AMAZED AT STORIES
PEOPLE OF NAIROBI THINK

American Newspapers Tell Great Yarns
About the Hunters and Party-Names
of Animals Killed Are Imaginary and
Killing of Big Game Is Ordinary
Sport for Natives.

Correspondence to New York from
Nairobi, British East Africa, says: The
reading public here has found vast
amusement in press clippings from
America dealing with the game-killing |
experiences of Colonel Roosevelt. While |
recognizing the prowess of the former
president they are somewhat amazed
at the effect of his achievements upon
the minds of his countrymen, particu-
larly at the incredulity expressed in
some instances toward very ordinary
happenings and the trusting faith in
other cases with which some really
outrageous yarns are accepted.
They smile at Americans receiving
with skepticism the fact that Colonel
Roosevelt has been charged by hip
popotomi in Lake Naihava, killing
few and escaping scot free, and yet
taking readily to stories of the bagging
of strange birds and mammals which
have hitherto triumphantly lodged

COURT SETTLES 1T.
Determines Where CastelIane Child
rem Shall Be Educated.

Paris, Oct. 29.-The court which
has had under advisement the case of
Count Boni De Castellane against his
former wife. the present Princess De
Sagan. growing out of the difference
as to how their two eldest sons should
be educated. has returned its decision.
The court rebuked both the count and
the princess for their disagreement in
the matter of schooling their child
rem and ordered the Judgment of May
81 last put into immediate effect
This earlier judgment provided that in
the event of disagreement in the
matter between the parents, the boys
be sent as resident pupils to the Lycee
of Janson, where the court said they
would be certain to find proper medi-
cal attention. The petition of the
count that the defendant be penalized
500 daily for each child so long as she
failed to obey the order was rejected,
and the costs of the case were divid-
ed between the two parties
Following the judgment of last May
the princess has deferred placing the
children in the school as directed. on

Washburn on Edge for the X.
q. Game.
Light Signal Practice Tonight
Will End 1t.
MEN IN GOOD SHAPE.
Coach Weede Says They Were
Never Better.
University Will Start Game
With It's Stars.

The Washburn football team has re-
ceived it's last heavy work before the
game with Kansas tomorrow. With a
very light signal practice tonight, the
Blue will be in readiness and Coach
Weede says the men are in the best
condition possible for the squad at this
period of the season.
In the blackboard lecture last night
in a college lecture room. the coach
put the men through all the formations
OF the offense and then placed them all
on defense for such of the university
plays as have been learned. That there
is no play to be met tomorrow with
which the Blue is not now familiar is
probable indeed.
The last two nights of practice have
sprung a change in the lineup follow
ing the realization by the coach that
Gerald Benton was doing some excel
lent work. His tackling has been noted
with special joy and he will be placed
at the right tackle position where he
will have an opportunity of carrying
the ball. Benton has been working
hard all season. He is very young but
Of large frame and weighs near $50
pounds. With a few more years added

a well muscled man and weighs about

Carl Pleasant on his one side as half
back. and Clyde Magill, the new find,
at the other half. johnson will play
quarter. It will be noticed that
neither Bond or r. Smith. alias "Big"
Smith appear in the lineup. Bond
has not been quite himself in the last
few games. and the coaches want to
give him a chance to get in condition
for the Cornhusker bout. R. Smith
who played such a superb game all
during the last season on the fresh
men team and of whom so much
was expected this year, has never done
justice to himself since the Oklahoma
game S. 18th allowed the iSooners to
get through in the line. and in the
Manhattan game he did not succeed
In holding the $.Aggie" line. Kennedy
says that Smith has it in him, and he
believes that the "big boy just isn't
in a physical condition. When Smith
played on the freshman team last year
he bucked against the varsity, and
his was the real kind of football. That
the coaches believe Smith will get in
condition before the Nebraska or
Iowa game at least, is evidenced from
the fact that they. continue to keep
him on the training table, when in all
there are but seventeen men at this
festive board. The new members
added within the past few days are
McGiH. Ammons, Brownlee and Ford.
A special train will be run to To-
peka Saturday to accommodate the
university students and others.
The officials for the game are DR.. D.
A. Reilly of Kansas City Athletic
club, referee; Lieutenant Thompson
of Fort Riley. umpire; Stewart of
Baker, field judge, and SamueIs of
Emporia, head linesman.
