Nairobi, British East Africa, Oet. 19.—Mr. Cresswell, a government engi neer in the public works department at Myoi, came into Nairobi and brought word that Mr. Roosevelt had a very narrow escape when shooting his first elephant bull. When shooting elephant ! it is often necessary to creep into the herd and shoot the selected bull at a range of fifteen to thirty vards. Mr. Roosevelt, accompanied by Mr. Cunningham, the big game hunter and guide, followed this procedure and kill- ed his elephant at the second shot. Suddenly, before Mr. Roosevelt could load, another elephant bull charged him at close range from the herd. Both Mr. Cunningham and Mr. Roosevel got behind trees, and Mr. Cunningham fired and turned the bull from Mr. Roosevelt just in time.

San Francisco, Oct. 19. — Joaquin Miller, poet of the Sierras, in an ad dress to San Quentin prison convicts declared that President Roosevelt and his policy of a strenuous life are re sponsible for more evils and crime in this country than any other cause. After warning the convicts against the evils of lying, Joaquin sald: “There is something wrong with the way people in this country live. They are too strenuous, too active, too high aroused. Roosevelt, as the head of | this great nation, rushed the people | into all sorts of crime. His strenuous | theory of life is crimeful. He has in. | fected us with a sort of insane activ ity. It is a mania peculiar to uz, and Roosevelt is responsible for much | of it.” i i i DRILLING FOR COAL | Boring Operations For Anthracite Com | menced Near Stroudsburg, Pa. | Stroudsburg, Ps.

Tire Themselves Getting Ready. Washington Irving tells a story of a man who tried to jump over a hill He went back so far to get his start for the great leap and ran so hard that he was completely exhausted when be came to the bill and bad to lie down and rest. Then he got up and walked over the hill. A great many people exhaust themselves getting ready to do their work. They are always pre- paring. They spend their lives get- ting ready to do something which they never do. It is an excellent thing to keep improving oneself, to keep grow- ing, but there must be a time to begin the great work of life. 1 know a man who is almost forty years old who has not yet decided what he is going to do. He bas graduated from college and taken a number of postgraduate courses, but all along general ling He has pot yet begun to speciall This man fully believes he is going to do grent things yet.

The average author would probably laugh at the statement that at ome time in the world's history mapu- scripts, simply as such, irrespective of the nature of the text. were immense- ly valuable. In ancient times manu- scripts were Important articles from a commercial point of view. They were excessively scarce and were preserved with the utmost care. Even the usur- ers were glad to lend money on them when the owners were obliged to offer them in pawn. It is related in an ancient tome that a student of Pavia, who was reduced by his debaucheries, raised a8 new fortune by leaving in pawn a manuscript of a body of law, and a grammarian who was ruined by a fire rebuilt his house with two small volumes of Cicero through the ready aid of the pawnbroker.

Barrill, the guide who tccompanied Dr. Frederick A. Cook on the attempted ascent of Mount Mc- Kinley, in Alaska, in 1906, and who has been quoted in news dispatched during the past few days as saying Dr. Cook did not reach the summit of the mountain, is quoted extensively in the New York Globe in a long state- ment, which begins: “I, Edwin N. Bar- rill, being first duly sworn, do on oath depose and say,” ete. The Globe's published affidavit of Barrill then goes into detail about the various stages of the trip, in which the guide absolutely denies that Dr. Cook ever reached a height of even 10,000 feet, whereas Dr. Cook in his book describing the ascent says the mountain is over 20,000 feet high. Bar- rill says that the illustration in Dr. Cook's book labeled “The Summit of Mount McKinley,” was photographed, according to the affidavit, at a point fourteen miles from the summit. The photograph shows Barrill him- self waving an American flag. The al- titude of the spot shown, according to the guide's sworn statament, was “ac- cording to Dr. Cook him-eif” not over 9000 feet. Barrill says it did not ex- ceed 8000 feet. { Concerning his entries in his diary, Barrill says: “As shown by my diary, we took to the ice on Sept. 9. From and including the 9th down to and in- cluding the 18th of Sevtember, all writings in my diary are by me, but were made under the direction of Dr. Cook. 1 also changed the dates dur ing this tim» under his direction. The figures 12,000 on the date of Sept. 12 were changed by me at the dictation of Dr. Cook. On Sept. 12 Dr. Cook directed me to stop keeping my diary and leave the pages therein blank. 1 cannot now remember the exact dates or figures which I had in my diary be- fore 1 was so directed to change them, but I know the elevation under what now appears Sept. 12 was not to ex- coed 9000, and I think it was 8000.” Crane Resigns by Request. Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, min- {ster designate to China, was practi cally deposed by a demand from Sec- retary Knox for his resignation. The history of this extraordinary af- fair, which began about a week ago with the announcement that Minister Crane had been stopped at San Fran- cisco at the moment of embarkation for his post by a demand from Secre- tary Knox for his return to Washing- ton, reached at least its first crisis when the secretary in a formal state- ment announced that Mr. Crane's resignation had been invited, and the minister designate replied in an equally formal statement that while his resignation already had been ten- dered to the president, he felt himself very unjustly treated. Moreover, Mr. Crane in his statement reflected very severely upon the officials of the state department, charging that not only had they refrained from giving him the ingtructions usually issued to a min- ister or ambassador about to leave for his post, but that he had been denied access to them even after he had made repeated appointments with them. He enters a sweeping denial of the charge that he “gave out” a newspa- per story which is said to be the cause of his deposition, and places squarely upon the shoulders of President Taft the responsibility for the various ut- terances he has made regarding con- ditions in the Far East which have aroused the ire of Secretary Knox, and for final action upon his resignation. Storm Again Brings Death In South. With the known death list reachin~ a total of thirty-seven lives, and with thirteen others reported dead, with scares seriously injured and many oth- ers painfully bruised and scarred, and with the property damage running into a million dollars or more, the havoc and destruction of the storm, which swept middl. and west Tennessee, Ala- bama. Georgia and portions of Arkan- sas and South Carolina early Friday morning, grows hourly as reports are received from remote points and as wire communication is gradually re- sumed to a normal condition. The storm was the worst that has visited this section of the south in years.

Lived 18 Hours Under Capsized After living in the forepeak rapeized vessel in Tangier sound, near Crisfield, Md., for eighteen hours, James O'Donnell, one of a crew of six thought to have been drowned after ihe rescue of the other five members of the crew, was rescued when the boat was turned over. O'Donnell owes hig life to the fact that when the ves- sel turned over in the gale, consider able cir was compressed into the hull, and tais enabled him to breathe and remain alive, although trapped like a rat. The accident occurred just off Deals Island. Ome of the heavy rollers hit the little vessel, and in a few moments it capsized. All of those on board, with the exception of O'Donnell, were able to jump off before the boat over- turned. O'Donnell was in the fore- peak, and when the vessel captized found himself in prison. Sunday Captain Webster and some of the crew went out to his vessel to see about the damage and attempted to turn her over. After hard work they finally succeeded, and to their astonishment they found O'Donnell in the forepeak of the boat. He was in a very weak condition when rescued and could have held out very little longer. U. 8. Diplomat Found Dying in Street. Ex-Judge William I. Buchanan, for- merly American minister to Panama and later special envoy to Venezuela, died in London.

The body was taken to a mortuary, where it was identified by the man- ager of Claridge’'s hotel, where Mr. Buchanan frequently stayed. He went out to dine apparently well. There is no suspicion whatever of violence. Stole Dead Woman's Ring; Swallows It Upon the charge of the larceny of a diamond ring from a dead woman's finger, Miss Margaret Landers, aged twenty-three years, of Lynn, Mass, was arrested. Although she denied her guilt a. first, she admitted the theft later, and to the astonishment of the authorities declared that, fearing detection, she had swallowed the ring. Early in the morning Miss Landers went to thr home of James Geary, where the body of Mrs. Geary was lying in a casket. Miss Landers was a friend of the family, and was left alone with the body for a few moments. Later the diamond ring. which is val- ued at $150, was missed. Conficcated Two Car Loads of Eggs.

Eggs are now selling at $2 per dozen in Cuba. Death of Cow Led to Suicide. Grief over the recent death of a favorite cow is believed to have been the motive which caused Dr. J. F.

Special Golf Links Laid Out on 100,000 Acre Ranch For the President—Wild Cat Hunt Will Be One of the Diver. sions. Gregory, Tex., Oct. 19.—A wild cat hunt, a day's tarpon fishing, motor boating and automobiling, jackrabbit chasing and golf are a few of the diversions in which President Taft is expected to indulge in the course of his four days’ rest at his brother's ranch here. At the Charles P. Taft ranch the president will be among those who ap preciate his need of rest and recrea- tion. No local committeeman will be allowed within the precincts of the 100,000 acre ranch, unless possibly on the last day, when the president may consent to deliver a little speech at Corpus Christi. The president's brother has provid- ed a big, strong horse for his guest, and the president will do considerable riding. They do their wild cat hunt ing in the evening or along about dusk, when the creatures venture from the woods in search of prey. Charles P. Taft has several fine hounds that are all trained for wildcats, and local hunters stand ready to assure the president that the glory of the great African game killer will be obscured at least for one day if he will consent to join in the chase. Ducks and geese also have begun to come in from the north, and the president may try his luck with them. The golf links on the Taft ranch have been laid out es- pecially for the president's visit.
