asked IL he had anything to say about
President Roosevelt's recent bear hunt
in the Louisiana canebrakes.
"Oh, yes, little to say and lot
to think" was his reply. It's a fine
specimen OF Mr.. Roosevelt's brand of
nature study. He went into the cane.
brakes, according to accounts, with six
or eight professional hunters, two sur
geons, sixty odd dogs, unnumbered
camp followers, camera men and a
few dispatch bearers to carry out ac-
counts of his heroism to a breathless
world.
There was hullaballoo enough to
scare any bear from here to Texas
Some OF them are probably running
yet. Bears are timid, you know; they
hate noise and excitement. It's a
wonder that he got one bear; that he
ever saw a fresh track. All the able
bodied bears skidooed at the first up

earth having been taken off the top

No Wholesale Desertions

Commander n. X. Usher, of the
cruiser St. Louis, who was at the
Navy Department Monday, denied the
report of wholesale assertions by the
crew of that vessel. The st. Louis is
now at the New York navy yard,
making ready for cruise around
Cape Horn to join the second squadron
of the Pacific lleet. The desertions,
he said, had been few, aud these had
grown out of the dissatisfaction over
an order forbidding card playing.
Commander Usher explained that the
practice of gambling had grown up,
and TO prevent it he suspended the
game. He said that there were only
seventy absentees without leave out
of a crew of 630, and he expects. that
most if not all of these will report
for duty before the vessel starts on
her cruise next Wednesday.

Those not having had experience are
not desired to fill such a position at
