III UTASHINGTON.-Real wicked and
w ravenous wolves, such as are sup
posed to chase the traveller through
the woods on cold, snowy winter
night, were slain before the eyes Of
President Roosevelt in the east room
of the White House the other evening,
nothing but the naked hands being
utilized to perform this feat.
The wolves were not stationary, but
in actual motion. The entire affair
was so realistic that some of the dis.

Mr.. Alternately gave lifelike exhi-
bition of wolf hunting at the White
House by the medium OF series of
moving pictures. The slides illus
trated wolf hunt as conducted by
Abernathy, who, in conquering his
quarry, eschews the use of any deadly
weapon.
Alternately. who is now marshal OF
the state OF Oklahoma, served as guide
for the president on one OF his recent
hunting trips. Realizing the value Of
his spectacular exploits the wolf killer
recently made a prolonged excursion
into the woods, taking with him the
facilities for procuring characteristic
pictures. The result is about 5000
feet of moving films which graphically
portray the whole contest
The exhibition was given on huge
canvas, arranged for the purpose and
among the interested spectators were
