to cut a notch in stick and begin

The Game Bag In Africa.

The expedition landed on the coast
of Africa at Mombasa and proceeded
inland to Nairobi, where 1t estab-
lished Its base. On the trip up it is
narrated that the colonel rode on the
pilot Of the engine. Riding on the
pilot is no uncommon occurrence in
Africa, though not practiced much in
America, for the reason that it causes
one to collide too violently with the
atmosphere. In the Roosevelt party
were Kermit, the son and ostensible
photographer, although In the END he

father; R. ]. Cuninghame, a mighty

Cannot Escape Publicity.
1t is great thing to be president of
the United States. 1t is greater to be
as big man outside the presidency as
In 1t. Some ex-presidents have raised
chickens, some have become college
lecturers or business men, some have
been elected to congress, and some
have gone into innocuous desuetude.
Only one has become a faunal natural
list and the big noise of two hemi-
spheres. There Is none like him; none
ever was or ever will be- 1t is i'm
possible that there should be anoth.
er like him in this land or any other
beside the seven seas.
Colonel Roosevelt went to Africa to
escape publicity. Did he escape it?
Is 1t possible that he should escape 1t
anywhere? When he is absent people
wonder what he is doing. When he
is present they wonder what he will
do next. There is no keeping such a
man out Of the newspapers. If he
were to hunt for the south pole his
every move would be chronicled. If
he were to live In Zululand. in China
or in Hoboken it would be the same,
The reporters would find him out, and
If they did not find him out they would
write about him anyway. Roosevelt
is a front page character. Tidings of
him run as naturally to display type
as the river flows to the ocean or the
sparks fly upward.
Nobody knows how far he has trav-
eled since he left us, but he has Gov
cred considerable portion Of two con-
tinentS. He has not been as great a
traveller as his successor, but has prob
ably enjoyed it more. He has been
over the least civilized and most civ |
llized parts Of the globe and has been |
equally at home In both. He has gone |
from the virgin jungle to the ancient |
pyramids where Napoleon said forty |
centuries look down upon u.s." He has
tdden camel in Egypt, listened to
he riddle of the sphinx and been met
" racing boat loads of American re-
'orters on the waters Of the Nile. He
as talked volubly, explosively and en-

lania and from Cairo to London.
1t was on March %, 1909, that
'olonel Roosevelt left New York by
be steamer Hamburg bound for the
ark continent. On board he made
imself most popular with the other
assengers by his democratic and I'M
ssuming demeanor and friendllness
