The following passages are from

and power of nations.
Whatever the future nriy have in

credit of having given to the world
the means for its surprising develop

more Iran and steel, manufactured
more machinery, mined moie coal,

the world kicking the beam.

SMEDES, Miss., Nov. 19. Presi
dent RoosevelL's bear hunt In Miss
issippi Is ended and be has ot had
even a shot at a bear. Tbe last day
of the chase was simply a repetition
of the three preceeding davs so far as
bis luck was concerned. Try as tbe
hunters would they could not get a
bear within tbe unge of- the presi
dent's rifle.
Tbe dogs got a fresh trail early
this morning and the president aDd
Holt Collier followed it half a dozen
miles to the big Sunflower river.
The bear crossed a mile below the
ford they went to, and believing he
was making for the cano brakes on
the other side they endeavored to
head him off. When they got into
tbe brake however, they were dis
gusted to find that the bear had
doubled on his track and crossed the
river still further down. It was tben
one o'clock and as arrangements had
beeu made to break camp at 2:30 the
president was leluctantly compelled
to abandon further pursuit of the
elusive quarry,
When tbe president was out after
bear Major Helm, Dr. Lung and Sec
retary Cortyleou had a more success
ful deer drive on this side of the
great Suuflow r river. They jumped
a buck and a doe. Major Helm killed
the later from bis horse at about
forty yards.
Although tbe president has failed
to kill a bear on this expedition he
has enjoyed bis outing and speaks in
high praise of the hospitality that
has been accorded him. He philo
sophically attributed bis ill-fortune
to tbe traditional hunter s luck, and
says the next time he goes after bear
be will arrange to iy 1 Dg enough
for tbe luck to change.
When all was In readiness this af
ternoon the president and tbe mem
bers of tbe partv mounted their
borses aud rode Into Smedes, leaving
tbe wagons to follow The president
Is a hard rider, and the pace was
rapid In spite of tbe bad trails The
distance, which Is fully twelve miles,
was covered in less than an hour.
Upon the president's arrival here
be found fully 500 people, practically
all the negroes from tbe surrounding
p'aotations, assembled to greet bin ,
He thanked them for their demon
strations, but made no remarks.
They waited around his car on the
siding until daik, hoping be would
make a speech.
Mr. Flsb tonight gave a dinner In
bis private car to the president and
members of bis party. At 9:30 the
special train started for Memphis,
having added the record of a presi
dential bear iunt to the fame of
Smedes, which tlrst became knowu
to tbe outside world through the
Story that here tbe experiment of
teaching monkeys to pick cotton was
to be tried.
