 Perhaps not a little of his charm will come from the vividness of his imag- nation, as when he tells of the famo ous ''side-hill w1nder,' or tells, as some of the famous guides do, of the trout which, after long years of training, fell out of his little pail into the lake and was drowned, or of the baby bea- yer which one of them brought up on bottle and which used to pile the chairs and tables and other odd fur niture at the door in the hope of building a dam.
 It is estimated by good judges that about 10000 deer are killed In Maine every year. As to the number of deer in the state, estimates vary, but old hunters who have spent their lives in the woods say that the deer population is not far from 1OO,0 so that a kill of 10000 annually would take 10 per cent; from the supply-a drain which should be fully made up by the natural in- creases of the animals.
 The moose, which is the grandest game in America, is not as numerous in Maine as formerly; it is for moose that st41e-.veteran and skilled sports men go hunting. Almost any man who knows how to handle a rifle can shoot a deer, especially when he has a good guide to start out the game for him, but it requires steady nerve, courage and patience to get a moose.
 Deer are to be found almost any, where, at almost any time, but are frequently seen in droves of twenty or thirty, but the moose generally "focks by himself or each pair or family by itself, and he is wary, speedy and pug nacious. In the rutting season a bull moose is about as dangerous a cus- toner as one would care to meet and it frequently happens that he turns the tables and hunts the hunters.
 A few years ago it looked al if the moose species would be exterminated in Maine, but since then, under the protection of wise laws, the animals have somewhat increased in numbers.
 A directory of Maine guides is pub lished by the Maine Central Railroad and a copy will be sent free if you write to the Sportsmans Bureau, Room 574 South station, Boston, Mass.

 The only concession Roosevelt made to the intense heat was a soft collar much too large for him, which seemed to buckle into a roll like a towel. His vest remained on and so did his coat You're no .progressi.ve'' he shouted at one man at a shert stop, who had in tended to wriggle into his coat when he saw the colonel You ought to keep off that garment
 Throughout today in his speeches. the colonel developed the policy he ao- vocated strongly at Phoenix, last night, that of the recall of all public officials.

GIBBONS FEARS EQUAL SUFFRAGE WOULD
 INCREASE DIVORCE

St. Louis, Mo, Sept. 1S.-Cardfna1 Gibbons told $50 men at the City Club luncheon yesterday afternoon that if a historian ever had cause to write the Decline and Fall of the American Republic it would not be due to an invading army, but to the criminal sloth and negligence and the political apostasy of our own citizens.
 Before his address he said in an authorized interview:
 Equal suffrage, in my opinion, would tend toward increasing divorce, which is a social blot on the United States, and is the greatest evil of the day. If women had equal political rights with men ther is a probability that on the slightest provoca ton she would seek divorce Given such equal ity they might overstep the bounds too prone to go to the divorce courts, and political equality might make them more so. It might have the eff feet of turning their heads.
 Divorce is now too easy to get. If a husband leaves home for couple of weeks and his wife wants freedom she is likely to use his absence pretext. Nowadays if a woman can not get a divorce in her own state she goes off to Nevada. where it is made
 s'one Of the worst features of the divorce evil is it's bad effect upon children. When parents separate it means separation of children, of children, of brothers and sisters Chill dref thus bereft of proper family in huences are likely to go astray.
 Divorce is increasing in the United States. The evil prevails here more generally than in any other country. We must get back to the gospel The laws should be made more strict, so that it would not be so easy to, dis rupt the marriage ties on fimsy pre- texts''

 The .'six powers group, with it's of fcial diplomatic backing, had counted, sooner or later, on starving the new republic into accepting it's terms for a Ioan-terrns which would not only have netted the bankers an enormous financial profit but would virtually have given them control Of the gov ernment.
 When the government dernurred the group sat back to wait. An unofficial Belgian syndicate which attempted some time ago to break into the sit Hation, was successfully steered off.

Some of the lines of this suit are familiar, but the rich seal brown ma terial is decidedly of the newest shade. The collar, fastened around the throat and faced with Oriental embroidery in brilliant coIors, is also new. The V-shaped space below it is covered with lace ruffles, which turn back over the revers when the collar is buttoned
 All the braiding is done in brown and girdle of basket weave braid exactly matches all. The skirt has a slash with 9. pleat at each side.
