TEDDYS HUNT TRIP.
PERilS AND PLEASURES OF THE
GAME QUEST IN EAST AFRICA.
Death from Fever Poison and Animals,
or SaptIVty in the Jungle Lurk,
But in the End the Finest
Hunting in the World.

Oyster Bay, n. Y.-President Roose-
velts hunting trip to East Africa
which is planned for next year will
decrease the presidential savings some
$2O,OOO 10 $50 900 at a low estimate
but. inasmuch as Mr. Roosevelt al
ready mas been offered more than ten
times that amount for his story of the
trip, to be written upon his return, it
isn't worrying the family banker.
What Is concerning all the Roose
Welt FAM and the close friends of
the president may be summed up as
things hat might happen on that
trip. j $ no small matter, this 90,
600 mile Journey to the widest sec
ton of tho world. where big game is
as popuIuus as it has come to be
scarce il The won west" 1t isn't so
much tn lions. elephants. and their
associate that are being feared, al
though the element of danger they
always present contains the essential
zest OF hunting with any true sports
man. But here are many other enc
mics of human life, which the presi-
dent viii have to encounter and sub
due.
The journey to the east coast of
Africa Wi be one of the most wonder
full pilgrinliges a man of the western
world miRht take. The president will
pass through seas and straits which
alone could have washed away the
tones OF history they have seen writ
ten. He viii come into contact with
customs aud people by far the most
interestins in the world, and finally,
as SORT OF guerdon for his wander
ing, the traveller will reach Zanzibar
Ia place which merits its name, Para

ing Is square miles in the world, and

appears to merit the description. In
its scant area the flotsam and jetsam
of the eastern world has gathered. 1t
contains, shoulder to shoulder, in its
Heterogeneous people and life, the ele
ments of the finest culture, the deep
est ignorance, morality. degeneracy,
vice and virtue, more Realistically in
terwoven into the life of the place
than anywhere else in all the world
Here the president will get his sup
plies. guides, servants, porters and
other blacks who will be his compan
ions on the hunt. From Zanzibar he
goes to the chief city of English East
Africa and from there plunges into
the vast, silent, disease breeding jun
gle, where white man goes with the
assurance that DEATH multiform, pes
tilent and horrible, turks in every
thicket and stream and tree; a place
where the chances of living are re-
duced to the ultimate natural minimum.
Preceded by his blacks, and fol-
lowed by more of the same, bearing
the rather imposing luggage of the ex-
petition, and, in bad weather, the
the president will enter a world vast
ly different from anything he has ever
seen.
The president will not have pro-
ceeded far before rebellion will break
out in his train. This kind, however,
is more easily settled than miners
strikes, and all may be well.
Then he may be overtaken and cap
tured by native prince, who will re-
quire beads, wire, brass and the like
to keep him from devoting his dis
tinguished guest to Cutting his appe-
tite. Upon finding that his visitor is
the chief will even become solicitous,
send around a few buckets of stink
ing native beer, even some pellets of
bhang, that the president may dream
the dream OF the hashish eater. and as
a last mark of courtesy demand that
the president marry couple or more
of his dusky bellies The diplomacy
of Mr. Roosevelt will have to be relied
upon in this extremity. .
In the end, all these perils having
been safely passed, Mr.. Roosevelt will
reach the happiest hunting grounds
in all the world, where he may shoot
| lions, hippopotami, specimens Of the
buffalo. rhinoceros, box, etc, till his
ammunition runs out or something
] happens.

cused of having been implicated has
been worked on merchants In Chi
