Roosevelt in October Scribner's.

We have awaited the appearance of
Mr.. Roosevelt's hunting articles In
Scribner's with a kind Of wonder as to
what a man would say if paid. as is
rumored, one dollar a word. But, just
as we should have expected. this first
article is merely Mr.. Roosevelt in black
and white. 1t is straightforward. man
", honest. outdoor description and mar
ration, with here and there a bit OF
comment, sometimes by a naturalist,
sometimes by a sOCi1loBist. sometimes
by philosopher. There is no fuss-and-
feathers about this article. but il is
keenly interesting. II deals mostly
with the trip TO the hunting-groun the
operations and the companions met
with. One OF the noteworthy things Is
the list OF books carried along In what
is dubbed the 'Pigskin Library" 1t
ranges from tie Bible and Homer,
through Keats to Mark Twain, and ir-
cludes much Scott, Macauley, and The
Federalist.
The October Scribner's also contains
a poem by George Meredith. and another

A New TennysOn Story.

Here Is a Tennyson anecdote which
we recently found in a French literary
paper, and which we believe will be new
TO a great many Of our readers. The
laureate. OF course. was in the habit Of
receiving a large number OF requests for
his autograph As a rule, he did not
reply. But one day ne was much i'm
pressed by the letter Of the young
daughter Of a country gentleman, and
he sent her not only his autograph, but
an original Quatrain. The girl was ma
turally delighted der father. however.
did not allow her to thank the poet,
but assumed that responsibility himself.
He sent the following letter:
Dear Sir: I have shown your verses
TO the schOoimaster. He finds that the
tails of the g's and the upper part of
the his are very irregular. and that you
also forget to cross your is. Aside
from that. I thank you for your effort -
