TEDDY AND KERMIT STILL HUNTING
 BUFFALOES
Both Thoroughly Acclimated and the Colonels Face is Strongly Bronzed From Hot African Winds and Sun.

(By Warrington Dawson, Staff Cor
 respondent of the United Press.)
 Nairobi, British East Africa, May 25.-The United Press correspondent was accorded the privilege of spending Sunday and Monday with the Roose- welt hunting party at it's camp on the Heat1ey ranch and on Monday was permitted to ride with Colonel RooSe- welt on a buffalo hunt All the stories told by the camp followers and run ners of MT. Roosevelt's popularity with the other hunters and the native and of his and Kermit's prowess were fully borne out by your correspondents ob- servations on Mondays hunt. The hunt was rewarded by seven buffaloes whose trail was picked up near the camp. Although the party rode hard no trace of the herd could be found and he and Kermit had to content themselves with shooting smaller game bagged a number of these and estab- lfshed a record by not missing a shot. Kermit, also. had great luck and kill ed a warthog of record size.
 The health of both the Colonel and his son is splendid. They have suffer- ed but lightly from any of the African ailments and are now thoroughly ac- climated and able to endure as much hard work as any of the natives. The ColonePS face, always a f1orid, is now the darkest bronze from the hot Afri- can winds and sun. He is enjoying every minute of his hunting and de. clares he is having so many exciting experiences that it will be hard work for him to select the most interesting for his public narratives. The party will remain here until June 2 when they will start south on a seven weeks, hunting trip under the leadership of M. SelOus, the famous hunter. The object of this hunt will be primarily for elephants and the Colonel looks forward to it with considerable antici- patton.
 Roosevelt concerning the action of some of his friends in New York in proposing him for the next mayoralty candidate. He refused to comment on the subject asking to be excused on the ground that! he had received no official information from New York. He said he had come to Africa for pleasure.

AN ITCHING PALM
No Cure for It. Other Forms of , Itching Preferable.

There is no cure for an itching palm

But when it comes to eczema, the most annoying of itching skin troubles, pos lam will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases in a few days. So with hives, rash, Scabies, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp, all of which are different forms of eczema, accompan- jed by severe itching and caused by imperfect digestion and careless diet.

not so much in the prohibition bus mess as we are iH the instructive business, especially in the school room. We want to inform the child as to the evil effects of these things and he will be voluntary abstainer.
 Teaching a child the effects of intoxicants and tobacco tends no more to make him desire to drink or use tobacco.than does the teaching of the nature of smallpox make him desire to try that dis ease. Those who say that the pro hibiting Of certain practices only stimulates their use. would on the same theory abolish, the, 'Thou shalt nots'' from the Bible. and we are supposed to be talking to peo- p.e who believe in that blessed dec- alOgue.
 To adhere to that argument, would mean in it's last anadysls that we must not teach the child of boorish parents to be- polite or kind or courteous or of s.ovenly parents to be clean and tidy.
 So it is the aim Of the w C T U in the Loyal Temperance Legions and of the teacher in the school room to implant in the minds ol those coming under their influence the mighty seeds of truth that will stand the storms of iniquity and help move this old world upw ard to the clear light of clean living and high thinking.

SHE WAS Gc;NG BATHING.

She was very pretty girl clad in a diaphanous summer gown. She was going to the beach and she didn't care who knew 1t, for she car ried her bathing suit in most primitive fashion. It was simply inclosed in a bath towel, and carried by narrow strap. Shoes, stockings, powder, comb, brush, hairpins and other feminine necessities were not in evidence. Perhaps she dispensed with them. Anyway, she reused the curiosity of car full of people.

A Living Truth

Some great one of earth has said, Il would rather plant a single acorn that would makei an oak of "a century and forest of a thousand years, than SOW thou sand morning glOries that give joy Tor today and are gone tomorrow For the same reason l would rath- CT pant one loving truth in the heart of a child that will multiply through the ages, than scatter a thousand brilliant conceits before a great audience that will flash like sparks for an instant and then like sparks disappear forever
 This is exactly what the faithI
 ful school teachers are doing all over this broad land in the tem.s perance cause. They are day by day installing into the pathetic minds of the youths tha latest facts of science as to the effects Of alcohol and tobacco on the hu- man system. Think you that tho pupil, of good judgement will be guilty of indu,ging in these harm Cu' things when he has been taught that a cohol destroys those won7 derful delicate brain cells that it has taken so long to develop, and upon whose complete development depends the difference between man and animal? Nay, veriiyy
 Some people contend that the very thing that a teacher or par1 ent prohibits a child from doing, is the very thing he will want to do. P6rhaps this is true if a good reason is not given. He is

The results Of an inquiry, mainly
statistical in character, made by the

Mr. Bailey declares that the history
of art instruction in France Germany
and England furnishes ample data for
predicting that in the near future the
relation OF art to industries and 10 ma
tional welfare Will be so keenly ap-
preciated by all our people. that they
Will make more liberal appropriations
TO all effective agencies for furnishing

YesterdaY,s Proceedings.

White Plains, Aug 5.-More of those
stories which have stained the mem
ory of Stanford White, stories that

Square Tower room as told by Evelyn
Nesbit Thaw, were related at the

witnesses called In Harry Thaw's be-
half himself. who testified, hoping TO
show that things he told about White
were not "delusions" and that this
phase OF the states attack on his san
ity is un1ounded.
ThNw may be called again tomorrow.
The attorneys will sum up on Saturday
and Justice Mills hopes to render a
decision next week.

handwriting expert. testifying for

dayit which he said Sue Parker

of White to ruin her when she first
came to New York as Il young chorus
girl.
When Thaw took the stand the dis
trict attorney seemed anxious 10 let
him tell all he knew, evidently with
the hope that the witnesses eagerness
to talk on this theme would show
Justice Mills that he was insane on
the subject
And Thaw %as eager to tell.
This thing | am going to tell you
now" he said, affected me very Sc
riously at the time"

experience of a girl whom he said
White tried to wrong when she was
but sixteen. He said that after win
ming her confidence White lured the
girl to his place on Twenty-tourth
street, New York The girl escaped
through a lucky chance. he said, and
later obtained a large sum OF money
from White under threat OF suit.
After that. he continued. White had
the girl boycotted so that for several
years she could not play an engage
ment at any theater in New York.
This woman now" concluded Thaw,
"is one OF the foremost actresses on
the American stage"
