New York Oct 21.-TheodOre Roose-
welt writing in the November Humoer

pressions and experiences on an East
African ranch-Which i'll many ways
reminded him of early days on the
plains of the Great West. ard then
ni,lnres directly into an account of his
first encounters with big African
game.
The dangerous game of Africa" he
SAYS, ARE the lion, buffalo, elephant,
rhinoceros and leopard. The hunter
who follows any of these ANNALS al
ways does so at a certain risk to life
or limb: a risk which it is his business
to minimize by cool action, good judg-
ment and straight shooting"
Mr.. Roosevelt devotes consdera BILE

Now, an elderly man with varied
mast which includes rheumatism, does
not vault lightly into the saddle, as
his sons, for instance, can; and L had
already made up my mind that in the
event Of the lions charging it would
be wise for me to trust to straight
powder rather than to try TO scramble
into the saddle and get under way in

Il could still not see the lion when

looking first at one group of horses and
then at the other, his tail flashing to
and fro, his head held low and his lips
dropped over his mouth in peculiar
fashion, While his harsh and savage
growing rolled thunderously over the
plains. Seeing Simba and me he turn

and quicker.
Resting my elbow on Simba's bent
shoulder, I took steady aim and press
ed the trigger. The bullet went In be-
tween the neck and shoulder, and the
lion fell over On his side, one fore leg
in the air. He recovered in a moment
and stood up, evidently very sick, and
once more faced me, growing hoarsely

bridge had been constructed across the
Saco river without due respect for

threatened TO fall. the designer tele-
scoped another bridge into 1t in such a
curious way that the fall OF the whole
structure was even more imminent.

after tees and persistent calculations.
