CAN'T ANSWER THEM.
Colonel Roosevelt Is Swamped With
Letters From Home.

Nairobi, B. E. A, Aug. 21.-Theo-
dore Roosevelt has received many let
ters from the United States containing
all kinds of requests with which it is
impossible for him to comply, and
which it is equally impossible for him
to even answer. He has no one to
whom he can dictate his correspond
ence or who does typewriting for him
and he has been obliged to leave the
great bulk of these letters unanswered.
The petitions are of every conceiv-
able nature. including requests for live
wild animals for geological gardens,
for skins of dead animals, for large
snakes, for birds eggs, for teeth and
claws of lions, and tigers, requests for
plants, for picture postcards, which
are naturally not to be found in the
African wilderness. and for all kinds
of other objects, including even picked
meat and dried meat of game. Not
only is it impossible for such requests
to be granted, but it is impossible for
Colonel Roosevelt even to attempt to
answer the letters.
The time he has for writing is more
than occupied by the work he does for
a New York magazine.

The matter was reported to the po-
lice and sheriff at once and in fifteen
minutes three racing automobiles

the Young cousin who just came to
the city last night and did not know
the circumstances, if he wished to
buy some toilet soap. She then open

At his move Bellnap threw himself
against the big robber and as result
the man grabbed the muzzle end of
the gun and struck BeIlnap across the

Young man to reel back into the room
and before he could regain his feet
the man had made another lunge at
the child-but missed.
Mrs Thompson, the mother of Mrs.

when she saw what was happening In
the room she took in the situation at

down the stairs.
BY this time Bellnap had regained
consciousness and made one more at

But he was struck again and could
