tary Barnes during the 16 days that the
President is tramping round over the
Government reservation.
The President is probably happier right
now than he has been before in many q
long day. He is q good deal of a boy,
after all. He likes to get close to Nature $
heart. and to study plants and trees and
creatures in their native hatitat. He
detests espionage such as ne has every
second of his life when inside civilized
environs. and he despises the public pos
ing which he has to undergo in the sim
plest functions when in the East. He
stipulated, when he started West, that
no newspaper men should accompany him
into the Park. And none did. One cor
respondent tried riding in on horseback
accompanied by a dog. The dog was
killed. as no dogs are permitted i'll the
Park at any time. and the correspondent
was speedily shown the way out. and he
went.
The President left his train att;red for
camp life. He was heavily shod, wore his
riding breeches and brown Rough Rider
hat. He probably donned chaps" and
a leather hunting shirt after he got away
from prying eyes. His mount was fine
big troop horse which had been especially
provided for his use. While he is speedy.
that will not count fol much where the
President is going. That he is strong and

wagon, and the troopers who will be his
scouts and orderlies while he is in the
Park. in the different sections which the
President will visit. Only plain camping
paraphernalia has been provided. and the

may not hunt bear, elk, buffalo, or deer

there are many, will be at his mercy, as
