"You've got more heart thau sense, Mcllenry." was the parting shot which he hurled nt tho managing edi tor. 'Pretty tough on a reporter to Ore him for 'scooping' tho town on a big Story." said the managing editor. "Oh. pshaw!" grunted Dupuy. A boy entered with a card. Dupuy crossed to n chair and picked up his I overcoat. 'Mr. Nolan, sir." the lad announced. witli nu amusing grimace. "He's the now boss, ami ties gor a coupie o mitts on Mm like Jim Jeffries.

"I am Mlko Nolan," tho newcomer remarked bluntly. At the sound of tho big man's big voice Dupuy. whom Nolan had not noticed In the corner, stirred and turn ed his head to guln a better view of him.

With tho departure of tho Roosevelt patty down tho Nile, tho Journey of the great hunter, "BWanp Tumbo," through the wilds of East Africa closed today. Tho story of tho "Rortly master," replete with stirring incident and full of admiring pralso for his prowess as a mighty hunter will now 'take its pla'ije in the lore of the natives wiio worship hlni as a king from a for eign land. It is probable that there will be several Httlo side trips for hunting on tho way to Khartoum, but these will be of little comparative Import ance, and it was not expected that any big game will be found. The members of tho party ,nll of whom are well and apparently have thrived on the outdoor life in the Jungle, consider that tho big hunt Is over. Therefore, it is possible to give the result of the expedition, in respect to the game killed by Col. Roosevelt and his son, Kermlt, which, asido from birds and reptiles taken by the naturalists, include practical ly all of tho game killed by tho par ty. Following is a record of tho ac complishments of the former presi dent, and a list of tho game ho has bagged: Rhinoceri. 18. including 3 whlto ones; elephants, 9; lions, 7; giraffes, 10; wildbeestes, 4; Thompson's ga zelles, 1. hippopotami, 4; buffaloes, 8; tapirs, 5; elaands, 4; ostrich, 1; lcapard, 1; hartbeeste, 1; python, 1; bohr, 1; impalla, 1; watcrbuck, 1; zebra, 1; orynx, 1; bushback, 1; oribi, 1; kob, 1. Kermlt Roosevelt mado the follow ing record: Lions, 11; elephants 2; rhinoceri, bongos, 2; sabres, 3; buffaloes, 4; giraffes, 3. hippopotamus, 1; ched tahs, 3; popls, 3; monkeys, 2; wild beestes, 1; elaands, 1; leopard, 1. These lists are made up of tho more important items of the bag. Most of tho animals included in tho sum mary either will be sent to America or aro on their way there for exhibi tion in tho Smithsonian Institution at Washington, tho Museum of Nat ural History of New York and other museums. No schedule has been arranged for the trip through Egypt, and It is im possible to state when the party will .arrive at Khartoum. The trip from hero to Khartoum probably will bo made in two weeks, but tho progress will bo mado accord ing to the pleasure of Colonel Roose velt, who may decide to stop over at some point of interest. It is thought quite probably that Khartoum will not bo reached before March 0. o A THREE CENT FARE unitkd ntnss IJ5ASED wine Cleveland, O., Feb. 18. After a light begun 15 years ago, and waged at different times by former Mayor Tom L. Johnson, 3-ccnt fares will hereafer prevail in this city.
