Presents For Native Rulers.

Mr.. Roosevelt is in correspondence
with various persons who know some
thing at first hand about Africa and
the Africans, the climate, the kings
the beasts and the "boys." High au-
thorities remark that the president
shows wisdom in thus seeking advice
for If he should plunge headlong into
the hunting country just anywhere the
chances Of his catching a fever would
be considerable. Fevers are more to be
feared than the natives. Nevertheless
to conciliate the native rulers of the
parts where the big game abounds, It
will be necessary for Mr.. Roosevelt to
take along many packages of presents
It is more than likely that when an
African king learns that his visitor has
been the big chief in his own land the
black host will confer unusual gifts
upon Mr.. Roosevelt, thus increasing
the expense Of the expedition, because
courtesy will demand reciprocity.
Just now the Roosevelt mail at Oys-
ter Bay is bullying with letters from all
sorts Of persons who want to go along
with the hunting party. Secretary
Loeb remarked the other day that the
president could have, If he wished, a
volunteer army Of several thousand
with which to penetrate to the interior
and conquer the country. OF course
this is quite true, for the Roosevelt
African hunt is going to belong to his.
tory. But the rough riders and weary
walkers who would like to be in at the
killing will be disappointed, for the
president is known to be a. man who
dislikes to have mob around him
when he wants to shoot game. Even
the photographers, many Of whom have
urged their claims, are being turned
down. Kermit Roosevelt, who Is q
husky young man and an expert pho
tographer, has pre-empted the picture
taking Job.

Taxidermist In the PARTY.

Mr.. Roosevelt's purpose, as announc
ed, is to kill specimens Of each kind
Of big game in Africa. AS he is tc
devote a whole year to the task, there
seems no reason to doubt his ultimate
success. He proposes to back up wha,

Ing home with him the carcasses OF
the slain beasts. A taxidermist will
accompany the party to mount the ami
mails and preserve them for shipment
The taxidermed pachyderms and 9th
er defunct beasts are to be presented
to some American museum of natura..
history, so that future generations may
gaze upon them and admire the prov
ess Of the mighty huntsman of 1909.
1t Is stated by one prognosticator tina,
Mr.. Roosevelt will visit while in Afri

young millionaire from st. Louis
who for several years has lived in the
wilds Of east Africa near the equator
where he has a place which he calls
Juja farm. Mr.. Mcmillan, who is ar
inveterate and intrepid hunter and ex
plorer, Is said to have 5000 acres
stout1y fnclosed against the predatory
beasts Of the outlying wilderness. Hi.

Mr.. Roosevelt has shot everything in
this country worth shooting. An
American bear looks to him now no
bigger than brush pile bunny. He
has been and seen and conquered the
growing grizzly, the screaming noun
tain lion and the mooing moose. Kings
and cars are the only big game left
in Europe. so it is necessary to cut
loose from civilized continents alto
gether and puncture the primeval.
Mr.. Roosevelt proposes to go to the
land where truly real lions roar, where
hippopotami hop, where leopards leap,
where elephants elevate their trunks
and where gorillas gr-rowl.
This is live news because it is so
unusual and because it is announced
a year beforehand. No president ever
did such thing as that after stepping
down and out. It is big news because
Theodore Roosevelt Is the most cele-
brated man in the world today. For
nearly two terms he has occupied the
highest post Of honor in all the world
Now he retires-speaking nearly year
ahead, Of cOurse-and from the tip Of
the topmost tower Of civilization he
takes header into the depths of the
darkest jungles Of barbarism that yet
remain on the earth's surface.
If that is not STARTER, then bring
on the thrill medicine.
Just what sort of country is this
into which Mr.. Roosevelt and his son
Kermit, who will be twenty one years
old then, are to plunge? Will the ex-
president be disappointed because the
game IS not what it has been cracked
up to be? Will he weep, Alexander,
like, because Of finding after all his
travel and trouble and expense that
there is not another animal world to
conquer in Africa?
Well, that is not likely.

Now the elephant is fearful

From Jungle Jingles. 1909"
THERE is one piece Of news that
will be news for at least a score
Of months. Then it will become
literature at So a word. Allu-
sion is made to the forthcoming plunge
Of Theodore Roosevelt into the wilds of
Africa to hunt big game.
It is piece Of news that already has
thrilled the world. Kings, courtiers
and commons are talking about it. At
fairs of state have taken a back seat.
They are dry as dust. This is interest
ing as a raging cataract. It still thrills.
When, Immediately after becoming our
only living ex-president next March,
Mr. Roosevelt departs for his dash into
the jungle for a years absence, the
thrill will be such that many Of US can
hardly wait until the huntsman's own
story IS written by himself and pub
lished broadcast to an avid earth. That
this story will be all Of the six best
thrillers amalgamated is not to be dis
puted.
For seven years Mr.. Roosevelt has
been held in check by the reins of Of
fee. He has been bitted and curbed.
He has been restrained by a steady
job, so that he has been unable to do
what he wants to do. When he re-
turns to the liberty Of private citizen

That is, If we may accept the state
ments of certain persistent sportsmen
who have elected to live in Africa just
because the big game is so PLENTIFUL

Woods Full of Leopards.

Well, some. How would you like to
meet full grown leopard cat not
house broke in a forest somewhere
its breakfast and it was some hours
past dinner time? An African leopard
is no respecter Of persons, not even of
ex-presidentlal persons. And, to use
an American phrase, the woods are
full of them.
But the leopard is one Of the least
Of the African ogres. The elephant
on his native heath is by no means
the street broke animal Of the travel
ing circus. He will not eat peanuts
from the hand, not even from the hand
Of an ex-president. And his footprint
IS painful to the person printed. The
African elephant is liable to step or
you with both front feet and then dou
BILE up and plant his rear pedals where
they will do the most harm.
1t was almost child's play for E1r
Roosevelt to hunt bears in the Mis-
sissippi canebrakes. There were 8
few flea bitten bruins of small size
scooting around in the brakes, scared
half to death at sight or sound Of hui
man and scampering for cover. But
when this same huntsman gets into
equatorial Africa and encounters Kins
Leo in his lair there will be another
tale to tell. Assuredly the exploit o,
the Yazoo darky who caught a beal
and tied it to tree so that the prest
dent could shoot 1t but he wouldn't
and didn't will not be matched by any
of Mr.. Roosevelt's black boys in the
jungle SO far as the lion Is concerned.

ostrich and incidentally eliminating
the elephant, the lion, the rhinoceros,
the hippopotamus, the leopard and a
few other big uns that abound in
those parts. It is east Africa, mind
you, to which Mr.. Roosevelt will go.
Mr.. Pringle writes back to an Amer
lean some tales about the game in
those parts which sound as If they
came from the tall timber. But Mr..
Pringle Is reputed to be honest, though
rich. He has had excellent opportuni-
ties to see the roaming multitudes Of
large beasts, and what he says should
be taken without doubt or derision.

But hear Percy Pringle further:
"One Of the elephants tossed me and
nearly broke my skull. My boys car

The mashela, be it known, Is a ham,

blacks, age and size immaterial, whom
every African huntsman must take
along to do the heavy work. Incl

ton to take passage on an elephantine
trunk, and it should warn Kermit to
give his strenuous sire some fatherly
advice in the jungle.
But peruse Pringle: ION none Of nv
trips have seen so much game, and
believe that, instead Of growing fewer
In numbers, 1t is increasing. Lions are
more numerous than when I came
here, and there is hardly a night that
we do not hear them near our cattle

Fine Collection of Animals.
That is rather indefinite. But hear
this, MI. Pringle speaking: Zone
morning when I woke the boys car
ried me to the top Of a kopje so that
could see what was in the valley. I
will never forget the scene. I do not
believe any living man ever saw so
many fine animals together at one
time. There was only one herd Of
fourteen elephants, but of every other
conceivable kind Of game there were
so many that it would have been i'm
possible to count them, 1 believe, in a
day, even If they had stood in one spot
instead Of moving around like so many
ants on heap. There were buffalo,
Gland, giraffe and practically every
kind Of box in the country"
Now, isn't that enough?
But let us hear what the late mon
arch, Tippo lib, said about the multi
plicity Of elephants In his domain.
Tippo declared that there were at least
100000 elephants alone in his part Of
east Africa, about $4,000 herds of
them, and the poor fellow died be-
moaning the fact that there was still
S25,000,000 worth of ivory truncating
around the jungles, which probably
would fall to the lot of the white
usurper.
Only the rich can hunt in east AT.

up into the thousands. .The boys
must be selected and hired. It will re-
quire fifty or sixty of them for the
Roosevelt expedition. The boys are
pack horses, carrying about seventy
pounds OF luggage each upon their
naked backs. And the walking isn't
good either. Sometimes the boys balk
and have to be whipped into line.
Sometimes they mutiny and make
