CAPTAIN HANS RUSER.

The Skipper In Charge of Liner Bring
 ing Colonel Roosevelt Home.
 When Colonel Roosevelt selected the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria to bring him back to America probably the happiest skipper on land or sea was Captain Hans Ruser, who is in charge of this mighty vessel. for he has long been one of the colonels greatest ad- mirers. From the moment the ship sailed the two became fast friends. and when jungle stories were not be- ing told Rnser was relating his adven- lures. of which he has had his share.

Just to show her what "her Charlie" could do he per formed some unprecedented gliding, soaring and twisting stunts that set the spectators into an ecstasy of ex- citement. After watching the thrilling feats for a time the aviator's mother said: ..#
 'Now know what it is that Charley has always had in him that did not have a chance to come out until they invented the aeroplane. Ever since he was knee high to a grasshopper he has been dickering with flying machines, and it has cost us more for arnica and bandages than for household expenses. Why, he was jumping off the barn with my best parasols before he was in knickerbockers."
 An amusing trick of Hamilton's at Mineola on one occasion was the chas- ing of dog in his airship. A black dog ran out and parked as the aviator flew by overhead. Hamilton swooped down toward him and drove him out on to the plains; then suddenly turn ing round in no more space than an automobile would require, he swooped again and again, playing around in circles. till the poor dog tried to bury himself in hole. Hamilton predicts great future foi the airship.
