St Paul, Oct. 2S.-St. Paul minis
ters have gone on record against the
selection of Sunday for Doctor Cooks
lecture on the North Pole. This is
the only day he could be secured and
the auditorium, the largest building
thrown open for an address not saw
oring of a religious nature on sun
day, for the first time was crowded.
Ministers who talked of the subject
we're of the unanimous opinion that
the date selected was a mistake.
Sunday is a day of worship and
rest" said Or. II. II. Wilson, pastor
of the Central Presbyterian church.
The low spiritual condition of the
country is due, in large measure, TO
the general misuse of the Sabbath. -

Mr.. R. D. Cuninghame. Mr.. Roosevelts hunter
is typical of the African sportsman and is declared
to know more about game in this section of the
world than any other game expert
No more unique sight ever presented to
the casual observer than that which met my eye
when alishted from a Uganda railway coach at
Kapit Plains. where Mr.. Roosevelt and his army
grouped. The station Is Sir Alfred Pease's
ranch estate, as it is known here
"The Plains consists of hardly than the
signboard which tells its name. Mr. Roosevelts
army" drawn up about him. the eX-president
was conversing with Hunter CuninEhame and the
former executives gunbearer, Abdallah 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
tion 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 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 a porter or
bush heater and there is war 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 speciazes and
therefore is able to do his own allotted work to
better advantage.
1t is said here that Mr. Roosevelt's entire expe-
dtion will cost between SIS 900 and $50 900. which
to an American hunter may seem an enormous
price, But hunting wild game in Africa is heavy
undertaking and in order to go through with such
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 the taxidermist Of the party In the Stok
district Mr.. Roosevelt shot many buffaloes their
skins being preserved for the Smithsonian inst-

ing and before the expedition weighs anchor
for other shores probably 1000 more will have
reached the taxidermists
Lions, wildebeests antelopes. giraffes, hippo
potami. rhinoceri. tigers, monkeys and dozens OF
other varieties are among the trophies Of the
chase.
To Kermit Roosevelt the expedition has been
a source of wonderment and pleasure. Every
thing new to him. He had read about the
mysteriousness of darkest Africa but had never
been given an opportunity to even peer into the
confines of real lion hunting camp.
At the present writing both Kermit and his
father are in the best of health, both wearing
swarthy tan which is darker than the Jungle
stained khaki suits in which most Of the hunting
is done.
short time ago Mr.. Roosevelt visited the
American mission near here and he expressed
pleasure at the work which the organization is
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 added to the list of speci-
mems.
Officials here have expressed the belief that
Mr.. Roosevelts bagging of game is justiaable in
view of the fact that his specimens are being
secured for the purpose of stocking up the
Smithsonian institution at Washington.
Perhaps the biggest test of Rooseveltian siren
uosity came when the party crossed the desert
west of this city. In this instance they were
compelled to 60 for more than a week without
procuring water. All the liquid refreshment they
had was carried with them in great water skins,
suitable for this purpose.
Bwana Tumbo. which is African expression
of reverence was the nickname which Mr. Roose
velt's native servants soon attached to him, and
when I met the ex-president at Kapti Plains
station. where he was obliged to stop during his
travels, he seemed pleased to be reminded of
the fact that he had struck a responsive chord

which they did.
With his encourage riding in the passenger
compartments of primitive Uganda railway
coach, Mr.. Roosevelt gave real strenuosity ex-
hibition by daring Acting Governor Jackson to
ride with him on the cowcatcher. He said there
was more breeze on the front of the train any
way Mr.. Jackson and Mr.. Roosevelt then stopped
the outfit and took positions of vantage ahead OF
the fireman and engineer.
This tickled the Britishers Nobody had ever
thought of riding on the front of an engine be-
fore in East Africa. They had always done the
most commonplace thing by seating themselves
on the cushions" So because he was different
from their kind, they liked the American from
the start.

gine. being union engine. refused to work over
eight hours and gave out The next day the ride
was repeated and to-day half the British East

Once on Sir George MacMian's ranch the
real sport of the expedition commenced
MacMian's ranch is a notorious hangout for
man-eating lions. They roar around the ranch
at night and tear up things generally. Colorado
mountain lions were easily beneath the hunting
