The Cromwell Co., 434 Lafayette St., New York, FOLDING ROOSEVELT’S TENT.—With the two thicknesses of canvas separated, the poles taken out and the ropes tied securely up into packages, por- ters would carry Col. Roosevelt's tent easily on their heads, round which they would first wrap their blankets turban-fashion. When camp was broken, Col. Roosevelt's was the last tent to go down; when camp was pitched it was the first to go up, always with the flag proudly put in place by whichever porter had had the coveted honor of carrying it on the march.

Roosevelt's tent is marked by the Stars and Stripes, which always floated over it, an object of veneration to the na- tives. It was a double, tent, to afford protection against the rays of the tropical sun. To one side is Kermit's tent, to the other the dining tent. The tents of the other white men on the expedition fill the rest of the front row. ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA A Series of 16 Cards illustrating Roosevelt's Hunting Trip. 25 cents. The Cromwell Co., 434 Lafayette St., New York, THE EXPEDITION ON THE MARCH.—The porters swing off across the plain as if they carried noth- ing; they talk and joke among themselves as they go. At an average gait of three and a half miles an hour they will cheerfully do some sixteen or eighteen miles in a day, and on reaching the spot where camp is to be pitched, they will put up the tents and draw water and cut firewood before they think of resting.

Roosevelt had had an exciting adventure on Lake Naivasha with this hippopotamus, which charged, open-mouthed, the rowboat in which were Col. Roosevelt, Kermit and Cuninghame. While Col. Roosevelt was firing, Kermit was coolly taking the creature's picture. Col. Roosevelt was much im- pressed with the quickness of these great short- legged, ungainly beasts.

Roosevelt be- gan his African experiences by a novel ride on the cowcatcher of an engine to view the wild animals with which the country abounds. They come up within full sight of the railroad track, and are in- deed sometimes killed by the cars. In the picture, R. J. Cuninghame, the guide of the expedition, is seated next to Col. Roosevelt, and next to Cuning- hame is Dr. Edgar A. Mearns, the scientist. ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA A Series of 16 Cards illustrating Roosevelt's Hunting Trip. 25 cents. The Cromwell Co., 434 Lafayette St., New York. THE BULLET THAT KILLED THE BIG HIPPO.- Col. Roosevelt was making an experiment in big- game shooting by using a full-jacketed bullet with a repeating rifle. The results proved highly satis- factory in this case and in others, the bullet flat- tening just enough to kill promptly without doing unnecessary damage to the specimen.

ROOSEVELT ON “TRANQUILLITY.”—Mounted on his horse “Tranquillity,” his repeating rifle in his hand, Col. Roosevelt is ready to start off for a day's shooting. Before firing, he will dismount to get a perfect aim, for he never pulls the trigger until he is sure that he has covered his quarry, and the more dangerous the animal the more deliberate he will be. Meanwhile, “Tranquillity,” his horse, will remain quietly near him, not requiring to be held or tied. ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA A Series of 16 Cards illustrating Roosevelt's Hunting Trip. 25 cents. The Cromwell Co., 434 Lafayette St., New York. ALI, ROOSEVELT'S DEVOTED TENT BOY.- A half-Arabian, half-Swahili half-Swahili coast native, who served Col. Roosevelt during the entire African trip. Ali was much impressed by the fact that Col. Roosevelt always had Mrs. Roosevelt's photo- graph near him, and he would keep it in the tent always turned so as to face Col. Roosevelt.

CUNINGHAME, GUIDE OF THE EXPEDITION.- One of the most experienced guides in Africa, who shared with Col. Roosevelt the task of planning the entire expedition. He was responsible for manag- ing the supplies and the natives. ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA A Series of 16 Cards illustrating Roosevelt's Hunting Trip. 25 cents. The Crorwell Co., 434 Lafayette St., New York. THE TWO NATIVE HEADMEN.—These headmen were the intermediaries between Cuninghame and the porters and were responsible for the good con- duct of the latter. The taller of the two, Preis- David, was a mission boy, and, as his work was very efficient, Col. Roosevelt would quote his case whenever he heard the character of mission boys run down by East Africans. ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA A Series of 16 Cards illustrating Roosevelt's Hunting Trip. 25 cents. The Cromwell Co., 434 Lafayette St., New York. THE FOUR GUN-BEARERS.-In a country in- fested by dangerous game it is always necessary to have an extra gun-bearer with a relief gun, so Col. Roosevelt and Kermit were provided with two each. These gun-bearers sometimes show extraordinary courage, risking their lives to save their masters. Kermit Roosevelt appears in the rear.

THE COOKING HUT.—The cooking was always done in a hut of poles and elephant-grass built by the natives wherever camp was pitched. Four to six porters slept in each little tent. Col. Roosevelt objected to this discomfort for them and ordered roomier quarters, but they objected saying they got cold at night unless they lay in bunches.

One Ceut AT WORK ON A SPECIMEN.- Edmund Heller, the naturalist, found great difficulty in training natives to help him in the skinning of the specimens, un- til he noticed that while the natives of the Swahili tribe liked only rice, the Kikuyus only beans, the Masai only milk mixed with blood, the Wakamba tribe liked raw meat, which they tore with filed teeth. He therefore concentrated his attention on Wakamba, since they seemed predisposed by their tribal customs to have an interest in animals, and he succeeded in making excellent skinners of several.

McMillan, of St. Louis, to get in touch with civilization once more. They are here represented on the veranda of Mr. McMillan's house.

One Ceut DISTRIBUTING THE PORTER'S LOADS.—Just be- fore the march begins, Cuninghame verifies the packing and binding of the important pieces of luggage, and sees that an equitable distribution of the loads is made. Each porter then puts down his allotted load in front of him, waiting for the signal to start. ROOSEVELT IN AFRICA A Series of 16 Cards illustrating Roosevelt's Hunting Trip. 25 cents.

On account of the scien- tific nature of this expedition, causing all specimens to he preserved, 240 porters were required.
