BY ROBERTUS LOVE.

BY ROBERTUS LOVE.
VOW does the wolf kill the carl
bou? Does the big wild dog
bite the big wild bull to the
heart at one bite or does he
plant bomb at the caribou's front
gate, hide in the thicket and pull the
string with his teeth? Well, who
cares? Not one American in thou
sand ever saw a wolf, and not one in
ten Thousand knows what a caribou is.
But for two citizens-each a desira-
bic citizen in his way-this is a mo-
mentous question. 1t has brought OH a
declaration of war between a president
and preacher. The war Is raging
among mankind and probably ere now
has spread to the jungle folk. There
is, in fact, no doubt whatever that
Mowgli and Izaa and Baloo, not forget
ting White Fang and Wayeeses, are
reading the Jungle Journal every
morning with eagerness to learn
whether President Roosevelt or Preach
er Long is getting the strangle hold.
The declaration Of war was made by
the Rev. William J. Long of Stamford,
Conn, author Of several books con-
corning wild beasts and birds. For
some time it has been evident that
Mr.. Roosevelt would make war on
what he terms the mature fakirs' if
he could, but as he couldn't he did the
next best thing. He threw down the
gantlet by submitting to an interview

fore, that men who write such tales
with the truth label in the preface "do
not know the heart Of the wild things"
That gives MI. Long an opening. He
comes back at the president with a
stiff counter swipe to the effect that
Mr.. Roosevelt knows the heart Of the
wild things by putting bullets into
each heart that comes within his rifle
range. Whereupon the preacher quotes
from the presidents books to prove
that this is the presidential method of
acquiring wild heart lore, and no aft
davits are needed.
Mr.. Roosevelt in firing his magazine
rifle at Mr. Long intimated, though in
a more dignifed manner, that he was
from Missouri and would have to be
shown. Mr.. Long must produce aftida-
Wits of eyewitnesses before the presi-
dent could believe such stories.
Straightway Mr.. Long produced the
affidavit Of an educated Indian, poor
but honest, who, being duly sworn, de-
posed and said that he had seen wolves
kill horses by biting them through the
chest. A horse of course is not carl
bou; but, then, it's just as good. The
preacher dared the president to come
on and fight
The Public-Up and at him, Teddy!
The President-I never shoot twice
at small game.
The Preacher (who had been spar
ring for this very opening)-Aha! But
don't you? Look on this picture!
Mr.. Long then quoted from one of
the presidents hunting books, where
Mr.. Roosevelt recorded how he had
followed wounded deer and brought
it down with second shot. But, then,
Of course deer is hardly small game.
But Mr.. Long has declared that the
president shall not take refuge behind
the dignity Of his Office "a man named
Roosevelt he says, ''has attacked nv
personal honor, and if he won't apollo
gize I'll smoke him OUT
So RACES the battle. now being a

Beginning of An Excitinu War.

Events leading up to this exciting
war should be cited briefly. To go
away back, it may be stated that from
time lmmemorial the human race has
regarded itself as superior to the so
called lower animals, including orioles,
wolves and even monkeys. The theory
mas been that men are guided by rea-
son, While beasts and birds are con-
trolled by mere instinct. A few wears
ago several writer's appeared whose
DOCKS tended to upset this time hon
ored theory. They put forth animals

gle accent, organized governments. es-
tabllshed schools and in other WAYS
stealthily usurped human prerogatives.

r1es were admittedly fables, like Rud-
yard Kipling's "Jungle Book" saws

man for the human race the president

for magazine. Parson Long picked
up the glove and hurled it back at the
president with extraordinary vehe-
mence. So the war is on.
Already the slaughter of words has
been terrific. At Mr.. Longs first as
sault more words fell than men at Get.
tysburg. The casualties were about
10000, covering whole newspaper
page. But Commander Long still has
an abundance Of linguistic reserves,
and the campaign continues. It is said
that he speaks six languages and reads
as many more. 1t is not likely that

MI. Long with being a nature fakir

Who" In the Big Woods.

a few years ago Mr. Burroughs accom-
panied the president on long tour of
the Yellowstone park. Perhaps the
plan of campaign was Matched some
where around the spouting hot gey-
sers of that region. At any rate, it
was not long afterward that Mr.. Bur-
roughs took a magazine shot at two or
three of the men who write animal
tales, Mr.. Long being his chief tar

some catapultic blows in the shape of
affidavits to prove the truth of his
tales, and for a time the bugles rang

Mathematical ImpossibiIity."
Now the president has renewed the
fight from headquarters. Some Of Mr..
Longs books, it appears, have been
adopted as supplementary readers in
public schools. The president also has
written nature books, Of a kind, but
these have not been adopted as school
readers, probably because the young
idea learns how to shoot too early any
how if it can get hold Of a gun. Mr..
Roosevelt is highly indignant that
American school children should be
taught that wolf can kill big carl
bou by biting him through the chest,
as depicted in Mr.. Longs story Of
"Wayeeses, the White Wolff This,
he declares, is a mathematical impos-
sibility. The president argues, there

Couldn't Swallow the Story.

In a middle western state, where
bullfrogs are supposed to abound, one
Of Mr.. Longs books was excluded
from the public schools because it con-
tanned a story of frog that caught
and swallowed sparrow. The board
couldn't swallow the story, though
there was the preachers own word
for it.
'"They didn't happen to know" says
Mr.. Long, "that frogs sometimes grow
to length of sixteen inches. I have
4 photograph showing a Connecticut
frog just about to take a bird in it's
mouth, and have watched one catch
and swallow sparrow, as stated in
my book"
One of the most unlikely stories told
by the Stamford naturalist describes
the skill of one DR.. Woodcock- is,
a woodcock with broken leg, which
set the fractured member by plaster
ing it with mud and letting the mud
dry.
Mr.. Long says that he saw wood
cock in claybank at the edge of
stream carefully smearing clay over
one of it's legs, around which it had
placed some blades of grass. He was
afraid the story would not be be-
lieved, but finally he told it in the
course of lecture.
''After the lecture a gentleman who
was in the audience told me-" says the
nature writer, ''that more than once he
had found Jumps Of clay about the legs
of woodcock which he had shot, with
blades of grass in the clay. On remov-
ing the clay he invariably found that
the leg had been broken
