comic incident which happened In the
Shenandoah valley in 1864. Near Mill

night and went into camp. One of the
men, who was hungry, slipped away
and went off in the neighborhood to
get something to eat. He rode up TO

for the person inside TO come out.
negro woman. known at that time
as an intelligent contraband, opened
the door and asked him what he want

of his safety before dismounting and
while eating his supper. so he inquired
of the woman IL any one but herself

Jack London Answers Charge Of Mature
Taxing Made by the President.

New York, Sept Jack London, who
has been put in the nature faker class
by President Roosevelt, has written for
this weeks issue OF Golfers Weekly
an article in which he says;
President Roosevelt tried and con-
demned me on two counts. tll ! was
guilty of having big, fighting bulldog
whip a wolf-dog. (2l | was guilty OF
allowing a lynx to kill a wolf-dog in a
pitched battle.
Regarding the second count President
Roosevelt was wrong in his field obser'

hastily for IN my story | had the wolf
dog kill the lynx, but made him eat
the body OF the lynx as well,
President Roosevelt does not think
a bulldog can lick wolf dog, | think
bulldog can lick wolf-dog. And
there we are"
London, speaking of PRESIDENT Roose-
velts views of evolution, says;
Now. President Roosevelt is an am
ateur. He may know something OF state
craft and game shooting, but that
he should be able, as an individual OBJ
server, to analyze air animal life and
to synthetic and develop and know all
that is known of the method and sig.
nitcance of evolution, would require a
vaster credulity for you or me to believe
the biggest whopper ever told by an UNI
mitigated nature faker, No, President
Roosevelt does not understand evolution
and he does not seem to have made
much of an attempt to understand evo-
luton"
