In Germauy he spent Inns hours with the kaiser, witnessed a sham battle and discoursed on the flchtlng eds. In Holland he greeted the burchers as fellow Dutchmen, and In England lie accepted the sad duty of representing his country at the funeral of the king. Everywhere he was the same Iloosevelt we had known at home, as keen In his pleasures, as un tiring, as democratic and as full of information on all possible subjects.

As to the nun:' or of klntr? he gath ered In his collection of specimens It Is impossible to be numerically exact, but to the best of my recollection he bagged them all except Nicholas of Russia and Alfonso of Spain. Fer haps he overlooked them In the rush. But with these two possible excep tions he saw everything and every body worth seeing, went through Europe with an express train force that gave the effete monarchies nerv ous prostration, took the degree of LL. D. at Cambridge, propelled words cf advice like a human Gatling gun and made John Bull apoplectic by ad vising him either to govern Egypt or get out. Cannot Escape Publicity. It is a great thing to be president of the United States. It is greater to be as big a man outside the presidency as In It. Some ex-presidents have raised chickens, some have become college lecturers or business men, some have been elected to congress, and some have gone Into Innocuous desuetude. Only one has become a faunal natural ist and the big noise of two hemi spheres. There Is none like him; none ever was or ever will be. It la Im possible that there should be anoth ir like hlir In this laud or any other beside the seven seas. Colonel Roosevelt went to Africa to ; escape publicity. Did he escape It? Is it possible that he should escape It I anywhere? When he Is absent people I wonder what he Is doing. When he ! Is present they wonder what he will j do next. There Is no keeping such a I man out of the newspapers. If ho were to hunt for the south pole his ' every move would be chronicled. If he were to live in Zululand, In China or In Ilobokeu It would be tho same. The reporters would find hi in out, and If they did not find hlin out they would write about him anyway. Roosevelt Is a front page character. Tidings of ; him run as naturally to display type , as the river Hows to the ocean or the , sparks fly upward. Nobody knows how far bo has traT- eleil since he left ns, but ho has cov ered a considerable portion of two con tinents. He bus noi been as great a trawler ns bis successor, but has prob ably enjoyed It more. Ho has been over the bast civilized and most cly lllzcd parts of tlm globe and has been equally at home In both. He has gone from the virgin Jungle to the ancient pyramids where Napoleon said "forty centuries look down upon us." lie bai ridden a camel In Egypt, listened to the riddle of the sphinx and been met by racing boat leads of American re porters on the waters of the Nile. lie has talked volubly, explosively and en thusiastically from Mombasa to Chris tians and from Cairo to London.

The one thought he expressed at this demonstration was pride in being an American and lu standing for the time ns the symbol of the country that bad helped these people In their calamity. The Game Bag In Africa. The expedition landed on the coast of Africa at Mombasa and proceeded Inland to Nairobi, where it estab lished its base. On the trip np It Is narrated that the colonel rode on the pilot of the engine. Riding on the pilot is no uncommon occurrence In Africa, though not practiced much In America, for the reason that it causes one "to collide "too violently with" the atmosphere. In the Roosevelt party were Kermlt, the son and ostensible photographer, although In the end he proved a better rifle Fbot than his father; R. J. Cunlugbame, a mighty English hunter, who went along be cause of his knowledge of the game and of the country; Major Edgar A. Mearus, J. Alden Lorlng and Edmund Heller, representing the Smithsonian institution, and a small army of na tives. The party took several trips out from Nairobi and shot enough game to make the Smithsonian Insti tution look like a petrified section of Africa transplanted to the banks of the I'otomac. After making the game scarce In all the available hunting grounds about Nairobi the ex pedition pro ceeded by rail to Port Flor ence, ou the shores of Lake Victoria Nyan za, over which It took passage, then traversed Uganda, thread ed Its way down the Nile, emerged with a great beating of native tomtoms at Gondokoro, took passage by boat to Khar tum and was soon on its way by rail to Cairo and Alexandria, making stops en route.
