Wss Woodruff, Our Expert Hunter & TIappsr Expects to Go With tho President as a Cook & Guide- Wss Has Wrote & Expects to Hear any Minnlt

Yves Woodruff, Bingville's famus hun ter and trapper is all sweat up and eek sited over something which he has saw in a city paper which was sent to the Bingville P. O. by mistake and opened
 on purpus by Eph Higgins our ackom- odating P. M. to find out what the latest news from the outside world mite be. After Eph had took the paper home and had read it through and after his wife had read it through, it was placed in the paper rack where it has laid un- molested for several weeks.
 One evg Yves happened to drop into Eph's residence for a soshial chat and during the course of the conversation Wes made SO bold as to ask Mrs. Hig- gins if she happened to have any reading matter laying loose around the house which would help him to pass away the long winter evgs. at home. Among the litterchoor which Mrs. Higgins gave to Wes was a copy of old almanack, a copy of the Congregational Reckord, half of old dickshionary (tfIat part of the dickshionary after the letter |. had been tore away and was los) and this old copy of a city newspaper hereinbefore referred to. ..
 Wes he took this reading matter all home with him and perseeded to de- vower it. He says the almanack dident appeal to him much being as it was for the year 177o and was too far out of date. He said he couldn't understand the Congregational Reckord and as for the dickshionary the subjeckts in it jumped so swift from one thing to another with nothing much about any one subjeckt in partickler it most wore him out trying to read it.
 In the old copy of the city paper, however, Wes found artickle which said that President Roosevelt soon ex- peckted to take long hunting trip into the wilds of Africky to be gone several months in order to hunt big game and have a rip tearing good time. Yves was so interested in this news that he took the paper down to Hen Weathersbys store and read the artickle out loud to them as was present. Wes stumbled and fell a good 'eal over some of the words being as he is more eckspert hunter and trapper than he is a reader but his hear CTS managed to gather what it was about After Wes had finished reading the ar tickle he folded up the paper and put 1t into his pocket and says with a sly wink q gess you fellers would be some sur- prised if you knowed that l eckpeckt to 20 along with Roosevelt on this hung trip to Africky."
 "You don't say sol" says ED Green in amazement
 Course I say so." says Wes T wrote Roosevelt a letter some time sinst in which I offered to go along with him to Africky and ackt in the capasitv f able bodied glide, cook and general rous- tabout"
 "Where is Africky, anyhow?" says Hen Weathersby. prop. of the general store.
 Wes said he dident know where it was nor dident care, but if Roosevelt wanted him to go along and would pay him doller and half day and found he would go, Yves said he aint had much ecksperience in hunting lions, ti- gers. hippopotamusses and elefants be- ing as he never ketched many of them kritters in his traps, but that he'll go anyhow soon as k~ receives word to
