until late Tuesday afternoon. Some
time during Tuesday evening the
special train that brought the presi-
dent to Smedes will whistle a fare
well to the plantation and start on
the return trip. Memphis will be
reached about 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning.
The president will remain at Mem
phis until midnight, when he will start
for Washington over the Southern
railway. No stops are scheduled for
the. return trip.

Future Prospects.

From the time Of the announcement
that the Thirty-afth annual eucampment
of the c. 4. R. would be held IN this
city the feeling has prevailed that every
veteran that is able would make al sf-
fort to journey to the city for whose 3e-
Tense he fought and make it a last lil-
grimage. This encamp3ent. it is sad,
viii be one OF the largest ever held, but
with the idea in the minds OF most of
the veterans that il is their 5. en-
campment
In view Of this feeling il is proposed
10 make future encampments principally
business gatherings and 10 bear the en-
tire expenses out OF the revenues of the
association, without appealing to the
citizens TO contribute to the entertain
ment Of the veterans. Many. 1t is said.
viii claim IL as q privilege to see that
the visitors are well cared for. but the
idea OF the officers and prominent off,
cials Of the G. A r is TO remove the

It Is placed in Offering the encsmpmeut

this movement IS Capt. Harry A Co
