falsehoods or are obtained by means of bribing ignorant ser
vanU and It stands to reason that for tho sake of a bribe ono
of evil Intentions Is not above Inventing falsehoods for the
purpose of obtaining the bribes
Do that as It may early In tho month of August Mr Roose
volt will Impart some of his new to a select gathering of East
Africans at a banquet You cant keep reporters from a ban
quet consequently at the time of writing there Js no repson to
rupposo that tho world will not get tho former American execu
tives remarks In full
Mr Roosevelt will tell his hunting experiences his views
on world politics and lots of other things which will astonish
his staid British hosts and will sot them to thinking
Tho world at largo Is getting little Roosevelt stuff as
the editors call It The reason for It Is said to bo tho hunters
desire to pursuo tho life of a ulmrod undisturbed by eager news

every day but they keep out of
Bight Entering the port of Mombasa
Theodore Roosevelt and his big
stick made an Instantaneous hit
Ho was strenuous Britishers are
slow of movement and thought
they are deliberate Not so with
the American hero Ho thought
quickly spoke quickly and said
things which made the Inhabitants
stand up and shout
Ho talked about the great country
which tho British had built and al
most civilized In Africa Ho made
other points which tickled his hosts
and be was solid with them from
tho minute ho put foot on tho gang
plank of tho steamer which brought
him from Naples Italy Ho told
his East African friends that ho
wanted to bo treated like a regula
tion American citizen not like n
former president of tho United
States This tho British seemed to think was a
first class invitation to treat him like a king
which they did
With his entourage riding In tho passenger
compartments of a primitive Uganda railway
coach Mr Roosevelt gavo a real strcnuoslty ex +
htbition by daring Acting Governor Jackson to
ride with him on tho cowcatcher Ho said there
was more breeze on tho front of tho train any
way Mr Jackson and Mr Roosevelt then stopped
the outfit and took positions of vantage ahead of
tho fireman and engineer
This tickled the Britishers Nobody bad ever
thought of riding on tho front of an engine be
fore in East Africa They had always done tho
most commonplace thing by seating themselves
on the cushions So because ho was different
from their kind they liked the American from
the start
startThe
The rids that day lasted CO miles when the en
gine being a union engine refused to work over
eight hours and gaVo out The next dAY tho rldo
was repeated and today half tho British East
African highbrows ride on tho front of the en
gine when they want to make an Impression
Onco on Sir George MacMlllans ranch the
real sport of the expedition commenced
MncMlllnns ranch is a notorious hangout for
maneating lions They roar around tho ranch
at night and tear up things generally Colorado
mountain lions were easily beneath tho hunting
prow i8 of Mr Roosevelt and ho proved that Af
rican lions are alsorans alongside of tho Amerl
can brand by depleting the kingdom of Leo by
six in two days thereby setting a new record for
huntsmen in this section of Africa
A big hungry hippopotamus chased Mr
Roosovelt ono day Formulating his plans as ho
sped along through tho jungle the ex president
led tho enraged animal to the open and set two
steel bullets crashing between his eyes when tho
hippo was only 100 feet away Kermit bad a
similar experience with a rhinoceros and display
Ing the family traits of his father stood hi
t ground and succeeded in dispatching Mr Rhino

at 40 yards The
beast was charging
him in dangerous
fashion
Not long ago Mr
Roosevelt captured
two baby nntctlopes
and sent them to
his daughter Mrs
Nicholas Long
worth who by this
timo doubtless has
received them More
than 1500 speci
mens had been cap
tured by the Roose
welt party up to the
time of this writ
Ing and before the expedition weighs anchor
for other shores probably 1000 more will havo
reached the taxidermists
Lions wildebeests antelopes giraffes hippo
potami rhinoceri tigers monkeys and dozens of
other varieties are among tho trophies of the
chase To hermit Roosevelt tho expedition has been
a source of wonderment and pleasure Every
thing was now to him Ho bad read about the
mysteriousness bf darkest Africa but bad never
been given an opportunity to even peer Into the
confines of a real lion hunting camp
At the present writing both Kermit and his
father are In the best of health both wearing a
swarthy tan which la darker than tho Jungle
stained khaki suits in which most of the hunting
is done
A short time ago Mr Roosevelt visited the
American mission near hero and he expressed
pleasure at the work which the organization is
doing for the African savage The morning of
tho day he visited tho mission ho spent in hunt
ing Culubra monkeys and succeeded in shooting
several which were added to tho list of aped
mens
Officials hero have expressed tho belief that
Mr Roosevelts bagging of game is justifiable In
view of the fact that his specimens are being
secured for tho purpose of stocking tip tho
Smithsonian Institution at Washington
Perhaps the biggest test of Roosoveltlan siren
uoslty came when tho party crossed the desert
west of this city In this instance they were
compelled to go for more than a week without
procuring water All tho liquid refreshment they
had was carried with them in great water skins
suitable for this purpose
Bwana Tumbo which Is an African expression
of reverence was the nickname which Mr Roose
velts native servants soon attached to him and
when I met tho ex president at Kapltt Plains
station where he was obliged to stop during his
travels ho seemed pleased to bo reminded ot
the fact that ho had struck a responsive chord

The Roosevelt

a unique scene

velts adobe which
also housed Kermit
Before it floated the
American flag and
grouped around it
along miniature
streets were the
pup tents of the
porters gunbearera
bush beaters cooks
and other servants
Kermit Roosevelts
personal servant Ju
ma by name became
as devoted to his
young master as
though the latter
were of regal heri
tage Ho followed
him everywhere and
was at his side dur
ing the rhinoceros in

mlts life was per
iledJumas
Jumas gaudy tur
ban khaki halfhose
and Amorican made
calfskin shoes which
him as a
Kermit marked
were a present from
man to be envied among his fellows Tho expres
Idunt said that whenever ho needed Kermit for any
matter whatsoever it was onoly necessary to scan
tho horizon for Jumas gay headpiece
During his hunting travels and speaking
Dwana Tumbo never has lost sight of his writing
Ho is writing a chapter hero and there whenever
ho has the time or inclination to devote a few
hours to the book of travels which ho has half
completedMr D Cunlnghamo Mr Roosevelts hunter
Is typical of the African sportsman and is declared
to know more about game in this section of the
world than any other game export
No more unique sight was ever presented to
the casual observer than that which met my eye
when I alighted from a Uganda railway coach at
Kaptl Plains where Mr Roosevelt and his army
were grouped Tho station is on Sir Alfred Peases
ranch or estate as it is known here
The Plains consists of hardly more than the
signboard which tells its name Mr Roosovelta
army was drawn up about Him the expresident
was conversing with Hunter Cuninghame and the
former executives gunhearer Abdallah bin Said
was awaiting orders from his chief Of tho army
Abdallh is most devoted to his master and the
frequent lashings which the heads of the expedl
tion are often compelled to administer to quell
impending mutiny are never necessary with this
character Ho Is a unique type of African and be
cause of his good qualities ho commands better
pay than tho rest of his fellows
Tho man who aided Mr Roosevelt In getting
his expedition ready cautioned him against asking
any of his servants to do duties for which any of
tho others were hired
Tho labor Union instinct is second nature with
the attache of the African hunting expedition Let
a gun bearer try to do tho work of a porter qr
bush beater and there is war in camp at onco
Neither may tho game carriers beat the gamo into
sight Perhaps this system Is for the best after
all for the reason that every man specializes and
therefore is able to do his own allotted work ton
better advantage
It Is said here that Mr Roosevelts entire expe
dition will cost between 15000 and 20000 which
to an American hunter may seem on enormous
price But hunting wild game In Africa is a heavy
undertaking and In order to go through with such
a tars that amount of money Is actually neces
nary But the party is getting results and that Is
what they figure is the proper viewpoint
Having arrived in the Stolk district Kern and
his father had plenty of gamo upon which to exhibit
their prowess Tho younger Roqsevelt immediately
Bet about establishing a hunting record by bagging
the biggest lion which up to that time had found
its way to the taxidermist of tho party In tho Stolk
district Mr Roosevelt shot many buffaloes their
skins being preserved for tho Smithsonian lnstl

TIME From late A D El to early In
S3 Paul WAIl at Corinth a year and
six months
PLACECorinth the political capital
of Greece the metropolis of commerce
Suggestion and Practical Thought
1 Corinth the Vanity Fair of the
Roman empire Corinth the center of
government commerce and business
as Athens was of learning literature
and art was situated on tho isthums
which joins tho great divisions of
Greece It attracted people from all
over tho world on account of its de
lightful climate It contained a popu
lation of 400000 of the most hetero
geneous nature possible a population
of Greek adventurers and Roman
bourgeois with a tainting of Phaenl
clans8 mass of Jews ex soldiers
philosophers merchants sailors freed
men slaves tradespeople hucksters
and agents of every form of vlceo
colony without aristocracy without
tradition without wellestablished citi
zens Hence it suffered from demo
cratic license and turbulence
2 Pauls Labors Among tho Corin
thian JowsVs 26 1 His Oppor
tunity This great city with its world
liness and absorption in pleasure its
vigorous and Varied life its Infinite
needs gave Paufa great opportunity
And yet tho difficulties were so im
mense the obstacles so insurmount
able that it is no wonder that Paul
came to them feeling his weakness
and in fear and trembling tCo 23
and needed the vision of cheer v 9
2 His Four Friends Paul had a
strong social nature and felt the
value of friends Ho found a certain
Jew Paul always began with the
Jews as the best possible opening for
his work He was a tentmaker named
Aquila a man of some wealth born
in Pontus but doing business in
Rome His wife was named Prlsctlla
and Is supposed to have been a Gen
tile
5 In addition to these friends Silasi
and Tlmotheus came from Macedonia
They had been left at Berea when
Paul was compelled to leave Acts 17
13 15 Timothy had been sent to
Thessalonica 1 Tbes 36 and from
Philippians 416 we judge that he
had visited Philippi also Pauls friend
ly heart was cheered by their pres
ence Tho Circumstance in Which Paul
Worked 1 He earned his own living
°
by working at his trade He w as thus
a living sermon as it was Jewish law
that every boy be taught a trade of
some kind for his support
2 He attended v 4 the syna
goguo every Sabbath and reasoned
with the Jews and Greek proselytes
determined to know nothing among
them save Jesus Christ and him cru
cified 1 Cor 22
4 Ho met bitter opposition from his
countrymen v 6 They opposed
themselves Tho intensity and suc i
cess of Pauls labors kindled an in
tensity of opposition The result was
that tho Jews v 66 opposed them
selves and blasphemed That was I a
sign that tho Gospel was becoming a
power in the community
III Pauls Work Among the Corin
thian Gentiles Vs 722 Pauls
Preaching Place was in tho house of
a man named v 7 Justus one thatS
worshiped God a Gentile believer
in the one true God but not a Jew
whose house joined hard to the syna
gogue Here would bo a perpetual
Invitation to the Jews while at tho
same tlmo tho Gentiles would feel wel
come to go there
During this period Paul wrote his
two letters to the Thessalonians
Renewed Opposition This was
both natural and providential It
was time for Paul to go on with his
wider mission which no one could car
ry on as well as he But his work
seemed so necessary where ho was
and his vision had bidden him to stay
how long he did not know that It was
necessary that some unmistakablej
guidance should make his duty clearI
I
and plainI
18 After continuing for some time
longer at his work Paul went to
Cenchrea the port of Corinth where
ho made a vow and then sailed for
Cesarea stopping at Ephesus on his
way Thence he went up to Jerusalem
where only tho vow could be consum
mated Moreover ho wished to be at
the great feast of the Jews probably
the Passover v 21
Tho Vow The shaving of the head
Indicates a vow of separation like that
of tho Nazirlte prescribed In Numbers
6 In a later modified form The man
under tho Nazi rUe vow was to drink
no wine or strong drink and to lot no
razor pass over his head or face The
hair was shorn at the beginning pad
end of tho period so as to present
that grown in the Interval At tho
end of the time during which tho vow
lasted hlahalr was shaven
As Rendall suggest Paul may
have wished to show that although
ho had broken with tho synagogue at
Corinth yet ho was a true Jew and a
faithful disciple of Moses by paying
homage to the law and submitting to
its rules This would also bo shown
by his attendance at tho Passover
Thus closes the second missionary
journey
Make a brief review of these years
1 By tho map tracing out the
course of Pauls travels 2 By cities
and countries 3 By person 4 By
events 6 By a summary of tho roe
suits In the progress of Christianity I
