The coons chamber about everywhere, and the other afternoon while I was sit ting reading. I suddenly felt my finger seized in pair of soft paws and found the coon shifting at it, making me feel a little uncomfortable lest it might think the finger something good to eat. The two puppies play endlessly. One of them belongs to Lieutenant Evans. The crew will not be allowed ashore at Panama or else I Know they would pick up q whole raft of other pets there. The jackies seem especial Iy fond of the littel coons A few minutes ago l saw one of the tackles strolling about with a coon perched upon his shoulder. and now and then he would reach up his hand and give it a small piece of bread to eat.

 Skip and Archie
 White House, Oct g, 1906 Dear Kermit:
 Archie is very cunning and has handicap races with Skip. He spreads his legs. bends over, and holds Skip between them. Then he says, '.On shoves Skip back while he runs to the other end of the hall. Skip scram- bling wildly with his paws on the smooth floor until he can get started when he races after Archie, the ob- tect being for Archie to reach the other end before Skip can overtake him.
 A Turkey Hunt at Pine Knob
 White House, Nov. A. 1906. Dear Kermit:
 Just a line to tell you what a nice time we had at Pine Knob. Mother was as happy as she always is there, and as cunning and pretty as possible. As for me, hunted faithfully through all three days, leaving the house at 2 o'clock one day, at the next and at the next, so that I began my hunts in absolute night; tut fortunately we had brilliant moon on each occasion. The first two days were failures. I did not see a turkey. and on each oc- casion when everybody was perfectly certain that I was going to see a turkey, something went wrong and the turkey did not turn up. The last day I was out 13 hours, and you may i'm agine how hungry I was when I got back. not to speak of being tired: though fortunately most of the time I was rambling around on horseback so I was not done out. But in the afternoon at last luck changed, and then for once everything went right

CHICAGO-A number of druggists have called the coroner's office and re- ported that several customers have been purchasing denatured alcohol, which they drink despite the fact that half a dozen deaths have been caused in this city by such experiments.
 "A man who said he had been a chemist and a beer drinker before pro- hibition drove him to stronger bev- erages. explained to me that drinking denatured alcohol was purely a gam ble,' said one druggist. He said if the alcohol is originally a straight grain product, the addition of little car boIic acid, while altering its taste, did not render it dangerous. Alcohol is q perfect antidote for carbolic acid. A certain percentage of alcohol drinkers die violent deaths, but the survivors have told me that they prefer the risk to thirst
