ROOSEVELT SCORED
BY NATURE FAkER''

/ NEW YORK, May 2S.-Producine
ironclad afidavits to disprove Theo-
dore Roosevelt's published statement
that he is nature faker," W. ].
Long, the author, in an open letter to
the President, demands that Roosevelt
publicly apologize TO him and retract
! the charge.
The President declared that Mr.,
Long is the worst of a group of literary
offenders, who claim to be writing
facts, but whose Impossible" and .'un-
mathematician stories are SO grossly
inaccurate that it is a shame to let
school children read them. In particu-
lar, he takes offense at Mr. Longs
widely read Northern Trailer" and
says that the incident of the wolf that
killed the bull caribou with a bite
through the chest to the heart is a
mathematical impossibility.'
From his home in Stamford, Conn.
the victim of the Presidents literary
rancor asks newspaper readers to de-
eide who is right.
You declare the thing to be a ma
thematical impossibility, and declare
by no possibility could a wolf perform
the feat
DR.. Long declares he knows from his
own observation and from the testi-
mony of Indians that wolves do some
times kill in this way, and then quotes
the signed and witnessed statement of
s. K Hapidan an educated Sioux In
dian, who states he saw a. horse which
a wolf had killed by tearing its chest.
In addition to this, Dr. Long says he
himself had seen deer which had been
slain in this manner by a wolf, and
further recites that an Indian. Matty
of Bonny Bay, Newfoundland,
declares that the big, white wolf fire.
quently kills caribou in this manner.
Continuing, DR.. Long says: These |
are the facts underlying the incident |
which you declare to be impossible and |
false. If this testimony is not enough |
will fill it up to full scripture meas |
ire.
You can not at this stage, Mr.. |

silence by breaking it by coming out |
in publication to attack a private citi-

wholesome joke, even if it is turned

from Pittsburg and the bride-elect

BUFFALO ROBES ARE SCARCE.

not afford to keep the precious skins
longer.
Five of them have been sold, anC
while $500 has been offered for the
last of the lot, the dealer is holding
it for $500, the price demanded by the
owner.
The robes are not unusually large,
either, and were undoubtedly bought
by people who intended to use them
for rugs, to retain as curios, or for
some such purpose.
Imagine carriage being driven
about town, a 5000 robe thrown care
Iessly over the seat, while the owner
stepped into business house for a
few moments!
Few people would recognize the
robes as valuable, however, as they
have no more style than the ordinary
fur robe, but the value is there, as the
purchaser will learn who pines foT
