thing was very simple it was quite
comfortable. The party that accom-
panied him was small one, consist
ing of Major Pitcher, Mr.. Burroughs,
two orderlies and two cooks There
also was small force to man the
pack wagon.
Not an Expert With the Ski.
While, fortunately, there were no
accidents number of amusing Incl
dents occurred. One of them hap
pened during the presidents visit to
geyserland, a few days ago. The
president and Mr.. Burroughs were on
skis and started to race down hill.
The snow was soft and Mr.. Bur-
roughs, who had never used ski be-
fore, soon found himself with his head
in the snow and his feet in the air.
He had hardly struggled to his feet
when the president repeated the per-
Torrance. Neither one was hurt.
On another occasion the president
had just commenced to shave himself
when Mr.. Burroughs discovered a
flock of mountain goats jumping down
o steep hill. He called the presidents
attention to the sight and Mr. Roose-
welt came running out without hat or
coat and with his face covered with
lather.
An Owl Story.
Mr.. Burroughs tells a good story on
The president in connection with the
birds. They were sitting around the
camp fire one night when Mr. Bur
roughs, whom, by the way, the presi-
dent has nicknamed "Oom john" on
account of his flowing white whiskers,
heard a strange call. He did not rec
ognize it and asked Bill Hoffer, the
guide and trapper, what it was.
That's an OWL" said Bill.
"Oh, no." replied the president and
Mr. Burroughs, an owl does not
sound that kind of CALL
Thereupon the party started out to
locate the bird. They finally discov-
cred it perched on the topmost bough
Of tall tree. 1t was too for away to
oe plainly seen with the naked eye.
eYou keep that bird freed, Dom
John, said the president, @and will
go and get the glasses
When the bird was brought into
vision by the powerful glasses 1t
proved to be dwarf owl. Bill Hoffer
was vindicated.
