TWO GOOD SQUEEZERS
Two men were boasting about
their brothers. The first one said:
"My brother once went to a bil
liard match, picked up a hall In his
right hand and an * li*r In hla left,
squeezed them, and the result was
powder.”
"That's nothing* said the other.
“My brother once went to a farm,
and he took a bull In the left hand
and one In the right; he squeezed
them; result—bottle of meat ex
tract.”—The Progreslve Grocer.

BoGIN here today,
Robsrt Forsn, newspaper cor*
fespondsnt, accompanies the
Theodore Rooeevelt expedition
into Africa in 1909. They ar
rive at Mombaeea, the “gate
way to Britiah Eaat Africa,"
and then go by train to the
first camp on the game-crowd
ded Kapiti Plaine. With Col
onel Rooeevelt are hie eon, Ker
mit, and three scientific mem
here of hie etaff— Major Edgar
A. Mearne, Edmund Heller and
J. Allen Loring.
After a wonderfully sue
euceaefut ehooting trip in the
Sotik country, the expedition
campt for more hunting at a
farm callad Saigai-Sai. After
eeverel other tripe they invade
the Guaso Nyero elephant
country and meet with more
good aport. Foran, at Nairobi,
eenda a telegram to Roosevelt,
at Nyeri, asking for bis com
ment on Captain Peary’s an
nouncement that he has dis
covered the North Pole.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY.
A few day* after the receipt of
this letter from Colonel Roosevelt,
which hud been sent from Mweru.
It rend:
"Capt. Robert Koran,
lloma Trading Company,
Nairobi.
Meet me at Natvasha on Oct. JO.
Send to I’eury following telegram
which you ean publish. Quote.
Deeply appreciate your cable. I
congratulate you from my heart.
All the American people, nnd In
deed all civilized mankind are your
debtor*. You have performed one
of the greatest feats of tho ages.
Rookevelt.”
Immediately after sending me
this message for transmission to
Captain I’eary. Colonel Kooaevelt
started off on his hunt out of
Mweru for the Guaso Nyero. Her
mit had already gone off with Tar
lton to Lake Barlngo. Their ex
traordinary luck In hunting still
held good.
About the 16th of October, T re
ceived news of their good fortune
by a telegram from Colonel Roose
velt himself. He had wired me
from Nyerl on the preceding dny.

Colonel Roosevelt looked remark

As we turned back with him «">*

Before there wae time for me to re
load, the thick brushes parted on
my left and a huge bull elephant
charged etralght for me. He was
so close that he could have knocked
me down with his trunk. I
"I leapt to one side and dodged I

Into the brushes. Doth his bullets
hit, and stopped the charge. The
elephant wheeled. and galloped
away into the thick cover of the
forest. We run after him, hut were
unable to get a shot at him. We
could hear him trumpet shrilly and
angrily ahead of us; and then all
sound erased. It was a mighty
close shave, Foran.”
I had heard of bis being nearly
killed hy a charging elephant, but
had not realized how dose hail been
the call. It was, indeed, a provi
dential escape.
The skins and skeletons of the
elephants that had been killed were
carried Into Nalvasha hy the na
tive porters; but, us the loads were
very bulky and heavy, the progress
of the safari was necessarily slow,
not reaching the camp until lato in
the afternoon.
The huge skulls of the elephants
were slung on poles, and each wns
carried by eight porters. Each
load had a relief party of eight
porters In attendance upon it.
otherwise they would not have been
able to carry the heavy loads over
the high hills of the Aberdare
Range.
On reaching Nalvasha, the loads
were Immediately spread out in the
camp and sorted. Then lleller took

more of his recent trip. He seemed
particularly proud of his exporlen-
CCS when Jointing along with only
his native followers In the Guaso
Nvero country.
He had used donkeys to carry his
supplies anil baggage on this trip,
also some Kikuyu natives. Here he
had killed a magnificent specimen
of an eland bull, after a long and
difficult stalk. Hater he had killed
an oryx, nnd a mnrnhnut stork on

That night Roosevelt and Heller
slept ut the hotel, while Cunning -
ham* and myself bedded down In
the camp. Wo were all up and
about at sunrise, for our train wa*
due to leave ter Nairobi at S
o'clock. W* arrived at Nairobi at
noon, and found Lord Dehttnere nnd
a great many officials and settler*
on the platform to greet Colonel
Roosevelt on his return nfter such
a long absence. He stood chatting
with Lord Delemera for some time,
arranging the details of his hunt
with him after Bongo and giant pig
at N.iero In December. And then
he drove off to McMillan’s house,
where he was to be a guest while
In Nairobi.
Hermit and Tarlton arrived the

down from Nakuru In a freight
train. They had done some suc
cessful hunting during the two or
three days they had remained at
Nakuru.
AIL the members of the expedi
tion spoke wistfully of Kermlt’s as
tounding feats of endurance on
safari. It seemed that ho could
even wear down such tried old ve
terans as Cunninghame and Tarl
ton. The latter was looking very
much worse for his hard hunting
in company with Kermlt.
According to Tarlton, Kermlt ab
solutely did not know the meaning
of the word “fear,” and no hardship
was too great for him. Distance
was no obstacle, and he would as
soon travel 40 miles a day as 20.
Ills foot running had greatly Im
pressed Tarlton and Indeed every
one In the expedition; and no more
than one occasion Kermit had run
down on foot fleet-footed antelope
or gazelle, and then killed them
after a long chase across the sun
burned plain.
On Monday, Oct. 25, we all left
Nairobi for Lundianl.
We reached Nakuru at 3 o’clock
In the morning, and here collected
our porters and horses. Cunning
hame, Tarlton nnd I worked all
through the small hours of the
morning to see that they were all
got onto the train. At daybreak
wo reached Molo, on the summit of
the Mau Escarpment, and at an al
titude of 8300 feet above the sea
level. This is the highest point on
the Uganda Railway. The railway
up to this point passes through
great forests and through occa
sional open glades. The air yvas
fresh nnd bracing, nnd had a cold
snap to It. From the Mau Sum
mit we ran down through fine open
grass plains, edged with belts of
fine forests, to I.ondtant at an al
titude of some 7410 feet.

MASTERY OF DETAILS IS
ONE SECRET OF SUCCESS
By S. W. STRAUS,
President American Society for
Thrift.
THE poet Goethe, who spent near
ly an entire lifetime In the
composition of one of his master-
pieces, once
wrote that “Gen
ius is an infinite
capacity for tak
ing pains."
It is said that
Thomas Gray
worked with in
finite pains for
seven years on
his immortal ele
gy said by
many critics to
mark the high-
8. W. STRAUS
est literary accomplishment of any
man.
In similar manner, an “infinite
capacity for taking pains” general
ly spells success in the world of
business.
Almost any successful business
man will agree that it is largely the
little leaks that constitute the great
danger of a business.
He will also tell you that, by the
same token, it is the attention to
details and the mastery of them
them that brings success.
In our personal lives —in our am
bitious endeavors to accomplish
success —the same rules hold true.
Through the steady, successful
accomplishment of details we move
forward. Through successive fail
ure in small motives we gradually
drift downward to failure and pos
sible ruin.
Very much of the essentials of
good thrift lies 1n our ability to
master the little things of life.
The successful executive so
builds his organization that leaks
and lost motion will be done away
with to the greatest possible extent
It is true, of course, that men fail
many times because they try to car
ry too many details, but this does
not mean that such details are not
worthy of attention. The fault in
these cases lies in inadequate di
rect lon.
To be truly thrifty one must be
thorough. And thoroughness means
taking pains—infinite pains—in all
essentials.

A RULE THAT ISN'T GOLDEN
In an Oklahoma town, a store re
cently closed its doors —a commer
cial failure. This store advertised
itself as the 'Golden Rule Grocery
and Market." Its “golden rules"
were still streaming In the windows
In the form of hideous placards,
even though the Sheriff had closed
the front doors.
These placards read: “We meet
anybody’s prices;” “Our 75c on the
dollar sale is now on.”
“Of course,” says an editorial in
The Progressive Grocer, "any store
run on such a ‘golden rule’ would
eventually fall. The one golden
rule of retailing that this merchant
never learned was this: “'You can’t
both give your profits away and
keep if
“That’s why the Sheriff closed the
business.
“Almost every day some one ex
plodes one of our pet theories. How
often have you heard this phrase:
‘Competition is the life of trade!'
“Extravagent competition In any
line is wasteful and leads to ruin,
and you soon learn that competi
tion may be the ‘death’ of trade as
wel las the ‘life’ of it. There must
ho reason and common sense In all
things"

In the wide doorway, between the House

a door facing east and a door facing west
both swung on their hinges.
And on the floor, crumpled into an un

To Kraft, the home run king of

two hits in 17 trips to the plate he

MOSCOW CABARETS
Are Dull With Profiteers In
Exile v
MOSCOW.—The wholesale de
portation to Sibera and the north
of profiteers and others, have had
a bad effect on the Russian res
taurants and night-life resorts
Whereas a year ago Moscow was
as gay with smart restaurants,
cabarets and cases as the liveliest
American city, It is today as dull
and depressing as a New England
village on a Blue Sunday.
It Is not an uncommon sight
nowadays to find more waiters In a
Moscow restaurant than actual
patrons. This is due partly to the
disappearance of the profiteers,
who were the most regular and
liberal frequenters of the restaur
ants, and partly to a fear on the
part of those left behind that they
may share a like fate if they give
evidence of having sufficient mon
ey to patronize the more expensive
eating places.
After partaking of expensive re
pasts at Moscow’s best restaurants,
Russian business and professional
men have undergone the experi
ence of being cross-examined by.
police officers as to how they came*
into possession of sufficient money,
to patronize such (extravagant pa-,
