cANNIRALs AWAIT ROOSEVELT
A French Hunter of Renown Warns
the President to Be Careful.

New York.-Henri Gauliard, an ex-
official of the French government, has
written to Secretary Loeb offering his
services to President Roosevelt as
guide on the hunting trip the latter
has planned in Africa after his retire
ment from the White House. Mr..
Gauliard, during his stay in the French
colonies, was himself something Of a
Nimrod. He shot seven elephants and
many Important, although he modest
ly disclaims any great prowess, and
speaks gently Of hungry cannibals who
prefer white men to feast on.
After leaving the French govern
ment service he travelled around the
world in the search of health, and is
now in the employ of the Chateau Des
Beaux Arts at Huntington, L. 1.
Altogether in Mr.. Gauliard's expert
ence the most dangerous animal in his
part of Africa is the buffalo. But If
there is not much risk from the ami
mails, there is some from the natives. In
his district they were all cannibals.
They eat human flesh every day"
he said They keep slaves and eat
them when they are ready. Have
seen them? Only once 1t is diff
cult, very difficult to assist at their
fetes. But l know that many white
men have been eaten. They prefer a
white man when they can get him. II
I had not had many soldiers with me
they would have eaten me-"
The housekeeping bride was partic-
ular to keep a flower or two in a vase
on the dining-room table. One after
noon she came in late and started
to arrange some roses when her col
ored maid exclaimed:
"Oh, you got some, did you? l was
afraid you'd forget, seeing it was so
late, and | knowed we had to have
something green; so just fixed it."
The bride went into the dining
room. In the center of the mahogany
table stood one of her handsomest
vases full of romaine salad, leaves.

PLAN THEATER ON TRAIN.
Frenchmen Win Provide amusement
for Travellers.

Paris.-A company is being formed
IN Paris, under the craftsmanship of q
wellknown theatrical amateur, for
the purpose of providing amusements
/ for travellers in trains on long-distance
journeys.
The idea is to add a theater car to
every fast express, so that travellers
going at night from Paris to the Ri
viera, for instance, instead of sleeping
in their berths, book a stall in the
theater car and attend a performance.
The car is to be so arranged as to
resemble small theater, with stalls
to accommodate so or 60 passengers
with stage at one end. The 'orches,
ira, It is proposed, shall be limited to
piano, a eornet and a flute. The per-
formance is to be continuous one, or
broken up into several series.
Musical carriages have already been
adopted on some Of the continental
railways. The musical carriage is a
special compartment in which travel
ers may beguile the tedium of the
journey by listening to the strains of
a band or to songs rendered by capa-
bic and efficient vocalists. Spain, by
the way, was the first country in
which musical carriages were tried,
and it was the means of making for
tune for one nearly bankrupt railway
company.
To popularize a German line the
company recently engaged the Services
Of q well-known humorist to give leo
lures during the journey. The expert
ment has been considered successful,
and has been adopted permanently.
An admission fee is charged to pas
sengers to enter the lecture car, the
lecture being repeated two or three
times during the journey.
