Theodore Roosevelt Was Daring Hunter of African Beasts Wrote Entertaining History of His Trip Through “Dark Continent” in 1910 In connection with the coming na- tion-wide campaign to raise funds for a permanent Roosevelt Memorial as- sociation, including the drive that is to be made in North Dakota, the fol- lowing is of interest: Theodore Roosevelt’s foreword to his “African Game Trails,” written, by the way, at Khartoum, in 1910, in a torrid temperature and with hard- biting mosquitoes buzzing around, is as leisurely and charming as if it had been written by a parlor traveler with feet on a second chair. Yet it is also full of the tang of life, and the rapture of the born hunter and explorer. “The land teems with beasts of the chase, infinite in number and _incred- ible in variety,” he wrote. “It holds the largest and the smallest of hoofed animals. It holds the mightiest crea- tures that tread the earth or swim in its rivers; it also holds distant kins- folk of these same creatures, no big- ger than woodchucks, which dwell in crannies of the rocks, and in the tree- tops. There are antelope smaller than hares, and antelopes larger than oxen. "There are creatures which are the em- | bodiment of grace; and others whose | huge ungainliness is like that of a} shape in a nightmare.” On this African trip, Roosevelt ob- tained at first hand, three “close-ups” of wild animals under peculiarly excit- ing conditions. The four-footed actors in these real-life “movies” were re- spectively a rhinoceros, a hippopota- mus 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 described 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-barreled Holland 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 ciear 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 barre!, the bullet going through both lungs. At the same moment he wheeled, the blood spouting from his nostrils, and galloped full on us. Before he could get quite all the way round in his headlong rush to reach us, I struck him with my left-hand barrel, the bul- let entering between the neck and shoulder and piercing his heart. At the same instant Captain Slatter fired, his bullet entering the neck vertebrae. Ploughing up the ground with horn and feet, the great bull rhino, still head toward us, dropped just thirteen paces from where we stood. This was a wicked charge, for the rhino meant mischief and came on with the utmost termination. “Judging by what I have since seen, I am inclined to believe that both lion and buffalo are more dangerous game than rhino; yet the first two rhinos I met both charged, whereas we killed our first lions and first four buffaloes CASTORIA For Infants and Children In Use For Over 30 Years Always bears the Signature of fo Dance TOMORROW NITE AT ARMORY O’CONNOR’S Orchestra OVERCOATS—-—-— —-—-—OVERCOATS —and more— OVERCOATS Tailored to your individual ; order.

L. Conklin of Bismarck, is chairman, is outlining an interesting program. The central idea of the convention is to be “Americanization” and several women of note are to speak at the various meetings. Among these is Miss Mabel Ulrich, M. D., director of |i women’s work in the government pub- lie health department and member of the Minnesota board of health. Another interesting address will be given by Miss Julia Abbott, who will speak on “Kindergartens.” Miss Ul- rich and Miss Abbott are on the pro- gram Wednesday afternoon. The com- plete program will soon be ready for publication. Z Committee Meets Tonight to Form Plans for Banquet War Mothers Are Going to Fur- nish Big Meal to Former Ser- vice Men October 15 The banquet committee of the Bur- leigh county War Mothers, will meet this evening at the home of its chair- man, Mrs. P. M. Throdahl, 402 Fifth street, to complete plans for feeding the soldiers, sailors and marines from | this -county on Burleigh county’s homecoming celebration October 15. The mothers of the men from this county who served with the country’s armed forces during the war are plan- ning to furnish the men with a “real home-cooked meal” as a fitting climax to the day’s celebration in the former service men’s honor. Present plans call for a banquet to be given in the Masonic temple in the evening to which every man in this county who wore a uniform as well as all other former service men who might be in the city on that day will be the hon- ored guests. Plans for the homecoming and flag- pole dedication are progressing satis- factorily according to Captain E. G. Wanner, who has charge of that part of the day’s’ celebration. It is hoped to have the city declare the day a holi- day and have sufficient entertainment features and other attractions in the city on October 15 to draw a large crowd for this section of the state. The convention of the state organi- zation of the American Legion will be held the two days following the home- coming celebration and if possible a three-day celebration will be_ar- ranged, the War Mothers, Home Guards, Canteen girls, Red Cross, American Legion and others co-oper- ating to make the big celebration a success.

E. Cavett Recently Made Director of Vocational Train- ing Not Qualified The well oiled «machinery of the state administration in ignoring Miss Minnie Nielson, state superintendent | of instruction, in making appointments ! of followers of the red flag struck a new monkey wrench when C.E. Cavett was named director of vocational training. i The monkey wrench in this instance is a ruling by the federal government which pays one-half of the director of vocational training’s salary that the holder of that office must be a gradu- ate of an agricultural college, or must! have stipulated number of years study | in farm work and be a graduate’ of a normal school or university. The salary for this position is $3,-j 000 annually and expenses, The state! contribuates one-half and the federag | government the other. But as Cavett | tion Cavett will only receive the! amount, appropriated by the state which is not very attractive to any follower of the Townley regime. Charles G. Carlson was appointed! to this office some time ago by ‘Miss Nielson and he fulfilled every quali- fication required by the federal gov- ernment. However, when the mach- inery of the new board of administra- tion began stripping Miss Nielson of her duties under the law, Carlgon was ousted and was put into the posi- tion over Miss Nielson’s protest. Just to. show how much the Townley mem- bers of the board thought of Cavett they made him state executive offcer also. As far as the records show, Cavett’s main qualification for the , duties in- trusted to him, but which the federal government says it refuses to recog- nize, is his support of Neil C. Mac- donald against (Miss Nielson in the race for the offce of state superintend- public instruction in which 's ‘Nielson left her opponent so far behind that he has not caught up with her yet.
