theodorc Roosevelt Most Highly
Honored in Europe.
EXCITING INCIDENT IN ROME
( Former President Delivered Scholarly
Lectures In Paris , Berlin and Ox
ford Represented His Country
at King Edward's Funeral.
Scarcely less interesting than ' his
bunting trip In Africa , and at times
almost us exciting , were the adven
tures of Col. Theodore Roosevelt in
Europe. There he desired to bo treat-
fid as a man of letters and science ,
rather than as a sportsman , nnd his
desire was gratified. But In addition ,
Europe insisted on receiving him as
the most distinguished American of
feob .M" the time , and everywhere ho wont
honors wcro showered on him. Em
perors , kings , princes nnd all manner
of royalties and nobility greeted him ,
dined him and toasted him , and the
people in nil the lands that ho visited
turned out in vast throngs to see him
And cheer him.
In Paris , Chrlstlanla , Berlin and Ox
ford Mr. Roosevelt delivered scholarly
public addresses and the literary and
scientific circles opened to let him in
and marveled at the wide scope of hlu
knowledge.
' The event connected with. Mr.
Jloosovelt'a European tour that
aroused the most Interest and excite
ment" occurred Immediately after his
nrrlval In Italy early In April. Before
he left Africa hs ! desire to pay his
respects to the p'opo had been con
veyed to the Vatican and the holy
father had intimated thnt he would be
glad to ECO the distinguished Ameri
can. About the same tlmo former
Vice-President Fairbanks was In
Rome and had arranged for an audience -
once at the Vatican which was can
celled by the pope because Mr. Fairbanks -
banks first addressed the Methodist
mission in Rome. When Colonel
ttoosovelt reached the Eternal City he
post , whore ho was Riven n royal w l-
como.
Paris was next on his itinerary , and
there on April 23 ho lectured in the
Sorbonne before a great audience ot
savants and students. The municipal
ity and Its officials , the president of
Franco and various learned societies
vied with each other in doing honor to
the visitor , and for amusement ho was
taken to the field ot aviation , whore
ho saw some exciting aeroplane
flights.
Traveling northward somewhat leis
urely , by way of Brussels , Amsterdam
and Copenhagen , Mr. Roosevelt ar
rived at Christiana and delivered nn
address on international peace before
the Nobel .prize commission , which had
awarded to him the Nobel peace prize
for his successful efforts to end the
Russian-Japanese war.

plans for the entertainment of the ex-
president in Berlin , but the death ot
King Edward caused the curtailment
of the program to a considerable ex
tent. Instead of being the kaiser's
guest In the palace , Mr. Roosevelt
stopped nt the American embassy ,
and though William received him and

received , through the American minis
ter , a message from Cardinal Merry
del Val , papal secretary of state , to
the effect that the pope would grant
an audience to Mr. Roosevelt If ho
did not repent the mistake made by
tur. Fairbanks. The colonel promptly
called It all off , stating that as an In
dependent American citizen he could
not submit to such restrictions. The

aead of the Methodist mission tried to
ainko religious capital out of this , and
Mr. Roosevelt thereupon canceled the
pinna for a general reception to which
the Methodists had been invited.
Thus , with his usual luck and facility
for "coming out on top , " ho had the
best of the matter all around and his
conduct was generally commended all
over the world.
Mr. and Mrs. Roosevelt and Kermlt
wore received by the king and queen
of Italy and spent some days In that
country. The colonel and his wife vis
ited Venice and traveled once again
the Riviera route that they passed over
on their honeymoon , and next Mr.
Roosevelt visited Vienna and Budo-
dined him and showed him the Gor
man army In maneuvers , the moro
spectacular nnd public features were
omitted. On May 12 Mr. Roosevelt de
livered at the University of Berlin nn
address on modern civilization which
was highly praised for Its scholarly
qualities.
Having been appointed special am
bassador of the United States to at
tend the funeral of King Edward , Col
onel Roosevelt next crossed the chan
nel to England , and when the body of
the dead monarch was carridd to the
tomb he was ono of the remarkable
crowd of royal personages and distin
guished men that followed the gun
carriage on which Edward's coffin was
borne. After the funeral ho wan re
ceived by King George and Queen
; uary and by the widowed queen
mother , and In a quiet way made nec
essary by the mourning of the nation
much attention was shown him. This
culminated , In London , by a reception
In the Guild Hall , at which the free
dom of the city in a gold casket was
presented to him.
Ho was the guest , thereafter , of
several prominent Englishmen , and
on June 7 ho delivered the Romanes
lecture nt Oxford , which had been
postponed by the demise ot the king.
This was the most pretentious of all
his European addresses and the best.
His subject was "Biological Analogies
In History. "
The University of Cambridge hon
ored Mr. Roosevelt by conferring up
on him the degree of doctor of laws ,
and the occasion served to demon
strate his popularity with nil classes.
As Mr. Roosevelt accepted his di
ploma from the hands of Vice-Chan-
cellar Mason , the students who crowd
ed the galleries shouted "Teddy !
Teddy ! " and let down a largo Teddy
bear from the celling. The whole
audience cheered and the colonel , as
he passed out , smilingly patted the
Teddy bear. Later that day Mr.
Roosevelt addressed 700 graduates , on
all kinds of topics ,
On Juno 11 the traveler , together
with Mrs. Roosevelt , Kermlt and Miss
Ethel , sailed on the Knlserin Augusto
Victoria on their way to Now York
nnd the rousing welcome that ho knew
was awaiting him from his fellow
countrymen.

( YEAR ON DARK CONTINENT
Naturalists Collected Hundreds of
Specimens for the Smithsonian
Institution Kermlt Photog
rapher of the Party.
Theodore Roosevelt's hunting trip In
Africa , ofllcially known as the Smith-
eonian African expedition , lasted near
ly eleven months nnd wns most suc
cessful in every wny. The colonel's
desire to hunt big game was not nil
Wiat was back of the trip , for the
Smithsonian Institution wanted speci
mens of the fauna and flora of the
Park Continent and commissioned the
.fix-president to obtain them. For this
ireason , a part of the expenses wore
jfcorno by the institution , but Mr.
Roosevelt paid all the expenses of
Minsclf and his son Kermlt , presuma
bly earning much of them by his artl-
tiles in a magazine for which ho re
ceived a record-breaking price.
Not wasting much time after leav-
fng the White House , Colonel Roosevelt
velt sailed from Now York on the
nteamshlp Hamburg , headed for Na
ples. With him were Kermlt and
jUiroo naturalists , Major Mcarns , Ed-
piund Heller and J. Alden Lorlng , and
ft towed In the hold wns most of their
elaborate outfit for killing or photoGraphing -

chief photographer of the expedition ,
but ho also turned out to bo consider-
Ublo of a hunter.
A great throng of friends and ad-
.mlrers bade the colonel farewell , and
ho sailed away , but could not entirely
separate himself from the world , for
practically all the way across the At
lantic wireless communication with
the Hamburg was maintained. More
over , at the Azores , nnd again at
Gibraltar , he found the officials nnd
people insisted on doing him honor ,
nnd when ho reached Naples on April
' 5 the entire populace turned out to
greet him with flowers and chcors.
, Boarding the German steamship Ad
miral for Mombasa , Mr. Roosevelt
found in his cabin n quantity of flow
ers and a letter from Emperor William
wishing him "good hunting. " At Mes
sina a stop was made to view the
earthquake ruins , nnd there , at King
Victor Emmanuel's request , Mr. Roosevelt
velt and Kermlt visited the Italian
monarch on board the battleship Rex
Umberto. The party arrived at Mom
basa April 21 and was received by
Acting Governor Jackson , who had
been instructed by the British govern
ment to do all In his power to further
the plans of the expedition. Unusual
privileges were granted the hunters ,
and Mr. Roosevelt and Kermlt wore
licensed to kill lions.
At Mombasa the party was Joined
by R. 3. Cuninghame , a veteran Afri
can hunter and explorer , nnd Leslie J.
Tarleton , and these two managed the
expedition in a most able manner.
Taking train to Knpltll plains , the
party became the guests of Sir Alfred
Pease on his ranch. An immense
carnvnn of 2CO persons was organized
and on April 25 Colonel Roosevelt
had his first African hunt. On this
occasion ho bagged two wildebeests
and a Thompson's gazelle. April 30
was a notable day In the camp on the
Athl , for on that day the first lions
fell victims to the marksmanship of
the Roosovolts. Theodore shot two
and Kermlt one , and there was great
rejoicing among the natives who maae
up the caravcn. After that the big
came oame fast find cheetahs , giraffes ,
rhinoceroses and moro lions were
added to tlio list , In all 14 varieties of
animals being secured. Mcanwhllo
Kermlt was busy with his cameras
nnd the naturalists prepared the spe
cimens.
George McMillan , an American , was
the next host of the hunters , nnd sev
eral weeks were spent on his flno Ju
Ja rnnch nnd in the surrounding coun
try. There the game was very plenti
ful and many line specimens were
bagged. Members of the party made
several extensive trips of exploration ,
notably on and around Mount Konla.
The expedition left East Africa December -
comber 19 , crossed Uganda and went
down the White Nile , getting back to
comparative civilization at Gomlokoro.
There they went aboard a steamer
put at their disposal by the sirdar ,
and Journeyed to Khartum , where
Mrs. Roosevelt mot her husband , nnd
nccompnnlcd htm In n leisurely trip to
Culro. During his Btny in Egypt Col
onel Roosevelt wns the recipient ot
ranny honors nnd made several
speeches. Ono of them , In which ho
praised the administration ot the
UrltlBh , gave considerable offense to
the nntlvo Nationalists. At the end ot
March the Roosovolts snllcd for Itnly.
In n preliminary report to the
Smithsonian Institution Mr. Roosevelt
summarized the material results ot
the expedition ns follows :
"On the trip Mr. Heller has pre

To Remove a Paint Stain.
To remove the unsightly stain ot
paint spilled on the doorstop , try the
following plan : Make a strong solu
tion of potash and wet the stain well
with this , keeping it wet until the
paint becomes soft. In a short tlmo
It will readily rub loose and it may
then bo washed of ? with soap nnd
nator. If any color .tas penetrated the
libers of the wood keep the spot wel
wet with the soluUcn , and It wll

cnuso lie did not wish to nnwso the
political antagonism of the lending

prosecutor loved not nnd sought to
humiliate.
"You are prejudiced In fnvor of the

"No , air. "
"You arc hla family phyHlclnn. nro

"From what ? "
"Phalncrosls , " repeated the doctor.
Whereupon everybody Bat up and
took notice ; the attorneys put on n
dignified studious nlr ; the honorable
court pricked up his earn ; ono nnd nil
centered their gnzo upon the defend
ant , who acquired that reddish tint
which proclaimed thnt nt last ho had
been discovered.
"What Is this phalacrosts ? " nskod
the prosecutor.
"It Is a sort of chronic dtscnso of nn
Inflammatory nnturo which affects cer
tain cranial tissues. "
"Does It affect the mind , cnuso In
sanity , or anything llko that ? "
"Well , I shouldn't wish to answer
thnt question as an export because I
am not posing as an export ; hut I hnvo
known some persons who were suffer
ing from the dlscnso to become raving
maniacs , others merely foolish , some
showed destructive and pugilistic ten
dencies , whllo many others have suf
fered for years and never shown any
mental abnormalities. "
"Well , doctor , just toll the jury all
about this sickness , "
"I decline to do so. I am not an expert -
pert In such diseases and was not sum
moned hero nn an export witness. Yon

And there the matter rested. The

At ono of the many restaurants that

contrary , repose In a dungeon under
the old foundations of Dukcfleld tow

leads to the secret chamber where
prisoners were left to dlo in the mid

ever , shelters the famous Culllnan diamonds
mends , which the queen supposedly
wears on great occasions. The fact Is
the queen has never worn the jewel.
The great diamond which rested on
her corsage nt the last state opening
of parliament was a perfect model of
the real stone made in Amsterdam.
The queen declines to wear the real
one for fear of losing It.
When the Wakoileld tower IB again
opened to visitors the model of the

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR
"My mother used to have n very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called nn eczema , and for it I had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sere and her hair nearly all fell out
In spite of what they both did. Ono
day her niece came In nnd they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did It no good.
She says , 'Aunt , why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cutlcura Oint
ment ? ' Mother did nnd they helped
her. In six months' tlmo the Itching ,
burning nnd scaling of her henil was
over and her hair began growing. To
day she feels much in debt to Cutl
cura Soap and Ointment for the flno
head of hair she has for un old lady
of seventy-four.
"My own case was nn eczema In my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn nnd
then they would crack open nnd bleed.
Then I thought I would flco to my
mother's friends , Cutlcura Soap nnd
