A very fair picture of the country Into 'which ' President Roosevelt I to plung? next year la given In a letter received by a Boston lawyer from a friend In the Darlc Continent and printed In the Boston Evening Tranacrlpt.

I fancied that you were carried by alavea In luxurious hammodka from place toj place, stopping occasionally In some thicket of bamboos to drink cocoanut milk or palm wine, while the chiefs of the district rame around, placed your foot on their heads, sent In chickens, yams (I always had a j earning to live on yams) and choice young klda. A. so stiaw baskets full of luscious fruits. In return, you gav them our castofl socks, oW cartridge shells and empty tin cans. At night I fancied you sat In a tree and shot a few elephants by moonlight and went to led with the Idea of sleeping till 10 the next morning. Mna and Ilia Male. How are the mighty tailen!

A man Is ready to quarrel with an angel. I have hardly seen a bit of fruit, except some unripe oranges, rince I left the blessed lnlted States, and trading empty tin cans for kids Is not an African trait uf character. Shooting elephants from a tree may be practiced In and around Uoeion, but unheard of out here. I d s tincily hate to have to look around, be fore sitting down to smoke a cigarette, to see that I don't sit on a hill of ants with red-hot mouths, but I loathe the s ght cf a Hon unless seen through Iron bMrs two Inches thick.

I ex pected when I saw a lion that some one would have to be specially detailed to hold me back to prevent my leaping at the creature and catching it by the tail. Those' thoughts are past and gone. A few days ago I was walking on a level and burren plain. I chose that plain to walk on because it was level and barren, and I could see a long way, and not be easily approached from behind. We presently saw a spot In the landscape which, on closer Inspection, v developed Into , a rhino (for heaven's sake, never say rhinoceros). This beast was Jabbing It horna Into the soil of Afrloa In a way that should be prohibited by law. The muss it made was awful. While I was racking my weakened brain for some excuse to make to my gunbearer for not crawling up close to this monstrosity and busting a chunk out of it with my elephant gun. I carelessly' happened to glance another way, and then, to my dis gust, I saw three very handsome black maned lions. I nearly fainted with fear, but. fortunately, they saw us, and moved off In a very dignified manner. I cau- Dates of Sale October 5, 6, 7 TRAINS LEAVE OMAHA , 7:25 a. m. 4:21 p. m. and 6:30 p. m.

We could not get up to them, as they hsd nrobuhlv rknun thn plain to walk on for the same rea son I had. and when we left them and returned to our muttons, or rather rhino. that beast had finished his unholy mud pie work and ambled off to parts un known. Bo I went on a little farther and shot a few aebraa for supper and ,then went home. When I got to camp I waa able to sim ulate dissatisfaction with the day's work, but It was some time before I could look old Nur Jama, my Bomall g'mbearer, squarely In the. eves without blushing. He hss been hovering around while I am Work ing evidently hoping I would accompany him off to murder something, but I told him I had Important letters to write. For tunately, he doesn't speak much English, and as my knowledge of his torguij Is practically rjl, he can't do mdch. He Is now off 'cleaning my guns, much to my relief. I have two gunbearers. and when I go out hunting it looks remarkably like a circus parade. First goes old Nur, with my light rifle, he pretending always to see ' them long before he does, though I never mention It, hoping wo may get past without having to shoot. Then I come, rldlrg on my mule, with a pith helmet on. A pith helmet Is a terror to hunt in. It Sets In your way In front when you want to shoot, and In your way behind It you have to approach your prey on your hands anJ knees. I generally manage to knock my rifle against It, when It gives out a hol low sound that effectually iicares away the game. Then cornea Juma, my second gunbearcr, with the heavy rifle. He wears his front teeth filed to points, and I can . hardly keep, my eyes off them. Then my Byce, Booble by name, and most appro priately. I never feel sure If he has put the curb on over the mule's noeo or the saddlecloth on over the saddle till I have Inspected Ills' work. Then comes and his gunbearer; then a slave with my pho tograph apparatus on the end of a stick, from which It falls off occasionally, gener ally, taking a picture as It strikes the ground; then two or three unincum bered slavss who axe to be used as pack horses to bring the game In On, or who will go back to camp and bring out more porters it any large beast Is successfully overcome. Maybe we get lost, when every body has a try at finding camp, with the result that you would bo ready to swear there was no camp within 1,000 miles. We did that once, and I thought I should never see home again, till the lucky Idea came over me to let the mule try, which It did with complete success. Variety ( Wary Animals. Sometimes in a long excursion nothing much Is seen, and, again, you come up against a hunch of giraffe and watch them through your glasses for a long time as they reach up to the tops of the stunted acacias for feed. .

For a time it was feared that these trees were fated to perish from the earth; that the flames creeping out from a sheep herder's pot-boiling camp fire or the embers of a fool "camper's" bacon-frying contrivance would- destroy the only living survival of the age beyond "the dawn of history." Happily this dis aster was averted, and only the bald and ragged crest of "The Mother" waa oorched; only another acar added to those already Inflicted by time and the hand of Ood. Better, far better, that these age-defy.

Attracting Attention. DISTRESS IN CHICAGO SCHOOLS Thoasands of Children I nderfed and Many Break fast less A Soah Web ster Anniversary Activities of Varloas Colleges. The question of reducing the hours of school work Is beginning to receive consid eration In the United States, and generally In connection with overcrowded schools. In Oermany, Austria, France and Russia the question Is a distressing and burning one. In the first named country, reports the Chicago Record-Herald, suicides of school children have been Increasing at an alarm ing rate. One professor has investigated over 1,000 cases of child suicide, and he finds that over 60 per cent are due to ex cessive strain and failure to pass exami nations. A Vienna physician has made a slmilsr lavestlgatlon, and reports that In many middle-class and well-to-do families chil dren are driven to 'despair and self-destruc tion by the demands on their minds and their Industry. If their certificates Indicate backwardness the parents are angry and harsh toward them, and compel them to do a great deal of extra work in the even ing, x ' In Russia about 000 school children coin- mltted suicide last year, and the same "forcing system" is held to be responsible for most of these traglo cases. The problem of overtaxation of the bodies and brains of the school children has been treated even In novels and plays, especially in Oermany. It Is more complex than may appear at first sight. The time spent In the schoolroom is one element. The studying of lessons at home Is another. The lack of facilities for play and recreation la a third. Light, ventilation, the kind of desks and benches or chairs used in the schools fur nish another element. The demand of the age Is for efficiency ana thoroughness In education. Complaints are heard from many directions that the graduates of the pri mary and high schools are deplorably Ig norant even of the fundamental studies. The tendency everywhere Is to more end better fducatlon. In view of this tendency tne matter, of school hygiene la growing In Importance, and that of overwork In the largest sense of the term, which Includes the age at which children should be sent to kindergarten or school, will demand In creasing attention. Journals of medicine and hygiene, as well as educational peri odicals, are watching the European develop ments in this field with great Interest and applying them to the American situation. ILL-FED SCHOOL CHILDREN. Distressing: and Pltlfal Conditions Revealed In Chicago. A report of a committee of three members of the Chicago Board of Education reveals a shocking and distressing condition of poverty amtWig the school children of that city. It is assorted that 6,000 children fre quently are sent to school breakfastless and that 10,000 other children habitually are hungry as the result of receiving insuf ficient food. The report Is the rojult of an extensive Investigation brought about through a reso lution introduced before tho Board of Edu cation last May by Trustee Modle J. Spiegel, calling for the working out of remedies for the relief of school children who ate hampered tiy indigence. . In the Course of the Investigation the child study department examined 10,070 speclflo casca and the truant officers thor oughly canvassed the poorer school dis tricts of the city. From the examinations of subnormal children made by the child study department the conclusion Is reached that 65 per cent are sufferers from mal nutrition and insufficient feeding. Some of the conditions cite In the report re: , Hundreds of mothers often go to bed hungry themselves In order that their children may have something to eat next morning. This solf-denlal Is habitual hero Ism in several districts of the poor. Fathers out of work have been found who were regular beneficiaries of the free lunch counters In saloons, while their families wont hungry. Children have boen found on South Water street faint with hunger, begging for dead iowi in tne crates or for decayed fruit. iney nave been seen feasting on remnants of food from garbage boxes In alleys and in a few Instances clutching at crusts of bread thrown away by other children at school. . Most of the underfed children eome from homes that arc deficient In ventilation and sanitation. Many live in damp. Ill-smelling basements. GRAND ISLAND COLLEGE. Flattering Prospects of College shown by Enrollment. This college opened September 8 with an enrollment In all departments of about 800 students. Several new teachers of ripe ex perience have ldentlflud their interests with those of the Institution. Those attending col lege come, not only from Neuiaska. but a fair proportion from Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota and Wisconsin. A reception was given to the new mem bers of the faculty and the new students by those who had been on the ground the previous years. In the absence of Presl dent Sutherland, Dr. Beyl gave the address of welcome In behalf of the faculty. Miss Mamie Hogue gave a cordial welcome to the new students. Prof. Iliff made a fitting response to these words of welcome. Prof. Venner presided. Two courses of lecture have been pro vided. One course Is of a somewhat popu lar cast and Includes two lectures and two musicales. The second course will be given by the faculty and will be along the lines of Investigation which they have pursued in their departments. The prospects for foot bsll are better than tsual. There are some strong men on the team. It Is thought that they will give a gooa account of themselves the year. present KEARXEV STATE NORMAL Demand for Teachers Exceeds School's Sapnly, the Miss Wither of Lincoln, state secretary of the Young Women's Christian associa tion for colleges, is visiting tile Kearney Normal. She addressed a large and en thusiastic meeting In the chapel. Dr. Thomas express s himself as highly pliaid, with the plan to hold the Statu Teachers' association In November. He he-ll-ves that when boards of education and teachers become fully adjusted to the new order tha association ought to be attended by 4.000 peoph-. The State Normal will give a vacation and It is expected a large num ber will attend from hfre. The rail for teachers Is still remind in. bu the norms! has exhausted Its supply! Mlw Allies Csrrlg. who takes up her work In tin- Fairbury schools, waa the last to go. Mimv than fifty students who had planned courses In the formal for the present year have been sent out to supply the shortage In the wostern counties. The Normal has received calls for principal and superin tendents far beyond Its ability to supply. Many of the undrrgrariustes have taken prlnclpalshipa for the present year and re port a successful Ccnlng. The electric fixture are In place In the Kormal and the building waa Illuminated for the first time during the reception to the new students Friday evening. The new fixtures add greatly to the appearance of tho building. The Normal has graduated seventy stu dents from Kb higher courses during each of the last two years. The senior class this year is the largest wo have had at tho opening. The Junior class numbers about eighty. The teachers' training class num bers forty. The freshman and sophomore classes are both well represented. KEARNEY MILITARY ACADEMY. Yarlons Activities Mark the Opening; Weeks of School. The early weeks of school finds every thing in perfect running order. The classes have all been doing their regu lar assignments. The three companies have been getting Into shape for company drill and will probably bcglp the same In a short time and also the use of the guns and manual. The cement tennis courts ar proving very popular and even at this late time of year they are always full after the afternoon session of school.. They are very satisfactory and will, beyond doubt. prove useful In the winter when flooded, making a smalt but perfect field for hockey. w The chemistry and physics classes are larger this year than they have ever been before. Several of the older stu dents, among them post graduated, are taking arlthmetio under Mr. Russell, in order to learn the short methods of work which have proved so valuable to men In business who have graduated from the academy. The three foot ball teams of the school are out for dally practice. The school team bids fair to be a fast and sure one. Many of last year's players are back and some new material adds great strength and speed, both to the backfleld and the line. The season will be an Interesting one. The Owl and Antler teams afe both practicing and It la expected that they will begin a series of games about next Friday. These teams will be ,rathcr evenly matched and, aside from drawing out a larger number of boya for exercises, which Is the main thing In athletics and games of any kind in a preparatory school, will develop some good material for next year. Tha oriental decorations for the recep tion room In Cocran hall of the military academy, which are a present from F. O. Keens of this city, arrived last Thurs day and were put In place. They con sist of two hammered brass vases, each standing about five feet high and hand somely decorated with figures represent ing scenes and beliefs In India. They atand upon teak wood tabarets which are elaborately carved by hand. These vases are placed on either side of a large shield which is placed in an oval frame of tjje same wood and carved In the same manner as the tabarets. The shield Is also of hammered brass and stands about eight feet high In the frame. ...... The whole display is barbarlo In Its splendor and beautiful In its unusual color and perfect workmanship. The school is truly indebted to Mr, Keens for such an acceptable gift. Two largo cannons of the alyle which has gone out of active service have been secured for the school at the lnbtlgation of Mr. Keens by Senator Norrls Brown. They wUl be plaoed- la front of the main entrance to Cocran Jiall, on, either side of the main appr&ich. The concrete beds and pedestal4 'are already In place and it Is expeoted that' the guns will be here and In place some time this fall. The foot ball schedule is complete and the first, real game will be played next Saturday on the Kearney grounds with the Hastings High school. Several out-of-town games will be played, enough to take up every Saturday of the sea son, which will be brought to a close by the usual game on Thanksgiving day with the Kearney High school. , Karl Reader, who took post graduate work here two years ago, has gone to California for the winter to take a posi tion In a bank on the western coast, where he will study foreign exchange.

On Friday evening, Sep tember 25, under its direction, Donald Rkbertsun and hla company of players from Qhlcago presented Milton's mask, "Comus." The environment for the pro duction, was Ideal a stage of green turf with a natural background of trees and shrubbery, a clear starry sky overhead and soft, green grass underneath. The lines of the play were read with fine power and discriminating taste. The music furnished by the orchestra of the school of music gave an added charm to the effect of the whole.

Yale university and New Haven will celel brate this month the ISoth annlveriity of the birth of Noah Webster, author of the spelling book and dictionary. The Webster homestead Is still standing at New Haven, and the window where Noah Webster sat for upward of forty years while he compiled and rewrote his dictionary overlojks part of Yale college. Diagonally across the street from the win dow Is the old Grove street cemetery wh.'re he was buried. He was born October li, ITSg. In his youth he had many troubles, like many another author. He brought up a family of eight on the proceeds of his spelling book. In after years he never tired of telling how his father starled him out in the world to make his fortune with $3 of Coutlnental money In his pocket, amount ing in reality to barely 14 In currency. During his career at Yolo, from which he wn gradmt'd In 1774. Wrbiter failed to dis tinguish himself from his other classmates. Afte graduating he taught school and studied law. In 1783 he met In Washington the Rev. Dr. 8. 6. Smith, afterward pres ident of Prlnrtton college, and mentioned to him his plan of bringing out a spelling book which he had already partly prepared tor publication. Dr. Bmlth encouraged him In hi elan and the following winter was spent by Mr. Webster In revising the book. Then he went to Hartford to publish "The First Part of a Grammatical Institute of the English Language." It waa the first book of the kind ever published In this country and tha sales from It at one time were 1.000,000 copies a year. From this book he received one cent a copy, fp to 1847 over 21,000,000 coplea had been sold. In 1S07 he began his life work, the com piling cf the dlctlonsry. In the first part of the century Mr. Webster, for economical reasons, removed to Amherst, where. It was said. It was largely through his Influence that the college was finally founded. He returned to New Haven to receive the de gree of LL. D. from Yale In K23. The fol lowing year he went to Europe to study for the final preparation of his dictionary. On his return from abroad he settled perman ently In New Haven. The first edition of his dictionary ap peared In 183. In 1S43 ho finished the ap pendix and settled down to enjoy a long contemplated rest. That same year he died. Edncatlonal Notes. Trof. Cnarles H. Judd. head of the de partment of physiology st Yale university for several years, has tendered his resigna tion to take effect next June, when he will become dean of the School of Education at the Chicago university. Boston has a boy of 10 who has passed the entrance examination to the Institute of Technology, la up In mathematics, phy slcs and astronomy, could read and writs when he was 2 years old. Is self-educated and has spent only eleven months of his life In school. In a university students' fight In Phila delphia slv were seriously Injured, one so much so that he may die. Between molly coddling and fighting to a fatal finish there is such an extreme difference that it might repay college authorities and students to find a happy medium. The plans and specifications for the new civil engineering building which is to be erected on the Union college campus have Just been completed by the architects and the contract will be let by a special com mittee of the trustees, of which Oeorge F. Seward of New York Is the chairman. The new building will cost $100,000. The program for the Induction Into the presidency of Williams college, on October 7, of Prof. Harry A. Oarfleld, formerly of Princeton university, Includes five events. Among the prominent speakers. In addition to Prof. Garfield, will be Rev. Dr. William Orosvenor of New York, Rev. Dr. John Zelie of Plainfleld. N. J., and Hamilton W. Mable, editor of the Outlook. Invitations have been accepted by seventy-nine college presidents to be guests of the college. Among the women announced to speak at the annual conference of publlo education, which takes place In Washington the last part of September, and the first part of October, Is Miss Emma J. Crause, who will talk on the eyesight and the general health of school children. She will be followed by Dr. Rebecca Stoneroad on physical training In schools. Miss Julia Rlchman on school health In school districts, Mrs. Wilbur F. Craft on Esperanto, Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey on mental health In schools. CALLER TAKEN FOR BURGLAR Policeman on Arrival Flnda Only Male Frland of Family Domestic. If every evening caller, youthful lover and occasional suitor were taken for a burglar, the marriage license office would probably experience a decided slump In Its business. But domestic servants might not present such a problem as they do at present, should their matrimonial Inclina tions be dulled by having their evening visitors mistaken for night prowlers and threatened with arrest. During a lull In police station activities last night a telephone message from John A. Fuller of HIS South Thirty-second street Informed the desk sargeant that a burglar was prowling around his home, and In response Officer Ed. Morgan was sent out on the emergency motorcycle to Investi gate, v It developed that the so-called burglar and prowler was Hans Franols Hansen, who was waiting In the neighborhood till an acquaintance, Anna Sweedler, should return to the house where she is employed and should receive him. The young woman Is a domestic at the home of Mrs. Mets, 312 Pacific street, and she had Just stepped across the street before Hansen called. When Bhe returned her assertions with those of Hansen convinced Office Morgan that he was not needed, so he went back to the police station, leaving the suRpected man to make his delayed call.
