on equal terms the emperor and Kos

As to the futr'er of klne ho gath

Is Impossible to be numerically exact,
but to the best of my recollection
he bagged them nil except Nicholas
of Russln nnd Alfonso of Spain. IYr
haps he overlooked them In the rush.
Hut with these two possible excep
tions he saw everything and every
body worth seeing, went through
Europe with an express tra'n lorce
that gave tho effete monarchies nerv

and made John Hull apoplectic by ad

Cannot Escape Publicity.
It Is a great thing to be president of
the United States. It Is greater to be
ns big a man outside the presidency- as
lu it, Sonic ex-preslilents have raised
chlckeus. some have become college
lecturers orybusiuoss men, some have
bet'D elected to congress, nnd some
have pone Into Juuoeuois desuetude.

Colonel Itoosevtslt wentto Africa to
escape publicity. Hid he escape It)
la It possible that lie should escape it
auywhere? Wbeu he Is absent people
wonder what he Is doing. AVhen he
Is present they wonder whnt he will 1
do next. There Is 110 keeping such a
man out of the newspapers. If he
were to bunt for the south pole his
every move would be chronicled. If
he were to live lu Zululand, In China
or lu Hobokeu It would be the same.
The reporters would flud hini out. oud
If they did not Cud him out they would
write about him anyway, itoosevelt
Is a front page character-.. Tidings of
him run as uuturally to display tyi e
as the river flows to the ocean or tho
sparks fly upward.

tlueuts. He has nc been as great n

over the least civilized and most civ
lllzed parts of the globe and has been
equally nt home In both. He has gone

It was on March 23. U0U. that
Colonel Itoosevelt loft New York bj
the steamer Hamburg bound for the
dark continent. On board he made
himself most opnlar with the otliei
passengers by his democratic at:d on

He touched at Gibraltar and Messina
on the way. but requested that all
formal receptions be eliminated, as he
traveled only as a private ciuzen. In
Messina he was greeted In person ly
the king of Italy and was touched t.y

The one thought he expressed at this

helped these people In their calamity.
The Game Bag In Africa.
The expedition landed ou the coast
of Africa at Mombnsa and proceeded
Inland to Nairobi, where It estab
lished Its base. On th trip up It Is
narrated that the colonel redo on the
pilot of the engine. Klding on the
pilot Is 110 uncommon occurrence in
Africa; though not practiced much In
America, for the reason that It causes
one to collide too violently with the
atmosphere. lu Hie Roosevelt party
were Kerml, the son and ostensible
photographer, although lu the end he
proved a better rifle shot than his
father; II. J. Cunlnghntne, n mighty
English hunter, who went along be
cause of his knowledge of the game
and of the country; Major Edgar A.
Mearus. J. Alden Lorltig 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 Potomac.

The 1010 GUdden tour is not only the
longest ever arranged, but It exceeds
In numbers of entries all previous con
tests of this kind aud passes through
one of the most Interesting parts of
the country ever covered by a Three A
contest before. Starting nt Cincinnati
the tourists will motor through thir
teen of the most Important southwest
ern states, finishing nt Chicago. The
total area of the country to be looped
within the 2.800 miles Is very nearly
1,000,000 square miles, or iiore ftinn
one-fourth of the area of tne United
States. Ten large cities with an ag
gregate population of 4,000,000 will be
visited, nnd the Immense rnrty of
tourists will make fifteen night nnd
two Sunday stops.
The ten largest cities on the route
are Cincinnati. Louisville. Nashville,
Memphis, Little Hock, Dallas, Kansas
City, Omaha, Des Moines nnd Chicago.
In addition the tour will prove the ef
ficiency of the modern motorcar to the
people of nearly 200 cities of n lesser
population nnd several hundred towns
nnd villages where tliey'nre not only
ready to buy cars, but where grout
prosperity has existed during the past
few years.
It was in 1001 that Charles A. GUd

toured the world In an nuto, conceived
the Idea of offering a valuable trophy
to autoraoblllsts who made a perfect
score with their machines In long dis
tance competition, and In that year the
GUdden tour came Into existence anA
is an annual event. The $3,500 silver
trophy that goes to the winner was
donated by Mr. GUdden. and another
award this year Is the Chicago trophy.

The hardest test in the test of time
