REVELATIONS OF A WIFE
The A-Hmlslilng Advice That
Dicky .ne Mnilgv
"Margaret; Nicluml! Come here
at once!"
.Mother Graham's excited old voice
ring through the upper hall of the
farmhouse. t held the same per
emptory ling that she would have
used in summoning Junior, an J
though I was bitterly ut variance
with my husbuinl, and I felt that
I should never wish to smile again,
there was a distinct tug (it my ris-
Ibles as I taw him takii.it the stairs
two at a time In his haste 10 an-
swer that peremptory call before
his Irascrlble parent should alto-
gethor ln.e the patience which is

I reached her door at almost the
Instant of Dicky's arrival, and he
stepped hack for me to enter with
the courteous gesture which Is one
or nis rascinai.ng nine ways. im
tnere was no mm ot recognition in
his face or In mine a Jpith a for
mal little nod of acknowledgement,
I entered the room before him. We
were keeping strictly to the com
pact of outyard courtesy and secret
Ignoring of each other which vc
had made upon the night ot cur
quarrel over Mollie Fawcett.
"Just read this!" Mothor Gra
ham extended a letter to me In a
hand that shook pitifully. "It's
from Edwin and Harriet!"
Dutifully I turned toward Dicky
and held out the letter, for his
mother usually wishes him to read
her letters to her. But her voice,
crisp, emphatic, stopped me.
"If I had wanted Richard to
read that letter aloud I should have
handed It to him," she snapped.
"He generally reads as if he had
mush. In his mouth anyway, and
whatever other faults you may
have, Margaret," her tone implied
that they were too many to
enumerate "you can read aloud
so it is a pleasure to listen to you."
"Thank you," I said meekly, un
ijerstanding that my mother-in-law,
prohibited by my plea from taking
Dicky to task about Mollie Fawcett,
was losing no opportunity, even so
email a one as this, of evincing her
displeasure against him.
Harriet's Letter
"Dear Mother, Richard, Margaret
and our darling 'Junior," it began,
nd I permitted myself a start of
surprise at the expansive greeting,
so different from Harriet's usual
Kilted style.
"We are 'Somewhere in South
America,' and we dare give no
other address, for the mails may be
watched. But if Mrs. Underwood
Till open the envelope we gave her
when we left her, you will find the

back until everything Is settled, no
matter how long it takes, so I wish
Letter from Annette Anderson to
Mrs. John Allien Prescott.
My Dear Mrs. Prescott:
I hope you will forgive me for
bothering you, for with your fear
and grief over your father's Illness,
I certainly do not wLsh to add to
your burdens in any way. But, I
have to tell you and I may as well
do it first as last that I am going
to leave Mrs. Prescott, Miss Brad
ford and I cannot live in the name
apartment.
I do not know what there is about
that old maid, but there surely is
something that brings out every
critical and unkind faculty in your
mother-in-law's personality.
Mrs. Preecott does not strike one
Influenced, but in her case 1 have
found how ea.sy it i.s to appeal to
the worst that is in all of us. Mis.s
Bradford makes Mrs. Prescott feel
that she is hot onlv abused and her
Jnore than wonderful, infallible
Judgment absolutely disregarded,
but she is all the lime flattering Mrs.
Prescott's narrow egotism by telling
ker that her opinion is much better,
en account of her long life and ex
perience, than yours could possibly
be. Of course I do not mean this Is
being done In so many words, but

"1 Am Going to the City.-'
1 handed back the letter to Moth
er Graham, and seeing that she had
no further need o me, slipped from
the room.
To my surprise Picky followed
me directly, ad called to mo be
fore I had reached my own room.
Tn astonishment I turned to him,
wondering If he were repenting of
his part in the quarrel, but there
was no sign of anything save cold
decision 1n his face, and T schooled
my facial muscles to nonchalant
Indifference as I waited for him to
speak.
"T am polne up to the city on
the next train," he said measured
ly. "1 shall stay at the studio, hut

am needed for Mother or Junior,
you can send for me. ftut T do not

that T have been called to New

I nodded, the assent I could not
utter, and he went on rapidly.
"Here is something else. Miss
Fawcett Tins .lust received a letter
which has disturbed her exceed

it, ijut T do know or surmise this

the Intimation i.s clear.
I have been long enough, my dear
Mrs. Prescott, with all sorts and
conditions of men and women, to
know 1 hut age ha.? nothing to do
with judgment. A child of 16 is
sometimes belter capable of judging
the affairs or modern life than a
man or a woman of 60, who has
grown up in a secluded environment
and is full of narrow-minded preju

the milk of human kindness that is
in Mrs. i'reseott's heart. She has

mother, is not deferring to her
enough. Nothing I can do seems
able, to change her thoughts to
something happier or more kindly,
for Miss Bradford has sueeoeded ill
making Mrs. Pnscott think that I
am in league with you to curtail her
importance and influence in her
t son s eyes,
! Since Mrs. f're.scolt wen! away,
Miss Bradford ha persuaded his

Yesterday when I relumed -from my

been taken out of the closet.
Your mothe r had hired a very

slovenly in the extreme, and I am

Both Miss Bradford arid Mrs.

extravagance in clothes.
Next week Mrs. Prescott says she

SOME HYGIENE RULES
One day little Molly Mann came

printed the slogan: "An ounce of

Mrs. Mann smiled as Molly an
nounced: "We've got hygiene at
school now, and I'm going to help
you keep the house all. cleaned up."
TS,"That line." nodded Mrs. Mann.
"Well, teacher said first to start

tnu.s'il as she and Raggedy Andy
and Waller sat In under a clump of
bushes and watched the wood ahed
where mean Mr. Gooly had locked
the friendly wood duck boat.
"How ran we get the wood duck
out of the wood shed"
"I spect we will have to unlock
the door:" Raggedy Andy replied.
"Maybe we can stay here until mean
Mr. Gooly goes to sleep, or some
thing, then we can get the key and
unlock the shed door!"
"I'll run ur and see if he is
asleep"' Raggedy Ann suggested. Ho
having Walter with Raggedy Andy,
she lip'oed through' the bushes and
around in back of Mr. Gooly's house.
Yhn she reached the kitchen
door, Raggedy Ann heard something
make a .dreadful noise, like this,
v.aa-eke: zaw-kee:" ,
"Hn.:" Kargedy Arm mused, that
sounds a if mean Mr. Gooly had
gone to sleep end was snoring! I'll
jnst step in and seel" So she opened
the, kllchen door snd stepped Into
Mr. Gooly's kitchen.
The moment Raggedy Ann did
this, she knew she had" made a mis
t?ke, for the kitchen door slammed
behind her with a loud bang and
locked Itself. ,
"Mery sake:" Raggedy Ann ex
claimed K Mr. Gooly came running
into the kitchen.
"Aha:" the mean creature cried.
"Y'ou thought you could fool me very
easily. Didn't you. Raggedy Ann?"
he snickered. Then, as Raggedy
Ann did not reply, Mr. Gooly drag
ged her into his living room and
stuffed her under a glass case; the
kind you used to see In old fashion
ed homes a long time ago, with
dried flowers under them.
Then Mr. Gooly walked to tie
table and ound up a queer contri
vance and then unlocked the kitch
en door and sat down and waited.
Presently, Raggedy Ann heard the
same noises she had heard before,
snd It came from the thing Mr. Goo

Robert Koran, newspaper corre'
spondent, accompanies tho Theodore
lioosovelt expedition Into Africa in
1 not. They arrlvo at Mombassa,
tho "gateway ot British Eust
Africa," and then mako tlio railroad
ourney to their first camp on the
game-crowded Kaplll Plains, S88
miles from tho coast. With Colonel
lioosovelt are Ills son, Kermlt, and
three scientific members ot his staff
Major Edgar A. M oralis, Edmund
Heller and J, Allen I.orlng.
Incredible good luck comes to tho
rifles of Colonel Roosevelt and Ker
mlt during tho llrst two weeks of
their sojourn. Then they spend
some time at Nairobi and Kijabe
and then start on their first pro
longed safari across the "thirst
belt" in Sotlk. The procession of
porters, gunbearers, personal serv
ants and grooms is fully a quurter
oft a mile, long.
..NOW GO OV WITH THR STORY
The first live days' shooting in the
Sotik had brought fourteen or more
animals to Theodore Roosevelt's own
gun, to say nothing of .those that
fell to Kermlt's or those of the three
naturalists.
Colonel Roosevelt had shot only
animals that were wanted for the
museum or for food, although a
great many more' could have been
killed if it had been so desired.
But nothing was ever wantonly shot
or butchered "during tho whole
course of the expedition in Africa.
Included in the colonel's bag were
a lioness, a hyena, wart-hog, two
elands, two topi, two zebras and a
nine-foot python. Kermlt had
killed two cheetah .and a Jlon,
amongst other animals.
It was during these six weeks that
Colonel Roosevelt had some of his
most Interesting adventures, and as
the days progressed the collection of
specimens assumed gigantic propor
tions. Before they finally left the
Lake Naivas ' d7d to
the first live days' list no less than
three giraffe, six or more topi, slje
rhinos, three cheetas, and four
lions and lionesses.
In forwarding some more home
mail out to Theodore Roosevelt, I
had told him that 1 was leaving,
according to prearranged plans, for
Entebbe in Uganda; also that Wil
liams, who had been a fellow-guest
at McMillan's Juja farm, had been
badly mauled by a lion which he
Had mortally wounded and had then
charged him, and that a man named
Baker, whom ho had also met, had
been killed by an elephant; and,
finally, that I was going out on a
Hon hunt at Lake Nalvasha before
proceeding to Uganda.
NATIVES CUTTING

Roosevelt, written from one of the

"Theodore Roosevelt."
Many amusing letters were being
received by Colonel Roosev4lt from
unknown correspondents from all
over America, and even from Eu
rope. One man wrote to Colonel
Roosevelt to protest against
his
shooting such harmless and beauti
ful creatures as rhinoceros. When
Colonel Roosevelt read this letter,
he remarked to me:
"I should just like the writer to
be turned loose in a hlgh-walled en
closure with one of these 'harmless
and heautifuf creatures.' I think
he would quickly change his mind
about both qualities."
Colonel Roosevelt and his party
came Into camp at Salgal-Sal farm,
onthe southern short s of I-ake Nal
vasha, on July 12, for a hippopota
mus hunt
CHAPTER IX.
Hippopotamus Hunting at Safgal-Sai
The expedition had arrived at
Saigai-Bal, a fine farm that belonged
to Commander Frederick Atten
borough, R. :., and his brother, on
July 12, after a most, wonderfully
successful shooting trip in the 8otlk
country snd on the I.oietta PTalns.
It had been a very hard trek dur
ing the last two days of the journey
) 1924 NLA.
down to Lake Nalvasha, owing to
the absence ot water at tho first
camping-place. In consequence ot
this shortage of an sbsolute neces
sity, tho march had continued dur
ing the night with barely atop, ex
cept for brief rests en ropte, until
Sulgal-Sal farm had been reached. '
Tho huge tent-town of tne expedi
tion was pitched In a truly Ideal
spot. They had selected an open
stretcn or grass-land, which -was
surrounded on all aides by acacia
thorns, The scrub and papyrus
reeds were cut up in all directions
by hippopotamus tracks.
The chattering ot apes In the trees
and the shrill but tuneful twitter
ot bird-talk, combined with the
gentle lap of the waters of the lake,
alone ltsturbed the serenity ot that
peaceful scene.
Holler was engaged upon the great
task ot preparing the head and hide
of a giant hippopotamus, which
Kermlt had killed on July IS. Tarl-
ton was soon working strenuously
over tho Issuance ot stores to the
porters and superintending the erec
tion of a grass-thatched hut for the
accommodation of Dawson and my
self.
They all looked very bronzed and
well, and they were full of stories
of the wonderful experiences that
had befallen them In the Sotik
country. We lunched together In
the welcome shade of a roomy
grass-thatched shed that had been
erected as a mess house. The
tents of tne European personnel of
the expedition had been placed In
a long lino, facing the gorgeous
beauty of Ijike Nalvasha, while over
Colonel Roosevelt's tent lazily
floated the Inevitable American
flag.
After lunch Tarlton and I went off
to shoot owls for Mearns, and we
managed to secure some rare and
fine specimens which greatly de
lighted the doctor. After tea, I ac
companied Loring when he went out
to set his traps for small mammals.
Just as the sun was dipping to
meet the western, horizon over the
placid waters of the lake, Colonel
Roosevelt, Kermlt and Cunntnghame
returned to camp after an unsuc
cessful day's hunt after hippo.
:iullo, old Africa!" he shouted
to me, as I approached the landing
siage io welcome mm. "We had no
luck today. We saw two hippo In
deep water, and hit them both; but
but we must have' missed the brain,
foV we lost them."
"Father hit his in the head, at a
distance of a hundred yards," Ker
mlt Interposed, ruefully. "But he
did not get much Chance of a good
shot, and must have hit him too low
between the eyes."
"But we're going out again after
UP A HIPPOTAMUS
them tomorrow morning at day
break," Colonel Roosevelt declared,
and his teeth snapped close over
the words. "Come aJong with us
and see. the fun, Old Africa."
We were up betimes and, after a
hurried breakfast. Colonel Roose
velt, Kermlt, Dawson and myself
started off frnm ramn to ioin the
were steaming across the lake to
ward tho mouth of the Morendat
River a spot soma nine miles dis
tant from the camp. "
.lust as we came In sight ot the
mouth of the river, the sharp-eyed
Commander Attenborough spied a
large hippo walking along the edge
of the papyrus reeds rt the distant
end of a little bay. ' We headed the
launch straight for it. and slowed
down as we reached the water Utiles
and weeds that protected the edge
0,f the papyrus.
Colonel Roosevelt Kermit snd
Cunnlnghame rapidly ' transferred
themselves to the small rowing
boat, which we had been towing
and in which sat three porters who
could use the oars, aad started to
row in the direction of the hippo.
By this time it. had, disappeared In
the reeds.

FILMED IN LAPLAND
Swarming Rodents of Country Are
taken in Movies for American
Museum. .
Gothenburg, Sweden, Sept. U.
American scientists have just taken
the first film ever obtained of the
migration of lemmings, mole-like an
imals, one of the moat unique phe
nomena of the sr.lmal world.
Dr. -Clyde E. Fisher, a curator of
the American , Museum 'of Natural
Hiator, and Carveth Weus, now
here from a recent trip to Lapland,
say that a curious and absolutely
unique film is that of the lemmings.
These .rodents seem to multiply In
teeming numbers at Irregular Inter
vals, and are now more multltudious
than they have been for 18 years. A
wanderer above the tree line In the
Lapland mountains may suddenly
see the ground covered by them for
miles. They come by the millions,
swimming rivers and, climbing over
mountain ridges. Then either for
lack of food or In ' conflict with
natural enemies, they, perish In
masses. '' s
Tire Americans declared tat they
had missed nothing of natural in
aerest in Lapland. They even took
special films of the mosquitoes. -
SANTA'S HARD JOB -
Old St. Kick Said to Have Hard
Time Breaking in His Belndeere
For Service.
Anchorage, Alaska, Sept. 13.
The average youngster ' who pic
tures Santa Claus as having a soft
snap skipping his herd of reindeer
from roof to roof, would revise his
opinion if he saw a reindeer broken
to harness, say those who have un
dertaken the job.
Being a nomad, the work deer
cannot be corraled as a calf and
gradually domesticated. He must
be taken when practically full
grown. The battle to break him
lasts for many weeks, with the
animal alternating between trying
to escape and lighting like a Tas
manian devil, declares Tom Pooto
luk, an Eskimo herder.
First the reindeer is deprived of
his horns. It requires two or three
strong men to get the creature
harnessed. Then the fun begins.
At times the driver seeks refuge
under the side until the deer has
cooled down and decided to cease
hostilities for a while.
"Driving dogs all right," com
mented -Pootoluk. "But reindeer

Text Books and Novels Claimed to
Be Three Centuries Behind Ac
tually Existing Conditions,
Amsterdam, Sept. It. Antiquated
Ideas about Holland that prevail
abroad, and often move the present
generation of Dutch people to mild
resentment, have at last been track
ed to their origin.
A learned society which has mads
a thorough Investigation Into the
current geographical text books and
manuals used in. elementary and
secondary schools In all civilized
countries of the world, has publish
ed a report which discloses that
most of them are about 100, years
behind the times.
Horse drawn canal barges, for In
stance', are still given as the popular
mode of locomotion In Holland, and
while references to cows and wind
mills are plentiful, the books are
silent on the development of modern
Dutch dairy farming and other In
dustries of the country. In one In
stance, a text book drew a picture
of Dutch conditions as they existed
800 years ago. ,
The society in question has ap
pointed a committee to remedy this
state of things by vigorous efforts
abroad to bring knowledge about
preeent-day Holland somewhat more
up to date.
