rs LIKE HIS FATHER.
Kermit Roosevelt Reaches the BlaeNI
Hills and Plunges into the Wilder
ness in SearchAof Bear.

Deadwood, S. D., Aug. 25.-Kerlnit
Roosevelt, like his father, is after bear.
Unlike his father he will probably not
get any.
He arrived in DeNdwood Monday
night IN the Burlington railroad, and
is the happiest boy in the county at
the prospect Of a ten days camping
trip with Captain Seth Bullock and
friends. The party will consist of Cap
tain Bullock. his son Stanley. Kermit.
Congressman Martins son Paul and
two guides.
These guides are both old, experienced
trappers, versed in all the woodlore OF
the west, and with Captain Bullock will
see that young Roosevelt misses Moth
ing of interest.
Il always anted to come west
said Kermit. Tied came out here once,
but I came before. He wants
very much to come back. I'm coming
again, too, if Captain and Mrs. Bull
lock will have me. Yes. 1 can shoot
pretty we'll with a rifle, but I am no
good at all with a shotgun"
He is a wholesome, hearty little lad,
with his fathers cordial manner, and
finely shaped head, and a simple. pleas
ing personality, quite devoid of any
ostentation or pretense. He shakes
hands with you with a staceato like lit
tie grip hat reminds you of his father,
dllo IS So apparently QellSlleQ WIN
everything that it is refreshing to meet
him.
He is very anxious to get a bear, but
bears are fast becoming ancient his
tory in the Black Hills and the party
will probably encounter nothing more
alarming than rabbits and trout.
They go first to Sand creek, where
the trout fishing is exceptionally fine.
From there they make their way by.
easy stages further into Wyoming, and
then north to Cave hills, where an
other forest reserve is located. They
back by way Of Belle Fourche
and the great irrigation canal.
They are after all legitimate game
which they may. encounter and are
sure Of a good time. The entire party,
with he exception of the driver of the
grub wagon, go on horseback, and are
dressed for the true life Of the hunter
and trapper.
II don't get very far from the grub
wagon" said Kermit.
h trip will last for only ten days,
as the boy must return east at the end
o. that time to be in readiness for his
school at Groton, Mass. He ma never
be president, but he is sure t. be a
fine, manly young man and a credit
to his father.
