MEMORY so POOR HE HAD
TO WRITE TO HIMSELF.

Many railroad men write letters to
themselves, says the Columbus Dis

and when he was in another town and
would think of something he had to Go
In Columbus he would write it on a slip
of paper and mail it to himself. He
didn't put the memorandum in his
pocket for fear he would forget about
putting 1t there.

the emissaries of the native chieftains
who hold sway over the territory. There
will be much show of hostility, and un-
doubtedly the leader of the expedition
will be taken to the kings kraal. There
the white men will be closely scrutin-
lied by the nude populace, the
armed strength of the tribe may be
paraded before the visitors and there
may be much palaver between the
prime minister and the interpreters,
but there will be no war. The visitors
will make gifts of brass wire, beads,
trinkets and perhaps some guns and
ammunition to the chief; he will return
the favor with millet, scraggy fowls
and some odorous native beer and then
diplomacy will have written another
victory to its credit. Undoubtedly when
the caravans interpreter has in

These huIking beasts are usually found
in herds of a half dozen or more and
furnish abundant sport for the hunter,
as they can travel quite rapidly and are
sufficiently dangerous when manned to
give the proper zest to African sport

Africa is not the mysterious jungle
that some explorers have pictured it to
be, and the dangers that come from
the fever bearing swamps are a hun
dred times more menacing to the white
man than the assegai of all the ma
tive tribes. As the Roosevelt caravan
proceeds from the coast to the shooting
grounds it must break way through
a wide expanse of swamp that is COW
cred with thick. inJerloclSing grass
from five to ten feet in height, thorn
bushes and scrub trees. These natural
allies Of disease will detain the in

that arise at night have inoculated his

to plague him at yearly intervals the

as rifles are medicines to combat the
disease, and the man who would enter
the country without "Livingstones
Rousers." the greatest monument the
explorer left on the continent, could
save himself much suffering IL he would
commit suicide with a pistol
1 IERE in these swamps is the outer
edge of the African game paradise
and If the sportsman IL not raving
in the delirium of fever and not being
rushed toward higher ground by his
hammock bearers he will experience
the rapture that comes to a man who
for the first time in his life has had
shot at an animal larger than Wild

= INCE the days of the earliest slave
traders that part of East Africa
which President Roosevelt has
chosen for his hunting ground has been
described as a natural geological park
without rival in the world. Dr. Liv-
ingstope, who was not prone to exag-
gerate, said that after he had entered
the country behind Quilimane he had
seen herds that must have aggregated
millions of specimens Tippo lib, who
knew his Africa better than any white
man who ever entered the country,
compared the number of animals with
that of the sands of the sea-incalcula-
BILE.
When Tippo Tib was at the height of
his career about 20 years ago he es-
timated that there were in his domin-
ion in East Africa no fewer than 2O0,-
600 elephants in $1,000 herds and that
their tusks Wen worth $25,000,000
When he was dying in Zanzibar, five or
six years ago. his chief regret seemed
to be that he had been able to bring to
the coast only a small fraction of the
tusks and that the various govern
ments were taking steps to protect the
herds of elephants against the at
tacks of the ivory hunters That the
herds OF game in the interior have
grown in numbers in the years since q
stop was put to the pot hunting of the
Arab ivory dealers is indicated BY the
reports of colonial governments and
sportsmen who have been in the coun-
try. From practically all Of the interior
settlements the governments are re-
ceiving appeals that the laws be sus-
pended for few years, so that the ele-
plants, hippopotamus, bunalo, rhinoc-
eros and other large animals which
threaten the lives and property of the
inhabitants might be reduced by whole
sale slaughter
Amazing tales of the numbers of ami
mails that remain there have come out
of the territory between the Somali-
land border on the north and the Linz
popo river on the south. Persons who

q year in shooting and hunting.
For the seeker OF big game East
Africa remains today the only field in
the world which is proof against the
pOthunuer. Those of the wholesale slay-
ers Of. wild animals Who can bear the
great expense OF Quitting an eXpedi-
tion to the interior usually are afraid
TO risk their lives in the fever swamps
or in the territory Of the none too
friendly blacks. and the result has been
that the great herds in this natural
geological garden are Undisturbed eX-
cept by the true sportsman. The va
riOus colonial governments in recent
years have gone to the aid of some Of
the species Of game and today it Is
almost as great q transgression Of the
