is typical of the African sportsman and is declared
to know about game in this section OF the
world than any other game expert
No more unique sight was ever presented tic
the casual observer than that which met my eye
when alighted from a Uganda railway coach at
Kapiu Plains. where Mr. Roosevelt and his army
grouped. The station is on Sir Alfred Pease's
ranch estate. it is known here
THE Plains consists OF hardly more than the
sgnboard which tells its name. Mr.. Roosevelt's
army was drawn up about him. the ex-president
was conversfng with Hunter Cuninghame and the
former executives gunbearer. Abdaah bin Said
was awaiting orders from his chief OF the army
Abdallah is most devoted to his master and the
frequent lashings which the heads of the exped
ton are often compelled to administer to quell
impending mutiny are never necessary with this
character. He is unique type of African and be-
cause of his good qualities he commands better
pay than the rest of his fellows
The man who aided Mr.. Roosevelt in getting
his expedition ready cautioned him against asking
any of his servants to do duties for which any of
the others were hired.
The labor union instinct is second nature with
the attache of the African hunting expedition Let
a gun bearer try to do the work of porter or
bush heater and there is in camp at once
Neither may the game carriers beat the game into
sight Perhaps this system is for the best after
all for the reason that every man specializes and
therefore is able to do his allotted work to a
better advantage.
1t is said here that MI Roosevelt's entire expe
dition will cost between $4,000 and $4,000 which
to an American hunter may seem an enormous
price. But hunting wild game in Africa is a heavy
undertaking and in order through with such
a task that amount of money is actually neces-
sary. But the party is getting results and that is
what they figure is the proper viewpoint
Having arrived in the Stoik district Kermit and
his father had plenty of game upon which to exhibit
their prowess. The younger Roosevelt Immediately
set about establishing hunting record by bagging
the biggest lion which. up to that time had found
its way to the taxdermst of the party In the Stoik
district Mr.. Roosevelt shot many bufaloes. their
skins being preserved for the Smithsonian insti-
tuition.

Use of Cold Cream and Avoidance
Of sudden Changes Of Tempera-
ture Are Important.

The greatest dangers to the skin Of
the face with housekeeping lie in fire
and dust. The face. like the hands,
should be washed twice day-that is,
well washed-but with soap only at
night. If the morning sweeping has
coated it with dust, take this on first
with cold cream and a soft rag. Pre-
pare the bath with warm or hot
water. / find hot most beneficial-use
an oily soar and see that the face
cloths are frequently changed and
always summed after using. Never for
get for a moment that the skin of the
face is more delicate than that Of any
part of the body. and that swift
changes of temperature, such as going
directly from hot fire into a cold
cellar, are very injurious to It. This
tends to thicken and harden the skin
to give 1t the coarse, badly-treated
look which the faces Of SO many hard
worked women present.

every summer. A regular hay-rack
wagon met them at the station; it had
boards across the side so no one could
spill out and was gayly decorated
with sunfiowers, boughs of trees and
cattails.
The unique feature of this picnic
was in the serving of refreshments.
Each child was given a wooden plate
and a paper napkin. Then over the
grounds were interesting booths,
shaded by large green and white UNI
brellas. They were also placarded
No. 1, No. 2. etc. There was grown
person to lead at the head of the pro-
cession. The first stop was No. l.,
which proved to be lemonade" with
big porcelain cup for each child.
No. 2 was sandwiches, cold meats, po-
tato salad and olives. Here the
guests sat in semi-circle on a big
rug. Then they progressed to No. g.,
and had ice cream; then to No. 4,
where the booth had bonbons and
fruit. No. 5 had piles of little bags,
and was the starting point for a pea
nut; some were gilded, some silvered,
and some tied with blue ribbon. The
gold nuts scored 20, silver 10 and
blue ribbons were 5. The one who
had the highest score won a prize,
the next highest and the lowest also
had rewards. Altogether it was a
most successful affair.

To Kermit Roosevelt the expedition has been
a source of wonderment and pleasure Every
thing was new to him. He had read about the
righteousness of darkest Africa but had never
been given opportunity to even peer into the
confines of real lion hunting camp.
At the present writing both Kermit and his
father in the best of health. both wearing a

A short time ago Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
American mission near here and he expressed
doing for the African savage. The morning of
the day he visited the mission he spent in hunt
ing Culubra monkeys and succeeded in shooting
several, which were added to the list of spec
mems.
officials here have expressed the belief that
Mr.. Roosevelts bagging of game is justifable in
view of the fact that his specimens being
secured for the purpose of stocking up the

A fagot party is not new. but this
way of conducting one has new fea-
lures: A circle of pine trees was the
setting for little fireplace made of
stones, on which paper and dry twigs
were ready to be touched off.
Each guest was presented with a
bundle of fagots to which was at
tached number; duplicate number
was given out. The hostess re-
quested the guest who drew No. to
look at the fagots; if he had No. the
bundle was laid on the blaze. and he
had to tell a story, sing a song or
dance jig while the fagots burned
1t really was another way of conduct
ing a stunt party. One guest re-
cited some clever negro dialect,
bits she had collected while in the
south: man gave some college
stories; a sweet singer rendered some
Hawaiian love songs which she
learned from the natives while on the
island. The result was very good.
There were IL guests and IL bundles
Of fagots burned underneath the tall
pines. Refreshments were served on

KANSASWOMAN ON TRIAL
Accused in Kansas City of Violating
Divorce Laws.

Kansas City, Feb. PA woman 80
years old sat in Judge Porterfields di-
vision of the criminal court yesterday
afternoon. She wore a pretty blue hat
and blue tailor made gown. A baby,
"a years old, played around her chair
and her husband. Stephen A. Smith.
Jr-. a travelling salesman living at 3808
East Ninth street, sat by her side. The
woman was to be tried for bigamy. Her
accuser. Theodore w. Glynn, 65 years
old, from whom she obtained a divorce
in McLouth, Kan, sat across the room.
The case involves the application OF
the divorce laws in Kansas and In
Missouri Glynn employed a special
prosecutor to press the charge against
his former wife. The special prosecutor
asserts that the laws in Kansas re-
quire that six months elapse before
divorced person may marry again and
that a decree is not in full force and
effect until the end of that time.
Mrs. Smith. it is asserted by the
prosecutor, went to ST. Joseph, Mo, and
was married the second time before the
six months had elapsed.
The divorce laws of Missouri do not
require six months to elapse before
another marriage. Her defense is that
she did not violate the law of Missouri,
where she is being tried, and that she
had no knowledge of the technicalities
or the provisions of the Kansas divorce
laws. She says she thought the day the
Kansas judge granted her divorce she
had a right to be remarked at any
time.
