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.
It was on March 23, 1000, that
Colonel Roosevelt left New York by
the steamer Hamburg bound for the
dark continent. On board be made
himself most popular with the other
passengers by his democratic and un
assuming demeanor and friendliness,
lie touched at Gibraltar and Messina
ou the way, but requested that all
formal receptions be eliminated, aa be
traveled only as a private citizen. In
Messina he was greeted in person by
the king of Italy and was touched by
the warm welcome of the people,

thatikjuhiess for the American relief
work following the great earthquake.
The one thought he expressed at this
demonstration was pride in being an
American and lu standing for the time

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.

the game bag was comparatively mod

seventy-six specimens. Of course this
represented but a small part of the
