Roosevelt Saved

Ex-President Roosevelt. writing of African.

Describing how he brought down the rhino' with two shots from a new gun. Col. Roosevelt says: - sr
 The huge beast was standing in en- tirely open country. although there were few scattered trees of no great size at some little distance from him.
 We left our horses in. a cip of the cannot say that we stalked him. for the approach was too easy The wind blew from him to us. and a rhfno's g eyesight Is dull
 Thirty yards from where he stood was a bush four orffive feet high and although 1t was so thin that we could distinctly see him through the leaves. it shielded us from the vision of his small pig-like eyes as we advanced to- ward it, stooping and in single dle- l leading
 The big beast stood like an uncouth statue. his hide black in the sunlight: he seemed what he was. a monster surviving over from the worlds past. from the days when the beasts of the prime ran riot in their strength. be- fore man grew so cunning of brain and hand as to master them So little did he dream of our presence that

 Walking lightly. and with every sense keyed up. we at last reacned the bush. and pushed forward the safety of the double-barreTied Holland rifle which I was now to use Tor the nst time on big game.
 As stepped to one side of the bush so as to get a clear aim. with Slater following. the rhino saw me and jump ed to his feet with the agility of a polo pony. As he rose I. put in the right barrel. the bullet going through bosh lungs At the same moment he wheeled. the blood spouting from his nostrils. and galloped full on us
 Before he could get quite all the way around in his headlong rush to reach us I struck him with my left hand barrel the bullet entering be- tween the neck and shoulder and piercing his heart At the same in start Capt Slattcr fired. his bullet en- tering the neck vertebrae- PIoughing up the ground with horn and feet the great bull rhino. still head toward us. dropped just thirteen paces from where we stood

NAMES OF roMNs.

Knoxville Express: Oskaloosa Is a
little sore because outsiders--especial.
ny people in the effete east. who know
|littIe--make fun of her name. Oska-
|loosa is not wise. Names should be
odd, bizarre, distinctive. peculiar, and
have sharp corners and cutting edges
The natural tendency is to rub chem
all smooth like old coins finally, SO
why not enjoy the pristine bloom and
sharpness while we may? 1t is a
hobby of The Express that every Hol
lander should jealousy guard the orig
inal spelling and manner of writing
his name, and not try to Americanize
Iit by changing its spelling or making
This double-prefi surname into one
woodland so of all other nationalities
Such names show and will continue to
show their bearers derivation. And
the Indian names, like 0skaloosa, Ma.
haska, Osceola, Tuscaloosa, Keokuk
Algona, Ottumwa, Oshkosh, Kalama,
zoo, Chicago, etc, are far ahead of the
commonplace plan of affixing an easy
name to each new town. They smack
of the soil and its aboriginal inhabit,
ANTS, while our present system smacks
of nothing unless it be snobbery For
instance, take the towns in this coun-
ty: Can anything be more hopelessly
commonplace or lacking in invention
and distinctiveness than to pick out a
man named Knox and name a town
Knoxville in his honor? Pleasantville
is about as bad, as that village looks
no more pleasant than plenty of 9TH
ers. Antiquity furnished Pella, Attica
and Otley. without any special reason.
Dallas, Columbia, Gosport, Marysyille,
Hamilton-why? Swan, Donley, Flag
ler,' Harvey, Durham, Tracy, Bussey,
Morgan Valley, Everist--all compare
lively recent,and all named after some
local man. Red Rock is a real name
and means something. We haven
any patience with the dull, plodding,
unimaginative asses who lay out a
town and call the east-and-west streets
A, B, c, ETC., and the north-and-south
streets First, Second, Third, etc.
Names of towns, streets, people or any
thing else should mean something, if
possible; whether they do or not, they
should at least have rough edges to
grip ones tongue and adhere to ones
mind. As we look at it, we do not
need nor desire similarity Of names of
places, but should encourage the great
est diversity of looks and sound. So
let not Oskaloosa be troubled. The
Express is willing to trade mild and
conventional name like Knoxville"
for warwhoop like "Oskaloosa" any
time it can be done.

NEW LIGHT On SIBERIA.

In striking contrast to the gloomy
speeches and magazine articles that
made George keenan, famous, comes
this better opinion of Siberia in one
of William E. Curtis letters to the
CHICAGO Record-Herald: q" ~"
Many wise men believe that one
of these days the people of the United
States may be compelled to call upon
Siberia for bread and meat. Far
sighted prophets argue that fifty years

day through the same experience that
this country had forty or fifty years
ago. We are accustomed to regard
Siberia as a bleak and desolate re
gion, with groups OF political exiles
around the fires of their cabins weep
ing over their sufferings and sacrificea
under the tyranny of the car. On
the contrary, a great part of Siberia
millions upon millions of acre5--is
quite as comfortable as the northern
sections of the United States; the soil
is as fertile as that of the great prai-
ries of Canada, and while there have
been many cases OF atrocious injus
tice and cruelty in the treatment OF
innocent people by the Russian pc
lice, that government could not have
done agreater kindness to the ordinary
exile than it did when it sent him

fertile section OF the empire.

exceptions. have suffered no more
hardships and have enjoyed quite as
much prosperity as the pioneers who
