hand this wear. The news that President
Roosevelt has accepted an honorary mem
hership in the camp and the intimation
that the President might provide big game
come day for the campers more than made
No for the deficiency.
Mountain sheep was on the bill Of fare
but not on the table. Bill and Jim Brewster
killed q pair Of mountain sheep in the Can
sdian Rockies a few weeks ago especially
for the dinner last night, but unpleasant
ahings happened to the game in transit, so
plain hlet Of beef was substituted. Many
of the diners ate the beef and smacked their
lips appreciatively, commenting that It
wasn't every day one could GET hold OF real
mountain sheep in this town.
The wild boar came in escorted by four
solemn walters. 1t was stretched on a great
platter and roasted 10 a beautiful brown.
The head waiter led the march around the
EOOm. Nnle Vne campers waved InelT 0aD-

. frizzed pink rosette and a baked apple
vas stuck between his jaws.
Exactly ten. seconds after the escort OF
walters wakes right in and turned around
and walked right out again there were
slices OF a dark porklike meat on the tables.

The Canadian Camp is made up Of men
and women. too. who cross the border &C.
cssionally to camp in the Canadian woods.
The decorations, therefore, savored OF
Canada. The Colonial flag hung with the
stars and Stripes over the speakers dais.
The diners wore boutonnieres of Canadian
henlock and the tables were strewn with
frost redeemed maple and oak leaves. The
souvenirs were tiny birch bark canoes,
each carving a cargo Of ices.
DR.. G. LenoX Curtis. president Of the
Camp, opened the speeohmaking by pre-
senting the Rev. Or. r. :. Macarthur as
POSTMASTER. just before Or. Macarthur
got to talking "A thin little man with grayish
chin whiskers walke in and was cheered
j. was Buffalo Jones.
Or. Macarthur told the Campers that
the big question of to-day was who shall
rule the Pacific. He hoped the United
States would be dominant, but expressed
the belief that this country would never
he supreme on Ine HaCl1C unless we played
fair with the Japanese: Then he intro
duced Gen. Cecil Clay OF Washington, who
made a Campfire Talk
cen. Clay rambled along pleasantly in an
after dinner monologue; He said he
couldn't understand why they wanted him
TO talk unless they wanted TO make game
If him. He gave the difference between
rheumatism and govt; The one, said he,
comes from original sin; the other from

DR.. j. G. Alien, who got back recently
from a six weeks hunting trip in Panama,
told the campers about some Of the things
he had seen on the Isthmus. He said that
ne got the most favorable impression of
the men who are building the canal and
said that they were earnest, able men that
we're willing always TO put alfthetr informa-
ton and data before visitors.
The climate of Panama. said DIR. Allen,
has been maligned by new spsper writers.
