ERENCE A? MEOFORD OCT. 3 , HOW "TEDDY" HLXTED Theodore Roosevelt's foreword to Us "African Game Trails," written. by the way, at Khartoum, In 110 in a torrid temperature and with hard-biting mosquitoes bussing around, is as leisurely and charming as if it ahd been written by a parlor traveler with feet on a second chair. Yet U is also full of the tan of life and the rapture of the born hunter and explorer. "The land teems wkh beasts of the chase, infinite in number and Incred ible in variety." he wrote. "It holds the largest and the smallest of the hoofed animals. It holds the might iest creatures that tread the earth or swim in its rivers; H also holds distant kinsfolk of these same crea tures, no bigger than woodchucks, which dwell in crannies of the rocks, and in the tree-tops. There are an telope smaller than hares, and an telope larger than oxen. There are creatures which are the embodiment ot grace; and others whose huge un Cainliness is like that of a shape in a nightmare." On this African trip, Roosevelt ob tained at first hand, three "cloee ? ups" of wild animals under jwuliar ly exciting conditions. The four footed actors in these real-life "movies" were respectively a rhinoc erous, a hippopotamus and a lion, and all three of them charged upon the Colonel and his party with a fury that is admirably described by the writer-huntsman. The rhinoceros, upon which bullets seemed to have no more effect than small shot thrown against a tent, was unaware of the presence of Roosevelt and his fellow stalkers, and calmly lay down to rest within a hundred yards of them. "What followed is thus des cribed by the Colonel. "Walking lightly, and with every sense keyed up, we at last reached the bush, and I pushed forward the safety of the double-barrelled Hol land rifle which I was now to use for the first time on big game. As I stepped to one side of the bush so as to get a clear aim, with Slatter following, the rhino saw me, and jumped to his feet with the agility of a polo pony. As he rose I put in the right harrel, the bullet going through both lungs. At the same moment he wheeled, the blood spout ing from his nostrils, and galloped full on us. Before he could get quite all the way round in his head Jong ruah to reach us, 1 struck him with my left-hand barrel, the bullet entering between the neck and sho;il der and piercing his heart. At the same Instant Captain Slatter fired, his bullet enterin gtbe neck verte brae. Ploughing up the ground with 'horn and feet, the great bull rhino, mill head toward us, dropped Juki 13 paces from where we stood. This was a wicked charge, for the rhino meant mischief and came on with the utmost determination. "Judging by what I hare since seen, I am inclined to .believe that iboth lion and buffalo are more dan- IH'Ab 1DVSTKIAL AI.IJ AXCK The famous "triple, alliance" of railroaders, miners and transport workers in Great Britain may soon have a counterpart in the United States. The United Mine Workers are preparing to associate them selves more closely with the rail road brotherhoods. A conference is to te held soon at which an effort will be made to adopt a plan of co operation. Tiach group of workers will help the other to get what It wants in the matter ot wages, hours. etc., and the nationalization of rail roads and mines will be pressed with all the vigor of both organisations This plan. If carried out. win make an extremely 'powerful labor combi nation. The United Mine Workers are said to be already the strongest labor union in the world. Together with the railroad workers, thev would constitute a body of consider- ably more than 1,000.000 men. They would - derive much support, too. from other industries belonging to the federation of labor. If the steel workers were once fully organized. there would be the .possibility of a triple alliance completely dominating the industry of the country. The railroad-mining combination is not at all unnatural. The- men point out that the railroads cannot run without coal and the mines can not operate without cars. A tie-up of either Industry would soon tie up the other. A tie-up of both, needless to say, would tie up the whole sys tem of American Industry. The movement will be watched wlrh interest and also with misgiv ings. The United States, like the rest of the world, seems to be on the verge of new and momentous indus trial developments. They may turn Hout well or ill. At present there is no telling. It Is probably safe, how ever, to count on the sanity of hu man nature and the essential fair ness of the America spirit not to so to radical extremes or work deep and lasting injustice to any class for any great length of time.
