Skinny. almost aenemic, needing q
neck shave, with a blonde mustache
mostly fuzz. Kermit Roosevelt, son OF
tbe mighty hunte, was here Saturday
afternoon on his way home to New 1osk
from a hunting trip in Mexican Cah-
fornia.
As the son of his father Kermit has
none of the characteristics of the illus
trious one. Slender as a sapling, with a
long neck. pair of clothes pin. legs and
a neck as long as his fathers is fat, he
is of a different type
Kermit arrived on the Golden State
limited. sent a telegram back TO his
folks. bought Navajo bracelet from
the curio shop at the station, inspected
his four woody mountain sheep which he
was taking back alive, and left on the
same train for tenderfoot land. Young
Roosevelt wore a green felt hat with the
bow in the back, suit of no particular
color or pattern and which fitted him
like it had been. tailored to order for a
scarecrow, and a pair of shoes badly run
over at the heels.
Kermit shakes hands like a society
woman and smiles like sick spaniel.
He had had a good hunt. He had also
captured four sheep. Aside from that he
was as noncommital as an indian.
