 Seldom does one hear of a student crossing three oceans. the Indian.

London club man and now owner of 10000 acres of land in British East Africa, 15.OOo of which are now under cultivation, crude though it is. being seeded to wheat.

 In speaking of the hunting trip of Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. Sewall had the following to say:
 Col Theodore Roosevelt has only begun to learn of the enormous quanti- ties of game which swarm in British East Africa. Uganda and the lakes. There is a revelation ahead of him when he treks westward to Lake Vic toria The country is absolutely pack ed with all kinds of wild animals elephants. lions. antelope, buffalo. hip pos. topi. waterbucks. hartbeeste, leop- ards and rhinos. In that locality alone he can shoot enough to fill every room in the Smithsonian institution.

There are vast commer- cial possibilities in the continent which men of business are just begin ming to realize. Of course. just as it takes a little capital to go hunting there, so, too. 1t takes capital to make investments. But it's grand country for both hunter and investor-the las. frontier of the world

Are You an InhnBtants ~

Are You an Inhnhitantf My friend. have you heard of the town
 of Yawn,
 On the banks of the River Slow, Where blooms the Waitawhile flower
 fair. Where the Sometimeorother scents the
 air, And the soft Goeasys grow? It lies in the valley of Whatstheuse, In the province of Letherslide; That tired feeling Is native there. It's the home of the listless Idontcare. Where the Putitofrs abide. The Putitoffs never make up their
 mind,
 Intending to do it to-morrow; And so they delay from day to day, Till business dwindles and profits
 decay, And their days are full of sorrow.

MAY WAR ON LORINER.

Conservatives Expected to Ask for
Full Report on the Case.
Unusual interest has been aroused IN
the case Of Senator Lorimer which VIII
come before the Senate soon after the
holidays. There are limitations now
that several Republican Senators. not
classed ordinarily as Insurgents" have
been studying the record Of the Lorimer
case submitted 10 the Senate by the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
since the holiday adjournment. and have
expressed themselves as shocked by the
testimony.
It need create no surprise, IL is said,
il one or more of the Republican con-
.servauves in the Senate should be found
leading an attack upon the conclusions
of the committee when the case comes up
for consideration.
Some of the Senate leaders feel that il
would be unfortunate II the case as sub
mtted should be allowed 10 pass without
a challenge except from insurgent Repub-
ncan Senators. They believe that the
administration Senators should show as
keen an interest in protecting the good
name OF the Senate against the sugges-
ton OF corrupt methods in the election OF
its members as the insurgents are exhib-
iting.
The testimony in the case, disclosed by
the record, is such that some things viii
