k.A0E DRUNK BY MOSQUITOES
Small Pests, Not the Wild Animals,
Are the Real Troubles OF the
African Hunter.

THE African mosquitoes intoxicate
you. They inject so much poiso. into
you that you are dazed, your ey } roll
and you stagger and speak thickly.
In word, you're drunk" said mis-
sionary.
In the Nyassa country I'd always
start getting ready for bed and the
mosquitoes an hour before sunset. Ia
set up my mosquito net with the ut.
most care. I'd clamp down its edges
with valises and boxes. I'd light inside
1t three green wood fires, filling IL
with bitter smoke that all insects
are supposed to loathe.
Finally I'd get in myself. I'd
smoke big pipes of the black native
tobacco, and I'd long miserably in
that hot. smoky atmosphere for the
dawn.
Despite ali my precautions quite
200 or 300 mosquitoes would get in
side my net as soon as darkness fell.
They were like a whirlwind in there.
1t couldn't have been worse. Their
noise and their nipping made me
times.
AT last In exhaustion I'd get few
hours of troubled sleep, awakening
for breakfast, drunk from the poison
injected by hundreds of tiny needles
into my veins.
No, 1t isn't the elephants or tho
giraffes that trouble the African hunt

Taft as president extended even to the personnel
of that secret service corps charged with pro-

1t Is not strange that each president should
prefer to exercise strictly his personal prefer

as his personal escort, for very few officials OF

The glories OF the season are well re-
fiected in the Autumn showing Of wo-
mems shoes and hosiery at Pyle and Cro-

general design and individual distinctive
ness and the lasts combine style elegance
and comfort
The special vogue is the clingng cloth
top buttoned boot. perfectly correct in
either the modish dull or in the shiney
feathers. according to the requirements Of
the occasion. Not even the softest OF KID
tops will accentuate the charm OF dainty
ankle as well as the cork screw" cloth.
Onyx brand hosiery is especially fea-
tured and the colors In isles and silks
run riot in their charm. There are also
staples in blacks and tans brought out
this season in a variety Of double heel and

come as proof against the very annoying
ravages of the garter-clasp and heel-holes.
OF special note is the convenience Of the
