I
ROOSEVELT'S OUTFIT
WILL GIVE MANY MODERN COM
FORTS IN AFRICAN JUNGLES.
Equipment Includes a Number of
Articles Seldom Found in Expedi
tions of This Kind—All Pur
chased in England.
New York.—When ex-President
Roosevelt and his party enter the
African jungle they will take with
them an outfit which will illustrate
the high degree of ingenuity which
has been employed in providing for
the modern hunter’s comfort. With
the exception of his firearms, prac
tically all of the personal outfit of Mr.
Roosevelt has been purchased in Eng
land, and is now on its way to Mom
basa, British East Africa, addressed
to "President Roosevelt.” The selec
tion of the equipment was intrusted
to several English friends, including
R. J. Cuninghame, an English natural
ist. who is to accompany Mr. Roose
velt, and Fred Courtney Selous, Eng
land’s pioneer in big game hunting.
"Answers” describes some of the
articles which have been chosen for
the personal comfort of the ex-presi
dent while traversing the wilds of
eastern Africa.
Some of the things which his string
of native bearers will carry into the
interior for his use are a special tent
with combination bathtub and wash
stand attachment, light weight bed
ding, folding furniture, compact cook
ing utensils and many minor articles,
such as a combined folding spade and
pick for cutting ditches around the
tent when it rains; folding metal boot
trees, hair clippers and safety razors,
for use in a country where no imagin
able fee can procure a barber; a port
able scale, for obtaining evidence for
hunting tales; a pump filter,-for'sepa
rating the soil from the water where
the only liquid refreshment obtainable
looks like mud: a mincing machine, an
alarm clock and a walking stick which
may be turned into a stool for the
comfort of the hunter when he is fa

tigued and wishes to wait for the
same to find him.
The tent will accommodate two per
sons. It is 12 feet by 10 feet and 7
feet G inches high in the middle and is
lined inside with turkey red twill,
which gives it a cozy atmosphere. In
the lining are many pockets for stow
ing such articles as there is no danger
of losing through their attractiveness
in the eyes of the natives. The tent
is double ridged, so that a second can
vas may be spread over the first. This
affords greater protection from the
elements. In the heat of the day it
serves to keep the interior cooler. On
either side of the inner tent, beneath
the eaves of the outer covering, is
space for some of the “boys,” as the
native bearers are called, and some of
the baggage. The tent is provided
with a veranda in front, and a folding
canvas bathtub may be attached to the
rear. A canvas water cooler, which
might be mistaken for a drum, will
hang outside tlie tent when it is set
up. There are also canvas buckets for
transporting the water from the spring
to the cooler.
The folding beds are fitted with rods
for the mosquito curtains, for insects
will probably be more numerous in
Africa than office seekers at the White
House. The bed can quickly be taken
apart and neatly packed in a bag which
looks something like that used for
golf clubs, the whole package weigh
ing only 22 pounds. The bed clothing
will include two "Jaeger” sheets and
fwo camel's-hair blankets for use in
the high altitudes, where it is fre
quently cold at night/ The mattress
and pillow are of horse hair covered
with canvas, the former folding up
like a window blind.
The remainder of the tent furniture
includes a folding table weighing about
four pounds, a canvas hanging ward
robe.a folding mirror, adressing doll,re
placing the conventional hand dressing
case, and a green canvas ground sheet.
To the tent poles are attached leather
straps fitted with brass hooks for
Suns, coats and other articles. Wind
proof “hurricane” lamps, mechanical
oil lamps requiring no chimney, a col
lapsible candle lamp and one or two
reading lamps will provide Mr. Roose
velt with opportunities for enjoying
himself when no more exciting sport
than reading offers.

KNOX TOGA TO MILLIONAIRE.
Good Story on George J. Oliver, New
Pennsylvania Senator.
Pittsburg, Pa.—Many are the inter
esting stories told of George J. Oliver,
the millionaire steel man and newspa
per publisher of this city, who has
been elected United States senator to
succeed Philander C. Knox.
No one appreciates a joke more
than Oliver, even though it be turned
against himself. One of the best jokes
regarding him came up some years
since when he was compelled to sell
one of his newspapers, a German pub
lication. Mr. Oliver had bought the
George J. Oliver.
old Pittsburg Gazette, later he bought
the Chronicle-Telegraph, and then took
on a German paper. There was a city
fight on later, and one of his political
allies in Allegheny, the German
stronghold, came to him and an
nounced that he (the worker), was not
getting a fair deal.
"What's the matter?” said Oliver.
"Why, your own paper is working
against you.. They are roasting the
life out of you editorially, and I can’t
do anything so long as the paper you
own is against you. 1 can't explain
that away, you know.”
“What paper is that?” asked Oliver,
sitting up straight.
"The -,” replied the worker as
he pulled out a copy of the German pa
per. “Now, just listen to what they
do to you this morning,” and he read
a scathing editorial, translating as he
went. Oliver leaned back and laughed
like a school boy. He told the worried
worker that he would attend to that
and later sent for the German editor
whom he told in a kindly way that
he owned the paper and that it didn’t
look just right that he should he so
handled editorially.
"lint you owns dot baper, Meester
Olifer,” said the editor, almost in
tears.
“Yes.”
“Ach, Gott, I didn’t know dot,” said
the old man as he backed his way out
and Mr. Oliver thought the incident
.closed. But next day the former
worker walked in with rage in his
eye. That morning’s editorial was
worse than all others. The old editor
was sent for. He explained:
“De wiiting etitor, yes. he vas yet
seeck unt he had prepared much edi
torial. He gets seeck unt it must be
used, yess. He vill pe back in vuu
week, maybe.” ,
“Well, go on,” said Owner Oliver.
“Roast me good. T guess you’ve got to
use up that jobwork editorial.”
Rut in a few days it was announced
that Oliver had sold the paper. He
didn’t want any paper that insisted on
writing its editorial the month be
fore, and what was still worse, run
ning them in rotation, irrespective of
conditions.
WOMAN WHO WAS “GOVERNOR.”

flee of governor of Oregon, left this
state for the national capital until he
was sworn In as senator in Washing
ton, his stenographer, Mrs. C. B. Shel
ton, acted as Oregon's chief executive.
That such unusual powers were con
ferred upon a woman was the result
of a peculiar political situation. There
is no lieutenant governor in Oregon
and, during the governor’s absence, his
private secretary was supposed to fill
that position. However, a few days
before the departure of Gov. Chamber
lain his secretary was appointed to a
judgeship and therefore the stenog
rapher acted as governor.

TWO YEARS OF FREEDOM.
No Kidney Trouble at All Since Using
Doan’s Kidney Pills.
Mrs. J. B. Johnson, 710 Wee St., Co
lumbia, Mo., says: “I was in misery
■with kidney trouble,
and finally had to un
dergo an operation.
I did not rally well,
and began to suffer
smqjhering spells and
dropsy. My leftside
was badly swollen
and the action of the
kidneys much disor
dered. My doctors
said I would have to be tapped, but I
began using Doan's Kidney Pills in
stead, and the swelling subsided and
the kidneys began to act properly.
Now my health is fine.” (Statement
made Aug. 1, 1906, and confirmed by
Mrs. Johnson Nov. 16, 1908.)

Pair and Their Eye-Glasses.
A worthy tradesman of this city
was discussing optics with a customer
the other day, apropos of the latter’s
appearance with his first eye-glasses.
“I’ve been wearing this pair of spec
tacles for nearly twenty years now,”
remarked the tradesman, “and my
wife a pair just like them for the same
time, and now we couldn’t either of
us see without them, and we never
had anything the matter with our eyes
in the first place.”
“What did you begin to wear them
for. then?” inquired the customer.
“Why, you see,” explained the other,
in a matter-of-fact manner, “when my
brother-in-law died he left the two
pair of spectacles, and we couldn’t
sell them for anything like what they
were worth.”—Harper's Weekly.
HUMOR BURNED AND ITCHED.
Eczema on Hand, Arms, Legs and
Face—It Was Something Terrible.
Complete Cure by Cuticura.
“About fifteen or eighteen years
ago eczema developed on top of my
hand. It burned and itched so much
that I was compelled to show it to a
doctor. He pronounced it ringworm.
After trying his different remedies the
disease increased and went up my
arms and to my legs and finally on my
face. The burning was something
terrible. I went to another doctor who
had the reputation of being the best
in town. He told me it was eczema.
His medicine checked the advance of
the disease, but no further. I finally
concluded to try the Cuticura Reme
dies and found relief in the first trial.
I continued until I was completely
cured from the disease, and I have
not been troubled since. C. Burkhart,

Goldfield Youngster Had Early
Learned the Value of Quibble.
Doctor Norris of Goldfield, Nev.,
called his eight-year-old son Into the
library after breakfast the other morn
ing. and regarded him with a sad
frown.
“Harry,” he said, “why are jjo
often late at school?”
"I’m never late, father,” Harry re
sponded promptly.
“Careful, son,” said the doctor. “Try
to remember. Haven’t you been late
at school in the last few days?”
“No, sir.”
“Then why has your teacher writ
ten me this letter, saying you were
late three times last week?”
“Oh, I’ll tell you, father,' said Harry,
reassuringly. “I don’t know what kind
of a clock they have at our school,
but I’m always on time. Of course,
they start school sometimes before I
get there, but that isn’t my fault—is
it?”—Harper’s Weekly.

“Were you born in the United
States?” was the first question asked.
“No, sah,” answered the darky, with
a broad grin; “I was bo’n in Mobile,
Alabammer.”
Then followed the question as to
the applicant’s present residence, an
interrogatory that caused him some
perturbation. “Can't you remember
where you live?” demanded another of
ficer of the board.
“Sure I knows where I lives!” ejac
ulated the negro; "but I can’t keep the
blamed numbah in mah mind.”
“When did you vote last?”
“Eight years ago. But I think 1
